2021
Castronuovo, Luciana | Guarnieri, Leila | Tiscornia, María Victoria | Allemandi, Lorena
The paper reviews current literature regarding gender differences in food marketing design and perception among children and adolescents towards evidence-based policy dialogues that will address gender-based health disparities in non-communicable diseases (NCD) prevention. Evidence suggests that food marketing has a similar impact on the consumption of unhealthy foods on boys and girls, but boys were found to be exposed to food advertising more intensively, with their preferences more affected. This coincides with male-dominant advertising content. An integrated gender perspective is needed to develop effective policies to control food marketing and tackle the childhood overweight and obesity pandemic.
