title: [Accomplishments of health consciousness on nutrition behavior. results of a representative inquiry].
abstract: Interviews of 1000 probands - representative of the Austrian population - on the subject of health consciousness/nutrition show the following results: --about a quarter (26%) of the population is health-conscious and acts in accordance with this viewpoint --almost half of the Austrians (47%) characterize themselves as being health-conscious, but do not live according to this attitude --the rest of the population, nearly a quarter (22%), has not developed a health-conscious attitude. Health-conscious persons would welcome the introduction of new "more healthy" foods on the market. They would like to have more products of high-fibre foods (60%), skimmed or semi-skimmed milk (56%), low-fat sausages and cheese (51%), special vegetable fat for cooking (50%), drinks with less sugar/alcohol (48%), low fat spread (43%), special margarines (43%) and cheese, sausages and bread with less salt (40%). Persons lacking a health-conscious attitude do not believe that it is essential for such products to be available. They think that similar effects could be reached if probands modified their eating behaviour accordingly more economic nutrition.
