Summary

The socioeconomic gradient in health is well known and is partially explained by differences in health-related behaviours across socioeconomic groups. There is reason to believe that the current economic crisis has been contributing to the observed rapid decrease in the adherence to the Mediterranean diet, thus reducing a protective factor against the development of major chronic diseases. This project aims at investigating whether the economic crisis could account for the shifting from the Mediterranean diet. Additionally, it will address variations in inflammation biomarkers (possibly dietary-related) or metabolic phenotypes as useful biological accounts for the decline in the adherence to Mediterranean diet. This project will also test whether for economically weakest people cultural resources could somehow attenuate the impact of material circumstances on lifestyle changes attributable to the economic crisis.
