Evaluation of the population-level impacts of the LiveLighter® obesity prevention campaign from 2012 to 2019 based on serial cross-sectional surveys
LiveLighter® is associated with improvements in knowledge of the health risks associated with excess body mass, increased vegetable intake and reduced SSB consumption in WA adults. These findings support the use of sustained, well-designed healthy lifestyle promotion and education programs as part of a comprehensive obesity prevention strategy
Energy drink intake is associated with insomnia and decreased daytime functioning in young adult females
Objective: To investigate the association between energy drink (ED) use and sleep-related disturbances in a population-based sample of young adults from the Raine Study. Design: Analysis of cross-sectional data obtained from self-administered questionnaires to assess ED use and sleep disturbance (Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ-10) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Symptoms Questionnaire–Insomnia (PSSQ-I)). Regre…
Do Changes in the Local Food Environment Within New Residential Developments Influence the Diets of Residents? Longitudinal Results from Reside
Background : There is limited longitudinal evidence supporting a link between food outlet locations and dietary outcomes to inform policy and urban planning. This study examined how longitudinal changes in the local food environment within new residential developments influenced changes in adult dietary intake. Methods : Adult participant data (n = 3223 person-observations) were sourced from the RESIDential Environments (RESIDE) project across th…
The influence of the local food environment on diet following residential relocation
Objective: To examine the associations of changes in the local food environment, individual behaviours and perceptions with changes in dietary intake, following relocation from an established neighbourhood to a new residential development. Design: Spatial food environment exposure measures were generated relative to each participant’s home address using the locations of food outlets at baseline (before moving house) and follow-up (1–2 years after…
The evolution of local food environments within established neighbourhoods and new developments in Perth, Western Australia
Changes in diet from age 10 to 14 years and prospective associations with school lunch choice
BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence on how diet changes over the transition from primary to secondary school. In this study we investigated changes in diet from age 10 (2007) to age 14 years (2011) and the contribution of school-time consumption and school lunch choice to such changes. METHODS: The 351 participants with dietary data (4 day food record) available at baseline (age 10 years) and follow-up (age 14 years) were included. Multi-level …
Does a high sugar dietary pattern in childhood lead to increased adiposity in adolescence
Dairy protein in the post-weaning phase is positively associated with BMI and weight up to five years of age
Changes in eating behaviour traits during weight loss and their relationship to changes in diet and body weight
Adolescent dietary patterns are associated with lifestyle and family psycho-social factors
Objective Dietary intake during adolescence contributes to lifelong eating habits and the development of early risk factors for disease in adulthood. Few studies have examined the dietary patterns of adolescents and the social and environmental factors that may affect them during this life stage. The present study describes dietary patterns in a cohort of adolescents and examines their associations with socio-economic factors, as well as parental…
Vietnam military service history and prostate cancer
These findings support a positive association between prostate cancer and military service history in the Vietnam war and a first degree relative family history of prostate cancer
Comparison of an Australian food-frequency questionnaire with diet records
Objectives: To compare a widely used Australian food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) with diet records and consider the results in relation to its use in nutrition surveillance. Design: Inter-method reliability study. Setting: A randomised trial in subjects with past asbestos exposure. Subjects: Seventy-two adults living in Western Australia. Methods: A semi-quantitative FFQ developed by the Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation …
Agreement between a brief food frequency questionnaire and diet records using two statistical methods
Objective To compare intra- and inter-method reliability of a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) designed specifically to measure beta carotene (BC) and retinol intake, using two methods – the limits of agreement (LOA) and the correlation coefficient. Design A cross-sectional study of dietary intake. Setting A randomized trial of vitamin A supplements in 2769 subjects with past asbestos exposure. Subjects Data from 57 men and 26…
