The association between consideration of future consequences and food intake is mediated by food choice motives in a French adult population
Objectives: Consideration of future consequences (CFC) distinguishes individuals who adopt behaviours based on immediate needs and concerns from individuals who consider the future consequences of their behaviours. We aimed to assess the association between CFC and diet, and testing the mediating role of food choice motives on this relationship. Design: Individuals (aged ≥ 18 years) completed the CFC-12 questionnaire in 2014, at least three 24-h …

Demographic and socio-economic shifts partly explain the Martinican nutrition transition
Objective: The Caribbean has seen a dramatic shift in the obesity and chronic disease prevalence over the past decades, suggesting a nutrition transition. Simultaneously, Martinique has faced a demographic transition marked by significant population ageing. We aimed to differentiate the contribution of changes in health status and dietary intakes due to shifts in demographic and socio-economic characteristics (DSEC) from that due to unobserved fa…
Alimentation et nutrition dans les départements et régions d’Outre-mer/Food and nutrition in the French overseas departments and regions
L’état nutritionnel et les comportements alimentaires des populations dans les Outre-mer français constituent des enjeux socioéconomiques et de santé publique spécifiques. Les Drom font en effet face à des prévalences de surpoids, d’obésité et de diabète plus élevées que dans l’Hexagone. Ces territoires connaissent une transition démographique, nutritionnelle et alimentaire aussi rapide que profonde, avec une évolution des modes de vie pouvant co…

Ultra-processed food intake and risk of cardiovascular disease
Socioeconomic inequalities in metabolic syndrome in the French West Indies
Socioeconomic inequalities in MetS prevalence, reflected by education and social assistance benefits, were found. However, diet quality contributed only to socioeconomic inequalities due to education underlining that education may impact health through the ability to generate overall dietary behavior, long-term beneficial. Our work identified subgroups with higher risk of MetS, which is needed when implementing public health measures, particularl…

Development of the Healthy Purchase Index (HPI)
Objective To develop an index to assess the nutritional quality of household food purchases based on food expenditures only. Design A database of monthly food purchases of a convenience sample of low-income households was used to develop the Healthy Purchase Index (HPI). The HPI is the sum of two sub-scores based on expenditure shares of food categories in total household food expenditure: the purchase diversity sub-score and the purchase quality…
Consumption of ultra-processed foods and cancer risk
Contribution of ultra-processed foods in the diet of adults from the French NutriNet-Santé study
Objective Concerns have been raised about the potential health impact of ultra-processed foods (UPF) in the diet. Our objective was to investigate the contribution of UPF in the diet in a large French population and its association with sociodemographic factors and dietary patterns. Design Cross-sectional analysis of dietary data from 74 470 participants in the web-based NutriNet-Santé cohort. UPF were identified in repeated 24 h records and the …
Association between time perspective, food choice motives, and food intake in a general population
Associations between cognitive restraint, history of weight loss diet and organic food consumption in a large population-based sample of adults
Dilemma between health and environmental motives when purchasing animal food products
Individuals reporting dilemmas concerning animal products had specific sociodemographic characteristics and showed higher diet quality overall compared with those having no dilemma. Our data suggest that having environmental concerns is not contradictory with adherence to nutritional guidelines
Dietary intakes and diet quality according to levels of organic food consumption by French adults
Objective We aimed to assess dietary profiles of adults from the NutriNet-Santé cohort according to different levels of organic food consumption using detailed self-reported data on organic food intakes. Design Food intakes were obtained using an organic food frequency questionnaire (Org-FFQ). The participants were ranked into five groups (quintiles, Q) according to the proportion of organic foods in their diet. To determine diet quality, two sco…
Socio-economic indicators are independently associated with intake of animal foods in French adults
Objective The specific role of major socio-economic indicators (education, occupation, income) in influencing consumer choice of animal foods (AF) intake could reveal distinct socio-economic facets, thus enabling elucidation of mechanisms leading to social inequalities in health. We investigated the independent association of each indicator with intake of different AF and their effect modification. Design Cross-sectional study. AF intake was esti…
Influence of sensory, psychological, socioeconomic and lifestyle factors on dietary intake and 5-year weight gain
Socioeconomic indicators are independently associated with nutrient intake in French adults
Prospective association between liking for fat, sweet and salt and obesity risk in French adults
Performance of a five category front-of-pack labelling system – the 5-colour nutrition label – to differentiate nutritional quality of breakfast cereals in France
The 5-CNL adequately discriminates between breakfast cereals. It would therefore be an adequate tool for consumer information on nutritional quality of foods in the French context
Public perception and characteristics related to acceptance of the sugar-sweetened beverage taxation launched in France in 2012
Objective In France, an excise tax on sugar-sweetened beverages was introduced on 1 January 2012. Our objective was to assess perception of this tax as well as the sociodemographic characteristics of its supporters and opponents. Design Cross-sectional study within the Nutrinet-Santé cohort. A sub-sample of 1996 individuals was selected among participants in the Nutrinet-Santé cohort study. Perceptions of the sugar-sweetened beverage tax were ass…

Influence of socio-economic and lifestyle factors on overweight and nutrition-related diseases among Tunisian migrants versus non-migrant Tunisians and French
Our study clearly shows that lifestyle (smoking) and cultural background (alcohol) are involved in the observed protective effect of migration
Influence of acculturation among Tunisian migrants in France and their past/present exposure to the home country on diet and physical activity
Objective To study how dietary patterns and physical activity vary with acculturation and with past and current exposure to socio-cultural norms of the home country among Tunisian migrants. Design A retrospective cohort study was conducted using quota sampling ( n 150) based on age and residence. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated FFQ. Physical activity level and dietary aspects were compared according to length of residence (accultura…
The Nutrinet-Santé Study
Self-administered data collection using internet as a complement to collection of biological data will enable identifying nutrition-related risks and protective factors, thereby more clearly elucidating determinants of nutritional status and their interactions. These are necessary steps for further refining nutritional recommendations aimed at improving the health status of populations
Perception of front-of-pack labels according to social characteristics, nutritional knowledge and food purchasing habits
Objective To identify patterns of perception of front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition labels and to determine social factors, nutritional knowledge and attention to packaging features related to such patterns. Design Cross-sectional. Perception was measured using indicators of understanding and acceptability of three simple FOP labels (the ‘Green Tick’, the logo of the French Nutrition and Health Programme (PNNS logo) and ‘simple traffic lights’ (STL)) a…
