  • Enhancing iodine health awareness among adolescents

    Open AccessBeth Christensen, Bodil Just Christensen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026

    Mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency remains a public health challenge, particularly in Europe and in areas where access to iodine-rich foods or iodised salt is limited. Adolescents are a key target group for interventions, as early awareness can reduce the risk of iodine deficiency during future pregnancies. The EUthyroid2 project aims to raise iodine awareness among adolescents (aged 13–17y) to improve their iodine awareness and possibly iodine i…

  • An evaluation of the effects of universal free school meals on secondary school-aged pupils’ dietary intakes in England

    Open AccessSuzanne Spence, John N S Matthews et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Although we found almost no lunch-type and intervention/control interaction effects on mean change in pupils' dietary intakes, inferences about dietary effectiveness require careful consideration. Reasons include only a small number of pupils took up the UFSM offer, there may be a delay between implementation and take-up, and we do not know how the offer of UFSM was communicated to parents and/or pupils. This study highlights a need for better un…

  • Individual variations in eating rate and oral processing behaviours and their association with energy intake and appetite in older adults (≥ 65 years old)

    Open AccessDimitra Zannidi, Lisa Methven et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 52

    Oral processing behaviours (OPBs) have been repeatedly associated with energy intake and appetite in younger adults; however, in older adults, these associations remain poorly understood. Older adults often experience ageing-related physiological decline, which can affect food oral manipulation and intake. This study investigated individual variations in OPBs and their association with energy intake and appetite in healthy older adults. Eighty-ei…
