Method: Analysis was conducted using 2-month (immediate) and 12-month (sustained) follow-up data from a cluster randomised control trial of a home food environment intervention to increase the fruit and vegetable consumption of preschool children. Using recursive path analysis, a series of mediation models were created to investigate the direct and indirect effects of immediate and sustained changes to characteristics of the home food environment (fruit and vegetable availability, accessibility, parent intake, parent providing behaviour, role-modelling, mealtime eating practices, child feeding strategies, and pressure to eat), on the change in children's fruit and vegetable consumption. Results: Of the 394 participants in the randomised trial, 357 and 329 completed the 2- and 12-month follow-up respectively. The final mediation model suggests that the effect of the intervention on the children's fruit and vegetable consumption was mediated by parent fruit and vegetable intake and parent provision of these foods at both 2- and 12-month follow-up. Conclusion: Analysis of data from the Healthy Habits trial suggests that two environmental variables (parental intake and parent providing) mediate the immediate and sustained effect of the intervention, and it is recommended these variables be targeted in subsequent home food environment interventions to bring about immediate and sustained changes in child fruit and vegetable intake.

Few studies, however, have examined the effects of long-term exposure. Methods: A total of 45 625 participants were interviewed and included in this study, the participants came from the Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health, a prospective cohort in 6 low- and middle-income countries. Ambient PM2.5 levels were estimated for participants' communities using satellite data. A multilevel logistic regression model was used to examine the association between long-term PM2.5 exposure and stroke. Potential effect modification by physical activity and consumption of fruit and vegetables was assessed. Results: The odds of stroke were 1.13 (95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.22) for each 10 µg/m³ increase in PM2.5. This effect remained after adjustment for confounding factors including age, sex, smoking, and indoor air pollution (adjusted odds ratio=1.12; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-1.21). Further stratified analyses suggested that participants with higher levels of physical activity had greater odds of stroke, whereas those with higher consumption of fruit and vegetables had lower odds of stroke. These effects remained robust in sensitivity analyses. We further estimated that 6.55% (95% confidence interval, 1.97%-12.01%) of the stroke cases could be attributable to ambient PM2.5 in the study population. Conclusions: This study suggests that ambient PM2.5 may increase the risk of stroke and may be responsible for the astounding stroke burden in low- and middle-income countries. In addition, greater physical activity may enhance, whereas greater consumption of fruit and vegetables may mitigate the effect.]]> Thu 04 Nov 2021 10:40:23 AEDT ]]> Fruit and vegetables should be targeted separately in health promotion programmes: differences in consumption levels, barriers, knowledge and stages of readiness for change https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:9670 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:39:16 AEDT ]]> A pilot study of a telephone-based parental intervention to increase fruit and vegetable consumption in 3-5-year-old children https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15444 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:20:05 AEDT ]]> The benefits of nutrition and physical activity for cancer survivors https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11316 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:12:36 AEDT ]]> Functional characterization and RNAi-mediated suppression reveals roles for hexose transporters in sugar accumulation by tomato fruit https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:11226 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:11:14 AEDT ]]> Increased exposure to community-based education and 'below the line' social marketing results in increased fruit and vegetable consumption https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17442 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:15 AEDT ]]> Children's consumption of energy-dense nutrient-poor foods, fruit and vegetables: are they related?

Dietary alpha carotene, beta carotene, lutein, and beta cryptoxanthin intakes were significantly different between the two groups (P<0.01). Following HCFV there was a significantly greater increase in skin yellowness (b*) in both sun-exposed (P<0.001) and unexposed areas, (P<0.001), with no change in skin lightness (L*) or redness (a*). Significantly higher plasma alpha carotene (P=0.004), beta carotene (P=0.001), and lutein (P=0.028) concentrations were found following the HCFV intervention. Skin yellowness correlated with alpha carotene and beta carotene. Conclusions: Skin yellowness (b*) and fasting plasma carotenoid concentrations were significantly higher following HCFV than LCFV over 4 weeks.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:58 AEDT ]]> Can dietary intake influence perception of and measured appearance?

This study is a secondary data analysis of pregnant women (n=52) and their resulting offspring recruited for the Women and Their Children's Health study in NSW, Australia. Dietary intake of mothers and children was measured using food frequency questionnaires. Diet quality and vegetable and fruit variety were calculated using the Australian Recommended Food Score and the Australian Child and Adolescent Recommended Food Score. Associations between maternal and child diet quality and variety were assessed using Pearson's correlations and the total effect of in utero maternal pregnancy diet on childhood diet was decomposed into direct and indirect effect using mediation analysis. Maternal pregnancy and post-natal diet were both correlated with child diet for overall diet quality and fruit and vegetable variety (P<0.001). Mediation analyses showed that the indirect effect of maternal pregnancy diet on child diet was mediated through maternal post-natal diet, particularly for fruit (P=0.045) and vegetables (P=0.055). Nutrition intervention should therefore be aimed at improving diet quality and variety in mothers with young children, in order to subsequently improve eating habits of offspring.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:28 AEDT ]]> Genotypic differences in pod wall and seed growth relate to invertase activities and assimilate transport pathways in asparagus bean https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22243 Vigna unguiculata ssp. sesquipedialis) differing in pod wall and seed growth rates. Pod growth dominates over seed growth in genotype ‘Zhijiang 121’ but not in ‘Zhijiang 282’ in which a ‘bulging pod’ phenotype is apparent from 8 d post-anthesis (dpa) onward. Methods: Seed and pod wall growth rates and degree of pod-bulging were measured in the two genotypes together with assays of activities of sucrose-degrading enzymes and sugar content in pod wall and seed and evaluation of cellular pathways of phloem unloading in seed coat using a symplasmic fluorescent dye, 5(6)-carboxyfluorescein (CF). Key Results: Activities of cell wall, cytoplasmic and vacuolar invertases (CWIN, CIN and VIN) were significantly smaller in pod walls of ‘282’ than in ‘121’ at 10 dpa onwards. Low INV activities were associated with weak pod wall growth of ‘282’. In seed coats, CF was confined within the vasculature in ‘282’ but moved beyond the vasculature in ‘121’, indicating apoplasmic and symplasmic phloem unloading, respectively. Higher CWIN activity in ‘282’ seed coats at 6–8 dpa correlated with high hexose concentration in embryos and enhanced early seed growth. However, CWIN activity in ‘282’ decreased significantly compared with ‘121’ from 10 dpa onwards, coinciding with earlier commencement of nuclei endoreduplication in their embryos. Conclusions: The study shows genotypic differences between ‘bulging pod’ and ‘non-bulging’ phenotypes of asparagus bean in sucrose metabolism in relation to the pathway of phloem unloading in developing seed coats, and to pod and seed growth. Low INV activity in pod wall corresponds to its shortened and weak growth period; by contrast, the apoplasmic path in the seed coat is associated with high CWIN activity and strong early seed growth.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:17:31 AEDT ]]> Incorporation of fruit by-products on edible seaweed based films: A review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48225 Sat 11 Mar 2023 12:44:06 AEDT ]]> Intake of specific types of fruit and vegetables is associated with higher levels of skin yellowness in young women: a cross-sectional study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32853 Mon 30 Sep 2019 11:50:18 AEST ]]> Targeting multiple health risk behaviours among vocational education students using electronic feedback and online and telephone support: protocol for a cluster randomised trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21232 Mon 23 Sep 2019 14:20:10 AEST ]]> Healthy eating interventions delivered in early childhood education and care settings for improving the diet of children aged six months to six years https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51776 Mon 18 Sep 2023 15:03:50 AEST ]]> Investigation of the most suitable conditions for dehydration of Tuckeroo (Cupaniopsis anacardioides) fruits https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40415 Cupaniopsis anacardioides) is an Australian native tree, possessing high level bioactivity and antioxidant activity. To prevent deterioration of active constituents, appropriate drying practices must be determined. This study comparatively evaluates the impact of a range of drying methods including freeze-, microwave-, vacuum-, hot air- and sun-drying on the physical, phytochemical and antioxidant characteristics of Tuckeroo fruit. Experimental results showed that the five drying methods had significant impact on the physicochemical properties and antioxidant activity of the fruits. Of the drying methods assessed, freeze drying best preserved Tuckeroo activity, recording higher total phenolic content (TPC) (81.88 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/g), total flavonoids (TFC) (107.71 mg catechin equivalent (CAE)/g), proanthocyanidins (TPro) (83.86 mg CAE/g) and exhibited the strongest antioxidant capacity. However, vacuum drying at 65 kPa, 100 ℃ for 5 h is recommended for drying Tuckeroo fruits for further processing in a large scale as it also retained high levels of TPC, TFC and TPro (58 mg GAE/g, 91 mg CAE/g and 74 mg CAE/g, respectively).]]> Mon 11 Jul 2022 14:44:41 AEST ]]> 5-year follow-up of a telephone intervention to increase fruit and vegetable consumption in preschoolers: The 'healthy habits' cluster randomised trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40830 Fri 29 Jul 2022 14:33:30 AEST ]]> Interventions for increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in children aged five years and under (review) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36427 Fri 28 May 2021 12:24:03 AEST ]]> Interventions for increasing fruit and vegetable consumption in children aged five years and under https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40689 Fri 22 Jul 2022 11:57:15 AEST ]]> Association of parental investment of time and cost in food provisioning with adherence to dietary guidelines for the consumption of fruits, vegetables and non-core foods in pre-schoolers https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42976 Fri 09 Sep 2022 13:49:35 AEST ]]> The comparative validity of a brief diet screening tool for adults: the fruit and vegetable VAriety index (FAVVA) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47873 Fri 03 Feb 2023 15:04:00 AEDT ]]> Effects of fruit and vegetable consumption on risk of asthma, wheezing and immune responses: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32830 Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:34:06 AEDT ]]>
