Guiné, Raquel; Correia, Paula; Ferreira, Manuela; Duarte, João; Cardoso, Ana Paula; Bartkiene, E.; Lele, v.; Starkute, v.; Juodeikiene, G.; Adomaitiene, V.; Steibliene, V.; Zadeike, D.; Szűcs, V.; Hámori, J.; Bizjak, M. C.; Stubelj, M.; Klava, D.; Straumite, E.; Kruma, Z.; Tarcea, M.; Fazakas, Z.; Buicu, F.; Ruta, F.; Rus, V.This is an original research work that is a part of the EATMOT project, which aims to study the eating motivations of different nature in a set of countries all over the world. In this work will be presented some results of the project, regarding three major areas: perceptions about healthy eating, sources of information about healthy diet and healthy motivations for food choice. This is a longitudinal observational study carried out on a non- probabilistic sample with 4870 participants residing in 6 European countries: Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania and Slovenia. Analysis of the data was performed using descriptive statistics and t-test for independent samples or ANOVA with Post-Hoc Tukey HSD, depending on the case. The results obtained allowed concluding that most of the participants have some knowledge about what a healthy diet entails, but still one third did not manifest an opinion for the questions related to healthy eating. Regarding the sources of information about healthy eating, internet was the source more frequently used by a significant part of the participants, while hospitals and health centres were quite irrelevant. This raises some concerns because the internet mighht not always be a reliable source of information. Finally, it was found that the health factors were more influential for the food choices in older people, females, widowed, retired and people working or studying in the area of nutrition.
