Background Helping consumers make healthier food choices is a key issue for the prevention of cancer and other diseases. In many countries, political authorities are considering implementation simplified labelling system to reflect nutritional quality products. The Nutri-Score, five-colour nutrition label, derived from Nutrient Profiling System British Food Standards Agency (modified version) (FSAm-NPS). How consumption foods with high/low FSAm-NPS relates risk has been studied in...
Abstract Objective To characterize meal patterns across ten European countries participating in the Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) calibration study. Design Cross-sectional study utilizing dietary data collected through a standardized 24 h diet recall during 1995–2000. Eleven predefined intake occasions period were assessed interview. In present descriptive report, analysed terms of daily number occasions, proportion reporting each occasion energy contributions...
The objective was to examine 10-year changes in dietary carbon footprint relative individual characteristics and food intake the unique longitudinal Västerbotten Intervention Programme, Sweden. Here, 14 591 women 13 347 men had been followed over time. Food assessed via multiple two study visits 1996-2016, using a 64-item frequency questionnaire. Greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) related intake, expressed as kg dioxide equivalents/1000 kcal day, were estimated. Participants classified into...
Background: Coffee and tea are among the most commonly consumed nonalcoholic beverages worldwide, but methodological differences in assessing intake often hamper comparisons across populations. We aimed to (i) describe coffee intakes (ii) assess their contribution of selected nutrients adults 10 European countries. Method: Between 1995 2000, a standardized 24-h dietary recall was conducted 36,018 men women from 27 Prospective Investigation into Cancer Nutrition (EPIC) study centres. Adjusted...
Abstract Objective To examine timing of eating across ten European countries. Design Cross-sectional analysis the Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) calibration study using standardized 24 h diet recalls collected during 1995–2000. Eleven predefined food consumption occasions were assessed recall interview. We present time meals snacks as well later:earlier energy intake ratio, with earlier later intakes defined 06.00–14.00 15.00–24.00 hours, respectively. Type III...
Abstract We recently reported that a 12‐week diet intervention among postpartum women produced weight loss of 12% after 1 year, compared to 5% in controls. Here, we present 2‐year results year unsupervised follow‐up. In total, 110 with self‐reported body mass index ≥27 kg/m 2 at 6–15‐week were randomized group (D‐group) or control (C‐group). D‐group received by dietitian followed monthly e‐mails up the 1‐year C‐group brochure on healthy eating. No contact was provided from years either...
Pregnancy has been identified as a contributor to obesity. We have shown that diet intervention postpartum produced 2-y weight loss of 8%. Here, we present the impact on cost-effectiveness and explore changes in quality life (QOL).A total 110 women with overweight/obesity were randomly assigned (D-group) or control (C-group). D-group received 12-wk within primary health care followed by monthly emails up 1-y follow-up. C-group brochure. Changes QOL measured using 36-item Short Form Health...
Food intake patterns provide a summary of dietary intake. Few studies have examined trends in food over time large, population-based studies. We and related sociodemographic individual characteristics the large Northern Sweden Diet Database during two windows 2000–2007 2008–2016. In total, 100 507 participants (51% women) who had filled 64-item frequency questionnaire provided background data between 2000 2016 were included. evaluated for women men separately 2008–2016, respectively. Latent...
To examine changes in intake across food groups during a weight loss trial that produced significant and sustainable lactating women receiving dietary treatment.At 10-14 wk postpartum, 61 overweight obese Swedish were randomized to 12-wk (D), exercise (E), combined (DE), or control (C) treatment. Food was assessed by 4-d weighed diet records which used seven from baseline 12 1 y after randomization. Differences choice between treatment (D+DE) no (E+C) examined using multivariate linear...
The objective of this study was to examine climate impact from diet across background and sociodemographic characteristics in a population-based cohort northern Sweden.A cross-sectional within the Västerbotten Intervention Programme. Dietary data 64-item food frequency questionnaire collected during 1996-2016 were used. Energy-adjusted greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) for all participants, expressed as kg carbon dioxide equivalents/day 4184 kJ (1000 kcal), estimated using life cycle analyses....
Abstract Background The present study aimed to assess dietary intake and evaluate the degree of agreement group‐level as measured by 24‐h recall against a 4‐day diet record among postpartum women with overweight obesity. Methods A cross‐sectional was conducted 110 Swedish body mass index ≥27 kg m −2 at 6–15 weeks who were recruited weight loss trial randomised intervention or control. One all prior randomisation. In addition, subsequently also before receiving treatment ( n = 54). Paired...
Dietary strategies that facilitate weight loss following pregnancy are poorly examined. Our aim was to examine dietary changes during a intervention in 61 overweight and obese postpartum Swedish women randomized 12‐wk (D), exercise (E), combined (DE) or control (C) treatment at 10‐14 wk postpartum. A 4‐d weighed diet record conducted baseline, post (12‐wk) 9 mo later (1‐y). Differences intake between receiving (D+DE, D‐groups) No (E+C, ND‐groups) were examined using linear regression. The...
