Trends in Food Habits and Their Relation to Socioeconomic Status among Nordic Adolescents 2001/2002-2009/2010
2016
BACKGROUND: In the Nordic countries, substantial policy and intervention efforts have been made to increase adolescents' consumption of fruit and vegetables and to reduce their intake of sweets and soft drinks. Some initiatives have been formulated in a Nordic collaboration and implemented at national level. In recent years, social inequalities in food habits have been attracted particular governmental interest and several initiatives addressing the socioeconomic gradient in food habits have been highlighted. However, few internationally published studies have evaluated how trends in adolescents' food habits develop in the context of Nordic nutrition policy, or have compared differences bet…
Predicting limiting 'free sugar' consumption using an integrated model of health behavior.
2020
Excess intake of ‘free sugars’ is a key predictor of chronic disease, obesity, and dental ill health. Given the importance of determining modifiable predictors of free sugar-related dietary behaviors, we applied the integrated behavior change model to predict free sugar limiting behaviors. The model includes constructs representing ‘reasoned’ or deliberative processes that lead to action (e.g., social cognition constructs, intentions), and constructs representing ‘non-conscious’ or implicit processes (e.g., implicit attitudes, behavioral automaticity) as predictors of behavior. Undergraduate students (N = 205) completed measures of autonomous and controlled motivation, the theory of planned…
Development of a Food-Based Diet Quality Score from a Short FFQ and Associations with Obesity Measures, Eating Styles and Nutrient Intakes in Finnish…
2019
We constructed a food-based diet quality score (DQS) and examined its association with obesity measures, eating styles and nutrient intakes. Participants were 3592 individuals (764 dizygotic [DZ] and 430 monozygotic [MZ] twin pairs) from the FinnTwin16 study. The DQS (0&ndash
Brief remote intervention to manage food cravings and emotions during the Covid-19 pandemic: a pilot study
2022
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic people have endured potentially stressful challenges which have influenced behaviors such as eating. This pilot study examined the effectiveness of two brief interventions aimed to help individuals deal with food cravings and associated emotional experiences. Participants were 165 individuals residing in United Kingdom, Finland, Philippines, Spain, Italy, Brazil, North America, South Korea, and China. The study was implemented remotely, thus without any contact with researchers, and involved two groups. Group one participants were requested to use daily diaries for seven consecutive days to assess the frequency of experience of their food cravings, frequ…
The associations between adolescents’ sports club participation and dietary habits
2021
For adolescent athletes, data on nutrition behaviours are limited. The present study aimed to evaluate the dietary habits of adolescent sports club participants (SPs) compared with those of non‐participants (NPs). The cross‐sectional study of 1917 adolescents aged 14–16 was based on data from the Finnish Health Promoting Sports Club (FHPSC) study. The health behaviour surveys were conducted among SPs (n=1093) and NPs (n=824). Logistic regression was used to test statistical significance of the differences in dietary habits between SPs and NPs. SPs were more likely than NPs to eat breakfast on weekends [89% vs. 79%, odds ratio (OR) 1.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.07–2.01] and to report …
Sleep-time physiological recovery is associated with eating habits in distressed working-age Finns with overweight: secondary analysis of a randomise…
2021
Background Association of physiological recovery with nutrition has scarcely been studied. We investigated whether physiological recovery during sleep relates to eating habits, i.e., eating behaviour and diet quality. Methods Cross-sectional baseline analysis of psychologically distressed adults with overweight (N = 252) participating in a lifestyle intervention study in three Finnish cities. Recovery measures were based on sleep-time heart rate variability (HRV) measured for 3 consecutive nights. Measures derived from HRV were 1) RMSSD (Root Mean Square of the Successive Differences) indicating the parasympathetic activation of the autonomic nervous system and 2) Stress Balance (SB) indica…
"Ku talvella ei paista aurinko ni pittää syyä salaattia ni siitä saa vitamiineja": 5. ja 9. luokkalaisten ruokatottumukset, ruokavalinnat ja tiedonlä…

Koljonen, Eveliina. 2016. ”Ku talvella ei paista aurinko ni pittää syyä salaattia ni siitä saa vitamiineja”. 5. ja 9. luokkalaisten ruokatottumukset, ruokavalinnat ja tiedonlähteet. Kasvatustieteen ja terveystiedon pro gradu -tutkielma. Jyväskylän yliopisto. Kasvatustieteiden laitos. Terveystieteiden laitos. 109 sivua. Tämä tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli kuvata yleisesti nuorten ruokatottumuksia sekä vertailla 5. ja 9. luokkalaisten sekä tyttöjen ja poikien välisiä eroja. Lisäksi tutkimus pyrki selvittämään, millaisia asioita nuoret kokevat merkityksellisiksi ruokavalinnoissaan, mitä lähteitä nuoret käyttävät etsiessään tietoa ravitsemuksesta sekä pitävätkö he käyttämiään lähteitä luotettavi…
The effects of an 8-year individualised lifestyle intervention on food consumption and nutrient intake from childhood to adolescence: the PANIC Study.
2021
Abstract We aimed to investigate the effects of a long-term, individualised, family-based lifestyle intervention on food consumption and nutrient intake from childhood to adolescence. We conducted an 8-year diet and physical activity intervention study in a population sample of children aged 7–9 years at baseline in 2007–2009. We allocated the participants to the intervention group (n 306) and the control group (n 198). We assessed diet by 4-d food records at baseline, 2-year follow-up and 8-year follow-up. We analysed the data using linear mixed-effects models adjusted for age at baseline and sex. The consumption of vegetables and vegetable oil-based spreads (fat ≥60 %) increased in the in…
Behavioral and psychological flexibility in eating regulation among overweight adults
2016
Weight-loss programs are often based on self-control techniques and they commonly fail in long-term weight management. Identifying psychological processes that explain eating behaviors can help to develop more effective interventions for long-term weight management. This research examined how behavioral and psychological flexibility are related to eating regulation and weight management in overweight adults. The first goal was to study the effects of flexible vs. rigid restraint of eating on weight-loss maintenance and well-being. The second goal was to examine whether psychological flexibility and mindfulness, independently and together, explain intuitive eating regulation. The third goal …
Lapsiperheiden kasvisten kulutus äitien kuvaamana
2011
Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää miten lapsiperheiden äidit kuvaavat omaa ja perheensä kasvisten kulutusta ja siihen liittyviä esteitä ja edistäviä tekijöitä. Tutkimusaineisto koostui haastatteluista, jotka toteutin keväällä 2010. Haastateltavina tutkimuksessa oli päiväkoti-ikäisten lasten äitejä (n= 10), jotka tavoitin erään Espoon kaupunginosan päiväkodin kautta. Aineistonkeruussa noudatin teemahaastattelun periaatteita ja aineiston analyysin tein aineistolähtöisen sisällönanalyysin avulla. Analyysin tarkoituksena oli luoda kokonaiskuvaa siitä, miten haastatellut äidit kuvasivat heidän omaa, muiden perheenjäsenten sekä yleisesti koko perheen kasvisten kulutusta. Haastateltujen äiti…
