According to the KiGGS (The German Health Interview and Examination Survey
for Children and Adolescents) baseline study of 2003–2006, the diet of most
German boys and girls falls far short of the recommendations for an optimized
mixed diet (optimiX®). On average, in terms of food consumption as a proportion
of total energy intake, this group consumes only three quarters of the recommended
amount of positively encouraged foods, and they over-consume “tolerated”
food groups, consuming two and a half times the recommended amount. The triple-
A model identifies neutral factors (especially available income), protective factors
(especially high level of educational attainment), and risk factors (especially a migration
background) affecting nutritional behavior. The results highlight the importance
of setting-oriented promotion of healthy habits on the one hand, and the need
for further research into modeling and analysis strategies on the other hand.
