Role of human environment factors in formation of food habits

Close metadata

OBJECTIVE

To perform an analytical review of international research on the influence of human environmental factors on the formation of dietary habits.

RESULTS

The high density of fast-food restaurants is associated with increased consumption of foods high in saturated fat, added sugar, and salt, as well as with a higher risk of obesity and CVD. Improved access to healthy foods and walking environments are associated with reduced risk of CVDs and premature mortality.

CONCLUSION

Domestic research is needed to assess the density of food courts and their association with the prevalence of risk factors and the health status of the Russian population. The availability of reliable data will stimulate multifaceted cooperation for planning the creation of a health-protecting environment at the municipal level.
