Effectiveness of NSW health get healthy telephone coaching in adults screened from general practices
The potential benefits of Get Healthy should be interpreted with caution as we have shown significant differences between self-reported and objectively measured values. More valid and objective evidence is needed to determine the program's effectiveness and cost-effectiveness
The Needs of School Professionals for Eating Disorder Prevention in Australian Schools: A Mixed-Methods Survey
(1) Background: School professionals such as teachers and counsellors are uniquely positioned to facilitate discussion around disordered eating and body image; however, little is known about the needs of school professionals with respect to eating disorder prevention. This study aimed to explore the needs and perceptions of Australian school professionals regarding eating disorder prevention. (2) Methods: School professionals were recruited to a …
Macronutrient Intake in Pregnancy and Child Cognitive and Behavioural Outcomes
Prenatal nutrient exposures can impact on brain development and disease susceptibility across the lifespan. It is well established that maternal macronutrient intake during pregnancy influences foetal and infant development. Therefore, we hypothesise that macronutrient intakes during pregnancy are correlated with cognitive development during early childhood. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between maternal macronutrient in…
Translation of the Weight-Related Behaviours Questionnaire into a Short-Form Psychosocial Assessment Tool for the Detection of Women at Risk of Excessive Gestational Weight Gain
The identification and measurement of psychosocial factors that are specific to pregnancy and relevant to gestational weight gain is a challenging task. Given the general lack of availability of pregnancy-specific psychosocial assessment instruments, the aim of this study was to develop a short-form psychosocial assessment tool for the detection of women at risk of excessive gestational weight gain with research and clinical practice applications…
Why We Eat the Way We Do: A Call to Consider Food Culture in Public Health Initiatives
The way we eat has changed dramatically in only a few decades. While definitions of food culture have previously existed, a clear description of modern food culture that can be used for health promotion is lacking. In this paper, we propose a concept of food culture for application within public health, what a positive food culture looks like compared to negative elements that have dominated in developed countries and the consequences for physica…
Diet Quality and Incident Non-Communicable Disease in the 1946–1951 Cohort of the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health
Diet quality indices (DQIs) can be useful predictors of diet-disease relationships, including non-communicable disease (NCD) multimorbidity. We aimed to investigate whether overall diet quality (DQ) predicted NCD, multimorbidity, and all-cause mortality. Women from the 1945-51 cohort of the Australia Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) were included if they: responded to S3 in 2001 and at least one survey between 2004 (S4) and 2016 (S8),…
Compliance with Multiple Health Behaviour Recommendations: A Cross-Sectional Comparison between Female Cancer Survivors and Those with no Cancer History
Lifestyle behaviours have an important role in preventing cancer, reducing treatment side effects, and improving survival and quality of life for cancer survivors. This study investigated adherence to multiple lifestyle behaviours among women with and without a cancer history. From the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health (ALSWH) surveys, 2407 cancer survivors and 3896 controls (cancer free population) were identified. Based on the Wor…
Rates and Predictors of Caesarean Section for First and Second Births: A Prospective Cohort of Australian Women
Diet quality before or during pregnancy and the relationship with pregnancy and birth outcomes: The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health
Objective To assess whether diet quality before or during pregnancy predicts adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes in a sample of Australian women. Design The Dietary Questionnaire for Epidemiological Studies was used to calculate diet quality using the Australian Recommended Food Score (ARFS) methodology modified for pregnancy. Setting A population-based cohort participating in the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH). Subjects…
Maternal diet during early childhood, but not pregnancy, predicts diet quality and fruit and vegetable acceptance in offspring
Studies have identified prenatal flavour exposure as a determinant of taste preferences in infants; however, these studies have focused on relatively small samples and limited flavours. As many parents struggle with getting children to accept a variety of nutritious foods, a study of the factors influencing food acceptance is warranted. The objective of this study was to determine whether exposure to a wider variety of fruit and vegetables and ov…
Women’s perceptions of information about alcohol use during pregnancy: A qualitative study
To make an informed decision about alcohol use during pregnancy, women must first be provided with the latest evidence-based information. As this study found a number of limitations with information provision, it is suggested that a systematic approach be adopted by healthcare professionals, in line with best-practice guidelines, to ensure all women are made aware of the alcohol recommendations for pregnancy
Nutrition in the first 500 days of life
At the turn of the millennium a call for action was made based on the recognition that little or no improvements has been made in maternal and child nutrition despite considerable economic growth in most developing countries in the last two decades. The 'first 1000 days of life' has been recognized as a critical period for the growth and development of young children, resulting in important attention being given to increased survival, breast-feed…
Predictors of post‐partum weight retention in a prospective longitudinal study
Post-partum weight retention (WR) occurs in 60-80% of women with some retaining ≥10 kg with contributing factors reported as pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain (GWG) and breastfeeding. A longitudinal study of pregnancy, with 12-month post-partum follow-up was conducted to determine factors associated with WR. Pregnant women (n = 152) were recruited from the John Hunter Hospital antenatal clinic in New South Wales, Austra…
Determinants of pregnant women's compliance with alcohol guidelines: A prospective cohort study
Most pregnant women did not comply with alcohol guidelines promoting abstinence. Prior alcohol behaviour was the strongest predictor of compliance during pregnancy, suggesting alcohol use should be addressed in women of child-bearing age. The study is limited by the relatively short timeframe between the official introduction of the 2009 guidelines and the date the surveys were sent out. Widespread dissemination of the guidelines may be necessary…
Listeria monocytogenes and diet during pregnancy; balancing nutrient intake adequacy v . adverse pregnancy outcomes
Objective To evaluate the impact of adherence to public health recommendations on Listeria monocytogenes food safety to limit exposure to potential food sources on micronutrient intakes of pregnant women and whether more frequent consumption of ‘high-risk’ foods increases risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes. Design A cohort study in women assessing Listeria exposure from an FFQ based on consumption of potential Listeria -containing food sources, …
Greater Maternal Weight Gain During Pregnancy Predicts a Large but Lean Fetal Phenotype: A Prospective Cohort Study
A Longitudinal Study of Maternal Folate and Vitamin B12 Status in Pregnancy and Postpartum, with the Same Infant Markers at 6 Months of Age
Diet and pregnancy status in Australian women
Objective To investigate and report the diet quality of young Australian women by pregnancy status. Design Pregnancy status was defined as pregnant ( n 606), trying to conceive ( n 454), had a baby in the last 12 months ( n 829) and other ( n 5597). The Dietary Questionnaire for Epidemiological Studies was used to calculate diet quality using the Australian Recommended Food Score (ARFS) methodology. Nutrient intakes were compared with the Nutrien…
