An economic analysis of the impacts of local authority takeaway management zones around schools in England
Higher numbers of hot food takeaways in local neighbourhood food environments can be associated with increased exposure to, and consumption of, food that is high in fat and salt, and low in health promoting nutrients. Takeaway management zones enable local authorities in England to limit the number of new hot food takeaways opening. The impacts of takeaway management zones on local economies are currently unknown and yet commercial and other acto…
Changes in the number and outcome of takeaway food outlet planning applications in response to adoption of management zones around schools in England
Physical exposure to takeaway food outlets ("takeaways") is associated with poor diet and excess weight, which are leading causes of excess morbidity and mortality. At the end of 2017, 35 local authorities (LAs) in England had adopted takeaway management zones (or "exclusion zones"), which is an urban planning intervention designed to reduce physical exposure to takeaways around schools. In this nationwide, natural experimental study, we used int…
Estimated changes in free sugar consumption one year after the UK soft drinks industry levy came into force
BACKGROUND: The UK soft drinks industry levy (SDIL) was announced in March 2016 and implemented in April 2018, encouraging manufacturers to reduce the sugar content of soft drinks. This is the first study to investigate changes in individual-level consumption of free sugars in relation to the SDIL. METHODS: We used controlled interrupted time series (2011-2019) to explore changes in the consumption of free sugars in the whole diet and from soft d…

Why Are Some Population Interventions for Diet and Obesity More Equitable and Effective Than Others? The Role of Individual Agency
We now find ourselves in a world in which one in three adults is overweight or obese Unhealthy diets are an important determinant of overweight and obesity and also contribute directly to a variety of other causes of disability and death. In fact, together with physical inactivity, dietary risk factors are responsible for 10% of disability-adjusted life years lost globally Like many risk factors, unhealthy diets are not evenly distributed in the …
Could targeted food taxes improve health
Objective: To examine the effects on nutrition, health and expenditure of extending value added tax (VAT) to a wider range of foods in the UK. Method: A model based on consumption data and elasticity values was constructed to predict the effects of extending VAT to certain categories of food. The resulting changes in demand, expenditure, nutrition and health were estimated. Three different tax regimens were examined: (1) taxing the principal sour…
