    Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities 1,2 . This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity 3–6 . Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in more than 112 million adults, to report national, regional and global trends in mean B…

  • WHO European Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative

    Open AccessClaudia Börnhorst, Trudy Wijnhoven et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    The results suggest a potential relation between high screen time exposure and increased consumption frequencies of foods high in fat, free sugar or salt whereas long sleep duration may favourably be related to children's food choices. Both screen time and sleep duration are modifiable behaviours that may be tackled in childhood obesity prevention efforts

  • Physical activity promotion in the primary care setting in pre- and type 2 diabetes - the Sophia step study, an RCT

    Open AccessJenny Rossen, Agneta Yngve et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Physical activity prevents or delays progression of impaired glucose tolerance in high-risk individuals. Physical activity promotion should serve as a basis in diabetes care. It is necessary to develop and evaluate health-promoting methods that are feasible as well as cost-effective within diabetes care. The aim of Sophia Step Study is to evaluate the impact of a multi-component and a single component physical activity intervention aiming at impr…

  • WHO European Childhood Obesity Surveillance Initiative

    Open AccessTrudy Wijnhoven, Joop van Raaij et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2014

    Some European countries have implemented more school policies that are supportive to a healthy nutrition environment than others. However, most countries with low school nutrition environment scores also host schools with supportive school environment policies, suggesting that a uniform school policy to tackle the "unhealthy" school nutrition environment has not been implemented at the same level throughout a country and may underline the need fo…

  • Childhood obesity

    Open AccessMarilyn Tseng, IRJA HAAPALA et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2013

    Recently released results from the 2011–13 Australian Health Survey(1) show that in 2011–2012, 25.3% of children aged 5 to 17 years were overweight (17.7%) or obese (7.6%), with girls (27.1% overweight/obese) doing somewhat worse than boys (23.6% overweight/obese). Although this is a high proportion of children who were overweight or obese, the good news is that it had not increased since 2007–2008. Globally, childhood overweight and obesity incr…
