Funded Activity Summary

Socioeconomic inequality and diet: a multilevel study of why socioeconomic groups differ in their food purchasing behaviours. Socioeconomically disadvantaged groups experience higher mortality and morbidity rates for many chronic diseases (e.g. heart disease and type 2 diabetes). Dietary quality, and factors affecting this such as food purchasing choice, play a key role in the onset and progression of these types of diseases, and the lower quality diets of families from disadvantaged backgrounds contribute to their poorer health. This Project will determine why socioeconomic groups differ in their food purchasing behaviours, by examining the influence of environmental and individual-level factors. Project findings will increase our understanding about socioeconomic differences in diet, and inform public policy, health policy, and health promotion.
