9 Recent developments and publications Articles in scientific (peerreviewed) journals Main focus: childhood obesity, school children focussed activities
10 Updated global overweight/obesity rates and trends Changes in BMI worldwide by sex for adults ( 20 years) and children/adolescents (2-19 years) "Prevalence has increased substantially in children and adolescents in developed countries" "Since 2006, the increase in adult obesity in developed countries has slowed down" No country reports a significant decrease in obesity prevalence over the past 33 years Lancet 2014 [Epub ahead of print]; Related: OECD 2014 obesity update: C3 Collaborating for Health/EASO "Obesity: perception and policy multi-country review and survey of policymakers"

Nature 2014; 508 (7496) Suppl, S50 S95
12 HOT TOPIC Public health nutrition in schools Latest research on the potential contributions of school based nutrition initiatives to public health approaches from a wide range of European and non-european countries Influencing availability of and choice among healthy and unhealthy food options Dealing with complexity and the "captive foodscapes" approach School meal programmes School nutrition policies Publ Health Nutr 2014; 17(6),
13 Cochrane review 1 - Lifestyle interventions improve children's school achievement Evidence suggests that lifestyle interventions can benefit cognitive function and school achievement in children of normal weight. School-based interventions targeting healthy diet and lifestyle education led to small improvements in overall school achievement in overweight or obese children. Increasing physical activity improved scores on tests of mathematics and memory, and improved 'problem-solving' thinking skills Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2014; 3:CD
14 Cochrane review 2 - WHO Health Promoting Schools (HPS) framework interventions improve certain health outcomes The WHO HPS framework is an holistic, settings-based approach to promoting health and educational attainment in school. Some HPS interventions improve body mass index (BMI), physical activity, physical fitness, fruit and vegetable intake, tobacco use, and being bullied. Insufficient data available to draw conclusions about its effectiveness for other aspects of health and how students perform at school. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2014; 4:CD
15 Early Childhood Investments Substantially Boost Adult Health Investigation of the health effects in adulthood of a high quality, intensive early childhood program originally designed as a social experiment aiming to prevent mild mental retardation in disadvantaged children Results: early childhood (age 0-5 y) intervention emphasising development of language, emotional regulation, and cognitive skills resulted in significantly lower prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in their mid-30s Interpretation: study highlights interconnectedness between health (behaviours) and cognitive/non-cognitive skills and proposes early childhood interventions as largely unexplored avenue of health policy Science 2014; 343,
16 Trans fats in biscuits/cakes/wafers sampled during 2012/2013 in 20 European countries Objective: To investigate on efforts in Europe to reduce industrially produced trans fats (I-TF) in popular foods Same approach as previous studies with foods sampled in 2006 and 2009 In 7 countries no trans fat was found In 9 predominantly Eastern European countries products with very high trans fat levels were found Of the 5 countries examined in 2006 & 2013, 3 had unchanged and two had lower levels of trans fats Conclusion: "Subgroups of the population in many countries in Europe still consume I-TF in amounts that increase their risk of coronary heart disease."
