Socio-economic inequalities in body mass index among preschool children
Background: Overweight in childhood is considered to be one of the most serious public health challenges. Many studies have investigated individual-level determinants of children's body mass index (BMI), yet studies exploring determinants at the meso-level are sparse. The aim of our study was to examine how a sports focus at early childhood education and care (ECEC) centers moderates the effect of parental socio-economic position (SEP) on childre…
Subjective experiences of the addictive potential of E-cigarettes
Background: Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) have specific properties, such as their taste, vapor, or technicality, which might facilitate experiences of addiction. In this study, we aimed to investigate the subjective experience of the addictive potential of e-cigarettes using qualitative methodology. Method: We conducted semi-structured focus groups with adult e-cigarette users to discuss subjective experiences of addiction. Informed by Bra…
Physical Activity, Climate Change and Health—A Conceptual Model for Planning Public Health Action at the Organizational Level
Climate change is linked to health risks for both professional and amateur athletes. Sports organisations will need to react to these developments. The starting point for this concept paper is a summary of the sport-specific health risks currently under discussion: increasing heatwaves, growing numbers of extreme weather events, rising UV, ozone and allergen levels and the spread of infectious diseases. Based on the current state of research, a c…

Associations of individual factors and early childhood education and care (Ecec) centres characteristics with preschoolers’ BMI in Germany
The BMI of preschool children appears to be associated with determinants at the micro and meso level, however with some gender differences. The identified factors at the micro and meso level appear largely modifiable and can inform about possible interventions to reduce obesity in preschool children
Effects of a Brief Web-Based “Social Norms”-Intervention on Alcohol, Tobacco and Cannabis Use Among German University Students
Background and Aim: “Social norms” (SN)-interventions are aimed at changing existing misperceptions regarding peer substance use by providing feedback on actual norms, thereby affecting personal substance use. It is unknown whether SN-intervention effects previously demonstrated in US students can be replicated in German students. The aim of the INSIST-study was to examine the effects of a web-based SN-intervention on substance use. Design: Clust…
Fatal and Non-Fatal Heroin-Related Overdoses
INTRODUCTION: Heroin overdose is a leading cause of mortality among drug users. This paper aims to identify individual and contextual factors associated with lethal and non-lethal heroin-related overdoses on the basis of case reports and semi-structured proxy interviews. Typical patterns within these cases are determined by means of cluster analysis. METHODS: Within the CaRe (Case Reports of heroin-related overdoses) study, case reports (100 prox…

A Continuous, Semi-Automated Workflow
The concept and implementation of Smart Cities is an important approach to improve decision making as well as quality of life of the growing urban population. An essential part of this is the presentation of data from different sources within a digital city model. Wind flow at building scale has a strong impact on many health and energy issues in a city. For the analysis of urban wind, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become an established …
Active and Passive Exposure to Tobacco and e-Cigarettes During Pregnancy
Among pregnant women, the use of tobacco cigarettes remains prominent before and during pregnancy, while e-cigarette use predominately occurs before pregnancy. Our study shows that pregnant women are frequently exposed to their partners' tobacco and e-cigarette use within their homes. Strategies to reduce such exposure should be further intensified
Obesity à la carte? Children’s meal options in German full-service restaurants
Objective: In light of the increasing prevalence of juvenile obesity seen around the world, obesogenic environments in general and the food environment in particular are receiving increasing attention in current public health research. Restaurants play a significant role in the food environment. The present study aimed to quantitatively describe and qualitatively evaluate the range of children’s meals available in full-service restaurants in Germ…

Trends in Tanning Bed Use, Motivation, and Risk Awareness in Germany
Indoor tanning is an important risk factor for the development of melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. With our nationally representative monitoring, we aimed at describing tanning bed use, user characteristics, reasons for use, and risk awareness over time. In the framework of the National Cancer Aid Monitoring (NCAM), we collected representative data on 12,000 individuals aged 14 to 45 years in annual waves of n = 3,000 participants in German…
Contextual influences on physical activity and eating habits -options for action on the community level
After presenting various interdisciplinary approaches to community-based health interventions, the manuscript closes with the following core message: Successful community-based health promotion strategies consist of multilevel - multicomponent interventions on the micro, meso and macro-level-environments

Modifying Health Behavior to Prevent Cardiovascular Diseases
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major public health concern as they are the leading cause of death in developed countries. Primary care is considered to be the ideal setting for CVD prevention. Therefore, more than 4,000 German primary care physicians (PCPs) were asked about their attitudes towards and their activities regarding the prevention of CVD in the nationwide ÄSP-kardio Study. The focus of the study was on health behavior modificatio…
Socio-demographic, behavioural and cognitive correlates of work-related sitting time in German men and women
The present findings show that in particular, higher educated men and women as well as young women are high-risk groups to target for reducing prolonged work-related sitting time. In addition, our findings propose considering increasing transport-related PA, especially in women, as well as promoting recreation-related PA in conjunction with efforts to reduce long work-related sitting times

Neighbourhood deprivation and outlet density for tobacco, alcohol and fast food
Objective The current discussion regarding ‘place effects on health’ is increasingly focusing on the characteristics of a specific physical environment. Our study investigated whether socially deprived residential areas are more likely than affluent neighbourhoods to provide access to addictive substances and fast food. Design In this ecological study the total number of tobacco, alcohol and fast-food outlets was recorded and visualized using a g…
Higher levels of psychological distress are associated with a higher risk of incident diabetes during 18 year follow-up
Higher levels of psychological distress are a risk factor for the development of diabetes during an 18 year follow up period. This association may be potentially mediated by low energy level and impaired health status
Associations Between Job Strain and the Cortisol/DHEA-S Ratio Among Management and Nonmanagement Personnel
OBJECTIVE: To assess associations between the main, nonlinear, and interactive effects of the demand-control-support (DCS) model and the cortisol/dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) ratio, a biomarker of psychophysical well-being. METHODS: Subjects were 596 employees from all occupational levels of a German airplane manufacturing plant. Multiple regression models controlling for age and gender were computed separately for employees with (n = …

Die vorliegende Studie beantwortet die Frage, ob sportliche Betätigung - wie es soziologische Ungleichheitsansätze nahe legen - in einem sozialstrukturellen Determinationszusammenhang steht. Die Untersuchung basiert auf einem bis dato in den Sozialwissenschaften noch vergleichsweise wenig beachteten bundesweit repräsentativen Querschnitt-Datensatz: dem Bundes-Gesundheitssurvey 1998 (BGS98). Zusammenhänge zwischen sozialstrukturellen Merkmalen und…
