    Dietary behaviour

    It is evident that dietary behaviour is one of the groups of health risk


    behaviours that can have a major effect on a person’s health. A diet
    that is poor in nutrition can lead to ailments like diabetes,
    cardiovascular conditions, hypertension, osteoporosis, cancer
    (colorectal, stomach, lung, esophageal and prostate) and even dental
    caries
    Changing dietary behaviour
    The primary strategy to tackle the rise in obesity is to bring about a
    significant change in the dietary behaviour of children and
    adolescents, as well as adults. Behaviours do not occur in isolation
    but are part of a system.
    Several factors play a role in the formation of dietary
    behaviours.

    1-unstable living environments, inadequate family


    2-social support,
    3-insufficient transportation
    4-socioeconomic factors that may be barriers obtaining and
    maintaining a healthy diet
    Interventions to change dietary behaviour
    is a complex process, which includes identifying and prioritising all
    mediating variables, defining the types of change that are needed,
    and then implementing appropriate policies.
