Promoting Healthy Eating Habits: an investigation of the link between healthy eating and school canteens

儿童肥胖症的发病率越来越受到全国的关注。媒体对这一问题及其作为国家研究优先事项的地位给予了相当大的关注，这就证明了这一点。虽然人们一直关注儿童肥胖和体育活动之间的联系，但对肥胖和营养之间的联系的研究较少。这项研究项目旨在调查健康饮食与学校食堂设计和管理之间的联系，以期制定出将影响澳大利亚儿童终身饮食习惯的设计和管理指南。

The incidence of childhood obesity is of growing national concern. This is evidenced by the considerable media attention given to the problem and its place as a national research priority. While there has been a focus on the link between childhood obesity and physical activity, less research has been undertaken into the link between obesity and nutrition. This research project aims to investigate the link between healthy eating and the design and management of school canteens with the view to developing design and management guidelines that will influence the life-long eating habits of Australian children.
