Abstract(s)
The Chronic Diseases Global Action Plan 2013-2020, from WHO
(2013) [1], denotes the relevance of urgent implementation of strategies
promoting a healthy diet. The Mediterranean Diet (MD), recognized
in 2013 by UNESCO as Humanity Immaterial Cultural Heritage,
is increasingly considered in the literature as a fundamental eating
pattern in the prevention of non-transmittable diseases and with a
positive impact on life quality. Objectives: To understand the adhesion
levels to MD in 230 Portuguese children with ages averaging
10.09 ± 1.32, and also analyse their relation to the perception of
health state (very bad to very good) and life quality (including physical
and psychological health dimensions, self-concept, and relationships
with peers and family).
