Objective: This study aimed (1) to characterise the use and prevalence of nutrition and health claims (NHC) and (2) to examine the association between NHC and the potential presence of Health Canada’s front-of-pack (FOP) nutrition symbol indicating high saturated fats, sugars and/or Na on a sample of Canadian prepackaged food products. Design: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on five categories of prepackaged food products. Label componen…
Nutritional portrait of processed foods purchased in Québec (Canada), 2016–2022
Objective: The Food Quality Observatory synthetises the nutritional composition of fifteen processed food categories commonly purchased in Québec (Canada). We assessed how the new Canadian front-of-pack (FoP) labelling regulation of a ‘high in’ symbol, to be implemented as of January 1, 2026, would be potentially reflected in these categories and how simulations of reformulation would impact the presence of the symbol. Design: Nutritional informa…
Association between the nutritional quality of Canadian packaged foods and their prices
Objective: To evaluate the association between nutritional quality and food prices within the same food category by: (1) identifying price differences among products above or below the nutrient thresholds of the Canadian front-of-package nutrition symbol and (2) investigating price differences among products with differing numbers of nutrients exceeding these thresholds. Design: This study is part of the Food Quality Observatory’s work, Québec (C…
Accompany caregivers to optimize learning with people living with a major neurocognitive disorder
For caregivers of people living with major neurocognitive disorders (MNCD), adapting and applying methods optimizing learning (MOL) to a specific situation, based on preserved cognitive skills, can be challenging. This study aimed to 1) co-develop workshops, a web application and accompanying materials to support the operationalization of MOL; 2) better understand the factors influencing caregivers’ use of MOL, and 3) evaluate the perceived effec…
Anaaïs
Les proches aidants d’aînés (PAA) jouent un rôle essentiel dans le maintien à domicile. Il est donc important de leur offrir du répit. Par contre, les services de répit demeurent peu utilisés, notamment de par leur manque de flexibilité. Pour répondre à cette problématique, l’Association Aidons nos Aînés et nos Aidants a mis sur pied le projet ANAAÏS pour le développement et l’implantation d’une plateforme de demande de répit en ligne en Guadelou…

This systematic integrative review provides a unique pioneering perspective on community support practices in social, community, and cooperative housing, improving our understanding of the practice and its outcomes. Two research questions guided this work: 1) What are the community support practices in social and community housing serving individuals in the context of socioeconomic deprivation in permanent housing structures? And 2) What are the …
La réponse à l’insécurité alimentaire au temps de la Covid-19
Au Québec, l’arrivée de la COVID-19 en mars 2020 a rapidement mis l’insécurité alimentaire à l’avant-scène. L’enjeu, présent et connu depuis longtemps, semble maintenant prendre une ampleur inédite. Avant la pandémie, la littérature sur l’organisation et le soutien social et communautaire révélait déjà la prévalence d’une réponse à l’insécurité alimentaire dominée par l’aide d’urgence, la philanthropie et l’action a posteriori . Il était déjà dém…
Impact of a Web-Based Nutrition Intervention on Eating Behaviors and Body Size Preoccupations among Adolescents
We aimed to evaluate the impact of a web-based school nutrition intervention on eating behavior traits, body weight concern, body size perception and body size dissatisfaction in adolescents.

Adolescents in the intervention, conducted between 2011 and 2013, participated in an online nutrition…

Design: The present study is part of the work conducted by the Food Quality Observatory, crea…
Factors influencing engagement and dietary behaviour change of mothers and their children in a blog-delivered healthy eating intervention
Objective: A randomised controlled trial found no evidence of an impact of a blog written by a registered dietitian (RD) on vegetables and fruit and milk and alternatives (e.g. soya-based beverages, yogurt and cheese) consumption – two food groups included in the 2007 version of the Canadian Food Guide – in mothers and their children compared with a control condition. To investigate these null findings, the current study explored participants’ pe…

The study presents a secondary outcome analysis of a randomised controlled trial in which 84 moth…
Associations among eating behaviour traits, diet quality and food labelling
Objective: To assess the associations among eating behaviour traits, food label use and diet quality and to evaluate if the association between eating behaviour traits and diet quality is mediated by food label use. Design: Eating behaviour traits were assessed using the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), the Restraint Scale and the Intuitive Eating Scale, whereas food label use was measured with the Label Reading Survey. Diet quality (Can…
Pros and cons of pet ownership in sustaining independence in community-dwelling older adults
Although community services support ageing-in-place, older adults often report feelings of loneliness and social isolation. Unmet emotional needs are associated with poorer health, reduced functional abilities and increased mortality in this population. Pet ownership is an avenue worth exploring to reduce these adverse outcomes. This scoping review maps main findings and identifies key gaps with respect to the pros and cons of pet ownership in co…

Pregnant women ( n = 79) were recruited in their 1st trimester of pregnancy and completed, at each trimester, three web-based 24-hour dietary recalls, from which the Canadian Healthy Eating Index (HEI) was calculated. Physical activity, nutrition knowledge, and socio-demogra…

Convergent mixed-methods design was …
Leisure participation in frail and pre-frail older adults
This descriptive study aimed to determine whether frail and pre-frail seniors know about specific compensatory strategies that healthcare professionals believe would foster their engagement in leisure activities, and whether they are motivated to use these strategies. Knowledge and motivation toward compensatory strategies were assessed in 26 community-dwelling older adults (80+) with valid and reliable rating scales. Strategies such as Taking br…

Mate selection seems to be based to some extent on appearance and physique. Assortative mating suggests that romantic partners select each other based on their similarity in important characteristics. Two studies examined the similarity in physiques of members of romantic couples. Study 1 found that the physical measurements of brides-to-be were positively correlated with those of their fiancés, although the brides were lighter and shorter than t…

Factors influencing the adoption of a healthy eating campaign by federal cross-sector partners
Understanding factors that influence cross-sector adoption of nutrition initiatives can help decision makers target the most appropriate partners to advance public health objectives. Government health agencies are likely to find strong partners in organizations that share the same values as the initiative, have positive attitudes towards health, are extremely implicated in social causes and value the notion of partnership
