Impact of fish intake on dyslipidemia likelihood by cooking method: Results from the Hellenic National Nutrition and Health Survey.

Nutritional guidelines emphasize fish consumption due to its reported health benefits, although the potential differential effects based on the cooking method used have not been well investigated. Hypothesizing that fish consumption and preparation method may affect lipid concentrations, we aimed to examine fish consumption per dietary guidelines adherence and assess the association between fish intake and dyslipidemia likelihood in Greek adults. Fish consumers were identified using 24-hour recalls and a validated Food Propensity Questionnaire from 3742 adults (aged ≥19 years, 59.

The Relation between Consumer Perception and Objective Understanding of Front-of-Package Nutrition Labels (FOPNLs); Results from an Online Representative Survey.

Background: This study investigates the efficacy of Front-of-Pack Nutrition Labels (FOPNLs) as a cost-effective tool for improving dietary choices among Greek consumers. The purpose of the study was to investigate Greek customers' preferences and comprehension of commonly used European FOPNL schemes.

Methods: The Hellenic Food Authority and the Agricultural University of Athens performed a representative online survey in March 2022, titled "The Role of Nutritional Labelling in Public Perception and Food Procurement.

Assessing the Level of Knowledge, Implementation Practices, and Use of Digital Applications for the Optimal Adoption of the Nutrition Care Process in Greece.

The level of NCP implementation varies across countries due to differences identified in major components of health systems such as infrastructures, legislation, training, and cultural diversities. Dietitians in Greece receive sufficient training in the implementation of the NCP as part of their main studies; however, the level of awareness and adoption of the NCP model is still quite low, with limited information on the potential barriers. The primary aim of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the perspectives of Greek dietitians on the NCP and the use of digital tools.
