This study sought to (i) assess MD adherence among Israeli-born adults aged 50 and older and (ii) explore how Health Belief Model (HBM) constructs (Rosenstock, 1966, 1974) relate to dietary adherence. Method: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in 2022–2024 with a convenience sample of 895 Israeli-born individuals aged  \n50 and above. MD adherence was measured using the Israeli Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (I-MEDAS) (Abu-Saadet al., 2018), and cognitive perceptions were evaluated using the Motivation to Change Lifestyle and Health Behaviors for Dementia Risk Reduction questionnaire (Kim et al., 2014) .  \nResults: The mean MD adherence score was 10.11 (SD = 1 .36) out of 17. Multivariate regression analysis identified perceived barriers (β = -0.301, p \u003C .001), cues to action (β = 0.233, p \u003C .001), and perceived severity (β = 0.191, p \u003C .001) as significant predictors of dietary adherence. Additionally, being female (β = 0.212, p \u003C .001) and having a lower income (β = -0.151, p \u003C .05) were also associated with adherence. The model accounted for 22.4% of the variance in MD adherence [F(5,892) = 15.56, p \u003C .0001] .  \nConclusions: These findings suggest that addressing perceptions of disease severity and perceived barriers, as well as increasing cues to action, may enhance adherence to the MD. Public health interventions should incorporate these insights to promote dietary behavior change in midlife and older adults.","cbCaie7I4GCfizhV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie7I4GCfizhV","pdf",676134,"English","# Abstract\n## Background\n## Method\n## Results\n## Conclusions","[{\"question\":\"What was the primary purpose of this study?\",\"answer\":\"To assess Mediterranean diet adherence among Israeli-born adults aged 50+ and explore how Health Belief Model constructs relate to dietary adherence.\"},{\"question\":\"How was Mediterranean diet adherence measured?\",\"answer\":\"It was measured using the Israeli Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (I-MEDAS).\"},{\"question\":\"Which factors were significant predictors of dietary adherence?\",\"answer\":\"Perceived barriers (negative), cues to action (positive), and perceived severity (positive) were significant predictors; sex and lower income were also associated with adherence.\"}]","HEALTH BELIEFS AND MEDITERRANEAN DIET ADHERENCE: KEY PREDICTORS OF DIETARY BEHAVIOR FOR DEMENTIA PREVENTION | PDF",1790645076]
