Development of information and educational environment that promotes spread of sustainable lifestyle changes through adherence to principles of healthy nutrition

Healthy nutrition is the most important component of the quality of life of the population. Disorders of the nutritional structure lead to the development of alimentary-dependent diseases, including cardiovascular, oncological, diabetes mellitus, obesity, osteoporosis, etc., that are the main causes of premature mortality of the population of economically developed countries, including Russia. This is due, among other things, to the low level of knowledge of the population about the principles of healthy nutrition. In order to eliminate the existing gap in the competence of the population on healthy nutrition, the Centre for Hygienic education of the population of the Russian Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare, Moscow, as a part of the implementation of the federal project ‘Formation of a system of motivation of citizens to a healthy lifestyle, including healthy nutrition and rejection of bad habits' (‘Strengthening the Public Health'), which is a part of the national project ‘Demography', conducts systematic activities aimed at creating and maintaining an information and educational environment.
