Subject: [SDOH] new article on the Determinants of Healthy Eating among 
Low-IncomeCanadians


> Elaine M. Power (2005). The determinants of healthy eating among
> low-income Canadians. Canadian Journal of Public Health, 96(S3), S37-S42.

> Abstract
> This paper draws on four bodies of literature to consider the determinants
> of healthy eating for low-income Canadians: a) the social determinants of
> health; b) socioeconomic gradients in diet; c) food security; and d) the
> sociology of food. Though there is a paucity of data for Canada, it is
> very likely that as in other industrialized countries, there are
> socioeconomic gradients in diet, such that those who are better off
> consume healthier diets than those less well-to-do. The available evidence
> suggests that income affects food intake both directly, and indirectly,
> through the dispositions that come with occupying a particular location in
> social space. Thus, there may be both economic and cultural thresholds for
> some food groups or particular foods in food groups. Understanding these
> thresholds is especially important to address the issues facing those who
> are most vulnerable among those living on low-incomes: the food insecure.
> The literature reviewed suggests that improved nutrition for low-income
> Canadians may be difficult to achieve a) in isolation from other changes
> to improve their lives; b) without improvement in the nutrition of the
> general population of Canadians; and c) without some combination of the
> these two changes. Four major areas of research need were identified: a)
> national data on socioeconomic gradients in diet; b) sociological research
> on the interaction of income and class with other factors affecting food
> practices; c) sociological research on Canadian food norms and cultures;
> and d) research on the costs of healthy eating.

> This article is one of seven articles published in a special supplement to
> the Canadian Journal of Public Health (Volume 96, Supplement 3,
> July/August 2005).  Understanding the Forces That Influence Our Eating 
> Habits: What We Know
> and Need to Know contains a series of articles commissioned by Health 
> Canada that
> summarize the current state of knowledge about individual and collective
> determinants of healthy eating.
