Original language description
The nutritional intake during young adulthood supports the maintenance of physical health, impacts risk for future disease, and plays a role in the prevention of excess weight gain. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (2013), Czech Republic ranks as the fattest country in Europe, based on the prevalence of obesity among adults. Around 28.7% of the adult population is considered obese, and this number is projected to rise according with the European Association for the Study of Obesity (EASO) in 2030. Currently young people's health is receiving more attention because of alarming data regarding risk factor such obesity prevalence. Identifying people at greater risk of developing obesity is important for the development of effective public health strategies to prevent and treat excess weight gain and its associated co-morbidities. The presented study was conducted to describe food-preparation behaviors, cooking skills, resources for preparing food, and associations with diet quality among young adults from Mendel University in Brno. Finally, a number of recommendations, according to the results of this study, were formulated to foment new eating habits among the experimental sample.
