| Abstract: | The purpose of this study was to assess Greek primary (1st to 6th grade) school children’s dietary habits and the factors
influencing them. Our results show that children know the value of different foods. The socio-economic status of father has
no effect on the attitude of children towards choosing their diet, however, mothers’ educational status appears to have an
effect on their children’s behaviour. Place of residence (urban or semi-rural areas) and gender does not influence their knowledge
about different diets. It was, finally, shown that as children grow older they tend to eat less healthy foods. |
