Changes in UK price disparities between healthy and less healthy foods over 10 years
Food prices and affordability play an important role in influencing dietary choices, which in turn have implications for public health. With inflationary increases in the cost-of-living in the UK since 2021, understanding the dynamics of food prices becomes increasingly important. In this longitudinal study, we aimed to examine changes in food prices from 2013 to 2023 by food group and by food healthiness. We established a dataset spanning the ye…
Adiposity and the role of diverse social supports
Objective: To quantify associations between four types of social support and measured adiposity among women and men. Design: The cross-sectional sample from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA, 2012–2015). Height, weight and waist circumference (WC) were clinically measured, and perceived availability of informational, tangible, emotional and belonging social supports was self-reported. Setting: Canada. Participants: 28 779 adults aged…
Plant-based dietary practices in Canada
Objective: While plant-based dietary practices (PBDPs) have been recommended to improve both population health and environmental sustainability outcomes, no nationally representative Canadian studies have described the prevalence or correlates of excluding animal source foods. The current study therefore: (1) created operationalised definitions of PBDPs based on animal source food exclusions to estimate the prevalence of Canadians who adhere to P…
Chronic sleep deprivation and gender-specific risk of depression in adolescents
Results suggested that chronic sleep deprivation increases the risk of major depression among young women. Mental health promotion for young people should include relevant strategies to ensure young women can achieve recommended amounts of sleep
Economic policy and the double burden of malnutrition
Objective To examine changes in minimum wage associated with changes in women’s weight status. Design Longitudinal study of legislated minimum wage levels (per month, purchasing power parity-adjusted, 2011 constant US dollar values) linked to anthropometric and sociodemographic data from multiple Demographic and Health Surveys (2000–2014). Separate multilevel models estimated associations of a $10 increase in monthly minimum wage with the rate of…
Marital transitions and associated changes in fruit and vegetable intake
Unhealthy changes to diet accompanying divorce, separation and becoming widowed may be more common among men than women. Moreover, deterioration in fruit and vegetable intakes was more apparent for variety rather than quantity consumed. Programmes to promote healthy eating among older adults need to recognise these social determinants of diet and consider prioritising people who live alone and in particular men who have recently left relationship…
What is the evidence base for public involvement in health‐care policy
BACKGROUND: Public involvement in health-care policy has been advocated as a means to enhance health system responsiveness, yet evidence for its impact has been difficult to ascertain. OBJECTIVES: To review the peer-reviewed empirical evidence on outcomes of public involvement in health-care policy. METHODS: We systematically searched PsychINFO and PubMed from November 2000 to April 2010 for empirical studies that reported on original research on…
Gender and the double burden of economic and social disadvantages on healthy eating
A double burden of low economic resources and lack of social relationships suggested they are unique joint determinants, particularly in older men, and that public health efforts to improve healthy eating would offer most benefit to older adults with intersecting economic and social disadvantages
Emprunts transnationaux et constitution du Musée de l’Homme
Dans l’entre-deux-guerres, la plupart des grands musées d’ethnographie occidentaux furent rénovés et restructurés, grâce à une volonté nouvelle d’instruire le grand public sur les régions lointaines du monde. Ces musées avaient été créés à la fin du xixe siècle, au moment où la conquête impériale, les fiertés nationales et la professionnalisation de l’anthropologie encourageaient la collecte scientifique des artéfacts des sociétés dites « primiti…
Social relationships and healthful dietary behaviour
Social relationships are an important aspect of a person's social environment that can protect against a wide range of chronic conditions and facilitate recovery from disease. Social relationships have also been linked to dietary behaviour which may be an important pathway through which social circumstances exert their influence on health. Yet, questions remain about which structural aspects of social relationships most affect healthful dietary b…
Socioeconomic status, financial hardship and measured obesity in older adults
Obesity in British over-50s was more likely in study participants who reported greater financial hardship, even after education, social class and home ownership were taken into account. Public health policies need to consider the hitherto neglected role of financial hardship in older people, especially difficulty paying bills, as part of strategies to prevent or reduce obesity
Is Europe putting theory into practice? A study of the level of Self-Management Support in coordinated care approaches for chronically ill
Objectives: This study explores whether and how self-management support (SMS), a key element of well-coordinated chronic care, is integrated into existing chronic care approaches in 13 European countries
OP78 The Role of Social Relationships in Understanding Healthful Dietary Behaviours
Background Social relationships are an integral aspect of a person’s social environment that may offer protection against chronic conditions and may facilitate recovery from disease. Social relationships have also been linked to dietary behaviour which may be an important pathway through which social circumstances impact health. Yet, questions remain about which aspects of social ties most influence healthful dietary behaviours among women and me…
PL02 An Analysis of the Changing Prices of Unhealthy and Healthier Foods
Background The public health importance of monitoring the affordability of a nutritious diet has been highlighted by the UK Department for Food, Environment and Rural Affairs. The economic and health-related aspects of food and diet are currently tracked by separate government agencies. Here we demonstrate how linking routine economic and health data can facilitate the study of food prices in relation to nutrition and investigate food price trend…
Barriers and facilitators to integrating care
Many barriers and facilitators to integrating care are those of any large-scale organisational change. These include issues relating to leadership, organisational culture, information technology, physician involvement, and availability of resources. However, activities which appear particularly important for delivering integrated care include personal relationships between leaders in different organisations, the scale of planned activities, gover…
Case management for at-risk elderly patients in the English integrated care pilots
Case management may result in improvements in some aspects of care and has the potential to reduce secondary care costs. However, to improve patient experience, case management approaches need to be introduced in a way which respects patients' wishes, for example the ability to see a familiar doctor or nurse
