A Multisource Process Evaluation of a Community-Based Healthy Lifestyle Programme for Child and Adolescent Obesity
Whānau Pakari is a healthy lifestyle assessment and intervention programme for children and adolescents with obesity in Taranaki (Aotearoa/New Zealand), which, in this region, replaced the nationally funded Green Prescription Active Families (GRxAF) programme. We compared national referral rates from the GRxAF programme (age 5–15 years) and the B4 School Check (B4SC, a national preschool health and development assessment) with referral rates in T…
It's more personal if you can have that contact with a person”: Qualitative study of health information preferences of parents and caregivers of children with obesity in New Zealand
The objective of this study was to understand how participants referred to a childhood obesity intervention programme prefer to receive health information, and secondly, to determine acceptability of digital technologies such as a social media platform or IT application for programme engagement. This study includes a subset of interviews (n = 64) of a wider study of the barriers and facilitators of engagement in a multidisciplinary healthy lifest…
Physical Activity in Adolescents with and without Type 1 Diabetes during the New Zealand Covid-19 Pandemic Lockdown of 2020
Physical activity (PA) is an important part of lifestyle management for adolescents with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Opportunities for PA were reduced by COVID-19 restrictions. Therefore, the purpose of this cross-sectional study was to compare PA among adolescents with and without T1D during the first New Zealand (NZ) COVID-19 lockdown. PA levels of adolescents aged 11-18 years with T1D ( n = 33) and healthy controls ( n = 34) were assessed through s…

A Collaborative Indigenous-non-Indigenous Partnership Approach to Understanding Participant Experiences of a Community-Based Healthy Lifestyles Program
We describe the approach of an Indigenous-non-Indigenous research partnership in the context of a qualitative study which aimed to understand barriers and facilitators to engagement in a community-based healthy lifestyles program in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Informed by Kaupapa Māori research principles and by "Community-Up" research values, this collaborative approach between the mixed Māori-non-Māori research team effectively engaged with Māori and…
Increasing parental age at childbirth is associated with greater insulin sensitivity and more favorable metabolic profile in overweight adult male offspring
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of parental age at childbirth on insulin sensitivity and other metabolic outcomes in overweight middle-aged males. METHODS: We studied 73 men aged 46.0±5.4 years, who were overweight (body mass index, BMI 25-30 kg/m(2) ) but otherwise healthy. Insulin sensitivity was assessed by the Matsuda method from an oral glucose tolerance test. Other assessments included dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry-derived body compositi…
