Food environment interactions after migration: a scoping review on low- and middle-income country immigrants in high-income countries

Aravinda Berggreen-Clausen et al.

Summary: This study aims to investigate and describe the interactions between immigrant populations from low- and middle-income countries and the food environment in high-income countries. The study found that immigrants strive to access fresh, traditional, and healthier food, but face structural and family-level barriers that may impact the healthiness of the food they acquire.

Is Obesity Policy in England Fit for Purpose? Analysis of Government Strategies and Policies, 1992-2020

Dolly R. Z. Theis et al.

Summary: Government obesity policies in England have been proposed in a way that hinders implementation, lacks interventionist approaches, and places high demands on individual agency. This has contributed to the failure to effectively reduce obesity prevalence and health inequalities. Policymakers should prioritize policies that require minimal individual effort and have the potential for widespread impact to address these issues.

The African urban food environment framework for creating healthy nutrition policy and interventions in urban Africa

Hibbah Araba Osei-Kwasi et al.

Summary: This study developed and validated a framework of factors influencing dietary behaviours in urban African food environments, by drawing on concept mapping and a mixed-methods research approach. The final framework included 103 factors across individual, social, physical, and macro levels, providing a useful tool for understanding dietary transitions and intervention strategies in urban African adolescents and adults. Additionally, contextual factors that were not present in existing high-income country frameworks were identified, emphasizing the importance of adapting interventions to specific contexts in Africa.

Using a global food environment framework to understand relationships with food choice in diverse low- and middle-income countries

Shilpa Constantinides et al.

Summary: This study examined the Turner et al. (2018) framework in identifying and studying the relationship between food environments and individual food choices in various contexts. By mapping evidence from 15 projects, common drivers and emergent characteristics within the food environment were identified, providing insights for enhancing nutrition and health outcomes through targeted policies and interventions in LMICs.
