Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behaviours Concerning the Mediterranean Diet Among Older Adults in Australia.

ABSTRACT: Despite the growing body of evidence demonstrating the positive health effects of the Mediterranean diet, it is not routinely recommended in practice and adherence is low in the general population in Australia. The knowledge-attitude-behaviour model explains how health behaviours are supported through a process of acquiring knowledge, developing attitudes, and forming behaviours. Evidence has suggested that having a high level of nutrition-related knowledge is associated with more positive attitudes, which is directly linked to positive dietary behaviours.

This study explored Mediterranean diet-related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours amo
