Comparison of national cross-sectional breast-feeding surveys by maternal education in Europe (2006–2016)
Objective Breast-feeding is an important determinant of health of mothers and their offspring. The present study aimed to compare breast-feeding rates across Europe disaggregated by maternal education and establish what proportion achieves at least 50 % exclusive breast-feeding (EBF) at 6 months. Design/Setting Secondary analysis of national or sub-national studies’ breast-feeding data for EU Member States plus Norway and Iceland, published in 20…
Sustainable prevention of obesity through integrated strategies
SPOTLIGHT offers the potential to develop approaches that combine an understanding of the obesogenicity of environments in Europe, and thus how they can be improved, with an appreciation of the individual factors that explain why people respond differently to such environments. Its findings will inform governmental authorities and professionals, academics, NGOs and private sector stakeholders engaged in the development and implementation of polic…
Conducting an HIA of the effect of accession to the European Union on national agriculture and food policy in Slovenia
Food security in the Baltic Republics
Objectives: Food insecurity has become an important issue in many countries of the former Soviet Union following the transition to a market economy. This study examined three aspects of food security in the Baltic Republics: reasons for choosing foods; level of dependence on home-grown or raised foods; and use of home-grown vegetables. Design: Cross-sectional surveys. Setting: Data from surveys conducted in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the su…

The potential contribution of increased vegetable and fruit consumption to health gain in the European Union
Background: The risk of many important diseases can be reduced by consuming a diet rich in vegetables and fruit. For this reason the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a daily intake of more than 400 g person −1 . The pattern of both the supply and intake of vegetables and fruit and the potential health gain achieved by increasing intake in the European Union (EU) and three accession countries are presented in this paper. Methods: Pattern…

Social inequalities and the burden of food-related ill-health
Increased health inequalities are a result of poverty and social inequalities. Examples of how food intake is affected by poverty exist throughout the European Region. The diets of low-income groups are likely to be inadequate. Low-income groups and specific groups such as children, adolescents, pregnant and lactating women, and older people often face problems gaining access to a healthy variety of safe foods. Safe healthy food may not be access…
Making Public Health Nutrition relevant to evidence-based action
Public health nutrition enjoyed many breakthroughs in the 20th century – from the discovery of vitamins and the metabolic roles of some 60 macro- and micronutrients, to the effects of maternal and childhood diet on health over the life course. Moreover, the food shortages in the UK that were experienced during World War II gave the first opportunity to show that nutritional science could make a valuable contribution to public policy. However, pub…
Dietary beliefs in the Baltic republics
Objectives As beliefs and knowledge about the possible effects of foods on health can influence food behaviours, this study examined selected dietary beliefs in the Baltic countries and the association of beliefs related to salt intake and to types of fat with food behaviours. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting Data from three surveys conducted in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the summer of 1997 were used to describe the prevalence of die…
Patterns of body weight in the Baltic Republics
Objective Previously recorded rates of obesity in the Baltic Republics have been among the highest in the world although little is known about how they vary within the population. This study investigates the distribution of body mass index (BMI) and obesity in these countries. Design Three cross-sectional surveys conducted in the summer of 1997. Setting Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Subjects Representative national samples of adults with measure…

Alcohol consumption in the Baltic Republics
METHODS Between country differences in the frequency of alcohol intake were estimated. The odds of consuming alcohol weekly according to socioeconomic characteristics (age, ethnicity, rural/urban area, education, income) were calculated using multiple logistic regression analyses, adjusting for all variables simultaneously
