Recommendations for „healthy diet“:

Balanced diet: British Journal of Nutrition, Vol. 92 supplement 2, October 2004 or Dietary Guidelines for Americans: www.helathierus.gov/dietary guidelines or the nutritional pyramid of the US Department of Agriculture: www.mypyramid.gov

EURODIET recommends: “Guidelines should first be developed for individual member states.”

Knowledge of Dietary Habits

European Nutrition and Health Report 2004(Forum of Nutrition, Vol. 58):

Summarising National Nutrition ans Health Reports:

•Too high intake of fat, especially saturated fat•Generally too high intake of alcohol, especially for men•Too high availability of meat and meat products•In some countries low availability of fruits and vegetables•Generally inadequate intake of some vitamins and minirals•Alarming high prevalence of overweight and obesity

European Activities for Harmonisation

EURODIET project (2000):Methodological differences between the European countries in approaches to dietary surveys have a remarkable influence on the results and their comparability.

European projects: Developing standardised method for dietary surves:EFCOSUM (European Food Consumption Survey Method) EFCOVAL (European Food Consumption Validation) Establishing a European nutritional data base:EuroFir-Projekt (European Food Information Resource Network) EUROFOODS-ENFANT (European Network on Food and Nutrition Tables

Goals:

Stopping the further increase of the prevalence of overweight in the population

Balanced Diet:Proper composition of fatty accids in the dietregular fish consumption,adequate fruit and vegetables intake

14BadenweilerNutrition and Physical Activity 26.02.07 B. Kurth

Priority 1: The promotion of healthy diet, which involves a two-pronged approach:

Healthy diet

Promotion of a healthy composition of diet

Reduction of overweight and obesity

The survey was conducted from May 2003 till May 2006 in 167 cities and communities (Sample Points).

Boys and girls aged 0 to 17 years were chosen randomely from population registries.
