Barriers to healthy lifestyle behaviours and adherence to physical activity and dietary guidelines by older Australians: A descriptive analysis
2021, Human Nutrition and MetabolismCitation Excerpt :Our study extends previous research and provides a more contemporary and comprehensive assessment of PA and dietary barriers. Some, but not all of the barriers to healthy dietary intake we observed were also identified by Dixon et al. [41], who explored perceptions of dietary recommendations for intake of vegetables and fruit as well as common barriers to increasing consumption among 38 older Australians. They found participants perceptions that vegetables are eaten only with evening meals, believing that recommended quantities were too large, and a lack of preparation time.
Nutritional indicators and health aspects of fruit and vegetable consumption in aged adults
2016, Fruits, Vegetables, and Herbs: Bioactive Foods in Health PromotionTowards greater vegetable consumption: Change the product or change the person? Case studies of two vegetable commodities
2015, Food Research InternationalCitation Excerpt :Each commodity was tested for two specific eating occasions: to purchase for a main meal, and to purchase as a snack. The latter was included to increase the opportunity for eating occasions beyond main meals (Dixon, Mullins, Wakefield, & Hill, 2004). The following attributes and their levels (see Table 1) were varied on the commodities in the main meal context:
Promoting consumption of fruit and vegetables for better health. Have campaigns delivered on the goals?
2014, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :Also, baseline consumption figures are not always apparent or publicly available and therefore, it is unclear whether the gains are starting from a low base or from already reasonable existing levels of consumption. Research reports also highlight the lack of understanding among consumers about what constitutes a serve of fruit or vegetable (Dixon, Mullins, Wakefield, & Hill, 2004), leading to further confounding of results. Furthermore, the methodology applied to assess each of the individual campaigns is not always clearly stated in the published reports.
