Red and processed meat (RPM) intake varies widely globally. In some high-income countries (HIC) the last decade has witnessed an overall decline or stabilisation in consumption of RPM, contrast to emerging economies where its continues increase with rising income rapid urbanisation. The production RPM have become major concerns regarding environmental impacts livestock particular, but also because associations between high diet-related non-communicable disease.

Dietary assessment is complex, and strategies to select the most appropriate dietary tool (DAT) in epidemiological research are needed. The DIETary Assessment Tool NETwork (DIET@NET) aimed establish expert consensus on Best Practice Guidelines (BPGs) for using self-report. BPGs were developed Delphi technique. Two rounds conducted. A total of 131 experts invited, these 65 accepted, with 48 completing round I 51 II. In all, a 57 from North America, Europe, Asia Australia commented 47...

Background Internationally, the prevalence of adults with obesity is a major public health concern. Few studies investigate explanatory pathways between fast-food outlets and body mass index (BMI). We use structural equation modelling to explore an alternative hypothesis existing research using area-level deprivation as predictor BMI diet quality mediators. Methods Adults (n=7544) from wave II Yorkshire Health Study provided self-reported diet, height weight (used calculate BMI). Diet was...

To obtain information useful to asthma care in a relatively poor, high prevalence population, focus group study was undertaken with 72 parents of children or recurrent wheezing. There reasonable level understanding the causes asthma, although variable acceptance diagnosis. Willingness undertake home management acute episodes and environmental control measures high. Reported treatment characterized by reliance on syrups, use remedies, resistance inhaled therapy, low compliance prescribed...
Existing systematic reviews aimed at comparing effectiveness of childhood obesity treatment interventions are limited by a lack quality in the conduct and reporting trials this area. This study to identify number types primary secondary outcomes used within treatments determine degree which these correctly report their use outcome measures. A literature review was conducted phase II (i.e. pilot feasibility studies) III (e.g. determining effectiveness) across 11 databases. Data were extracted...
<h3>Background</h3> Accurate assessment of dietary intake is important for planning, implementing health promotion and when evaluating the effectiveness public interventions. However, measuring one most challenging aspects research as no method can measure without error. Therefore, strategies that support researchers to choose appropriate will help strengthen in this field. This study, undertaken Diet@net consortium aims establish expert consensus on best practice guidelines (BPG) carrying...
Abstract Background: Global policy and guidelines for low back pain (LBP) management promote physical activity self-management yet adherence is poor a decline in outcomes common following discharge from treatment. Health coaching has been found to be effective at improving exercise adherence, self-efficacy, social support individuals with chronic conditions, may an acceptable, cost-effective way people the community treatment LBP. Aim: This qualitative study aimed understand aspects of...
