Transitioning toward sustainable food systems and diets is critical in reducing environmental impact achieving the Sustainable Development Goals established by United Nations General Assembly. This transition requires collaborative efforts across multiple stakeholders, including general public’s knowledge attitudes. To assess attitudes sustainability, we carried out a cross-sectional study among Kuwait University students with total of 278 participants aged ≥18 years (78% women 22% men). A validated questionnaire was used for this study. Most respondents (>70%) recognized concept “local food” “environmental impact.” The “green water-blue water” least (75%). Participants perceived that diet rich vegetables, included plenty fresh products, affordable. (>66%) positive meat its derivatives misconception most common men. Overall, more about concepts showed favorable diet. Women interest changing their current dietary habits sustainability. In conclusion, despite participants’ attitude lack understanding persists, necessitating public health interventions aimed at educating consumers on environment.

Poor dietary patterns among older adults are significantly influenced by socioeconomic status (SES) and food prices, impacting both diet quality choice. This study examines how costs relate to the Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI) assesses role of SES in Iran's elderly population. In this cross-sectional study, 398 individuals from southern Tehran were sampled. Dietary data collected using a validated frequency questionnaire, adherence PHDI was evaluated based on EAT-Lancet guidelines. Food derived Iranian Statistics Center retail prices. Multivariable linear regression analyzed relationship between cost. varied across demographics. Higher observed females (OR = 0.82, 95% CI: 0.71–0.95) those with BMI ≤ 27.5 0.84, 0.73–0.97), while single had higher scores 0.85, 0.74–0.98). tertiles linked lower daily cost, significant decrease highest tertile compared lowest (β − 708,367 Rials, 1,060,371 356,362). However, association not low-income participants. The reveals that is associated reduced costs, key barrier obtaining healthy, balanced adults, may thereby support better health outcomes, including malnutrition prevention functional independence. Future research should focus longitudinal studies develop equitable public strategies promote affordable sustainable practices.

Abstract BACKGROUND The impact of the sustainable EAT‐Lancet planetary health diet on brain and cognitive remains unclear. This study compared with well‐established cognitive‐beneficial Mediterranean (MeDi) in relation to neuroimaging biomarkers performance among older adults. METHODS included 615 dementia‐free 70‐year‐olds from Swedish population‐based Gothenburg H70 Birth Cohort study. Dietary adherence was measured MeDi scores. Neuroimaging measures cortical thickness, hippocampal volume, small vessel disease, deep learning‐derived age. Cognitive assessed a global composite score. RESULTS In multi‐adjusted models, higher associated total mean thicker cortex Alzheimer's disease‐signature regions, while better performance. DISCUSSION results indicate beneficial effects both health. HIGHLIGHTS There were no indications detrimental adhering diet. Adhering cortex. Results confirm links between function.
