  • Substitution of pure fruit juice for fruit and sugar-sweetened beverages and cardiometabolic risk in European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic)-NL

    Open AccessFloor R Scheffers, Jolanda M A Boer et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2022

    Objective: Dietary guidelines on pure fruit juice differ between countries regarding the question whether pure fruit juice (without added sugars) is an acceptable substitute for fruit or should be avoided because of its comparable sugar content with that of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB). We modelled whether substituting pure fruit juice for fruit or SSB was associated with cardiometabolic risk. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Based o…

  • Potential health gains and health losses in eleven EU countries attainable through feasible prevalences of the life-style related risk factors alcohol, BMI, and smoking

    Open AccessStefan K Lhachimi, Wilma J Nusselder et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2016

    Smoking is still the risk-factor with the largest potential health gains. BMI, however, has comparatively large effects on morbidity. Future research should aim to improve knowledge of how policies can influence and shape individual and aggregated life-style-related risk-factor behavior

  • Generation shifts in smoking over 20 years in two Dutch population-based cohorts aged 20–100 years

    Open AccessEnrico Raho, Sandra H van Oostrom et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    The future burden of disease due to smoking is expected to be reduced among men, but not yet among women. Educational differences in smoking-related health problems are expected to increase

  • Type 2 diabetes patients’ preferences and willingness to pay for lifestyle programs

    Open AccessJorien Veldwijk, Mattijs S Lambooij et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    When deciding whether to participate in a lifestyle program, T2DM patients are mostly driven by low levels of out-of-pocket costs. Thereafter, they prefer individual consultation and high levels of anticipated outcomes with respect to weight loss

  • Adopting an Active Lifestyle During Adulthood and Health-Related Quality of Life

    Sandra H van Oostrom, Henriette A Smit et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2012References: 25

    Objectives. We examined health-related quality of life in adults who became physically active at recommended levels over a 10-year period compared with adults with different physical activity patterns. Methods. We examined men and women aged 26 to 70 years (mean [SD] = 47.4 [10.1]) in the Doetinchem Cohort Study 3 times between 1995 and 2009. We distinguished participants who became physically active (n = 618), remained active (n = 1286), remaine…

  • The Dynamo-HIA Model

    Open AccessH C Boshuizen, Stefan K Lhachimi et al.ARTICLEDemography2012Cited by: 2References: 27

    In Health Impact Assessment (HIA), or priority-setting for health policy, effects of risk factors (exposures) on health need to be modeled, such as with a Markov model, in which exposure influences mortality and disease incidence rates. Because many risk factors are related to a variety of chronic diseases, these Markov models potentially contain a large number of states (risk factor and disease combinations), providing a challenge both technical…

  • Quantification of the energy gap in young overweight children. The Piama birth cohort study

    Open AccessSaskia W van den Berg, Jolanda M A Boer et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    An energy gap of about 289-320 kJ per day over a number of years can make the difference between normal weight and overweight in young children. Closing the energy gap in overweight children can be achieved by relatively small behavior changes. However, much more effort is required to lose the excess weight gained

  • The development of socio-economic health differences in childhood

    Open AccessAnnemarie Ruijsbroek, Alet H Wijga et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2011

    Socio-economic health disparities already occur very early in life. Socio-economic disadvantage takes its toll on child health before birth, and continues to do so during childhood. Therefore, action to reduce health disparities needs to start very early in life, and should also address socio-economic differences in maternal age at birth, breastfeeding habits, and day-care centre attendance

  • Comorbidities of obesity in school children

    Open AccessAlet H Wijga, Salome Scholtens et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    Childhood obesity is not merely a risk factor for disease in adulthood, but obese children may experience more illness and health related problems already in childhood. The high prevalence of the outcomes studied implies a high burden of disease in terms of absolute numbers of sick children
