Aim: make significant contribution to
reduce burden of nutrition-related diseases
 Understand interplay between barriers and main
drivers of a healthy food choice
• Focus on individual and his/ her family
• Assess dynamic nature of causal factors over time and
during transition into adolescence
• Unique opportunity: follow-up of the IDEFICS cohort (16.000
EU children 2-10 years in 2007) + extension to family
members
 Develop and disseminate strategies to induce
changes towards a healthy behaviour in consumers

Work programme
 To study the impact of biological, socio-behavioural, genetic and
environmental factors on dietary behaviour by comparing subjects
who developed in an unfavourable direction with those who
maintained a healthy diet
 To study brain activation, expression of genes related to food
choice, biological and genetic basis for taste thresholds, role of
sleep, sedentary time, physical activity and built environment in
subgroups with contrasting dietary profiles
 To study the prognostic value of body composition and cardiometabolic markers by linking them to diet and interacting factors
 To derive effective communication strategies to empower EU
consumers to induce favourable behaviour changes

Theme 2 Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and

KBBE.2010.2.1-01: Determinants of food choice and eating habits
Call: FP7-KBBE-2010-4 The objective is to identify the main driving
factors for food choice and eating habits (including genomics and brain
functions). Research will help understanding discrepancies between
actual versus optimal dietary behaviour. It should also develop
strategies to induce behavioural changes and facilitate consumers'
choice for a healthy diet. Cross-cultural and sub-population group
differences and interactions with other life style factors such as
physical activity should also be considered taking, where applicable,
existing longitudinal studies into account. Methods for
communication and dissemination based on the developed strategies
should be set up to reach the consumers, in particular children,
adolescents, and their parents. A cross-disciplinary approach should
be encouraged. Where appropriate, gender issues should be considered.
FP7 Work Programme 2010
Theme 2 Food, Agriculture and Fisheries, and
Biotechnology (29 July 2009)
Funding scheme: Collaborative Project (large-scale integrating project). The
requested European Community contribution shall not exceed EUR
9,000,000.
Expected impact: It is expected that the results will help to better
understand (un-)healthy food choice through identification of
main determinants and triggers and to facilitate a healthy food
choice for European consumers. Methods for a better
communication and dissemination strategy in Europe that will
induce healthier lifestyles in children, adolescents, and adults.
Increased collaboration between different scientific fields and
contribution to the successful achievements of the EU Platform
on Diet, Physical Activity and Health.
Instruments
 Questionnaires (parent + child)
 Social factors, lifestyle, peers + PA
 Food preference, eating behaviour + FFQ
 Medical history
 Kinship
 24-hour dietary recall

Examinations & Assessments
 Physical examination
 Anthropometry + blood pressure
 Bone health: ultrasonometry
 Biological markers
 Blood, saliva + urine
 Add-ons, e.g.
 Sensory taste perception
 Physical environment: moveability (GIS
+ GPS)
 Neuropsychological tests: impulsitvity
