Overview Overweight and obesity are serious public health issues worldwide. Among the possible solutions for reducing overweight, design offers an opportunity to change eating and food environments. Tableware design in particular could be used to tackle the overweight problem. As part of my research on the effects of tableware design on eating habits, I have developed a crinkly plate prototype with the aim of changing eating habits by visually increasing the amount of food on the plate. The prototype has been tested in two experiments with 200 volunteers. The experiments were designed to measure how the form of the plate affects the amount of food being placed on it. Results show that the crinkly plate can create a visual illusion of actual amount of food; however, further research is necessary, for example, testing the crinkly plate with participants in a home-based setting.

餐具设计可以改变饮食习惯并鼓励减轻体重吗？

概述超重和肥胖是全球范围内严重的公共卫生问题。在减轻超重的可能解决方案中，设计为改变饮食和饮食环境提供了机会。特别是餐具设计可用于解决超重问题。作为我对餐具设计对饮食习惯影响的研究的一部分，我开发了一种皱纹盘子原型，旨在通过视觉上增加盘子上的食物量来改变饮食习惯。该原型已在200名志愿者的两次实验中进行了测试。设计这些实验是为了测量盘子的形状如何影响放置在盘子上的食物量。结果表明，起皱的盘子可以对实际食物量产生视觉上的错觉。但是，例如，还需要进一步的研究，
