Abstract
Measuring nutrition literacy should be an important tool to improve nutrition literacy and subsequently dietary behaviour at the population level, but also to identify individuals with limited nutrition literacy with the potential to define personalised interventions. In addition, a nutrition literacy assessment tool may allow standardisation of scientific outcomes of population-based nutritional behaviour intervention programmes.
However, no such tool currently exists in the Czech Republic. This paper summarizes the existing tools for assessing nutrition or food literacy from abroad and introduces the intention to develop a suitable tool applicable to the Czech Republic.
