Tracking of energy and nutrient intakes from adolescence to young adulthood: The experiences of the Young Hearts Project, Northern Ireland
ObjectiveTo assess tracking of energy and nutrient intakes between adolescence and young adulthood.DesignLongitudinal study of a random sample of adolescents (aged 15 years at baseline). The extent of tracking of dietary intakes (assessed by diet history) was investigated using weighted kappa statistics (κ).SettingNorthern Ireland population survey.SubjectsAdolescents who participated in the Young Hearts Project, Northern Ireland at age 15 years,…
Childhood obesity prevention studies: Lessons learned and to be learned
Objective To provide an overview of methodological issues in the design, delivery and evaluation of childhood obesity prevention programmes. Design Review of existing literature. Setting International. Results Interventions have varied considerably with regard to their design, subject selection criteria, sample size, attrition rates, intervention components and duration of both the intervention and the follow-up phases. However, overall, there is…

Macronutrient intakes and food sources in Irish adults: Findings of the North/South Ireland Food Consumption Survey
Objective To describe macronutrient intakes and food sources of the adult population in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and to assess adherence of this population to current dietary recommendations. Design A cross-sectional food consumption survey collected food intake data using a 7-day food diary. Setting Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland between October 1997 and October 1999. Subjects One thousand three hundred and seve…
Analyses of the anthropometric data from the North/South Ireland Food Consumption Survey
Objective To obtain measured anthropometric data for weight, height and other parameters not previously measured in the Irish population such as waist and hip circumferences and body composition. Design A cross-sectional survey. Weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference and body composition were measured according to standard procedures. Setting Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, 1997–1999. Subjects Random representative s…
Childhood obesity in Europe: A growing concern
Estimation of the prevalence and secular trends in paediatric obesity in Europe is impeded by methodological problems in the definition of obesity and the paucity of data sets that mirror the demographic, cultural and socioeconomic composition of the European population. The available prevalence data show that paediatric obesity is increasing throughout Europe but the patterns vary with time, age, sex and geographical region. The highest rates of…
An evaluation of energy intakes and the ratio of energy intake to estimated basal metabolic rate (EI/BMR est ) in the North/South Ireland Food Consumption Survey
Objective To examine energy intakes (El), their ratio to estimated basal metabolic rate (BMR est ) and the contribution of food groups to energy intake in the North/South Ireland Food Consumption Survey. Design and setting Random sample of adults from the populations of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Food intake data were collected using a 7-day food diary. Body weight and height were measured and EI/BMR est was calculated from rep…
Physical activity patterns in a nationally representative sample of adults in Ireland
Objective To evaluate habitual levels of physical activity in a nationally representative sample of adults in Ireland. Design Cross-sectional survey using a self-administered questionnaire. Usual levels of work, recreational and household activities were evaluated in relation to anthropometric, demographic and socio-economic characteristics. The amount and intensity of all activities were quantified by assigning metabolic equivalents (METS) to ea…
The North/South Ireland Food Consumption Survey: Survey design and methodology
Objective The purpose of this survey was to establish a database of habitual food and drink consumption in a representative sample of Irish adults aged 18-64 years. Design A cross-sectional food consumption survey was carried out. Food intake data were collected using a 7-day estimated food diary. Anthropometric data included measurements of weight, height, waist and hip circumferences and body composition using bioelectrical impedance analysis. …
