Short sleep duration is associated with increased obesity in children especially among younger age groups and boys
Soft drink consumption and mental health problems among adults in Australia
Objective To examine the association between soft drink consumption and mental health problems, including self-reported doctor-diagnosed anxiety, stress-related problem and depression, suicidal ideation and psychological distress, among adults in South Australia. Design Data were collected using a risk factor surveillance system. Each month a representative random sample of South Australians was selected from the Electronic White Pages with inter…
Complex problems require complex solutions
Applying social quality theory allows researchers and policy makers to measure and respond to the multiple sources of oppression and advantage experienced by certain population groups, and to monitor the effectiveness of interventions over time
A Population Study of 5 to 15 Year Olds
To describe the relationship between maternal full time employment and health-related and demographic variables associated with children aged 5-15 years, and the factors associated with child overweight/obesity. Data from a chronic disease and risk factor surveillance system were limited to children aged 5-15 years whose mothers responded on their behalf (n = 641). Univariate/multivariate analyses described the differences between mothers who did…
SP1-66 Chronic disease in specific populations
Introduction The rising prevalence of chronic diseases in Australia is a significant challenge to both healthcare systems and the population. While it is the older population that is, the primary focus of chronic disease prevention programs, other population groups are also significantly affected by these conditions and present a challenge to governments and healthcare professionals alike. Factors that influence the development of chronic disease…

Investigating Australians' Trust
Trust has been identified as an indicator within Social Quality theory. As an important component of social quality, trust has become increasingly important in modern society because literature suggests that trust in a number of democratic countries is declining. Modern technologies and specialties are often beyond the understanding of lay individuals and thus, the need for trusting relations between lay individuals and organizations/individuals …
Vitamin D levels in an Australian population
Vitamin D deficiency is prevalent in South Australia, affecting almost one quarter of the population and levels are related to activity, obesity and season even when adjusted for confounding factors. Improved methods of addressing vitamin D levels in population are required
Feeling angry about current health status
People living with significant health problems are more likely to feel angry about their health. The path between illness and anger is, however, complex. Further research is needed to understand the extent that feeling angry influences the progression of health problems and, if necessary, how to minimise this progression. What also needs examining is whether identifying people who feel angry in the general population could be a predictor of perso…
