Family-based childhood weight management programme. Service evaluation of BeeZee Bodies run in deprived community settings
The importance of psycho-social effects in family-based interventions
Marketing foods to children
Objective The predominance of marketing of products high in fat, sugar and/or salt to children has been well documented and implicated in the incidence of obesity. The present study aimed to determine whether foods marketed to children in UK supermarkets are nutritionally similar to the non-children's equivalent, focusing on food categories that may be viewed as healthier options. Design Nutritional data were collected on yoghurts ( n 147), cerea…
Influence of nutrition labelling on food portion size consumption
Independent associations of body-size adjusted fat mass and fat-free mass with the metabolic syndrome in Chinese
Both FMI and FFMI are independently associated with increased MetS risks. Proper expression of body composition is essential in assessing body composition and disease risk association
Prevalence of overweight and obesity among young people in Great Britain
Objective: To determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in British young people (4–18 years) in 1997. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of the National Diet and Nutrition Survey of young people. Setting: Great Britain. Subjects: Nationally representative sample of 1836 young people (age 4–18 years). Results: The prevalence of obesity based on body mass index (weight/height 2 ) and the International Obesity Task Force cut–offs was 4.0%, wi…
Validity and repeatability of a simple index derived from the short physical activity questionnaire used in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) study
Objective: To assess the validity and repeatability of a simple index designed to rank participants according to their energy expenditure estimated by self-report, by comparison with objectively measured energy expenditure assessed by heart-rate monitoring with individual calibration. Design: Energy expenditure was assessed over one year by four separate episodes of 4-day heart-rate monitoring, a method previously validated against whole-body cal…
The validation of physical activity instruments for measuring energy expenditure
Objective: To review and categorize the problems associated with undertaking physical activity validation studies and to construct a checklist against which any study could be compared. Results: The studies reviewed demonstrated problems in defining the dimension of physical activity that is of interest and in the selection of an appropriate comparison technique. Ideally this should be closely related to the true exposure of interest and assess t…
