Exploring nutritional content and cost of ready meals in Greek supermarkets
Purpose Ready meals are increasingly available food choices in supermarkets of developed countries. The purpose of this study was to determine the nutritional content and cost of chilled and frozen ready meals in the Greek market and compare vegetarian with meat/fish-based options. Design/methodology/approach Data available from the label of the packaged products including price (Euros), serving size (g), total energy (kcal), protein (g), carbohy…
A Policy‐Driven Scoping Review of the Regulatory and Operational Framework Addressing Obesity in Children in Need in Greece
Multisystem collaboration and actions are needed to tackle childhood obesity, especially in the most vulnerable. This review aimed to describe the regulatory and operational framework associated with four delivery systems (social protection, food, education and health) for obesity prevention in children in need in Greece, and to synthesise related evidence of effectiveness, implementation, barriers and facilitators. The Joanna Briggs Institute (J…
Relative validation of the adapted Mediterranean Diet Score for Adolescents by comparison with nutritional biomarkers and nutrient and food intakes
Objective: To investigate whether adherence to the adapted Mediterranean Diet Score for Adolescents (MDS_A) and the adapted Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for Adolescents (KIDMED_A) is associated with better food/nutrient intakes and nutritional biomarkers. Design: The Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence (HELENA) study is a cross-sectional study aiming to obtain comparable data on a variety of nutritional and health-related …
Dietary sources and sociodemographic and lifestyle factors affecting vitamin D and calcium intakes in European adolescents
Objective To investigate dietary sources of Ca and vitamin D (VitD) intakes, and the associated sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, among European adolescents. Design Linear regression mixed models were used to examine sex-specific associations of Ca and VitD intakes with parental education, family affluence (FAS), physical activity and television (TV) watching while controlling for age, Tanner stage, energy intake and diet quality. Setting T…
Physical activity and sedentary behaviour in European children
Objective To estimate the prevalence of physical activity and sedentary behaviours in European children, and to evaluate the relationship between media availability in personal space and physical activity in relation to total screen time. Design Data from the baseline IDEFICS (Identification and prevention of dietary- and lifestyle-induced health effects in children and infants) cross-sectional survey. Information on hours of television/digital v…
Relative validity of the Children's Eating Habits Questionnaire–food frequency section among young European children
Objective To compare, specifically by age group, proxy-reported food group estimates obtained from the food frequency section of the Children's Eating Habits questionnaire (CEHQ-FFQ) against the estimates of two non-consecutive 24 h dietary recalls (24-HDR). Design Estimates of food group intakes assessed via the forty-three-food-group CEHQ-FFQ were compared with those obtained by a computerized 24-HDR. Agreement on frequencies of intakes (equal …
Parental education and frequency of food consumption in European children
Objective To assess the relationship between parental education level and the consumption frequency of obesity-related foods in European children. Design The analysis was based on data from the cross-sectional baseline survey of a prospective cohort study. The effects of parental education on food consumption were explored using analysis of covariance and logistic regression. Setting Primary schools and pre-schools of selected regions in Italy, E…
Diet–obesity associations in children
Objective Measurement errors in dietary data lead to attenuated estimates of associations between dietary exposures and health outcomes. The present study aimed to compare and evaluate different approaches of handling implausible reports by exemplary analysis of the association between dietary intakes (total energy, soft drinks, fruits/vegetables) and overweight/obesity in children. Design Cross-sectional multicentre study. Setting Kindergartens/…
Evaluation of dietary quality in relation to body composition and socio-economic status in European adolescents
comparison with the group studied in 1998 (13?5 % v. 10 %). Overweight in boys aged 9 years occurred more often in 2008 in comparison with the study of peers in 1998. We did not find significant differences in prevalence of overweight for the remaining analysed boys' age groups. Variation in prevalence of obesity in boys from both the groups analysed were not statistically significant (7?3 % v. 6?2 %). We did not find considerable differences in …
Determinants of vitamin D status in young children
Objective To describe the vitamin D status of Belgian children and examine the influence of non-nutritional determinants, in particular of anthropometric variables. Design Cross-sectional data of Belgian participants of the EU 6th Framework Programme IDEFICS (Identification and Prevention of Dietary- and Lifestyle-Induced Health Effects in Children and Infants) Study. Setting 25-Hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was measured using RIA. Vitamin D status …

Reproducibility and validity of a food frequency questionnaire in assessing dietary intakes of low‐income Caucasian postpartum women living in Sheffield, United Kingdom
The aim of this study was to examine the reproducibility and validity of a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) for assessing dietary intakes of low-income, Caucasian, English-speaking, postpartum women living in Sheffield, United Kingdom. Data was obtained from a cross-sectional sample of the 'Healthy Start' study; a population-based survey of mothers and infants. Participants completed two FFQs at 4 and 8 weeks postpartum. Measu…
Are the benefits of the ‘Healthy Start’ food support scheme sustained at three months postpartum? Results from the Sheffield ‘before and after’ study
Early results examining nutritional behaviour of Caucasian, English-speaking, postpartum women living in Sheffield, who were beneficiaries or eligible for the Welfare Food Scheme (WFS) or the Healthy Start (HS) scheme, suggested significant between-groups differences. The aim of this study was to examine whether differences observed at 4 weeks postpartum were sustained over time. Eighty-six WFS and 64 HS participants were recruited at baseline an…
Validation of a food-frequency questionnaire for use in pregnancy
Objectives As a part of an ongoing project to develop a nutritional screening tool, we evaluated the performance of a semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) in terms of validity in a Sheffield Caucasian pregnant population using two different statistical approaches – the correlation coefficient and the limits of agreement (LOA). The FFQ was designed specifically for pregnant women and previously used in a large-scale study. Design A…
