Adherence to the EAT-Lancet reference diet is associated with a reduced risk of incident cancer and all-cause mortality in UK adults
Food systems have been identified as significant contributors to the global environmental emergency. However, there is no universally agreed-upon definition of what constitutes a planetary healthy, sustainable diet. In our study, we investigated the association between the EAT-Lancet reference diet, a diet within the planetary boundaries, and incident cancer, incident major cardiovascular events, and all-cause mortality. Higher adherence to the E…
Dietary flavonoids and flavonoid-rich foods: Validity and reproducibility of FFQ-derived intake estimates
Objective: To evaluate the validity and reproducibility of a 152-item semi-quantitative FFQ (SFFQ) for estimating flavonoid intakes. Design: Over a 1-year period, participants completed two SFFQ and two weighed 7-d dietary records (7DDR). Flavonoid intakes from the SFFQ were estimated separately using Harvard (SFFQ Harvard ) and Phenol-Explorer (SFFQ PE ) food composition databases. 7DDR flavonoid intakes were derived using the Phenol-Explorer da…
Dietary intakes of flavan-3-ols and cardiometabolic health: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials and prospective cohort studies
Food and drink consumption at school lunchtime: The impact of lunch type and contribution to overall intake in British 9–10-year-old children
Objective To examine the differences in dietary intakes of children consuming school meals and packed lunches, the contribution of lunchtime intake to overall dietary intake, and how lunchtime intake relates to current food-based recommendations for school meals. Design Cross-sectional analysis of overall intake of macronutrients and food choice from 4 d food diaries and school lunchtime intake from the two diary days completed while at school. S…
Breakfast consumption and daily physical activity in 9–10-year-old British children
Objective To examine the association between breakfast consumption and physical activity in a well-characterised sample of English children. Design Cross-sectional study using food diaries to record breakfast consumption and accelerometry to assess physical activity. Setting Norfolk county, England. Subjects Children ( n 1697) aged 9–10 years from the SPEEDY (Sport, Physical Activity and Eating behaviour: Environmental Determinants in Young peopl…
Positive effect of a targeted intervention to improve access and availability of fruit and vegetables in an area of deprivation
School level correlates with adiposity in 9–10 year old children
Environmental correlates of adiposity in 9-10 year old children: Considering home and school neighbourhoods and routes to school

Objective Poor diet in childhood increases risk of obesity but the relationship between access to food and children’s food choice is underexplored. We determined relationships between distance to and density of food outlets on children’s food choice. Design Children ( n 1721) aged 9–10 years who participated in a cross-sectional study from a sample of state and private schools across urban and rural areas. Food consumption was reported using a sh…
Physical activity and dietary behaviour in a population-based sample of British 10-year old children: The SPEEDY study (Sport, Physical activity and Eating behaviour: Environmental Determinants in You…
Results indicate that almost 70% of children meet national PA guidelines, indicating that a prevention of decline, rather than increasing physical activity levels, might be an appropriate intervention target. Promotion of daily fruit and vegetable intake in this age group is also warranted, possibly focussing on children from lower socioeconomic backgrounds
Flavonoids, flavonoid-rich foods, and cardiovascular risk: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Comparison of dietary assessment methods in nutritional epidemiology: Weighed records v . 24 h recalls, food-frequency questionnaires and estimated-diet records
Women ( n 160) aged 50 to 65 years were asked to weigh their food for 4 d on four occasions over the period of 1 year, using the PETRA (Portable Electronic Tape Recorded Automatic) scales. Throughout the year, they were asked to complete seven other dietary assessment methods: a simple 24 h recall, a structured 24 h recall with portion size assessments using photographs, two food-frequency questionnaires, a 7 d estimated record or open-ended food…
