Home visiting intervention over pregnancy and the first two years of life to promote healthy feeding practices and energy balance-related behaviors and prevent obesity risk in children from socially d…
Background Social inequalities in health emerge early in life. The French Malin program, a multi-behavioral and multilevel intervention targeting both individual and structural factors, was co-created by participatory approaches involving diverse stakeholders. These stakeholders include end-users, the French Red Cross, non-profit associations, and two French pediatric societies. The program aims to promote healthy feeding practices (such as breas…
Influence of meteorological conditions on physical activity in adolescents
BACKGROUND: It has been shown that meteorological conditions and season affect physical activity (PA) during adolescence. Today, meteorological conditions have never been combined to study their influence on PA level in a single sample of a large adolescent multicountries population. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of meteorological conditions on PA in adolescents from several European countries. METHODS: The study included 202…
Adolescents’ diet quality in relation to their relatives’ and peers’ diet engagement and encouragement
Objective To examine the associations between adolescents’ diet quality and their perceived relatives’ and peers’ diet engagement and encouragement. Design Cross-sectional study performed in European countries. Diet quality was scored using the Diet Quality Index for Adolescents (DQI-A) based on four components: quality, diversity, balance and meal frequency. Perceived diet quality engagement and perceived encouragement of the relatives/peers wer…
Prevalence of overweight, obesity, underweight and normal weight in French youth from 2009 to 2013
Objective To determine the prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity in French youth from 2009 to 2013 and to determine if there are differences in weight categories according to socio-economic status. Design Cross-sectional study performed in different regions of France. Physical measures included weight, height and BMI. Underweight, overweight and obesity were defined according to age- and sex-specific BMI cut-off points from the Intern…
Marcel Thiry et la Russie
En 1915, les autorités belges repliées au Havre mirent à la disposition de leur allié russe un corps expéditionnaire constitué de plusieurs véhicules blindés. Engagés lors des grandes offensives de l’été 1916 et de l’été 1917, les soldats belges furent rappelés par leur gouvernement après la révolution d’octobre. Ils débarquèrent en France en juin 1918 après avoir traversé la Sibérie puis les Etats-Unis. Parmi eux se trouvait le futur écrivain Ma…

Nutrient intake of European adolescents
Objective An adequate nutritional intake in childhood and adolescence is crucial for growth and the prevention of youth and adult obesity and nutrition-related morbidities. Improving nutrient intake in children and adolescents is of public health importance. The purpose of the present study was to describe and evaluate the nutrient intake in a European sample using the D-A-CH nutrient intake recommendations and the Nutritional Quality Index (NQI)…
A conative educational model for an intervention program in obese youth
Results following year one of CEMHaVi showed that a program of physical activity and health education had positive effects on obesity, behavior in the classroom and the ability to perform sport activities in obese adolescents. Significant inter-action in changes between variables was observed. Findings are important for designing intervention models to improve health in obese youth
Validation of the Vivago Wrist-Worn accelerometer in the assessment of physical activity
Results of the study suggest that the Vivago® wrist-worn accelerometer is a valid measure of PA at varying levels of intensity. The study has also defined threshold values at 4 intensities and hence te Vivago® accelerometer may be used to quantify PA in free living conditions among adults. This device has possible application in treating a variety of important health concerns
Can differences in physical activity by socio-economic status in European adolescents be explained by differences in psychosocial correlates? A mediation analysis within the Helena (Healthy Lifestyle …
Objective Socio-economic status (SES) has been positively associated with physical activity (PA) levels in adolescents. In order to tackle these social inequalities, information is needed about the underlying mechanisms of this association. The present study aimed to investigate the potential mediating role of psychosocial correlates of PA on the relationship between SES and PA in European adolescents. Design Cross-sectional study testing the med…
Nutritional knowledge in European adolescents
Objective To build up sufficient knowledge of a ‘healthy diet’. Here, we report on the assessment of nutritional knowledge using a uniform method in a large sample of adolescents across Europe. Design A cross-sectional study. Setting The European multicentre HELENA (Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence) study conducted in 2006–2007 in ten cities in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Greece (one inland and one island city), Hung…
Recommended levels and intensities of physical activity to avoid low‐cardiorespiratory fitness in European adolescents
This study shows sex- and intensity-specific PA thresholds to discriminate between adolescents with a healthy CRF from those with a less favorable or unhealthy CRF level
Assessing, understanding and modifying nutritional status, eating habits and physical activity in European adolescents
Objectives To identify the main knowledge gaps and to propose research lines that will be developed within the European Union-funded ‘Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence’ (HELENA) project, concerning the nutritional status, physical fitness and physical activity of adolescents in Europe. Design Review of the currently existing literature. Results The main gaps identified were: lack of harmonised and comparable data on food int…
