Recommended dietary behavior and physical activity policies and practices were synthesized into broad themes using the Analysis Grid for Environments Linked to Obesity framework, and the quality of included guidelines appraised. Our search identified 38 eligible publications mostly from the US and Australia. Identified guidelines were largely consistent in their recommendation and frequently addressed the physical and sociocultural environment and were well-aligned with research evidence. Broader consideration of policy and economic environments may be needed to increase the impact of such policies and guidelines within the ECEC setting.]]> Thu 23 Mar 2023 09:58:50 AEDT ]]> Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of healthy eating, physical activity and obesity prevention policies, practices or programs in family day care: A mixed method systematic review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48221 Sat 11 Mar 2023 12:36:40 AEDT ]]> Investigating the role of inorganic dietary nitrate in the context of overall diet quality for cardiovascular disease prevention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35628 Mon 23 Sep 2019 16:44:28 AEST ]]> Parent-reported compared with researcher-measured child height and weight: impact on body mass index classification in Australian pre-school aged children https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53543 0.8 = “excellent”; 0.61-0.8 = “good”; 0.41-0.60 = “moderate”; 0.21 and 0.4 = “fair [weak]”; <0.2 = “poor”). Results: Overall, 89 children were included (mean age: 4.7 years; 59.5% female). The mean difference between parent-reported and researcher-measured data were small (BMI z-score: mean difference −0.01 [95% CI: −0.45 to 0.44]). There was “fair/weak” agreement between parent-categorised child BMI compared with researcher-measured data (Cohen's Kappa 0.24 [95% CI: 0.06 to 0.42]). Agreement was poor (Cohen's kappa <0.2) for female children, when reported by fathers or by parents with a BMI > 25 kg/m2. Conclusion: There was “fair/weak” agreement between parent-reported and measured estimates of child weight status. So What?: Parent's report of weight and height may be a weak indicator of adiposity at the level of individuals however it may be useful for aggregate estimates.]]> Mon 04 Dec 2023 15:58:46 AEDT ]]> The effectiveness of interventions delivered using digital food environments to encourage healthy food choices: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45458 p = 0.01). Meta-analyses including three studies each suggest that these interventions may also be effective in reducing the fat (SMD: −0.83, p = 0.04), saturated fat (SMD: −0.7, p = 0.008) and sodium content (SMD: −0.43, p = 0.01) of online food purchases. Given the ongoing growth in the use of online food ordering systems, future research to determine how we can best utilize these systems to support public health nutrition is warranted.]]> Fri 28 Oct 2022 14:30:21 AEDT ]]>
