Youth perspectives on mental health during Covid-19 lockdown in a Small Island Developing State
Measures taken to address one serious public health concern, COVID-19, led to the aggravation of another serious public health concern, mental ill-health. Mental health initiatives to help young people navigate issues specific to their generation must be developed. In low resourced Small Island Developing States settings. The increased need for mental health services during and because of the COVID-19 pandemic highlights the need for strengthenin…
Regional differences in British attitudes to diet in pregnancy
Interviews were carried out with 242 pregnant women in England and Scotland. Attitudes to food, health, and self, in pregnancy were recorded and analysed. The English women articulated a wider range of concepts regarding foetal growth and maternal diet, displayed more concern about weight gain and appearance and reported more physiological disturbances. The Scottish women displayed more pragmatic and less health‐seeking attitudes. The women's cat…

How young english children were being fed in 1974
A survey of preschool children in four areas of England was carried out during 1973 and 1974. Questions on dietary patterns and feeding practices showed that breast feeding was more common in Southern England and in the non‐manual social/occupational classes. Compared with surveys in the 1930's and 1950's, this one showed a trend away from bread and potatoes for feeding children around six months old. Some regional and social class differences in…
From concept to practice
The dietary practices of Chinese families in London are described, and related to their conceptualisation of foods. The pattern is varied and nutritionally excellent. There is some cautious incorporation of English foods
Concepts relating to health and food held by Chinese women in London
In classical Chinese literature, foods are conceptualised within the framework of the “hot‐cold” system. A survey of 50 Hong Kong families, now settled in London, showed that the women of these families hold to a simplified and pragmatic version of these concepts, at the same time making use of some English foods and developing ways of counter‐balancing the expected effects on their children of eating English foods. They have also developed varyi…
Trends in the growth of ethnic Chinese children living in London
Height, weight and triceps skinfold thickness of children aged 5 years and under were measured in a semi-longitudinal study of 50 Chinese families in London. Heights and weights of their mothers were also measured once. The children were taller and heavier than Chinese children in Hong Kong, but height-forage, when expressed as a percentage of the UK median value, declined after two years of age. The pattern of growth of triceps skinfold did not …

The value of the Ghanaian traditional diet in relation to the energy needs of young children
The energy intakes at individual meals, and the energy densities of traditional foods, consumed by Ghanaian children of 1–3 years, have been studied at two locations—a village and an orphanage. In both locations, a wide range of food intakes and food energy densities was found, and there were children who consumed more than an estimated energy requirement (based on FAO recommendations) of 120 KJ(28 kCals)/kg at single meals. The maximum weight of…
Water balance and body weight
Total body weight, water balance and energy balance were estimated in young adult men in a hot climate, over three 6-day periods. The aim was to determine the relative contributions to body weight changes of fluctuations in water and energy stores. In these subjects, the small observed body weight changes were due almost entirely to water balance changes. Water balance was regulated to within +/- 1% of body weight from day-to-day
