  • Impact of calorie labelling on online takeaway food choices

    Open AccessOana-Adelina Tanasache, Cherry Law et al.ARTICLEAppetite2025Citada por: 1Referencias: 21

    Eating out-of-home is linked to higher calorie intake and body weight, risk factors for obesity, diabetes and other diseases. This study examined whether providing calorie information on online takeaway food menus leads to lower-calorie food choices. A Menu-based Choice Experiment was conducted in November 2022 among 1040 online takeaway consumers in England (Kantar's Worldpanel Out of Home Purchase Panel). Each participant chose their preferred …

  • How states engage in and exercise power in global health

    Open AccessRainer Martens, Johanna Hanefeld et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2023Referencias: 19

    While long overlooked, power is central to understand how actors engage in global health policymaking. We reviewed how the Japanese and Indonesian governments exerted power and engaged in global health diplomacy during negotiations to conceptualize the post-2015 Sustainable Development Goal for health (SDG3). We conducted deliberative policy analysis including semi-structured, in-depth, interviews with more than 71 policymakers, which we analyzed…

  • Like parent, like child

    Open AccessCharlotte O’Leary, Steven Cummin et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2022

    Objective: Most research investigating sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) and health, conducted at the individual or household level, ignores potentially important intra-household dynamics. We analysed self-reported consumption relationships between children and adults, and between children of different ages, as well as the associations between intra-household consumption, BMI and sociodemographic characteristics. Design: A cross-sectional analysis …

  • Have socio-economic inequalities in sugar purchasing widened? A longitudinal analysis of food and beverage consumer data from British households, 2014–2017

    Open AccessN Berger, Steven Cummin et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2021

    Objective: To examine socio-economic inequalities in decreases in household sugar purchasing in Great Britain (GB). Design: Longitudinal, population-based study. Setting: Data were obtained from the GB Kantar Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) panel (2014–2017), a nationally representative panel study of food and beverages bought and brought into the home. We estimated changes in daily sugar purchases by occupational social grade from twenty-three…

  • Reducing consumption of unhealthy foods and beverages through banning price promotions

    Open AccessToby LS Watt, Toby Watt et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2020

    Objective: Increasing prevalence of overweight and obese people in England has led policymakers to consider regulating the use of price promotions on foods high in fat, sugar and salt content. In January 2019, the government opened a consultation programme for a policy proposal that significantly restricts the use of price promotions that can induce consumers to buy higher volumes of unhealthy foods and beverages. These proposed policies are the …

    Koplan et al. (2009) wrote of global health: The need for a commonly used and accepted definition extends beyond semantics...[A] shorthand term...might obscure important differences in philosophy, strategies, and priorities for action...If we do not clearly define what we mean..., we cannot possibly reach agreement about what we are trying to achieve, the approaches we must take, the skills that are needed, and the ways that we should use resourc…

  • Palm oil and dietary change

    Open AccessHenning Tarp Jensen, Marcus R Keogh-Brown et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2019Citada por: 2Referencias: 3

    Palm oil is a cooking oil and food ingredient in widespread use in the global food system. However, as a highly saturated fat, palm oil consumption has been associated with negative effects on cardiovascular health, while large scale oil palm production has been linked to deforestation. We construct an innovative fully integrated Macroeconomic-Environmental-Demographic-health (MED-health) model to undertake integrated health, environmental, and e…

  • The welfare implications of public healthcare financing

    Open AccessJudith Kabajulizi, Marcus R Keogh-Brown et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2017Citada por: 1Referencias: 36

    Studies on global health and development suggest that there is a strong correlation between the burden of disease and a country's level of income. Poorer countries tend to suffer more deaths from preventable causes such as communicable, maternal, perinatal and nutritional conditions, compared with high-income countries. In low-income countries, the government health expenditure share in the general government budget is low and out-of-pocket payme…

  • The Foreign Office, Commerce and British Foreign Policy in the Twentieth Century

    Open AccessRichard D Smith, John Fisher et al.BOOKThe Foreign Office, Commerce and…2016

    This book addresses the interface of the British Foreign Office, foreign policy and commerce in the twentieth century. Two related questions are considered: what did the Foreign Office do to support British commerce, and how did commerce influence British foreign policy? The editors of this work collect a range of case studies that explore the attitude of the Foreign Office towards commerce and trade promotion, against the backdrop of a century o…

  • How much priority is given to nutrition and health in the EU Common Agricultural Policy

    Open AccessHelen Walls, Helen L Walls et al.ARTICLEFood Policy2016Citada por: 2Referencias: 6

    Agriculture in the European Union (EU) is strongly influenced by the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). There have been repeated calls for CAP to address nutrition-related health, particularly obesity and non-communicable disease (NCD) in the EU. However, aligning agricultural policy such as CAP with nutrition is complex, not least because the aims of agricultural policy are predominantly economic, presenting a challenge for developing coherence b…

  • Improving regulatory capacity to manage risks associated with trade agreements

    Open AccessHelen L Walls, Liana Son et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2015

    Modern trade negotiations have delivered a plethora of bilateral and regional preferential trade agreements (PTAs), which involve considerable risk to public health, thus placing demands on governments to strengthen administrative regulatory capacities in regard to the negotiation, implementation and on-going management of PTAs. In terms of risk management, the administrative regulatory capacity requisite for appropriate negotiation of PTAs is di…

  • Use and cumulation of evidence from modelling studies to inform policy on food taxes and subsidies

    Open AccessIan Shemilt, Theresa M Marteau et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Effects estimated by simulation studies of food taxes and subsidies can be expected to diverge in potentially important ways from those that would accrue in practice because these models are simplified, typically static, representations of complex adaptive systems. The level of confidence that can be placed in modelled estimates of effects is correspondingly low, and the level of associated uncertainty is high. Moreover, evidence from food tax-su…

  • The UK response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan

    Richard Smith, Richard D SmithARTICLECambridge Review of International…2013Referencias: 1

    Although not unexpected, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was still largely a shock to the West. It was the first time since the Second World War that the Soviets had directly intervened in a country outside the Warsaw Pact. Despite the intervention eventually being seen as Moscow's ‘Vietnam’ the West was initially unsure about what the invasion meant for stability in the region or the future conduct of East–West relations. In response to the c…

  • How is Telemedicine perceived? A qualitative study of perspectives from the UK and India

    Open AccessMelisa Martinez-Alvarez, Melisa Martínez Álvarez et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2011

    BACKGROUND: Improvements in communication and information technologies have allowed for the globalisation of health services, especially the provision of health services from other countries, such as the use of telemedicine. This has led countries to evaluate their position on whether and to what extent they should open their health systems to trade. This often takes place from the context of multi-lateral trade agreements (under the auspices of …

  • The potential for bi-lateral agreements in medical tourism

    Open AccessMelisa Martinez-Alvarez, Melisa Martínez Álvarez et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2011

    BACKGROUND: Globalisation has prompted countries to evaluate their position on trade in health services. However, this is often done from a multi-lateral, rather than a regional or bi-lateral perspective. In a previous review, we concluded that most of the issues raised could be better addressed from a bi-lateral relationship. We report here the results of a qualitative exercise to assess stakeholders' perceptions on the prospects for such a bi-l…

  • Concepts of Capability and Overlooked Applications

    Paula K Lorgelly, Joanna Coast et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2010Citada por: 1Referencias: 6

    We read with interest the recent paper by Ruger on conceptualizing and operationalizing health capability. She stated that ‘‘No work to date has developed a conceptual model or health capability profile leading to methods for addressing health capability deprivations,’’ and then goes on to develop such a model and profile. We agree that literature in this area is limited but draw readers’ attention to a number of articles from the health economic…
