Determinants of specific food consumption in the Canary Islands (Spain)

[EN]The consumption of specific functional foods (FF) and some determinants of FF item selection were assessed using a questionnaire administered to 1112 individuals in the Canary Islands (Spain). The results indicated that the highest prevalence was fortified drinks (63.6%; 95%CI: 60.7–66.5). Overall FF consumption prevalence was 80.1% (95%CI: 77–83): single FF item consumption being rare. There were significant inter-group relationships, and some group intakes (milk products, cereals and drinks) were related to age but with no overall relationship between consumption and age. The education level was significantly related to the consumption of cereals, drinks, meat products and condiments (c2 test p ¼ 0.04).
