Creating sustainable networks to enhance women’s participation in higher education in Papua New Guinea
The challenges of raising the participation of women as leaders in higher education globally have been extensively but unevenly documented. Potential has been identified for international developmental networks to support an increasing presence of women as leaders in emerging higher education systems. Through an exploration of shared experiences and learnings in a specific developmental network of women, and some men, from universities in Papua N…
The association between socio-economic position and diet quality in Australian adults
Objective We aimed to investigate the association between multiple measures of socio-economic position (SEP) and diet quality, using a diet quality index representing current national dietary guidelines, in the Australian adult population. Design Cross-sectional study. Linear regression analyses were used to estimate the association between indicators of SEP (educational attainment, level of income and area-level disadvantage) and diet quality (m…

Development and evaluation of the Oxford WebQ, a low-cost, web-based method for assessment of previous 24 h dietary intakes in large-scale prospective studies
Objectives To describe the development of the Oxford WebQ, a web-based 24 h dietary assessment tool developed for repeated administration in large prospective studies; and to report the preliminary assessment of its performance for estimating nutrient intakes. Design We developed the Oxford WebQ by repeated testing until it was sufficiently comprehensive and easy to use. For the latest version, we compared nutrient intakes from volunteers who com…
P1-80 Different effects of body mass index and physical activity on the risk of ankle, wrist and hip fractures in postmenopausal women
Introduction We compared the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical activity for the risk of ankle, wrist and hip fractures in a large prospective study of postmenopausal women in the UK. Methods In 1996–2001, women recruited into the Million Women Study completed a self-administered questionnaire asking about a range of health and lifestyle factors. Incident fractures were identified through self-report in a follow-up questionna…
Different effects of body mass index and physical activity on the risk of ankle, wrist and hip fractures in postmenopausal women
Objective To compare the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical activity for the risk of ankle, wrist and hip fractures in a large prospective study of postmenopausal women in the UK. Methods In 1996–2001, women recruited into the Million Women Study completed a self-administered questionnaire asking about body size, physical activity, disease history, and lifestyle and reproductive factors.

General and Abdominal Adiposity and Risk of Death in Europe
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have relied predominantly on the body-mass index (BMI, the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) to assess the association of adiposity with the risk of death, but few have examined whether the distribution of body fat contributes to the prediction of death. METHODS: We examined the association of BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio with the risk of death among 359,387 partici…
Calcium, diet and fracture risk
Objective The risk factors for fractures are incompletely understood. An outstanding question concerns the optimal amount of dietary calcium needed to minimise the risk of fracture. Design We examined the associations of dietary calcium and other nutrients with self-reported fracture risk in a prospective cohort study. Nutrient intakes were estimated using a semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire administered at recruitment. Setting The U…
Dietary patterns and survival of older Europeans
Objective To investigate the association of a posteriori dietary patterns with overall survival of older Europeans. Design and setting This is a multi-centre cohort study. Cox regression analysis was used to investigate the association of the prevailing, a posteriori -derived, plant-based dietary pattern with all-cause mortality in a population of subjects who were 60 years or older at recruitment to the European Prospective Investigation into Ca…
Dietary intake of different types and characteristics of processed meat which might be associated with cancer risk – results from the 24-hour diet recalls in the European Prospective Investigation int…
Objective There is increasing evidence for a significant effect of processed meat (PM) intake on cancer risk. However, refined knowledge on how components of this heterogeneous food group are associated with cancer risk is still missing. Here, actual data on the intake of PM subcategories is given; within a food-based approach we considered preservation methods, cooking methods and nutrient content for stratification, in order to address most of …
Reproducibility of a short semi-quantitative food group questionnaire and its performance in estimating nutrient intake compared with a 7-day diet diary in the Million Women Study

Design Participants for the reproducibility study completed the food group questionnaire at two time points, up to 2 years apart. Participants for the performance study completed both the food group questionnaire and a 7-day diet diary a few months …
Nutrition and lifestyle in relation to bowel movement frequency
Objective: To investigate the relationships between nutritional and lifestyle factors and bowel movement frequency. Design: Cross-sectional analysis using data from a prospective study. Mean numbers of bowel movements were calculated in relation to a range of factors. In addition, individuals were categorised according to frequency of bowel movements: fewer than 7 per week (‘less than daily’) versus 7 or more per week (‘daily’), and odds ratios w…

The role of mass media in changing health-related behaviour
The mass media are increasingly popular as a strategy for delivering preventive health messages. A review of the literature located 24 published evaluations of the effectiveness of mass media programmes in modifying cardiovascular risk behaviour or safety restraint use among adults. Many of these studies failed to meet basic methodological criteria and were excluded from the review. The remaining studies were found to provide little support for t…
