Household food spending, parental and childhood's diet quality, in financial crisis: a cross-sectional study in Greece

Rena Kosti et al.

Summary: The financial crisis in Greece has led to changes in dietary habits among families, with affected parents and children consuming less fruits, carbohydrate foods, and legumes, while consuming more nutrient-poor/energy-dense foods. The quality of parent's diet decreased but did not affect the preadolescent's diet quality, highlighting the importance of parents in ensuring their children's diet quality. Adjusting healthy food prices and providing food aid to economically disadvantaged households is recommended.
