Nutrition knowledge and healthy-eating attitudes: the role of physical activity and lifestyle factors in adults

Attitudes especially belief- and practice-oriented facets tracked physical activity and other lifestyle factors, whereas knowledge did not. Interventions should pair education with motivation, self-regulation, and contextual supports to convert knowledge into healthier eating.
