Abstract:

Background: Obesity has emerged as a major public health problem across the globe. Unfortunately, all the efforts, to date, to treat obesity have limited success. Despite the increased publicity on health and economic consequences, its prevalence continues to rise, even in countries that were previously battling under-nutrition. The annual weight gain which may lead to obesity if it remains uncontrolled, is small, averaging 0.7-1.0kg/year. Aiming to halt this small weight gain could be a solution towards combating the obesity epidemic and thus reduce its prevalence. One of the critical life stages where weight gain occurs is the transition between adolescence and young adulthood and especially evident in those attending higher education in the US. There is very limited data from the UK on the magnitude of weight gain in this population. This thesis aimed to explore the weight changes occurring during that life-stage, identify factors affecting those weight changes, explore weight gain prevention data and design and test interventions aiming to prevent any weight gain. Methods: Several studies were carried out during this PhD programme in order to answer all the research questions. Three systematic reviews were employed to examine 1) weight changes in young adulthood, 2) weight gain prevention studies in young adulthood and 3) the effect of calorie-labelling on calories purchased as an anti-obesity measure. A pilot study was carried out to test and explore methodologies for collecting data from young adults on lifestyle and lifestyle changes. A qualitative study was carried out to supplement the data from the pilot study on the importance of any weight changes for young adults. A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out to examine the weight changes and lifestyle changes occurring during the first year of studies in young adults. An interrupted time-series study was carried out to test the hypothesis that calorie-labelling might have an effect on preventing weight gain in young adults. A cross-sectional study was carried out to test the effect of calorie-labelling on sales and choices in independent catering facilities where young adults represent a significant proportion of the customers. Lastly, a randomised trial was carried out to test the hypothesis than on-line programmes based on two different behavioural theories could help young adults to avoid any unwanted weight gain. Results: The systematic literature review of weight changes in young adults identified 27 studies reporting a mean weight increase of 0.7-3.75kg in those attending higher education. The pilot study examining methodologies and weight changes in young adults attending higher education in the UK found a weight increase between 0.5-5.5kg by 56% of the participants and the best recruitment method to be the on-line method compared to mail or in-person recruitment. The prospective study that looked at weight changes among first-year students attending a large university in the UK found a weight change of 1.8kg in a 9-month period. Baseline weight explained 48% of the variation observed in weight changes. Despite the belief that physical activity or consumption of fruit and vegetables is linked to weight management, neither of these protected against weight gain. The literature review on weight gain prevention studies among young adults, identified twelve studies (five of those conducted in higher education settings). Six of the studies found an effect on preventing weight gain or maintaining weight. No specific techniques were identified to be more effective as the studies that found an effect followed similar techniques with those that did not. The systematic review and meta-analysis on the effect of calorie-labelling on calories chosen/purchased identified seven studies. Overall, there was no effect of calorie-labelling on calories chosen/purchased, however customers noticing the calorie-labels, reduced the calories chosen/purchased by 124.5kcal. Students are generally supportive of the presence of calorie information in a range of products and settings including alcohol products. In the time-interrupted study which was conducted over two years, young adults that were exposed to calorie information did not gain the expected weight observed in young adults in the same setting in the year prior to the implementation of calorie-labelling. The cross-sectional study conducted in an independent catering outlet examined the effect of calorie-labelling on sales of products. Prominent calorie-labelling led to substantial reduction in sales of all labelled products but mostly among those that were high calorie products. The randomised controlled trial led to weight loss among those who were randomised to the intervention groups while those in the control group gained the anticipated weight over a 9-month period. Conclusion: Young adults in the UK gain weight when starting higher education. The weight-gain is similar to that observed in young adults in higher education in other countries but higher than the weight gain observed in the general population. Interventions based on different behavioural models were all successful at abolishing this weight–gain. Applying these interventions in a larger scale or making them part of future public health policies could be a significant step towards halting the obesity epidemic.

Abstract:

Public health campaigns might not be universally helpful and could have detrimental consequences. The current investigation explored the effects of obesity prevention campaigns. Their impact was assessed using an experiment in which participants were randomized to view either weight focused obesity prevention campaigns or obesity prevention campaigns that did not use weight related terms. Results demonstrated that compared with campaigns without weight related terminology, weight focused campaigns increased negative perceptions of obesity and decreased self-efficacy for health behavior change. No differences in body satisfaction, thin-ideal internalization, state anxiety, or frequency of positive health behaviors were found based on the type of campaign viewed. Finally, exposure to both types of campaigns increased internalization of the thin-ideal. This study demonstrates that weight focused prevention messages pose serious public health consequences. Obesity prevention campaigns should refrain from using weight-related terminology and instead emphasize the positive health consequences of a healthy diet and physical activity.

Class of 2005 Abstract
Objectives: To describe the physical activity and nutrition status of pharmacy students and determine the level of knowledge that these students have related to prevention of obesity. Methods: This was a descriptive study of the physical activity and nutrition status of pharmacy students and their knowledge related to the prevention of obesity. Data were collected from all the students using a paper and pencil questionnaire (a copy is provided in the Appendix). Students were asked to answer questions related to causes of obesity, definition of obesity using BMI, and physical activity relating to BMI. They were also asked to compare physical activity to drug therapy and define the recommended exercise guidelines by the Institute of Medicine. Students were asked to match physical activities with the intensity of the activity from light to vigorous. Students were also asked to list the fruits, vegetables, unsaturated fats, sweetened drinks, fried foods, and whole-grain foods consumed the day prior. Students listed the frequency of moderate and vigorous activities they participated in the week prior. Students chose the benefits of physical activity most important to them and were asked to rank the importance of physical activity, diet and obesity prevention to their health. Demographic data were collected on age, gender, ethnicity, height and weight. Results: Scores were derived for all questions and mean scores for the three classes were compared using student’s t-test for all groups. Mean scores and student’s t-test were also used to compare responses between genders. Implications: Overall, pharmacy students are lacking education in preventing obesity. By educating pharmacists about healthy eating and physical activity they, in turn, can educate the public on preventing obesity.

Abstract:

Abstract The aim of the thesis is to increase understanding about creation of value in health care. Value is created through knowledge processes in multiprofessional integrated care pathways (ICP) of childhood obesity and defined as health and well-being which benefits the patients, their families, health care organisations and society. An ICP is a practice among Finnish primary and special care which in this study is regarded as the value creating network. Knowledge processes take place in social networks of health professionals and families and information technology (IT) networks. The transdisciplinary study combines theories of Information Studies with theories of customer value in Business and Marketing research. The care and prevention of childhood obesity pursues permanent lifestyle changes through health counselling. Examination of value creation in networks based on knowledge processes has the potential to enhance health professionals’, patients’, and their families’ interaction in counselling. The qualitative case study involves the ICPs of two Finnish University Hospital districts. The empirical data, collected between 2009 and 2012, consists of semi-structured interviews of 30 health professionals in primary and special health care, of three children and their mothers, a family questionnaire (N=13), and care path instructions and memos of an ICP work group. The findings indicate that information practices and IT do not support knowledge processes and organisational learning in the ICP. Along with structural and IT-based boundaries in and between organisations, organisational culture confirms boundaries. Moreover, lack of time restricts the sharing of experiences. Knowing in health care is a complex phenomena; especially the care of childhood obesity appeared to include emotional aspects not addressed in previous research. Thus, the study contributes to theoretical knowledge by suggesting empathetic knowing to be included in the typology of knowing in the context of health care. Even if counselling was perceived well, it does not ensure permanent lifestyle changes. Actual value for the families is created in the everyday practices which should be supported by the environment. The theoretical framework can be tested further in similar constructions in health care organisations or in other ICPs to enhance Knowledge Management and value creation in health care
Tiivistelmä Tutkimus pyrkii lisäämään ymmärrystä siitä, miten arvoa luodaan lasten lihavuuden hoitoketjun tietoprosesseissa moniammatillisessa yhteistyössä. Hoitoketju on perusterveydenhuollon ja erikoissairaanhoidon välille luotu käytäntö, jota tarkastellaan arvoa luovana verkostona. Arvolla tarkoitetaan hyötyä, joka syntyy potilaille, heidän perheilleen, terveydenhuolto-organisaatioille ja yhteiskunnalle. Tietoprosessit muodostavat arvoverkoston ammattilaisten ja perheiden sosiaalisten verkostojen sekä hoitoketjun tietoverkostojen kautta. Tieteidenvälinen tutkimus yhdistää informaatiotutkimuksen teorioita liiketalouden tutkimuksen teorioihin asiakasarvon luomisesta. Lasten lihavuuden tärkein hoito- ja ennaltaehkäisykeino on terveysneuvonta, joka pyrkii pysyviin elämäntapamuutoksiin. Tietoprosessien tarkastelu arvoverkostoina mahdollistaa ammattilaisten ja perheiden vuorovaikutuksen kehittämisen terveysneuvonnassa. Laadullinen tapaustutkimus toteutettiin kahdessa suomalaisessa yliopistollisessa sairaanhoitopiirissä. Aineisto kerättiin vuosina 2009–2012. Se koostuu 30 terveydenhuollon ammattilaisen, kolmen potilaan ja heidän äitiensä teemahaastatteluista, 13 perheen lomakekyselyvastauksista sekä hoitopolkuohjeistuksista ja kokousmuistioista. Tulokset osoittavat, että tietoverkot ja informaatiokäytännöt eivät tue tietoprosesseja ja organisaatioiden oppimista hoitoketjussa. Rakenteellisten ja informaatio- ja viestintäteknologian luomien rajojen lisäksi erilaiset organisaatiokulttuurit muodostavat esteitä tietoprosessien etenemiselle. Kiire estää kokemusten jakamista. Tietämys ja osaaminen terveydenhuollossa ovat moniulotteisia seikkoja. Tutkimus nostaa esille lasten lihavuuden hoitoon liittyvät tunteet, joita ei ole tarkasteltu aikaisemmissa tutkimuksissa. Siten tulokset täydentävät teoriataustana sovelletun tietämisen typologiaa empaattisen tietämisen tyypillä terveydenhuollon kontekstissa. Perheet kokivat terveysneuvonnan hyväksi, mutta vaikutukset pysyviin elämäntapamuutoksiin eivät nouse vahvasti esille. Hoidon arvo muodostuu perheiden jokapäiväisen elämän käytännöissä, mitä myös ympäristön tulisi tukea. Tutkimuksessa sovellettua teoriaa ja viitekehystä voidaan testata vastaavissa yhteistoimintahankkeissa ja hoitoketjuissa. Niiden avulla voidaan kehittää arvoa luovia tietoprosesseja ja tietojohtamista terveydenhuollossa

Abstract:

Childhood obesity is a worldwide problem that can lead to adverse health conditions. In several rural Pennsylvania communities, over one third of elementary students are characterized as overweight, having a body mass index above the 85^th percentile. The purpose of the study was to investigate educational stakeholders' perspectives about school-based obesity-prevention programs. The conceptual framework focused on cognitive theory, the theory of planned behavior, and the trans-theoretical model of health behavior change, which postulates that an individual's readiness to change is the most important factor of intervention programs. Qualitative interview data were gathered from 18 educational stakeholders. Inductive code-based analysis led to categories and themes. Key findings revealed a variety of barriers that limited and prevented effective student-wellness initiatives: students' physical activity; family dynamics, schedules, and socioeconomic factors; lack of transportation limiting children's participation in physical activities; parental engagement and input on obesity-prevention initiatives; and cafeteria environment and meal offerings. Findings informed the development of a policy recommendation for a research-based nutrition education program for schools and a strategy to communicate students' cafeteria habits to parents. Recommendations include a heightened awareness on factors contributing to obesity, as well as better educator-led planning to make improvements to school-based programs. Implications for positive social change may be the potential to increase awareness of healthy behaviors and improved student health through obesity-prevention methods, exercise patterns, and dietary habits of youth. These healthy habits may reduce adverse health effects in adulthood, which could hold the potential to improve the health of the next generation.

Abstract:

The proportion of overweight and obese children in England has increased considerably since 1995. One in five children starting reception class is now overweight or obese. Proposed reasons for this are numerous and indeterminate. They include infant feeding methods, genetics, change in eating habits and patterns, and increased sedentary behaviours. The preschool years are considered to be an optimal time to intervene in an attempt to reverse this trend. However, interventions to prevent or treat overweight in preschool-age children in the UK are scarce, with most research being conducted in the US and Australia. Previous research has demonstrated some positive results in changing some health behaviours, however, positive trends in overall obesity rates are lacking. Further research to determine which prevention strategies and methods are acceptable and operational in a ‘real world’ setting is required. Ninety-eight per cent of UK preschool-aged children now attend some form of childcare. Preschool settings may provide valuable opportunities to access children and their families not only for promoting healthy lifestyles, but also to develop and evaluate behaviour-change interventions. This thesis presents a feasibility study of a behaviour-change nursery practitioner-led intervention conducted in four preschool centres in the North East of England. The study is underpinned by the MRC Framework: Developing and Evaluating Complex Interventions. The research was conducted in four phases: a preliminary qualitative study with parents of preschool children and nursery practitioners; development of a behavioural-change intervention; implementation of the intervention; and intervention evaluation. Qualitative data revealed underlying complex communication issues between practitioners and parents regarding food provision, and roles and responsibilities. Preschool centres appeared to have difficulties with enforcing school health policies. ‘Gatekeeper’ permission and lower-hierarchal compliance were on-going problems throughout the study. The majority of nursery practitioners and parents stated ‘liking’ and ‘finding’ the intervention methods and activities acceptable and positive changes in family health behaviours were reported. This study shows that a preschool centre behaviour-change intervention is feasible, however, as demonstrated, further work with nursery practitioners is required to determine how personal attitudes and school policy application can be enhanced to progress such an intervention. iii Feasibility studies of this type are important to inform further obesity prevention strategies research. The findings from this study are likely to have policy relevance and contribute to the body of literature.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Background: In both developed and developing countries, childhood obesity has reached epidemic levels. Obesity is associated with adverse health outcomes in children, including asthma and sleep apnea. The studies showed that breastfeeding is a protective factor of obesity in children. This study aimed to determine exclusive breastfeeding and prevention of obesity in children under five. Subjects and Method: This was a meta-analysis and systematic review conducted by search online published articles toward exclusive breastfeeding and obesity in children under five.Original studies published from 2003 to 2016 were obtained from PubMed, Science Direct, Springer Link, and Google Scholar databases. Keywords used “Children Under Five” AND “Breast Feeding” AND “non Breast Feeding” OR “Formula milk” OR “Infant Formula” AND “Obesity” OR “Body Mass Index”. The inclusion criteria were full text, in English language, using observational or cohort study design, and reporting adjusted odds ratio. The selected articles were analyzed using PRISMA guideline and Revman 5.3. Results: 6 studies from California, Massachusetts, China, German, Swedish, and Dutch, reported that exclusive breastfeeding was a protective factor of obesity in children under five (aOR= 0.95; 95% CI= 0.86 to 1.06; p= 0.360) with (I²= 82%, p= 0.001).

Abstract:

Obesity has become a pandemic that has been spreading for decades now. The treatment of diseases caused by obesity places a burden on the economy, with health care expenditures and even with indirect costs. Eating behaviour and self-control are considered to be the most important factors regarding the treatment and prevention of obesity. This study is looking for the answer to what level of self-control young consumers have, and how this affects their eating behavior and, through it, their body weight. Based on the results, it is concluded that the respondents do not necessarily judge their weight realistically. Self-control has a prominent role to play in preventing obesity. According to this research, individuals with weak selfcontrol are most characterized by emotional eating and eating for external influences, while those with strong self-control are characterized by restrained eating.

Abstract:

Review question / Objective: 1、Whether GLP-1 drugs have weight loss effect on obese people ? 2、Which GLP-1 drugs are most effective in weight loss among obese people ? Condition being studied: Obesity is an important public health issue that has been on the rise over the last decades. It calls for effective prevention and treatment. Bariatric surgery is the most effective medical therapy for weight loss in morbid obesity, but we are in need for less aggressive treatments. Glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonists are a group of incretin-based drugs that have proven to be productive for obesity treatment. Through activation of the GLP-1 receptor they not only have an important role stimulating insulin secretion after meals, but with their extrapancreatic actions, both peripheral and central, they also help reduce body weight by promoting satiety and delaying gastric emptying.

Abstract:

Background. Automated-entry consumer devices that collect and transmit patient-generated health data (PGHD) are being evaluated as potential tools to aid in the management of chronic diseases. The need exists to evaluate the evidence regarding consumer PGHD technologies, particularly for devices that have not gone through Food and Drug Administration evaluation. Purpose. To summarize the research related to automated-entry consumer health technologies that provide PGHD for the prevention or management of 11 chronic diseases. Methods. The project scope was determined through discussions with Key Informants. We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE (via EMBASE.com), In-Process MEDLINE and PubMed unique content (via PubMed.gov), and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews for systematic reviews or controlled trials. We also searched ClinicalTrials.gov for ongoing studies. We assessed risk of bias and extracted data on health outcomes, surrogate outcomes, usability, sustainability, cost-effectiveness outcomes (quantifying the tradeoffs between health effects and cost), process outcomes, and other characteristics related to PGHD technologies. For isolated effects on health outcomes, we classified the results in one of four categories: (1) likely no effect, (2) unclear, (3) possible positive effect, or (4) likely positive effect. When we categorized the data as “unclear” based solely on health outcomes, we then examined and classified surrogate outcomes for that particular clinical condition. Findings. We identified 114 unique studies that met inclusion criteria. The largest number of studies addressed patients with hypertension (51 studies) and obesity (43 studies). Eighty-four trials used a single PGHD device, 23 used 2 PGHD devices, and the other 7 used 3 or more PGHD devices. Pedometers, blood pressure (BP) monitors, and scales were commonly used in the same studies. Overall, we found a “possible positive effect” of PGHD interventions on health outcomes for coronary artery disease, heart failure, and asthma. For obesity, we rated the health outcomes as unclear, and the surrogate outcomes (body mass index/weight) as likely no effect. For hypertension, we rated the health outcomes as unclear, and the surrogate outcomes (systolic BP/diastolic BP) as possible positive effect. For cardiac arrhythmias or conduction abnormalities we rated the health outcomes as unclear and the surrogate outcome (time to arrhythmia detection) as likely positive effect. The findings were “unclear” regarding PGHD interventions for diabetes prevention, sleep apnea, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Most studies did not report harms related to PGHD interventions; the relatively few harms reported were minor and transient, with event rates usually comparable to harms in the control groups. Few studies reported cost-effectiveness analyses, and only for PGHD interventions for hypertension, coronary artery disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; the findings were variable across different chronic conditions and devices. Patient adherence to PGHD interventions was highly variable across studies, but patient acceptance/satisfaction and usability was generally fair to good. However, device engineers independently evaluated consumer wearable and handheld BP monitors and considered the user experience to be poor, while their assessment of smartphone-based electrocardiogram monitors found the user experience to be good. Student volunteers involved in device usability testing of the Weight Watchers Online app found it well-designed and relatively easy to use. Implications. Multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have evaluated some PGHD technologies (e.g., pedometers, scales, BP monitors), particularly for obesity and hypertension, but health outcomes were generally underreported. We found evidence suggesting a possible positive effect of PGHD interventions on health outcomes for four chronic conditions. Lack of reporting of health outcomes and insufficient statistical power to assess these outcomes were the main reasons for “unclear” ratings. The majority of studies on PGHD technologies still focus on non-health-related outcomes. Future RCTs should focus on measurement of health outcomes. Furthermore, future RCTs should be designed to isolate the effect of the PGHD intervention from other components in a multicomponent intervention.
