Abstract

This study investigated 5-year cumulative incidence of unhealthy dietary habits across various gender and age groups within the CroHort study, a repeated cross-sectional survey of Croatian adults. The results monitoring the frequency of certain foodstuffs consumption indicate that 10.6% of examinees (10.9% of men, and 9.1% of women) reported worsening of their dietary habits in 2008 as compared to 2003. The cumulative incidence of unhealthy diet was higher in men than in women, and was highest in younger age-groups (18-34 years), both in men and women. The public health programmes should be strengthened in a way which would put a special emphasis on education of younger adults, especially males, on nutrition health impact and healthy diet principles.

Abstract in Croatian

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi 5-godišnju kumulativnu incidenciju loših prehrambenih navika prema spolu i dobnim skupinama. Na temelju podataka Hrvatske kohortne studije kardiovaskularnog zdravlja (CroHort) prikupljenih tijekom 2003. i 2008. godine kojom je praćena učestalost potrošnje pojedinih namirnica, dobiveni rezultati upu- ćuju na lošije prehrambene navike u 10,6% ispitanika u odnosu na njihovu prehranu 2003. godine. Istraživanja prema dobnim skupinama ukazala su da muškarci, ali i žene mlađe životne dobi, imaju najveću 5-godišnju kumulativnu incidenciju loših prehrambenih navika. Stoga je nužno povećati javnozdravstvene programe s ciljem edukacije odraslih o utjecaju prehrane na zdravlje i principima pravilne prehrane, s posebnim naglaskom na mlađe dobne skupine odrasle populacije.
