除了知识或个人动机等个人因素外，环境也会影响一个人的饮食行为。食物环境可以被描述为影响人们食物选择和营养状况的集体物质、经济、政策和社会文化环境、机会和条件。为了探讨德国农村老年人如何感知和处理他们的食物环境，我们对35名老年人（71±7岁）进行了半结构化的面对面访谈，询问微观、中观和宏观层面对饮食习惯的影响。参与者报告说，社会因素对塑造他们的饮食至关重要，比如家庭成员的偏好或与角色（客人、主人）相关的社会期望。在物理层面上，结构方面和附近环境的资源影响了购物和饮食行为（例如，进入自己的菜园、当地购物设施和餐馆）。食品行业等宏观层面的影响几乎没有被提及。与会者注意到环境影响他们的饮食，但采用适应和行为改变的策略来处理不良影响，而不是挑战环境影响。公共卫生项目应提高人们对环境对饮食行为的多重影响的认识，并帮助人们创造更健康的食物环境。
Apart from individual factors like knowledge or personal motivation, the environment also influences a person’s eating behaviour. Food environments can be described as the collective physical, economic, policy and sociocultural surroundings, opportunities and conditions that influence people’s food choices and nutritional status. In order to explore how older citizens in rural Germany perceive and handle their food environment, we conducted semi-structured face-to-face interviews with 35 older adults (71 ± 7 years), asking about micro-, meso- and macro-level influences on eating habits. Participants reported social factors to be crucial in shaping their diets, such as preferences of family members or social expectations connected to roles (guest, host). On a physical level, structural aspects and resources in their nearby surroundings influenced shopping and eating behaviour (for example access to an own vegetable garden, local shopping facilities and restaurants). Macro-level influences such as the food industry were hardly mentioned. Participants noticed that the environment affects their diets but dealt with undesired influences using strategies of adaptation and behaviour change, rather than challenging the environmental influences. Public health projects should raise the awareness of the multiple environmental influences on eating behaviour and also help people to create healthier food environments.
