Sažetak
The Mediterranean diet (MD) that prefers wholegrains is known to be one of the healthiest dietary patterns. Given the health benefits of wholegrain cereals as a rich source of nutrients and phytochemicals, this study examined parental adherence to MD and its association with their adolescents’ cereals intake, in 203 parent- adolescent dyads. Adherence to MD was evaluated using the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for adolescents (13.5±1.2y) and Short Mediterranean Diet Questionnaire for parents (41.53±5.99y). Although the level of the parents’ adherence to MD did not significantly influence the adolescents´ weekly frequency consumption of pasta and rice, adolescents whose parents had higher adherence to MD (44, 3%) more often ate cereals or grains for breakfast (p=0.045) and less frequently, commercially baked goods or pastries (p=0.043). Adolescents of parents who had lower adherence to MD (55.7%) stated that they would eat more whole grain bakery products (p=0.049) and more breakfast cereals (p=0.039) if these foods were more often available at home. Adolescents with parents who had higher adherence to MD stated that they were more often encouraged by their parents to eat whole grain bakery products (p=0.030), compared with their counterparts whose parents had lower adherence to MD. With this study, we revealed that food environment and parental eating behaviour are notable factors that influence adolescents’ dietary intake. Disease prevention health programs should be aimed more at encouraging parents to adopt MD features in their family food environment.
