Investigating the factors associated with preterm birth using evidence from the Growing Up in New Zealand cohort: A retrospective geospatial study
Adherence to recommended food groups (breads and cereals), junk dietary patterns, low iron supplement intake after the first trimester, and rural residence with moderate urban influence were associated with increased PTB odds. Addressing maternal nutrition and geographic disparities could help mitigate this risk
Food neophobia scores at 8 Years and associations with nutrition-related behaviors at home in early life: Findings from a New Zealand contemporary birth cohort
Food neophobia (FN) reduces nutritional adequacy and variety which poses a significant concern for children's health and well-being We described the FN scores among 8-year-olds and examined its associations with nutrition-related behaviors at 45 months within the Growing Up in New Zealand cohort (n = 4621). FN was estimated using the Food Neophobia Scale (FNS). Mean FNS scores between variable categories were compared using t-tests for independen…
Let's talk about diet—Nutrition skills in medical education
Doctors are recommended to support patients to improve their dietary behaviours to help reduce the prevalence of lifestyle chronic disease. The findings from a recent systematic review which investigated medical nutrition education throughout the world found that it was insufficiently incorporated into medical education, regardless of country, setting or year of medical education.1 Innovative and effective ways to increase students' nutrition kno…
Child feeding indexes measuring adherence to New Zealand nutrition guidelines: Development and assessment
New Zealand (NZ) lacks nationally representative or generalisable information on the dietary intakes of pre‐schoolers. We used Growing Up in New Zealand cohort data to i) develop child feeding indexes (CFIs) based on National Food and Nutrition Guidelines for 2‐ and 4.5‐year‐olds; ii) describe the cohort adherence to the guidelines at 2 ( n = 6046) and 4.5 years ( n = 5889) and; iii) assess the CFIs’ convergent construct validity, by exploring as…
Stepwise tailoring and test–retest of reproducibility of an ethnic-specific FFQ to estimate nutrient intakes for South Asians in New Zealand
Objective: To develop and test–retest the reproducibility of an ethnic-specific FFQ to estimate nutrient intakes for South Asians (SA) in New Zealand (NZ). Design: Using culturally appropriate methods, the NZFFQ, a validated dietary assessment tool for NZ adults, was modified to include SA food items by analysing foods consumed by SA participants of the Adult Nutrition Survey, in-person audit of ethnic food stores and a web scan of ethnic food st…
Māori first foods: A Māori centred approach to understanding infant complementary feeding practices within Māori whānau
This study sought to explore infant complementary feeding practices among Māori whānau and the extent to which they may be informed by traditional and culturally specific practices, knowledge, personal beliefs and values. This study also endeavoured to explore how these practices, values and beliefs may have changed across time and between generations. Māori‐centred qualitative methods were used within a theoretical framework of Kaupapa Māori and…
The Father I Knew: Early Paternal Engagement Moderates the Long-term Relationship between Paternal Accessibility and Childhood Behavioral Difficulties
The long-term impact of a father's involvement in offspring development is understudied. The current study investigated the relations between early paternal engagement (i.e., the amount of time fathers engaged in one-to-one activity with their child), paternal accessibility (i.e., fathers' physical proximity to their children) and later child behavioral difficulties. Data were obtained from five phases of the Auckland Birthweight Collaborative (A…
Effects of folic acid food fortification scenarios on the folate intake of a multi-ethnic pregnant population
Objective To simulate effects of different scenarios of folic acid fortification of food on dietary folate equivalents (DFE) intake in an ethnically diverse sample of pregnant women. Design A forty-four-item FFQ was used to evaluate dietary intake of the population. DFE intakes were estimated for different scenarios of food fortification with folic acid: (i) voluntary fortification; (ii) increased voluntary fortification; (iii) simulated bread ma…
Agreement between Future Parents on Infant Feeding Intentions and Its Association with Breastfeeding Duration: Results from the Growing Up in New Zealand Cohort Study
Maternal intentions are believed to have the strongest influence on infant feeding. However, what has rarely been studied, are the associations of maternal and partner intentions, and the influence these factors have on infant feeding. Our objective was to describe breastfeeding intentions of pregnant women and their partners, agreement about these intentions, and whether this agreement is associated with breastfeeding initiation and duration. Th…
