A Randomised Control Trial Investigating the Efficacy of the MapMe Intervention on Parental Ability to Correctly Categorise Overweight in Their Child and the Impact on Child BMI Z-Score Change at 1 Ye…
Research suggests parental ability to recognise when their child has overweight is limited. It is hypothesised that recognition of child overweight/obesity is fundamental to its prevention, acting as a potential barrier to parental action to improve their child's health-related behaviours and/or help seeking. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of an intervention (MapMe) to improve parental ability to correctly categorise th…
Impact of a health marketing campaign on sugars intake by children aged 5–11 years and parental views on reducing children’s consumption
A health marketing campaign had a positive impact in reducing sugars intake but reductions in sugars were not sustained. Parents want to reduce their child's sugars intake but societal barriers and confusion over which sources of sugars to avoid hamper efforts to change
Prevalence and validity of self-reported smoking in Indigenous and non-Indigenous young adults in the Australian Northern Territory
Self-reported smoking prevalence was 68% in the ABC and 14% in the TEC. Among the self-reported non-smokers, the median cotinine levels were higher in the ABC (33 ng/ml) than in the TEC (5 ng/ml), with greater percentages of reported non-smokers in the under 50 ng/ml group in the TEC than in the ABC CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of smoking was much higher in the ABC than in the TEC. The higher cotinine levels in ABC non-smokers may reflect an underesti…
OP20 The Effects of Social Mobility on Blood Pressure at Ages 50 and 60 years- In the Newcastle Thousand Families Study
Background Many studies have suggested an association between early life circumstances and adult health. Relatively few studies have explored the effects on health of social mobility, the movement of an individual through social classes throughout their lifecourse. This study aimed to examine the effect of social mobility on blood pressure at age 50 and 60 years. Methods Using data from the Newcastle Thousand Families study, a prospective birth c…
O5-6.4 Lifecourse predictors of physical activity at age 50 years
Introduction Beneficial effects of physical activity (PA) on health are well known, but limited evidence exists for lifecourse factors that may influence physical activity levels in adulthood. Our aim was to investigate the relative contributions of a range of factors from across life to variations in PA levels in the Newcastle 1000 Families Study. Methods Detailed information was collected prospectively during childhood. At age 50 years, 574 stu…
P2-372 Rates of childhood cancer in females remain lower than expected in developing countries
A decade ago it was reported that childhood cancer incidence was higher in boys than in girls in many countries, particularly in those with low gross domestic product and relatively high infant mortality rates. Reports from developing countries have since agreed that socio-economic or cultural rather than biological factors are likely to be responsible. The aim of this study was to investigate further the association between cancer registration s…
P1-492 Predictors of childhood physical activity
Introduction Conflicting evidence exists for associations between birth weight and childhood physical activity (PA) levels. It is important to know what other, potentially modifiable, factors influence PA in children given its' association with adiposity. Our aim was to identify predictors of childhood PA levels in the Gateshead Millennium Study (GMS), a population based cohort of 1029 infants born in 1999–2000 in Gateshead, Northern England. Met…
