Age- and situation-wise eating behavior is very progressive and dynamic, and to measure it using a single parameter is very difficult. Hence, this paper aims to take a broader perspective, such as psychological and socio-cultural aspects, to analyze the eating behavior within different age groups. This analysis with existing literature reveals cohesion between age-related changes and originating eating behaviors, highlighting the importance of psychological factors, such as emotions and people’s thoughts along the life span. In addition, the review fascinates how socio-cultural perspectives, including family kinetics, peer influences, and societal norms and depiction of food, contribute to the embodiment of dietary preferences in various situations? By assimilating various findings from several disciplines, this review not only ameliorates our understanding of age- and situation-wise eating behavior but also determines the necessity for multifaceted interference and the deliberate degree of psychological and socio-cultural aspects for promoting healthy and salubrious dietary habits across the human lifespan.
