Einflussfaktoren auf das Ernährungsverhalten europäischer Kinder, Jugendlicher und ihrer Eltern (I.Family)

Beschreibung

I.Family - Du bist, was Du isst und wie Du isst

Das I.Family Projekt hat untersucht, wie sich Familien in Europa ernähren und wie dies ihre Gesundheit langfristig beeinflusst. An der Studie beteiligten sich 17 Forschungsinstitute und Unternehmen aus 12 europäischen Ländern. Koordiniert und geleitet wurde die Studie von der Universität Bremen. Beginn des Projektes war im März 2012, Ende im Februar 2017. Die Europäische Kommission hat die groß angelegte Studie im Rahmen des siebten Forschungsrahmenprogramms mit insgesamt 9 Millionen Euro finanziert.

Einflüsse auf das Ernährungsverhalten
Viele Faktoren beeinflussen das Ernährungsverhalten und die Auswahl der Nahrungsmittel. Zeit mit der Familie und Einfluss der Eltern konkurrieren mit einem modernen und unabhängigen Lebensstil. Industriell aufbereitete Lebensmittel, Getränke und Snacks sind immer verfügbar, begleitet vom Marketing der Lebensmittelindustrie und dem Druck durch Gleichaltrige. Zerstreuung am Bildschirm ersetzt körperliche Aktivität. Ergänzt werden all diese Faktoren mit erlernten Geschmackspräferenzen und genetischen Prädispositionen.

Aufbauend auf der IDEFICS Studie (www.idefics.eu) mit über 10.000 teilnehmenden Kindern in Europa ermöglichte I.Family einen tieferen Einblick in die wichtigsten Einflüsse auf den Lebensstil europäischer Kinder in Bezug auf ihre Ernährung. Dazu betrachtete I.Family die aus der IDEFICS Studie bereits erfassten Kinder, die zu Beginn der I.Family-Studie an der Schwelle zur Pubertät standen, sowie ihre Familien. Im Fokus stand der Vergleich von den Familien, die ein gesundes Ernährungsverhalten angenommen hatten mit denjenigen, die ihren bisherigen Lebensstil beibehalten hatten. So hat das Projekt zum Verständnis der biologischen, verhaltensbezogenen, sozialen und umweltbedingten Einflüsse auf das Ernährungsverhalten von Kindern in der Phase des Erwachsenwerdens beigetragen.

Die WHO (World Health Organization) schätzt, dass ernährungsbedingte Erkrankungen für den Verlust von über 56 Millionen der gesunden Lebensjahre (HLY = healthy life years) in der europäischen Bevölkerung verantwortlich sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es für gesundheitspolitische Entscheidungsträger und andere Gesundheitsexperten unerlässlich zu wissen, wie Familien auf dem Weg zu einem gesunden Lebensstil begleitet werden können. Den Familien wird durch die Ergebnisse der I.Family-Studie geholfen, indem grundlegende Erkenntnisse zu einem längeren und gesünderen Leben veranschaulicht werden.
