Temperament and character traits and profiles: Impact on bipolar disorder risk and onset age
This study reaffirmed previous associations of TCI dimensions with BD risk, with two (NS, SD) also significantly relating for the first time to onset age. TCI profiles tentatively provided a more nuanced understanding of BD's onset than dimensions but warrant further investigation in larger samples
Parental Emotion Socialization and Child Adjustment in Greek Families: Supportive vs. Non-Supportive Parenting
Background/Objectives : Parental emotion socialization is a key influence on children's emotional regulation and psychosocial development. This study examined how supportive and non-supportive parental responses to children's negative emotions are associated with internalizing and externalizing problems and social competence among Greek children aged 6-12 years. Methods : A non-experimental, cross-sectional correlational study using convenience s…
An Eight-Week Mindful Eating Program Applied in a Mediterranean Population With Overweight or Obesity: The Eatt Intervention Study
The intervention improved participants' relationship with food and enabled changes towards successful weight regulation
Timing of eating across ten European countries – results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) calibration study
Objective To examine timing of eating across ten European countries. Design Cross-sectional analysis of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) calibration study using standardized 24 h diet recalls collected during 1995–2000. Eleven predefined food consumption occasions were assessed during the recall interview. We present time of consumption of meals and snacks as well as the later:earlier energy intake ratio, wi…
Evaluation of food photographs assessing the dietary intake of children up to 10 years old
Objective Young children lack basic skills related to recognizing the types of foods they consume and dietary surveys often rely on parents’ response. The present study aimed to evaluate how well parents of children aged from 3 months to 10 years perceive images of portions of foods commonly consumed by young children. Design Pre-weighed, actual food portions ( n 2314) were shown to the study participants who were asked to indicate the picture th…
Evaluation of a digital food photography atlas used as portion size measurement aid in dietary surveys in Greece
Objective To evaluate how well respondents perceive digital images of food portions commonly consumed in Greece. Design The picture series was defined on the basis of usual dietary intakes assessed in earlier large-scale studies in Greece. The evaluation included 2218 pre-weighed actual portions shown to participants, who were subsequently asked to link each portion to a food picture. Mean differences between picture numbers selected and portions…
Meal patterns across ten European countries – results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) calibration study
Objective To characterize meal patterns across ten European countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) calibration study. Design Cross-sectional study utilizing dietary data collected through a standardized 24 h diet recall during 1995–2000. Eleven predefined intake occasions across a 24 h period were assessed during the interview. In the present descriptive report, meal patterns were analys…
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
Essential actions for caterers to promote healthy eating out among European consumers: Results from a participatory stakeholder analysis in the Hector project
Objective To identify and assess actions by which the catering sector could be engaged in strategies for healthier eating out in Europe. Design A SWOT analysis was used to assess the participation of the catering sector in actions for healthier eating out. Caterers subsequently shortlisted essential actions to overcome threats and weaknesses the sector may face when engaging in implementing these actions. Setting Analysis undertaken in the Europe…
Soft drinks: Time trends and correlates in twenty-four European countries. A cross-national study using the Dafne (Data Food Networking) databank
Objective To evaluate time trends in the availability of soft drinks, to identify food choices associated with their consumption and to assess the relationship between socio-economic status and daily soft drink availability in a wide range of European countries. Design Data on food and beverage availability collected through the national household budget surveys and harmonized in the DAFNE (Data Food Networking) project were used. Averages and va…
Evaluation of a nutrition intervention in adolescents of an urban area in Greece: Short- and long-term effects of the Vyronas study
Objective To assess the short-term (15-d) and long-term (12-month) effects of a school-based health and nutrition education intervention on diet, nutrition intake and BMI. Design The 12-week teacher-implemented intervention in combination with seminars organized for parents was aimed at improving children’s diet and nutrition knowledge. The intervention took place between September 2007 and January 2008. The participants were randomized to two st…
Consumption of vegetables, fruit and other plant foods in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) cohorts from 10 European countries
Objective: To describe and compare the consumption of the main groups and sub-groups of vegetables and fruits (V&F) in men and women from the centres participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design: Cross-sectional analysis. Dietary intake was assessed by means of a 24-hour dietary recall using computerised interview software and standardised procedures. Crude and adjusted means were computed for t…
Consumption of added fats and oils in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) centres across 10 European countries as assessed by 24-hour dietary recalls
Objective: To evaluate the consumption of added fats and oils across the European centres and countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Design and setting: 24-Hour dietary recalls were collected by means of standardised computer-guided interviews in 27 redefined EPIC centres across 10 European countries. Subjects: From an initial number of 36 900 subjects, single dietary recalls from 22 92…
Evaluation of under- and overreporting of energy intake in the 24-hour diet recalls in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic)
EI tends to be underestimated in the vast majority of the EPIC centres, although to varying degrees; at the aggregate level most centres were below the expected reference value of 1.55. Underreporting seems to be more prevalent among women than men in the EPIC calibration sample. The hypothesis that BMI (or weight) and age are causally related to underreporting seems to be confirmed in the present work. This introduces further complexity in the w…
