Delivering optimal weight gain advice to pregnant women by lead maternity carer midwives in a real-world setting to optimise health outcomes (DOT study)
ACTRN12623001228673 with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: 29 November 2023
Physical activity, screen time and dietary behaviours in New Zealand adolescents prior to and following the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic
Despite observed higher levels of physical activity and lower levels of outside school screen time during the pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic levels, few adolescents met health behaviour guidelines at both time points. Therefore, comprehensive health promotion that aims to improve physical activity levels, screen time and dietary patterns for adolescents is still necessary to prevent chronic health conditions adulthood
Enablers and barriers to dietary change for Māori with nutrition-related conditions in Aotearoa New Zealand
Objective: Māori, the Indigenous population of Aotearoa New Zealand, face a substantial burden of nutrition-related diseases, especially obesity and type 2 diabetes. Weight loss, through dietary change, is a central component of obesity and diabetes prevention and management; however, most approaches have not been designed with or evaluated specifically for Māori. The aim of this study was to review literature on the enablers and barriers to diet…
Adolescents’ perceptions of food outlets in the school neighbourhood and their unhealthy snacking behaviour on the way to and from school
Objective: To understand the relationship between adolescents’ unhealthy snacking behaviour during their school journey and their perceived and objective measures of food outlet availability in the school neighbourhood. Design: A cross-sectional survey enquired about socio-demographic information, school transport modes, perceived presence of food outlets in the school neighbourhood and unhealthy food purchase and consumption on the school journe…
Dietary Pattern Indicators among Healthy and Unhealthy Weight Adolescents Residing in Different Contexts across the Otago Region, New Zealand
Reported obesity rates for adolescents in different urban and rural areas are inconsistent. We examined indicators of healthy and unhealthy dietary patterns among 1863 adolescents aged 13-18 years with a healthy or excess body weight attending 23 secondary schools in four different settlement types across the Otago region, New Zealand. An online survey included demographics and dietary behaviours. Height and weight were measured, and body mass in…
School Bag-Related Factors and Their Implications for Walking and Cycling to School among New Zealand Adolescents
Excessive school bag weight may be a modifiable barrier to active transport to school. This study examined correlates of school bag weight and adolescents' perceptions of excessive school bag weight for walking and cycling to school among New Zealand adolescents living in diverse settlement types. Adolescents ( n = 1512; 15.0 ± 1.3 years) completed a questionnaire and had their bag weight ( n = 1190) and body weight ( n = 1038) measured. Adolesce…
Proximal and distal influences on dietary change among a diverse group with prediabetes participating in a pragmatic, primary care nurse-led intervention
Objective: To understand motivators, facilitators and challenges to dietary change amongst a diverse sample of New Zealanders with prediabetes participating in a primary care nurse-led individualised dietary intervention. Design: A qualitative study involving semi-structured, face-to-face interviews with a stratified sample of adults with prediabetes and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 , purposefully selected from a larger 2-year primary care-based prediabetes d…
Using a citizens’ jury approach to determine a good nutrition resource for pregnant women
Objective: The development of user-friendly nutrition resources for pregnant women seldom involves end-users. This qualitative study used a citizens’ jury approach to determine if our modification of a longstanding, frequently used dietitian-informed diet and diabetes booklet was deemed to be a good healthy eating resource for pregnant women. Design: Midwives recruited thirteen first-time pregnant women not requiring specialist obstetric care or …
School Bag Weight as a Barrier to Active Transport to School among New Zealand Adolescents
School bag weight was perceived a barrier to ATS and was a greater perceived barrier among users of motorized versus active transport. Perceptions of school bag weights should be considered in future ATS interventions
Clustering of (Un)Healthy Behaviors in Adolescents from Dunedin, New Zealand
Few adolescents met recommended health behavior guidelines; yet, two-thirds had a healthy weight. The identified clusters had distinct sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics. Future interventions should be comprehensive and consider socioeconomic structural factors
Ngāti and healthy
Community-wide lifestyle interventions have the potential to reduce rates of type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases in high-risk communities, but require a high level of commitment from the health sector and buy-in from the community. Adequate commitment, leadership, planning and resources are essential
