Effective strategies for childhood obesity prevention via school based, family involved interventions : a critical review for the development of the Feel4Diabetes-study school based component Universiteit Gent

Christina-Paulina Lambrinou, Odysseas Androutsos, Eva Karaglani, Greet Cardon, Nele Huys, Katja Wikström, Jemina Kivelä, Winne Ko, Ernest Karuranga, Kaloyan Tsochev, et al.
Background: Although there are many interventions targeting childhood obesity prevention, only few have demonstrated positive results. The current review aimed to gather and evaluate available school-based intervention studies with family involvement targeting dietary, physical activity and sedentary behaviors among primary schoolchildren and their families, in order to identify the most effective strategies. Methods: Studies published between ...

SMART2D-development and contextualization of community strategies to support self-management in prevention and control of type 2 diabetes in Uganda, South Africa, and Sweden Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Antwerpen Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Pilvikki Absetz, Josefien Van Olmen, David Guwatudde, Thandi Puoane, Helle Molsted Alvesson, Peter Delobelle, Roy William Mayega, Francis Xavier Kasujja, Gloria Naggayi, Linda Timm, et al.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its complications are increasing rapidly in low- and middle-income countries, as well as among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations in high-income countries. Support for healthy lifestyle and self-management is paramount but not well implemented in health systems, and there is need for knowledge on how to design and implement interventions that are contextualized and patient centered and address special needs ...

Childhood aggression : a synthesis of reviews and meta-analyses to reveal patterns and opportunities for prevention and intervention strategies Universiteit Gent

A. M. Hendriks, M. Bartels, Olivier Colins, C. Finkenauer
This study provides a synthesis of meta-analyses and systematic reviews on non-pharmacological treatments for childhood aggression. Treatments referred to universal prevention, selective prevention, indicated prevention, or intervention (Mrazek and Haggerty, 1994). Seventy-two meta-analyses and systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria. We describe their characteristics, effect sizes across types of treatments, and the effects of various ...

Mastitis prevention and control practices and mastitis treatment strategies associated with the consumption of (critically important) antimicrobials on dairy herds in Flanders, Belgium Universiteit Gent

Marina Stevens, Sofie Piepers, Sarne De Vliegher
The main objectives of this study were to evaluate to what extent variations in herd-level antimicrobial consumption (AMC) can be explained by differences in management practices that are consistently effective in the prevention of (sub)clinical mastitis, on the one hand, and by differences in mastitis treatment strategies, on the other hand. Antimicrobial consumption data were obtained during 2012 and 2013 by "garbage can audits" and expressed ...

Cadmium exposure in the population: from health risks to strategies of prevention. Universiteit Hasselt KU Leuven

Tim NAWROT, Jan A. Staessen, Harry ROELS, Elke MUNTERS, Ann CUYPERS, Tom Richart, Ann RUTTENS, Karen SMEETS, Herman CLIJSTERS, Jaco VANGRONSVELD, et al.
We focus on the recent evidence that elucidates our understanding about the effects of cadmium (Cd) on human health and their prevention. Recently, there has been substantial progress in the exploration of the shape of the Cd concentration-response function on osteoporosis and mortality. Environmental exposure to Cd increases total mortality in a continuous fashion without evidence of a threshold, independently of kidney function and other ...

Strategies to identify and reach young women who sell sex with HIV prevention and care services: lessons learnt from the implementation of DREAMS services in two cities in Zimbabwe Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Sungai Chabata, Rumbidzo Makandwa, Bernadette Hensen, Phillis Mushati, Tarisai Chiyaka, Sithembile Musemburi, Joanna Busza, Sian Floyd, Isolde Birdthistle, James R. Hargreaves, et al.

Background: Young women who sell sex (YWSS), are underserved by available HIV prevention and care services. The Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe (DREAMS) Partnership aimed to reduce the risk of HIV acquisition among vulnerable populations of adolescent girls and young women, including YWSS, in 10 sub-Saharan African countries. We describe 2 methods, respondent-driven sampling (RDS) and peer outreach, used to ...

Jeroen Lakerveld, Johannes Brug, Sandra Bot, Pedro J Teixeira, Harry Rutter, Euan Woodward, Oddrun Samdal, Lynn Stockley, Ilse De Bourdeaudhuij, Patricia van Assema, et al.
Background: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in Europe is high. It is a major cause of the overall rates of many of the main chronic (or non communicable) diseases in this region and is characterized by an unequal socio-economic distribution within the population. Obesity is largely determined by modifiable lifestyle behaviours such as low physical activity levels, sedentary behaviour and consumption of energy dense diets. It is ...
