Research on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) has increased in recent decades, and significant need-gaps diagnostic treatment tools remain. Analysing bibliometric data from published research is a powerful method for revealing efforts, partnerships expertise. We aim to identify map NTD networks Germany their partners abroad enable an informed transparent evaluation of German contributions research.A SCOPUS database search articles with author affiliations that were between 2002 2012 was...
BackgroundEconomic growth in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) has raised interest how disease burden patterns are related to economic development. Meanwhile, poverty-related diseases considered be neglected terms of research development (R&D).ObjectivesDeveloping intuitive meaningful metrics measure different poverty the current R&D system.DesignWe measured with income relation factor (IRF), defined by ratio disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) per 100,000 inhabitants LMIC versus...
Globally, dietary factors are responsible for about one in five deaths. In many low- and middle-income countries different forms of malnutrition (including obesity undernutrition) can co-exist within the same population. This double burden is placing a disproportional strain on health systems, slowing progress towards universal coverage (UHC). Poor nutrition also impedes growth local economies, ultimately affecting global economy. this article, we argue that comprehensive primary care should...
The major shifts in the global burden of disease over past decades are well documented, but how these have affected inequalities health remains an underexplored topic. We applied comprehensive inequality measures to data from Global Burden Disease (GBD) study.Between-country relative was measured by population-weighted Gini Index, between-country absolute calculated using Slope Inequality Index (SII). Both were country-level GBD on age-standardised disability-adjusted life years.Absolute SII...

A high intake of sugar, in particular from sugar-sweetened soft drinks, increases the risk for obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and dental caries. Germany has pursued a national strategy sugar reduction drinks based on voluntary commitments by industry since 2015, but its effects are unclear.
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Exposure to marketing for foods high in sugar, salt, and fat is considered a key risk factor childhood obesity. To support efforts limit such marketing, the World Health Organization Regional Office Europe has developed nutrient profile model (WHO NPM). Germany’s Federal Ministry of Food Agriculture plans use this proposed new food legislation, but it not yet been tested Germany. The present study therefore assesses feasibility implications...
Abstract Advertising for unhealthy foods adversely affects children’s food preferences and intake. The German government published plans to restrict such advertising in February 2023 has revised them several times since. We assess the reach of current draft from June 2023, discuss its public health implications. show that across 22 product categories covered by law, median share products permitted marketing children stands at 55%, with an interquartile range 11–73%.

Zusammenfassung Die im März 2024 veröffentlichten Ernährungsempfehlungen der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ernährung (DGE) stellen eine zentrale Richtschnur die Ernährungspolitik in Deutschland dar. Tatsächlich besteht große Kluft zwischen diesen Empfehlungen und Ernährungsrealität. Anfang beschlossene Ernährungsstrategie Bundesregierung will einen Beitrag zum Schließen dieser leisten. bislang umgesetzten angekündigten Maßnahmen sind jedoch bei weitem nicht ausreichend, um gesetzten Ziele zu...
This study examines public support - and its drivers for comprehensive policy packages (i.e. bundles of coherent measures introduced together) aimed at improving food environments. Participants completed an online survey with a choice-based conjoint experiment, where they evaluated pairs comprising up to seven distinct environment measures. After choosing preferred package or opting single policy, participants designed their ideal package. Based on choices, respondents were categorised as...
