A community-level complementary-food safety and hygiene intervention improves family-food preparation behaviours in rural Gambia
INTRODUCTION: Infectious diarrhoea causes millions of deaths annually in low-income countries. Prevention strategies minimising transmission of diarrhoeal pathogens could include adopting better food hygiene practices. The objective was to assess whether a complementary-food hygiene intervention improved family-food hygiene practices in rural Gambian households. METHODS: A parallel cluster randomised controlled trial was conducted in central Gamb…
Sickness absence in the working age population
Economic inactivity rate in the UK reached 22.2% in 2024, driven largely by increased long-term sickness, and exceeds those reported in comparable high-income countries. Sickness absence remains a major challenge, imposing substantial costs on individuals and society. This study aimed to assess sickness absence rates and associated economic output losses in primary care for working-age adults in England. This was a population-based retrospective …
The association of education with body mass index and waist circumference in the Epic-Panacea study
In this European cohort, there is an inverse association between higher BMI as well as higher WC and lower education level. Public Health Programs that aim to reduce overweight and obesity should primarily focus on the lower educated population
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…
Plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in meat eaters, fish eaters, vegetarians and vegans
Objective Vegetarians and vegans exclude certain food sources of vitamin D from their diet, but it is not clear to what extent this affects plasma concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D). The objective was to investigate differences in vitamin D intake and plasma concentrations of 25(OH)D among meat eaters, fish eaters, vegetarians and vegans. Design A cross-sectional analysis. Setting United Kingdom. Subjects Plasma 25(OH)D concentration…
P2-54 Diet and risk of diverticular disease in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition (Epic)-Oxford cohort, a prospective study of British vegetarians and non-vegetarians
Introduction Vegetarians and those consuming a high fibre diet are thought to have a lower risk of diverticular disease but there is little evidence from prospective studies to substantiate these associations. The objective was to examine the associations between vegetarianism and dietary fibre intake with the risk of diverticular disease in the EPIC-Oxford study. Methods This analysis of the EPIC-Oxford cohort included 47 033 men and women livin…
A cross-sectional analysis of the associations between adult height, BMI and serum concentrations of IGF-I and IGFBP-1 -2 and -3 in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Ep…
Height and BMI are associated with IGF-I and its binding proteins, which may be mechanisms through which body size contributes to increased risk of several cancers
