Improving population health: training UK health and social care practitioners in skills to support behaviour change (Video Presentation)

Gravida: National Centre for Growth and Development, recently hosted a guest lecture by Dr Wendy Lawrence from the University of Southampton, explaining the design, roll out and results of the "Healthy Conversations" workforce skills training piloted in Southampton.

Dr Lawrence is in New Zealand as an advisor to Gravida's new Ministry of Health funded workforce development project. The project is working towards the development of a curriculum that will be offered to those who care for pregnant women and young families. It will cover both the latest scientific evidence in maternal and infant nutrition and physical activity research, as well as a New Zealand-specific adaptation of the "Healthy Conversations" workforce skills training.

Quantitative relationship between body weight gain in adulthood and incident type 2 diabetes: A meta-analysis

2013-11-01 10:35:58.829

This meta-analysis quantified the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus preceded by body weight gain in the general population.

Fifteen eligible studies were identified. Body weight gain was divided into early weight-gain, which was defined as body weight gain from early adulthood (18–24 years of age) to cohort entry (≥25 years of age), and late weight-gain, which was defined as body weight gain from cohort entry.

The meta-analysis suggested that body weight gain was a quantifiable predictor of type 2 diabetes mellitus, as well as current obesity in adults. In particular, body weight gain in early rather than middle-to-late adulthood played an important role in developing type 2 diabetes mellitus.
