This research analyzes the perceptions, determinants and behavioral intentions regarding the consumption of healthy food among individuals aged over 60 years. Data collected through an online questionnaire distributed among the Italian population revealed a strong interest in healthy eating motivated by health benefits and personal well-being. However, some concerns about healthy food still represent barriers, which limit their current consumption. The study provides valuable insights for the development of interventions and communication strategies, acting at different levels (i.e., health-care professionals and food companies) aimed at promoting healthy ageing of population and the overall social well-being.

Abstract

Data collected through an online questionnaire distributed among the Italian population revealed a strong interest in healthy eating motivated by health benefits and personal well-being. However, some concerns about healthy food still represent barriers, which limit their current consumption. The study provides valuable insights for the development of interventions and communication strategies, acting at different levels (i.e., health-care professionals and food companies) aimed at promoting healthy ageing of population and the overall social well-being.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
