Using Photo-Elicitation Interviews in Health Research: Methodological, Ethical and Practical Reflections from Qualitative Case Studies
Photo-elicitation interviews are increasingly used within the health sciences, such as health psychology, to explore lived experience in ways that move beyond the limits of traditional interviewing. This paper provides a reflexive methodological, ethical, and practical examination of photo-elicitation through three distinct qualitative case studies; (1) food insecurity, (2) adjustment to a rare birthmark condition, and (3) social media experience…
Uptake, retention, and delivery of community dietary interventions within low socioeconomic populations
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate levels of uptake and retention in community-based dietary interventions for low socioeconomic status (SES) populations, to identify barriers and facilitators of uptake and retention, and to compare the characteristics of interventions with optimal and suboptimal uptake and retention. METHOD AND MEASURES: = 114 papers met the inclusion criteria. Data were narratively synthesised, and intervention content was coded for behav…
Biomarkers of diabetes risk in the National Diet and Nutrition Survey rolling programme (2008–2011)
This study describes the distribution of glycosylated haemoglobin (Hb A1c ) and glucose concentrations in the combined year 1 (2008–2009), year 2 (2009–2010) and year 3 (2010–2011) of the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) rolling programme. The NDNS rolling programme is a nationally representative survey of food consumption, nutrient intakes and nutritional status of people aged 1.5 years and over living in England, Wales, Scotland and No…
OP81 Not Eating Breakfast is Associated with increased Type 2 Diabetes Risk Markers in a Multiethnic Population of Children: The Child Heart and Health Study in England (CHASE)
Background Prevention of type 2 diabetes and one of its precursor obesity are important public health priorities both in adults and in children. In adults, not eating breakfast regularly has been associated with increased risks of obesity and possibly type 2 diabetes. However, little information is available on the influence of breakfast consumption on type 2 diabetes risk markers in children. We therefore examined the relations between self-repo…
OP19 Increased Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet Protects Memory Decline over 20 years in a Longitudinal Study
Background Cognitive decline is the first outward sign of dementia and represents a major public health effect. Evidence suggests that dietary patterns are associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk factors. A high quality diet such as Mediterranean diet might protect against Alzheimer’s disease, but its association with age-associated cognitive decline has been less explored. Aim The current analyses aim to examine the association b…
PP45a Use it, Don’t Lose it! The Role of Lifestyle Behaviours on 20-year Cognitive Decline
Background Cognitive decline represents a major public health impact on individuals and governments around the world. There is a well-established relationship between specific lifestyle behaviours and cognitive decline, but extremely limited research on the role of combined behaviours. The aim of these analyses was to examine the role of lifestyle behaviours (smoking, physical activity and dietary choice) separately and in combination on 20-year …
Nutrient composition of evening meals is associated with raised glycosylated haemoglobin levels in the 1946 British Birth Cohort
P2-118 Vitamin C intake from diary recordings and risk of breast cancer in the UK dietary cohort consortium
Introduction Vitamin C intake has been inversely associated with breast cancer risk in case-control studies, but not in meta-analyses of cohort studies using Food Frequency Questionnaires. No study has assessed this relationship prospectively using food diaries which may more accurately measure intake. Methods Estimated dietary vitamin C intake was derived from 4 to 7 day food diaries pooled from five prospective studies in the UK Dietary Cohort …
P2-8 Late night energy intake: Association with long-term risk of hypertension in the British birth cohort 1946
Background The role of circadian rhythm of energy and macronutrient intake in influencing cardiometabolic risk factors is increasingly recognised. However, little is known of the association between time of energy intake and long-term risk of hypertension. Objectives To examine the association between time of day of energy intake and risk of hypertension. Methods The analysis included 517 men and 635 women who were members of the MRC National Sur…
Nutritional composition of the diets of South Ssian, black African Caribbean and white European children in the UK: The Child Heart and Health Study in England
Design: Determinants of Adolescent Social well-being and Health (DASH) study: A cohort observational study.Setting: Schools in ten London boroughs with high proportions of the main ethnic minority groups, UK.Participants: White British (692), Black Caribbeans (670), Black Africans (772), Indians (384), and Pakistanis and Bangladeshis (402) children were surveyed in 2003/2004 (11-13 years) and followed up in 2005/2006 (14-16 years).Main outcome me…
