简要总结
This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of Turkish adults toward food sustainability and assess their adherence to the EAT-Lancet dietary pattern. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 3,446 adults aged 19-65 in Türkiye. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Food Sustainability Knowledge and Attitudes Questionnaire (FSKAQ), and a food frequency questionnaire to calculate EAT-Lancet index scores. Statistical analyses included Kruskal-Wallis tests, chi-square tests, and multinomial logistic regression.
详细描述
Objective:
This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of Turkish adults regarding food sustainability and to assess their level of adherence to the EAT-Lancet dietary pattern, a model developed to promote both human health and environmental sustainability.
Methods:
A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted across Türkiye with a sample of 3,446 individuals aged between 19 and 65 years. Participants were recruited through voluntary participation, and individuals with chronic illnesses, alcohol or substance dependency, or illiteracy were excluded. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire that included demographic variables (e.g., age, gender, marital status, income, physical activity), anthropometric measurements (height and weight), and dietary intake.
Participants' knowledge and attitudes toward food sustainability were assessed using the Food Sustainability Knowledge and Attitudes Questionnaire (FSKAQ), which has been validated in Turkish. This instrument consists of four sub-dimensions addressing different aspects of sustainability knowledge and attitudes but does not yield a total score. Each sub-dimension is evaluated individually.

结局指标
主要结局
Food Sustainability Knowledge and Attitudes Questionnaire
时间窗: Baseline
This scale was designed to assess participants' knowledge and attitudes toward sustainable nutrition and consists of a total of 7 questions (5 related to knowledge and 2 to attitudes). The scale includes four sub-dimensions: Knowledge of Sustainability and Sustainable Nutrition (9 items), Knowledge of Statements Defining a Sustainable Diet (12 items), Knowledge of Planetary Health and Sustainability (10 items), and Attitudes Toward Sustainable Nutrition (2 items). The scale does not yield a total score; only specific sub-dimensions are scored independently. The "Knowledge of Statements Defining a Sustainable Diet" sub-dimension, designed in Likert type, is scored item by item. In the "Knowledge of Planetary Health and Sustainability" dimension, only the second section is scored. In the "Attitudes Toward Sustainable Nutrition" sub-dimension, each of the two items is scored separately. The remaining questions are not scored.
EAT-Lancet Index
时间窗: Baseline
EAT-Lancet Index: The EAT-Lancet Index evaluates adherence to a sustainable and healthy diet through 14 food components, categorized as either "restricted" (e.g., red meat, poultry, eggs, added sugars) or "emphasized" (e.g., fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, fish). Intakes are assessed in grams per day (uncooked weight). Each component is scored from 0 (low adherence) to 3 (high adherence), with a total possible score ranging from 0 to 42. Scores were divided into quartiles (Q1-Q4) to indicate adherence levels. Food frequency questionnaire data were used for calculation.
