Adherence

Higher levels of education and higher socio-economic status (SES) are significantly associated with better nutrition knowledge, while men have poorer knowledge than women.

If you have lower education or income, you may face barriers to accessing clear nutrition information. Focus on learning basic labels: look at the back of the package for total fat, sugar, and fiber, rather than trusting front-of-package marketing claims like 'low-fat' or 'healthy.' Men should actively seek out nutrition information, as studies show they often have less knowledge than women, which can lead to less healthy dietary choices. Targeted education for these groups can help reduce health inequalities.
