Grey literature includes a range of documents not controlled by commercial publishing organisations. This means that grey can be difficult to search and retrieve for evidence synthesis. Much knowledge in public health, other fields, accumulates from innovation practice. may even sufficient formality meet the definition literature. We term this 'grey information'. information harder than On three previous occasions, we have attempted systematically synthesise health information—both summarise...
Food prepared out-of-home tends to be less healthful than food at home, with a positive association between frequency of consumption and both fat intake body fatness. There is little current data on who eats food. We explored socio-demographic correlates eating meals out take-away using from large, UK, population representative study.

The impact these variables on rising obesity trends is, however, mixed inconsistent, due to measurement issues cross‐sectional study designs. To further work area, review aimed summarize quantitative qualitative data relationship between variables, among adults children across high‐income countries. A mixed‐method systematic was...
The use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to objectively measure 'obesogenic' food environment (foodscape) exposure has become common-place. This increase in usage coincided with the development a methodologically heterogeneous evidence-base, subsequent perceived difficulties for inter-study comparability. However, when used together previous work, different types metric have often demonstrated some degree covariance. Differences and similarities between density proximity metrics,...
The environment in which we live impacts on our health. food available to us is likely influence what eat and subsequently weight. use of planning policy can be one way for both local national government help shape a healthy environment. In England there are three main types used promote environment: 1) restricting new fast-food outlets near schools; 2) if the density existing has surpassed certain threshold all retail outlets, 3) childhood obesity rates above threshold. 2015, Gateshead...
