Early and young child feeding in South Africa
Stunting under the age of two years remains a significant public health problem in South Africa. This study used data from the 2023/24 Food-EPI assessment to benchmark implementation of public nutrition policy related to undernutrition to develop recommendations for priority policy action. The assessment included ratings by an expert panel including academics, civil society, and government representatives (n = 13). Implementation of food fortific…
Tool for assessing food industry commitments and practices to address the double burden of malnutrition
BACKGROUND: Many low- and middle-income countries face a double burden of malnutrition, i.e., a co-occurrence of undernutrition with overweight, obesity, or other diet-related noncommunicable diseases. In an increasingly connected global food system, multinational and domestic food industry actors - through their commercial practices and corporate political activity - both contribute to the double burden of malnutrition and hold potential to addr…
The impact of tiered soft drink taxes in Europe on mean sales-weighted sugar content of soft drinks
Varying effect sizes emphasize the importance of considering specific tax design, co-interventions and contextual factors when implementing tax policies. Further research could help to shed light on these variations and to achieve a higher level of accuracy and precision in the effect estimates
Drivers and levers of the double burden of malnutrition in Cape Town, South Africa
South Africa faces a high burden of malnutrition, including undernutrition, overweight, obesity, and diet-related non-communicable diseases. This coexistence and interaction of multiple forms of malnutrition within individuals and communities across the life-course is referred to as the double burden of malnutrition (DBM) and has complex, interrelated causes that need to be concurrently addressed. This qualitative study explored the drivers and p…
Examining public support for comprehensive policy packages to tackle unhealthy food environments
Objective: This study examines public support – and its drivers – for comprehensive policy packages (i.e. bundles of coherent policy measures introduced together) aimed at improving food environments. Design: Participants completed an online survey with a choice-based conjoint experiment, where they evaluated pairs of policy packages comprising up to seven distinct food environment measures. After choosing a preferred package or opting for a sing…
The extent of outdoor food and beverage advertising surrounding primary and secondary schools in poorly resourced townships in Cape Town, South Africa
The results highlight a concerning level of exposure to unhealthy food and beverage advertisements around schools, particularly secondary schools in low-income townships. This could have implications for the dietary choices and health of students in these areas. The findings underscore the need for policy interventions and community awareness programs to address and regulate the advertising environment around schools, promoting healthier food and…
Nutrition policies in Germany
Objective: To systematically assess Germany’s nutrition policies, to benchmark them against international best practices and to identify priority policy actions to improve population-level nutrition in Germany. Design: We applied the Food Environment Policy Index (Food-EPI), a methodological framework developed by the International Network for Food and Obesity/non-communicable Diseases Research, Monitoring and Action Support (INFORMAS) network. Q…
Evidence-related framing in the German debate on sugar taxation
Background: Taxation of sugar and sugar-sweetened beverages is considered a key policy for improving population-level nutrition. Implementation is influenced by the way evidence is used and framed in public debates. At this time, no sugar tax has been implemented in Germany. Aims and objectives: This study aims to deepen the understanding of the political dynamics that influence the adoption of sugar taxes by analysing the use of evidence in the …
Stakeholder Involvement in Systematic Reviews
Case study 1 describes stakeholder involvement in setting systematic review priorities
Voluntary industry initiatives to promote healthy diets
Objective To analyse the scope and content of the nutrition pledge announced by Lidl. Design We applied the approach recommended by the private-sector module of the INFORMAS (International Network for Food and Obesity Research, Monitoring and Action Support) food environment monitoring framework and qualitative content analysis to Lidl’s nutrition pledge. Setting Global. Subjects The nutrition pledge of Lidl, Europe’s largest food retailer. Resul…
Poverty-related and neglected diseases – an economic and epidemiological analysis of poverty relatedness and neglect in research and development
BACKGROUND: Economic growth in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) has raised interest in how disease burden patterns are related to economic development. Meanwhile, poverty-related diseases are considered to be neglected in terms of research and development (R&D). OBJECTIVES: Developing intuitive and meaningful metrics to measure how different diseases are related to poverty and neglected in the current R&D system. DESIGN: We measured how di…
