  • The interplay between social and food environments on UK adolescents’ food choices

    Open Access•Sarah Shaw, Sarah Muir et al.•ARTICLE•Health Promotion International•2023

    Factors from social and food environments can influence the food choices of adolescents in ways not experienced during childhood. Evidence suggests these two environments influence adolescents’ food choices independently, but there is limited knowledge of how the interplay between these environments influence adolescents’ diets. An enhanced understanding of this interplay surrounding adolescent food choice could aid the development of more nuance…

  • Breastfeeding and reported morbidity during infancy

    Open Access•Catherine M Fisk, Sarah Crozier et al.•ARTICLE•Maternal and Child Nutrition•2010

    A number of studies in developed countries suggest that breastfeeding protects against infections in infancy. However, the choice to breastfeed is often related to maternal characteristics, and many of these studies are limited in the extent to which they can take account of confounding influences. In a prospective birth cohort study, we assessed the relationship between the duration of breastfeeding and the prevalence of lower respiratory tract …

  • Does a heavy baby become a strong child? Grip strength at 4 years in relation to birthweight

    Richard Dodds, C Macdonald-Wallis et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2010

    Objective Consistent positive relationships have been found between birthweight and grip strength in young, middle-aged and older adults, suggesting that early influences on the growth and development of muscle are important for muscle function later in the lifecourse. However there are limited data in children. We aimed to assess the relationship between birthweight and grip strength in children aged 4 years. Design Prospective general populatio…

  • P28 Patterns of dietary supplement use among older men and women

    H J Denison, Hayley Denison et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2010

    Setting Use of dietary supplements has increased over recent decades in the UK. Although dietary supplement use has been described in a number of populations we know little about patterns of supplement use in older people. Objective The objectives of this study were to describe dietary supplement use in the Hertfordshire Cohort Study (HCS), to determine patterns of supplement use, and to investigate the extent to which supplement user groups diff…

  • Food insecurity, well-being and inequalities in diet in UK women

    Jennifer Baird, Wayne Lawrence et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Epidemiology and…•2010

    Objective Prevalence of household food insecurity varies between populations, but is higher among those who have low incomes, poor educational attainment and low sense of well-being. The impact of household food insecurity on an individual's quality of diet depends on their role within the household and mothers may be more adversely affected than other family members. Studies have linked food insecurity with mental health problems in women of chi…

  • A review of the measurement of grip strength in clinical and epidemiological studies

    Helen C Roberts, Hayley J Denison et al.•ARTICLE•Age and Ageing•2011

    BACKGROUND: the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People has developed a clinical definition of sarcopenia based on low muscle mass and reduced muscle function (strength or performance). Grip strength is recommended as a good simple measure of muscle strength when 'measured in standard conditions'. However, standard conditions remain to be defined. METHODS: a literature search was conducted to review articles describing the measuremen…

  • How useful are the SF-36 sub-scales in older people? Mokken scaling of data from the Halcyon programme

    Open Access•Gita D Mishra, Catharine R Gale et al.•ARTICLE•Quality of Life Research•2011

    The unidimensionality and reliability of the sub-scales of SF-36 are sufficient to make this a useful measure of health-related quality of life in older people. Caution is needed when interpreting the results for GH and MH in the oldest cohort due to the poor unidimensionality
