Parent Weight, Diet, Active Living, and Food-Related Outcomes of the Family-Focused: NU-HOME Randomized Controlled Trial

Melissa L. Horning et al.

Summary: This study evaluated parent outcomes of a rural, family-focused childhood obesity prevention trial and found that parent cognitive and behavioral outcomes can be changed through family-oriented obesity prevention programs, particularly in terms of dietary intake and physical activity. These changes may have positive effects on both parent and child health.

Consumption of Ultra-Processed Foods Is Associated with Free Sugars Intake in the Canadian Population

Virginie Hamel et al.

Summary: Excessive sugar consumption can lead to noncommunicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Ultra-processed foods are increasingly suspected to be major contributors to free sugars intake in the population's diet. A study in Canada found that almost half of the population's energy intake came from ultra-processed foods, and the majority of these calories came from free sugars. Therefore, public health policies aimed at reducing the consumption of ultra-processed foods should be a priority due to their significant contribution to sugar intake in the population.

From the pandemic to the pan: the impact of COVID-19 on parental inclusion of children in cooking activities: a cross-continental survey

Tony Benson et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of COVID-19 on time spent cooking and parental inclusion of children in cooking activities. The findings show that in three regions, parents' time spent cooking and inclusion of children in everyday cooking activities increased. Country, education, cooking skills confidence, and a higher intake of vegetables by parents were significant predictors of more frequent inclusion of children in cooking activities.

Weight outcomes of NU-HOME: a randomized controlled trial to prevent obesity among rural children

Jayne A. Fulkerson et al.

Summary: The study found that there were no significant intervention effects on child BMIz or overweight/obesity status, although there was a promising reduction in boys' percent body fat in the intervention group. The comprehensive family-focused program may require more intensive interventions to address the complex factors associated with excess weight gain.

Ultra-processed food consumption, socio-demographics and diet quality in Australian adults

Laura Marchese et al.

Summary: This study found that younger adults, Australian-born adults, those experiencing the greatest area-level disadvantage, individuals with lower levels of education, and those in the second lowest household income quintile were more likely to consume ultra-processed foods. Consumption of ultra-processed foods was inversely associated with diet quality, as indicated by lower scores on the Dietary Guideline Index related to various food groups.

How a 7-Week Food Literacy Cooking Program Affects Cooking Confidence and Mental Health: Findings of a Quasi-Experimental Controlled Intervention Trial

Joanna Rees et al.

Summary: A 7-week cooking program was effective in improving cooking confidence, general and mental health, but did not affect dietary behavior. Recruiting individuals with lower nutrition knowledge and interest in cooking may be necessary to further improve nutrition-related behaviors associated with better mental health.

Consumption of ultra-processed foods and health status: a systematic review and meta-analysis

G. Pagliai et al.

Summary: Increasing evidence suggests that high consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with an increase in non-communicable diseases, overweight, and obesity. Both cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies have found that high UPF consumption is linked to a poorer cardiometabolic risk profile and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, depression, and all-cause mortality.

An exploration of how meal preparation activities relate to self-rated time pressure, stress, and health in Canada: A time use approach

Michael J. Widener et al.

Summary: This study explores the direct associations between time spent on meal preparation and health outcomes for Canadian adults, utilizing data from Statistics Canada's 2015 Time Use Cycle. Findings reveal that spending more time on meal preparation is linked to improved mental health and lower levels of stress. Additionally, individuals with different levels of self-rated stress or feelings of having extra time show significantly different activity sequences surrounding meal preparation activities.

COVID-19 & culinary behaviours of Australian household food gatekeepers: A qualitative study

Rimante Ronto et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns, Australian primary food gatekeepers reported increased home cooking and experimentation in the kitchen, enhancing their food literacy but also leading to less positive outcomes such as increased snacking and alcohol intake. Comprehensive nutritional programs are needed for Australian primary food gatekeepers to improve their food literacy and confidence in food preparation.

Exploring the associations of depressive symptoms with healthy eating self-efficacy over time amongst women in the READI cohort study

Rachelle Opie et al.

Summary: This study is one of the first to explore the association of depressive symptoms with healthy eating self-efficacy over time. The findings suggest that depression may negatively impact healthy eating self-efficacy, highlighting the need for interventions to enhance self-efficacy among individuals with or at risk of depressive symptoms to support healthier dietary practices and reduce the burden of mental health conditions.

Healthy, usual and convenience cooking practices patterns: How do they influence children's food consumption?

Carla Adriano Martins et al.

Summary: This study identified three cooking patterns among adults - Healthy, Usual, and Convenience. While the Healthy pattern was negatively associated with ultra-processed food consumption, the Convenience pattern showed a positive association. Therefore, promoting healthy eating among children should involve adults aligning their cooking practices with preparing meals using fresh ingredients.

Consumption of Ultra-Processed Food and Its Association with Sociodemographic Characteristics and Diet Quality in a Representative Sample of French Adults

Giovanna Calixto Andrade et al.

Summary: The study described the consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) in French adults and found that consumption was higher among younger individuals and urban residents, but lower among those with incomplete high school education and retirees. Consumption of UPF was positively associated with dietary energy density, total carbohydrates, free sugar, total and saturated fat content, and inadequate intake of saturated fat, free sugar, and fiber.

Upstream and downstream explanations of the harms of ultra-processed foods in national dietary guidelines

Madalyn Quinn et al.

Summary: This study analyzed 19 publicly available national dietary guidelines and found that there are 17 different terms used to refer to processed foods. Six rationales to reduce consumption of processed foods were identified, grouped into four overarching domains: harmful outcomes, food quality, diet quality, and food environment. These rationales reflect upstream and downstream determinants of health.
