Abstract

The physiological response to hunger and taste preferences are powerful stimuli influencing Food choices, but the environment combined with the individual’s personal history likely has an equal influence ( 1 ). In a contemporary society representing many cultures and differing demographics, it is important to understand how each of these variables interacts. Health professionals can best address the dietary and nutritional needs of the population when the mediating forces can be identified and accommodated in attempts to promote healthful food choices. This chapter considers the external influences of dietary patterns, nutrition, and health on dietary needs on the basis of cultural experiences associated with environments and ethnicity. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Regional cultural diversity in lifestyle and sociodemographic factors also plays an important role in dietary sugar consumption, which may partly explain the different relations between sugar consumption and disease risk in ethnically diverse populations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
