  3. Dietary Habits and Health What do we know?

  4. Evidence for relationships between nutrients and several chronic diseases (adapted from RIVM 2004, WHO 2003)

  5. Evidence for relationships between foods and several chronic diseases (adapted from RIVM 2004, WHO 2003)

  6. 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

  10. 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

  11. National Activities Nutritional Report of the Netherlands

  12. Our food, our healthHealthy diet and safe food in the Netherlands (2006)

  13. Our food, our healthHealthy diet and safe food in the Netherlands (2006) Goals: Stopping the further increase of the prevalence of overweight in the population Balanced Diet: Proper composition of fatty accids in the diet regular fish consumption, adequate fruit and vegetables intake

  14. Priority 1: The promotion of healthy diet, which involves a two-pronged approach: Reduction of overweight and obesity Healthy diet Promotion of a healthy composition of diet

  31. (KiGGS): Prevalence of overweight by age groups 10% Strong increase in primary school age, afterwards only a slight further increase.

  39. European Health Interview Survey • In case that recommended indicators will be integrated • the comparability of food patterns will be achieved. • Result: • Setting European Priorities • European recommendations for balanced Diet • European activities for healthy diet • and…..
