Food Service Professionals' Perspectives on the Barriers and Facilitators to the Implementation of Nutrition Standards for School Food
BACKGROUND: Internationally, nutrition standards for school food have been implemented. Food service professionals are key to their implementation. This mixed-methods systematic review provides an overview of the barriers and facilitators faced by food service professionals when implementing food/nutrition standards and provides an important link between policy and practice. METHODS: Peer-reviewed and grey literature were searched across electron…
Analysis of food policymaking through a food systems lens
Objective: This paper aims to summarise the frameworks currently used to analyse food policymaking processes and to critically assess whether those frameworks can be applied to the analysis of integrated, ‘systems’ approaches to policymaking. Design: Two electronic databases were searched to identify publications analysing food policymaking processes. Data from the publications were charted using an iterative coding process, and details of the un…
Using co-design to develop the Adolescent Health Literacy Questionnaire for adolescents in Ireland
Health literacy measurement studies are important for the success of health promotion efforts targeting adolescents. However, the majority of health literacy measurement tools were originally developed for adult populations and may not be reflective of health literacy in the context of adolescence. The present study sought to co-design a health literacy questionnaire and vignettes for adolescents in Ireland aged 12–18 years. This article describe…
The association between alcohol intake and obesity in a sample of the Irish adult population, a cross-sectional study
Background Obesity epidemic is one of the most serious public health challenges of the twenty-first century. Alcohol has been studied as a possible risk factor for obesity, but the evidence is discordant. This study examined the association between alcohol consumption and obesity in a sample of the Irish adult population. Method An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted using secondary data from the 2017 Healthy Ireland Survey. The primar…
Parental influences on children’s dairy products consumption
Objective: To review research on the influence of parent-related factors on children’s dairy products consumption. Design: A search of electronic databases and a narrative synthesis of the literature were conducted. English-language articles were included if they reported data relating to parental influences on children’s consumption of dairy products and if statistical significance was reported. Setting: Studies were carried out in the USA ( n 8…
A qualitative study exploring the perceptions of health among pre‐teen girls from disadvantaged communities in Dublin
There are disparities in health outcomes between youth from higher and lower socioeconomic backgrounds, and girls are especially vulnerable to changes in health‐related behaviours as they develop. Therefore, this study explored how girls from disadvantaged communities in Dublin, Ireland, make sense of ‘being healthy.’ A phenomenological qualitative design was implemented. Three focus groups were conducted ( n = 22, 10–12 years) and data were anal…
Using Co-Design to Develop a Health Literacy Intervention with Socially Disadvantaged Adolescents
The aim of this study was to initiate a co-design process with adolescents to inform the development of a targeted health literacy intervention for implementation in designated socioeconomically disadvantaged post-primary schools in Ireland. Purposely developed vignettes were explored in a series of eight workshops that were conducted separately with staff ( n = 26) and students ( n = 33) across four schools. Data was analysed using content analy…
Determinants of vegetable intake among urban socio-economically disadvantaged adolescents
Objective: To investigate the determinants of vegetable intake in urban socio-economically disadvantaged adolescents to inform the development of an intervention programme. Design: A narrative systematic review was carried out by searching five electronic databases from 2013 to 2020. The descriptors used for the search strategy were vegetable intake, adolescents, determinants and correlates. Inclusion criteria were including a sample of socio-eco…
Understanding disadvantaged adolescents’ perception of health literacy through a systematic development of peer vignettes
As guided by the Ophelia framework, the use of authentic, interactive and participatory research methods, such as the co-creation of vignettes, is particularly important in groups that are underserved by traditional research methods. The approach used in this study could be adapted to other contexts to represent and understand stakeholders' perceptions of health, with a view to explore, and ultimately improve, health literacy
Teachers’ perspectives on the barriers to healthy lifestyle behaviors among adolescent girls of disadvantaged backgrounds in Ireland
Though adolescence is a particularly sensitive period regarding the development of long-lasting health-related attitudes and behaviors, little research has examined the factors which influence their engagement in such behaviors. Adolescent females are particularly sensitive to suffer from overweight and obesity. It is also a time that can impact the health patterns of future generations due to the influence of preconception maternal factors on th…
Advancing the evidence base for public policies impacting on dietary behaviour, physical activity and sedentary behaviour in Europe
28 research institutes have joined in the Policy Evaluation Network (PEN). • PEN studies EU policies on diet, physical activity and sedentary behaviours. • PEN advances knowledge on impact and effective implementation of these policies. • We here describe the rationale and specific goals of PEN, and highlight innovations. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of global mortality. As the social and economic costs of NCDs have esca…
How do adults define the treats they give to children? A thematic analysis
School sociodemographic characteristics and obesity in schoolchildren
School socioeconomic status was a strong determinant of overweight and obesity in Irish schoolchildren, and these associations were age- and sex-dependent. School location was not associated with overweight or obesity. There remains a need to intervene with school-aged children in disadvantaged schools, specifically among those approaching adolescence, to prevent a trajectory of obesity into adult life
Is it still a real treat? Adults' treat provision to children
Parental population exposure to historical socioeconomic and political periods and grand-child’s birth weight in the Lifeways Cross-Generation Cohort Study in the Republic of Ireland
Exposure to deprived socioeconomic conditions during the peri-conception and early childhood periods can have a negative long-term impact on individuals' health and that of their progeny. We aimed to examine whether relatives' birth period affected index-child (grand-child) birthweight status in the Lifeways Cross-Generation Cohort in the Republic of Ireland. Participants were 943 mothers and offspring, 890 fathers, 938 maternal grandmothers (MGM…
Developing a National Undergraduate Curriculum for Health Professionals in Ireland on health behaviour change (Making Every Contact Count)
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
Familial intergenerational and maternal aggregation patterns in nutrient intakes in the Lifeways Cross-Generation Cohort Study
Objective The current study prospectively examines the intra-uterine hypothesis by comparing maternal, paternal and grandparental lineage influences on children's diet and also maternal–child aggregation patterns during pregnancy and early childhood. Design Prenatal dietary information was available for expectant mothers, fathers and up to four grandparents through a detailed validated semi-quantitative FFQ. At 6-year follow-up, when children ave…
PP30 Primary Care Utilisation and its Socio-Economic Determinants
Background Worldwide there is a well-established association between rates of primary and secondary health care utilisation and socio-economic deprivation. The collapse of the Celtic Tiger economy and recession in 2006/7 may have had a significant impact on health care utilisation. Aim: To examine patterns of primary care utilisation rates in the Irish adult population and its determinants over a 10 year period. Setting: Lifeways is a Cross-Gener…
Body mass index and height over three generations
This is the first family cohort study to report an enduring association between mother and offspring BMI over three generations. The evidence of BMI transmission over three generations through the maternal line in an observational study corroborates the findings of animal studies. A more detailed analysis of geno and phenotypic data over three generations is warranted to understand the nature of this maternal-offspring relationship
P1-454 Explanations for social inequalities in preterm delivery in the lifeways cohort
Introduction Social inequalities in pregnancy outcomes have been extensively described, but studies that explain these inequalities comprehensively are lacking. This analysis evaluated the contribution of material, psychosocial, behavioural, nutritional, and obstetrical factors in explaining social inequalities in preterm delivery. Methods The data were based on a prospective cohort of 1109 Irish pregnant women. Preterm delivery was obtained from…
P2-474 Familial predictors of variability in pre-school children's health
Introduction The child's health in first 5 years of growth has critical adult and intergenerational consequences. Material, psycho-social and lifestyle factors are principal pathways determining health inequalities in children, and families constitute significant contributory micro-ecosystems. We examined the relationship of familial demographic, social and behavioural predictors with self-reported health (SRH) by mothers of their children, follo…
O1-5.4 Familial aggregation in nutrient intake patterns
Introduction Familial influence on dietary behaviours of children is expressed through genetic predispositions, maternal-environment and home-environment. Disaggregating such effects requires relatively rare cross-generational study designs. This analysis examined associations of maternal, paternal and grandparental dietary intake prenatally; and maternal and maternal-grandmothers dietary intake post-natally with child's dietary intake. Methods P…
P2-279 10-year mortality follow-up of maternal and paternal grandparents shows different patterns of association with their grandchildren's birth weights
Introduction Association between individual birth measures and chronic disease morbidity or mortality in their adult relatives contributes to evidence of developmental origins of disease. Internationally, only three studies to date have explored this intergenerational risk association with grandparents. We prospectively examine the relationship between infants' birth-weights and all-cause mortality of their grandparents. Methods In 2001–2003 the …
Prospective sex-specific trans-generational association between cardiovascular risk factors of maternal and paternal grandparents and their grandchildren's birth weights in the Lifeways Cross Generati…
Purpose The association between infants' birth-weight (BW) and cardiovascular (CVD) morbidity or mortality of their grandparents has been reported by only three studies, but has not been investigated with antenatally measured CVD risk clinical parameters. Such antenatal clinical parameters studies are rare even with parents' data. We prospectively examined the relationship between measured CVD risk profile of grandparents and their grandchild's (…
Socio-demographic predictors of uptake of MMR immunisation in the lifeways cohort study
examined and compared treatment of Ma ori (Indigenous) and non-Ma ori New Zealanders with colon cancer. Methods: From the New Zealand Cancer Registry we identified a population-based cohort of 629 patients diagnosed with colon cancer between 1996 and 2003. We reviewed medical notes and compared surgical and oncology treatment in Ma ori and non-Ma ori patients. We adjusted treatment differences for tumour characteristics, patient comorbidity and t…
