The document discusses applying the Transtheoretical Model to understand the health literacy of inner-city families regarding their purchase of fruits and vegetables at convenience stores. It suggests using the model to examine what stage of change inner-city families are at in terms of accessing and purchasing fresh produce. Considering families' resources and store access can provide insight into where interventions could best target to encourage healthier shopping behaviors.
Nutritional Status of School Age Children in Private Elementary Schools: Basi...IJAEMSJORNAL
Department of Education (DepEd) organizes nutritional programs to improve the health status of children in public schools. Likewise, the researcher believes that health awareness must be raised in private schools as well. This study aimed to affect the community to be aware and more knowledgeable about nutrition. Specifically, this study focused on the nutritional status of school age children in private elementary schools in Santa Rosa, Nueva Ecija. It sought to determine the profile of the learners, anthropometrics, clinical data and the knowledge of the learners as to dietary and the significant relationship between the profile of the learners and the nutritional status of the school aged children. With all the data gathered a meal management program was proposed. The study employed the quantitative description design. The study manifests that majority of the respondents were not yet aware of what they eat. In addition, age, greatly affects the respondent’s anthropometrics as to height. More so, age, number of siblings and family income, greatly affect the respondents’ anthropometrics as to weight. The researcher adopted the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipino program that was developed by the DOST- FNRI.

Identifying undernutrition and obesity on students and propose public policies of health are urgent issues. This paper presents a study with weight and stature from students collected by physical education teachers (PEF) in schools of a city near São Paulo. The PEF collected the data and they were inserted in a program especially developed for each school Department (AENE Project). The datas were analyzed by software and evaluation done based on a World Health Organization (WHO_2007) table, that develops health programs worldwide. The results evaluations were used to raise the students and family, teachers and responsibles for treatment search (when required).

healthy foods. There is a perception that healthy foods are very expensive to purchase. Their
food consumption to a large extent consists of proteins from genetically modified organisms
(GMOs), larger amounts of refined grains and sugars and high level of fructose corn syrup. They
consume junky foods that are cheaper to buy. These foods contribute a lot to childhood obesity
among the African American children who consume them.
Obesity is not a disease in itself. However, it leads to an increased risk of individuals to
develop other diseases that may be considered to be chronic. These chronic diseases include
some types of cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes and other
complicated health conditions. A myriad of social and physical negative consequences are
associated with obesity. The conditions associated with obesity carry both short term and long
term negative outcomes that are extremely expensive to treat both at individual and societal
level. It is less expensive to prevent obesity than to cure it. It is therefore important to address the
problem of obesity by implementing effective preventive measures.
Childhood obesity is a world-wide health problem and development of interventions to
prevent or control it should be a priority (Amini et al, (2014). Obesity is prevalent and on the
increase among many school going African American children in the US. Physical activity and
healthy diet are the key preventive interventions that can be implemented to tackle the challenge
of childhood obesity (Chircop et al., (2015).
Obesity is a major health concern. This is because children who have obesity, compared
to those with normal weight are at .

Childhood Obesity among Pittsburgh School Students, Ages 6-12 Years
The hypothesis of if schools served healthier food and gave the children more time to eat as well as having more chances to be active, like recess and physical education, then child hood obesity rates would decrease drastically. This study will investigate effects of teaching obese children better habits of eating and exercise and improved habits and self-esteem. The children for the study will be drawn from the general school population (ages 6 to 12). Students (n = 20) will receive a brief intervention regarding nutrition, activity, and snacking. Students will serve as their own control. Each participant will be pre- and post-tested regarding eating behavior, activity, snacking behavior, and levels of self-esteem. The hypothesis will be tested through the application of quantitative analysis (one-way ANOVA) to the data collected
(Dotsch, Kokocinski, Knerr, Rascher, Rascher & Weigel, 2008).
The goal of this proposal is to study the prevalence of obesity among school children 6-12 years old in Pittsburgh Public Schools, and to identify any variation as per age, gender, place of residence, and type of school. Obesity is usually defined as more than 20 percent above ideal weight for a particular height and age ("Obesity,"). This proposal is addressed to meet the needs of children who have become obese due to environmental factors. If we can alter a few key and relatively simple areas in the lives of individuals, reinforce this within the schools and community, and re-evaluate the messages being sent in our culture, American school children will soon see an end to an excessive weight gain.
The results of this survey are important for the development of evidence-based practice guidelines and the overall process will have an impact on the clinical practice, research and dietetic policy.
School children between 6-12 years old will be sampled using stratified random sampling (SRS) with cumulative population proportionate from each school (cluster) of four districts. A total of 20 clusters will be selected by systematic sampling. The clusters spread out geographically by schools, and then the sample starts at a random cluster and then takes every 10th cluster in the list. First, take a separate SRS in each stratum to allow separate conclusions about each stratum. Then, a stratified sample will have a smaller margin of error than an SRS of the same size. Data will be analyzed using Body Mass Index (BMI- CDC) calculator and/or a .
Obesity is quickly becoming one of the most common chronic.docxhopeaustin33688
Obesity is quickly becoming one of the most common chronic diseases among children. These rates have increased at an alarming rate and is a major public health problem because of related physical and psychological comorbidities, including type II diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and mental health disorders. Dramatic increase in the number of overweight and obese children in recent years.
Studies indicate that children's lives may be shortened as a result of this alarming health problem. Estimates state that for any degree of overweight/obesity, younger adults (20-30 years of age) may have greater years of life lost due to obesity than older adults. Childhood obesity has been determined to be an independent risk factor for adult overweight/obesity.
To combat childhood obesity, there is a great need for public health interventions as well as education parents regarding childhood obesity and its consequences. Parents differ on causation of obesity, and differ in focus on nutrition and physical exercise. Many parents in the research do not see obesity as a barrier to physical activity. The parents need to recognize their child as overweight. Prevention is the most effective method for dealing with this growing health concern. The evidence reviewed, confirmed that family-centered interventions were associated with short-term reduction in obesity and improved medical parameters. The goal should be to involve community resources and provider referrals. Nurse Practitioners have a unique role in being the best facilitators to deliver health messages and are able to educate parents and increase awareness about the causes and consequences of childhood obesity.
Parents of young children need to interact with their child's primary healthcare provider for health advice and preventive health information during regularly scheduled physical examinations. It is up to the parents of these young children to combat intervention strategies such as:
a combination of nutritional and activity information, a cognitive-behavioral aspect to the intervention parent-directed activities
limiting sedentary child behaviors, provide positive approaches with children by parents and practitioners (e.g., emphasize positive rewards for healthy behaviors, encourage self-efficacy)
Future research is required to identify moderators and mediators to produce enduring changes in weight status of children.
The Objective was to determine in children who are at risk for becoming overweight or obese, does education with parental involvement on exercise and nutrition compared to individual education with the child alone decrease the risk of developing obesity and the health problems associated with obesity?
(P) In overweight, obese, or at risk young children (2-18years of age) Is family centered education/treatment interventions
(C) versus control or comparison interventions
(O) more effective in decreasing childhood obesity and compli.
I provided background information and research on child nutrition, and I related it to child development theories and application to research, teaching, and working with children. This research paper encompasses human growth and development by sharing how a child's ecological system impacts their wellbeing, such as food programs, school, or family.
The present study examines the difference in nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and dietary intake among college students based on the presence of vegetarianism. A Web-based survey using 702 college students at a Midwest university collected data about participants’ level of nutrition knowledge, attitudes toward nutrition and vegetarianism, and dietary patterns. Results showed vegetarians had a more positive attitude towards a vegetarian diet as opposed to non-vegetarians. Vegetarians also demonstrated greater nutrition knowledge specifically related to vegetarian nutrition as opposed to general nutrition, although their dietary intake did not prove to be of higher quality than nonvegetarians. Results from this study are applicable in the vegetarian community and those who work with vegetarians. Most notably, this study may be of great use to food service establishments, particularly college dining settings.
Prevalence of Undernutrition among Baalwadi Going Children between 2 5 Years ...ijtsrd
Children are the backbone of any country. Under nutrition is the underlying cause of more than half of all deaths in children aged less than five years worldwide. This study was designed majorly to study the prevalence of undernutrition in children. The objectives of the study were to assess the prevalence of undernutrition stunting, underweight and wasting in children between 2 5 years of age and to analyse major determinants influencing undernutrition. 102 children aged between 2 5 years of age were selected from two different baalwadis of Mumbai through purposive, random sampling. Socio demographic data was collected using a self designed, structured questionnaire from mothers. Anthropometric measurements like weight, height, MUAC were done to determine nutritional status. Anthropometric data revealed that out of total children screened n=102 , 34 children were well nourished and 66 children were undernourished where 27 children were underweight, 24 were wasted 16 were stunted. 55 children had low MUAC. The factors that were found to be significantly associated with child undernutrition were age p=0.046 , gender p=0.000 , maternal education p=0.007 , employment status of mother p=0.001 and number of meals taken by the child daily p=0.000 . The prevalence of undernutrition among children of Baalwadi was high considering the sample size was small.

School health guidelines to promote healthy eating and Physical ActivityAdonisGoldenRatioSystems
This report describes school health guidelines for promoting healthy eating and physical activity, including coordination of school policies and practices.
supportive environments; school nutrition services. physical education and physical activity programs; health education; health, mental health, and social services; family and community involvement; school employee wellness; and professional development for school staff members.
These guidelines, developed in collaboration with specialists from universities and from national, federal, state, local, and voluntary agencies and organizations, are based on an in-depth review of research, theory, and best practices in healthy eating and physical activity promotion in school health, public health, and education. Because every guideline might not be appropriate or feasible for every school to implement, individual schools should determine which guidelines have the highest priority based on the needs of the school and available resources.

The Lancet Nutrition Interventions Review Group, and the Maternal and Child Nutrition Study Group
Maternal undernutrition contributes to 800 000 neonatal deaths annually through small for gestational age births;
stunting, wasting, and micronutrient defi ciencies are estimated to underlie nearly 3·1 million child deaths annually.
Progress has been made with many interventions implemented at scale and the evidence for eff ectiveness of nutrition
interventions and delivery strategies has grown since The Lancet Series on Maternal and Child Undernutrition in
2008. We did a comprehensive update of interventions to address undernutrition and micronutrient defi ciencies in
women and children and used standard methods to assess emerging new evidence for delivery platforms. We
modelled the eff ect on lives saved and cost of these interventions in the 34 countries that have 90% of the world’s
children with stunted growth. We also examined the eff ect of various delivery platforms and delivery options using
community health workers to engage poor populations and promote behaviour change, access and uptake of
interventions. Our analysis suggests the current total of deaths in children younger than 5 years can be reduced by
15% if populations can access ten evidence-based nutrition interventions at 90% coverage. Additionally, access to and
uptake of iodised salt can alleviate iodine defi ciency and improve health outcomes. Accelerated gains are possible and
about a fi fth of the existing burden of stunting can be averted using these approaches, if access is improved in this
way. The estimated total additional annual cost involved for scaling up access to these ten direct nutrition interventions
in the 34 focus countries is Int$9·6 billion per year. Continued investments in nutrition-specifi c interventions to avert
maternal and child undernutrition and micronutrient defi ciencies through community engagement and delivery
strategies that can reach poor segments of the population at greatest risk can make a great diff erence. If this improved
access is linked to nutrition-sensitive approaches—ie, women’s empowerment, agriculture, food systems, education,
employment, social protection, and safety nets—they can greatly accelerate progress in countries with the highest
burden of maternal and child undernutrition and mortality.

Intervention on Vending Machine Sales
on a University Campus
Mary V. Brown, PhD, CHES; Matthew Flint, PhD; James Fuqua, BS
Abstract. Objective: To determine the effects of a nutrition infor-
mation intervention on the vending machine purchases on a col-
lege campus. Participants and Methods: Five high-use vending
machines were selected for the intervention, which was conducted
in the fall of 2011. Baseline sales data were collected in the 5
machines prior to the intervention. At the time of the intervention,
color-coded stickers were placed near each item selection to iden-
tify less healthy (red), moderately healthy (yellow), and more
healthy (green) snack items. Sales data were collected during the
2-week intervention. Results: Purchases of red- and yellow-stick-
ered foods were reduced in most of the machines; moreover, sales
of the green-stickered items increased in all of the machines.
Conclusions: The increased purchases of healthier snack options
demonstrate encouraging patterns that support more nutritious and
healthy alternatives in vending machines.

Identifying undernutrition and obesity on students and propose public policies of health are urgent issues. This paper presents a study with weight and stature from students collected by physical education teachers (PEF) in schools of a city near São Paulo. The PEF collected the data and they were inserted in a program especially developed for each school Department (AENE Project). The datas were analyzed by software and evaluation done based on a World Health Organization (WHO_2007) table, that develops health programs worldwide. The results evaluations were used to raise the students and family, teachers and responsibles for treatment search (when required).

healthy foods. There is a perception that healthy foods are very expensive to purchase. Their
food consumption to a large extent consists of proteins from genetically modified organisms
(GMOs), larger amounts of refined grains and sugars and high level of fructose corn syrup. They
consume junky foods that are cheaper to buy. These foods contribute a lot to childhood obesity
among the African American children who consume them.
Obesity is not a disease in itself. However, it leads to an increased risk of individuals to
develop other diseases that may be considered to be chronic. These chronic diseases include
some types of cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes and other
complicated health conditions. A myriad of social and physical negative consequences are
associated with obesity. The conditions associated with obesity carry both short term and long
term negative outcomes that are extremely expensive to treat both at individual and societal
level. It is less expensive to prevent obesity than to cure it. It is therefore important to address the
problem of obesity by implementing effective preventive measures.
Childhood obesity is a world-wide health problem and development of interventions to
prevent or control it should be a priority (Amini et al, (2014). Obesity is prevalent and on the
increase among many school going African American children in the US. Physical activity and
healthy diet are the key preventive interventions that can be implemented to tackle the challenge
of childhood obesity (Chircop et al., (2015).
Obesity is a major health concern. This is because children who have obesity, compared
to those with normal weight are at .

Childhood Obesity among Pittsburgh School Students, Ages 6-12 Years
The hypothesis of if schools served healthier food and gave the children more time to eat as well as having more chances to be active, like recess and physical education, then child hood obesity rates would decrease drastically. This study will investigate effects of teaching obese children better habits of eating and exercise and improved habits and self-esteem. The children for the study will be drawn from the general school population (ages 6 to 12). Students (n = 20) will receive a brief intervention regarding nutrition, activity, and snacking. Students will serve as their own control. Each participant will be pre- and post-tested regarding eating behavior, activity, snacking behavior, and levels of self-esteem. The hypothesis will be tested through the application of quantitative analysis (one-way ANOVA) to the data collected
(Dotsch, Kokocinski, Knerr, Rascher, Rascher & Weigel, 2008).
The goal of this proposal is to study the prevalence of obesity among school children 6-12 years old in Pittsburgh Public Schools, and to identify any variation as per age, gender, place of residence, and type of school. Obesity is usually defined as more than 20 percent above ideal weight for a particular height and age ("Obesity,"). This proposal is addressed to meet the needs of children who have become obese due to environmental factors. If we can alter a few key and relatively simple areas in the lives of individuals, reinforce this within the schools and community, and re-evaluate the messages being sent in our culture, American school children will soon see an end to an excessive weight gain.
The results of this survey are important for the development of evidence-based practice guidelines and the overall process will have an impact on the clinical practice, research and dietetic policy.
School children between 6-12 years old will be sampled using stratified random sampling (SRS) with cumulative population proportionate from each school (cluster) of four districts. A total of 20 clusters will be selected by systematic sampling. The clusters spread out geographically by schools, and then the sample starts at a random cluster and then takes every 10th cluster in the list. First, take a separate SRS in each stratum to allow separate conclusions about each stratum. Then, a stratified sample will have a smaller margin of error than an SRS of the same size. Data will be analyzed using Body Mass Index (BMI- CDC) calculator and/or a .
Obesity is quickly becoming one of the most common chronic.docxhopeaustin33688
Obesity is quickly becoming one of the most common chronic diseases among children. These rates have increased at an alarming rate and is a major public health problem because of related physical and psychological comorbidities, including type II diabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and mental health disorders. Dramatic increase in the number of overweight and obese children in recent years.
Studies indicate that children's lives may be shortened as a result of this alarming health problem. Estimates state that for any degree of overweight/obesity, younger adults (20-30 years of age) may have greater years of life lost due to obesity than older adults. Childhood obesity has been determined to be an independent risk factor for adult overweight/obesity.
To combat childhood obesity, there is a great need for public health interventions as well as education parents regarding childhood obesity and its consequences. Parents differ on causation of obesity, and differ in focus on nutrition and physical exercise. Many parents in the research do not see obesity as a barrier to physical activity. The parents need to recognize their child as overweight. Prevention is the most effective method for dealing with this growing health concern. The evidence reviewed, confirmed that family-centered interventions were associated with short-term reduction in obesity and improved medical parameters. The goal should be to involve community resources and provider referrals. Nurse Practitioners have a unique role in being the best facilitators to deliver health messages and are able to educate parents and increase awareness about the causes and consequences of childhood obesity.
Parents of young children need to interact with their child's primary healthcare provider for health advice and preventive health information during regularly scheduled physical examinations. It is up to the parents of these young children to combat intervention strategies such as:
a combination of nutritional and activity information, a cognitive-behavioral aspect to the intervention parent-directed activities
limiting sedentary child behaviors, provide positive approaches with children by parents and practitioners (e.g., emphasize positive rewards for healthy behaviors, encourage self-efficacy)
Future research is required to identify moderators and mediators to produce enduring changes in weight status of children.
The Objective was to determine in children who are at risk for becoming overweight or obese, does education with parental involvement on exercise and nutrition compared to individual education with the child alone decrease the risk of developing obesity and the health problems associated with obesity?
(P) In overweight, obese, or at risk young children (2-18years of age) Is family centered education/treatment interventions
(C) versus control or comparison interventions
(O) more effective in decreasing childhood obesity and compli.
I provided background information and research on child nutrition, and I related it to child development theories and application to research, teaching, and working with children. This research paper encompasses human growth and development by sharing how a child's ecological system impacts their wellbeing, such as food programs, school, or family.
The present study examines the difference in nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and dietary intake among college students based on the presence of vegetarianism. A Web-based survey using 702 college students at a Midwest university collected data about participants’ level of nutrition knowledge, attitudes toward nutrition and vegetarianism, and dietary patterns. Results showed vegetarians had a more positive attitude towards a vegetarian diet as opposed to non-vegetarians. Vegetarians also demonstrated greater nutrition knowledge specifically related to vegetarian nutrition as opposed to general nutrition, although their dietary intake did not prove to be of higher quality than nonvegetarians. Results from this study are applicable in the vegetarian community and those who work with vegetarians. Most notably, this study may be of great use to food service establishments, particularly college dining settings.
Prevalence of Undernutrition among Baalwadi Going Children between 2 5 Years ...ijtsrd
Children are the backbone of any country. Under nutrition is the underlying cause of more than half of all deaths in children aged less than five years worldwide. This study was designed majorly to study the prevalence of undernutrition in children. The objectives of the study were to assess the prevalence of undernutrition stunting, underweight and wasting in children between 2 5 years of age and to analyse major determinants influencing undernutrition. 102 children aged between 2 5 years of age were selected from two different baalwadis of Mumbai through purposive, random sampling. Socio demographic data was collected using a self designed, structured questionnaire from mothers. Anthropometric measurements like weight, height, MUAC were done to determine nutritional status. Anthropometric data revealed that out of total children screened n=102 , 34 children were well nourished and 66 children were undernourished where 27 children were underweight, 24 were wasted 16 were stunted. 55 children had low MUAC. The factors that were found to be significantly associated with child undernutrition were age p=0.046 , gender p=0.000 , maternal education p=0.007 , employment status of mother p=0.001 and number of meals taken by the child daily p=0.000 . The prevalence of undernutrition among children of Baalwadi was high considering the sample size was small.

Evidence-based interventions for improvement of maternal

Maternal undernutrition contributes to 800 000 neonatal deaths annually through small for gestational age births;
stunting, wasting, and micronutrient defi ciencies are estimated to underlie nearly 3·1 million child deaths annually.
Progress has been made with many interventions implemented at scale and the evidence for eff ectiveness of nutrition
interventions and delivery strategies has grown since The Lancet Series on Maternal and Child Undernutrition in
2008. We did a comprehensive update of interventions to address undernutrition and micronutrient defi ciencies in
women and children and used standard methods to assess emerging new evidence for delivery platforms. We
modelled the eff ect on lives saved and cost of these interventions in the 34 countries that have 90% of the world’s
children with stunted growth. We also examined the eff ect of various delivery platforms and delivery options using
community health workers to engage poor populations and promote behaviour change, access and uptake of
interventions. Our analysis suggests the current total of deaths in children younger than 5 years can be reduced by
15% if populations can access ten evidence-based nutrition interventions at 90% coverage. Additionally, access to and
uptake of iodised salt can alleviate iodine defi ciency and improve health outcomes. Accelerated gains are possible and
about a fi fth of the existing burden of stunting can be averted using these approaches, if access is improved in this
way. The estimated total additional annual cost involved for scaling up access to these ten direct nutrition interventions
in the 34 focus countries is Int$9·6 billion per year. Continued investments in nutrition-specifi c interventions to avert
maternal and child undernutrition and micronutrient defi ciencies through community engagement and delivery

Introduction Over the past 30 years, rates of childhood obesity and overweight have risen
steadily in Canada (1-3). More recently, results from the Canadian Health Measures Survey
indicated that approximately 19% of Canadian children aged five to 17 years are
overweight, and approximately 11% are obese (2-4). This finding represents an increase of
70% in the prevalence of overweight since the 1970s, while the prevalence of obesity is
now 2.5 times higher (2). The health consequences of obesity, both in childhood and later in
adulthood, are well known, and highlight the importance of prevention and treatment (5-
10). A major factor contributing to childhood overweight and obesity is unhealthy eating
habits (5). This factor has been studied across the country and worldwide. Results from the
2004 Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) indicate that approximately 70% of
children aged four to eight years and 65% aged nine to 13 years do not consume the
recommended minimum five servings of fruits and vegetables (FV) daily (11). Results from
the United States National Health and Nutrition 114 Examination Survey showed that,
among children aged six to 11 years, 74.1% and 83.8% did not meet recommendations for
fruit consumption and vegetable consumption, respectively (12). Furthermore, this
population’s dietary intake was characterized by low-fibre, high total and saturated fat, and
higher addedsugar food and beverage choices (13,14). The Health Survey for England 2009
revealed that 78% of girls aged five to 15 years and 79% of boys in this age group were
consuming fewer than five servings of FV daily (15). Although national and international
3. data are available, region-specific information on children’s eating habits is limited.
Measuring young children’s diet quality is challenging. Applying the Theories of Reasoned
Action Planned BehaviorBecause developmental stages affect a child’s ability to recall and
quantify dietary intake accurately (16), age-appropriate tools merit consideration. Twenty-
four-hour recalls presented as pictorial questionnaires can increase comprehension,
enjoyment, and compliance among younger survey participants (17). Additionally,
collection of data related to an indicator of overall diet Revue canadienne de la pratique et
de la recherche en diététique -– Vol 74 nº 3, automne 2013 Research Recherche quality
rather than a detailed comprehensive analysis may be sufficient. Fruit and vegetable
consumption has been found to correlate with overall diet quality in a comparison with the
Canadian adaptation of the Healthy Eating Index (18). In addition to providing a good
indicator of overall diet quality, a focus on FV consumption provides a more realistic and
feasible option for assessing children’s dietary practices. PURPOSE An urgent need exists to
collect local data on children’s eating practices, as such data will guide the development and
targeting of micro-scale interventions to improve children’s health in specific regions that
may be at greater risk, such as low-income neighbourhoods and/or those with poor
geographic access to retailers of healthy foods. In this study, we examined eating habits,
specifically FV consumption, of students in grades 2 to 4 in a socioeconomically
disadvantaged London, Ontario, neighbourhood. The goal is to use the findings as baseline
data for future interventions in this neighbourhood, and to evaluate the efficacy of those
interventions. METHODS Study design The City of London Child and Youth Network Healthy
Eating Healthy Physical Activity workgroup determined that the neighbourhood chosen for
the study was a priority for healthy eating and healthy physical activity interventions. The
Child and Youth Network is a collaboration of more than 100 agencies, which focuses on the
health and well-being of children, youth, and families in the city of London. The obesity
prevention subcommittee, the Healthy Eating Healthy Physical Activity workgroup, was
charged with undertaking research to help inform interventions aimed at improving
healthy eating and physical activity among children in the region. The subcommittee
selected one “demonstration” neighbourhood in order to pilot test both its research and
intervention efforts. The neighbourhood chosen is economically disadvantaged and has a
large child and youth population. The average family income was $72,507, considerably
lower than the average of $84,593 for the city of London as a whole (19). Furthermore, the
neighbourhood has a young population; 28% of people are younger than 20 years old,
compared with 24% for the city of London (19). In terms of ethnic diversity, the population
is very similar to the rest of London (19). The neighbourhood is typically suburban in built
form and exhibited many potential barriers to healthy eating and physical activity. For
example, the neighbourhood has been identified as a “food desert” because residents do not
have easy geographic access to a retailer of healthy, affordable food, such as a grocery store
or market (20,21). Four elementary schools are located within the neighbourhood, and each
participated in this study. The schools are from both the local public and Catholic school
boards. Applying the Theories of Reasoned Action Planned BehaviorThey ranged from
approximately 270 to 430 students in junior kindergarten through grade 8. At the time of
the study, all four schools had the traditional school day schedule, which included a 15-
4. minute “recess” or break in both the morning and the afternoon, along with a lunch in the
middle of the day. Three of the four schools had a breakfast, snack, or milk program. All
male and female students who were aged seven to 10 years and in grades 2 to 4 were
invited to participate in this study. Students were eligible to participate if they were present
the day of data collection, had returned a parent/guardian consent form, and completed a
child assent form. Before the assent form was completed, the purpose and procedures of the
study were explained to the children, as were the risks and benefits and the option to
exclude themselves from the study. In general, children as young as seven years old have
been found capable of providing assent, provided they are able to understand the purpose
of the study, the protocol of the study, the risks and benefits, and the fact that they are free
to withdraw from the study without repercussions (22,23). Explaining the study multiple
times allowed several opportunities for questions, as well as withdrawal from the study,
and helped protect participants’ autonomy. This study was approved by the research ethics
boards of Western University, the Thames Valley District School Board, and the London
District Catholic School Board. Packages containing information letters and consent forms
were distributed to parents/guardians, along with a parent/guardian demographic/
household questionnaire (unpublished data). Dietary assessment Data on eating habits
related to FV consumption, as well as on activities completed during the previous day, were
collected using the Day in the Life Questionnaire (DILQ) (24). The DILQ is a pictorial write-
and-draw 24-hour recall that collects data primarily on FV consumption (24). The
questionnaire was developed in the United Kingdom and has been validated by comparison
with direct observation in students aged seven to nine years (24). The DILQ reports FV
consumption in instances rather than portion sizes, because of children’s limited ability to
recall and estimate portion sizes accurately (24,25). The questionnaire also collects
information on other activities completed during the day, as a way to facilitate recall (24).
The questionnaire was modified slightly to substitute words for those that might be
unfamiliar to Canadian children. It was presented as a classroom activity during regular
school hours. The DILQ is designed around a traditional school day schedule, and therefore
reflects food consumption on a single weekday, not a weekend day (23). Researchers were
present to help with any spelling or comprehension questions. Participants completed the
questionnaire as a group. Applying the Theories of Reasoned Action Planned
BehaviorThroughout questionnaire completion, interaction was permitted among students.
The aim was to decrease any stress or anxiety associated with questionnaire completion,
and to increase comprehension. Fruit and vegetable juices were not included as FV
consumption, because participants often had difficulty distinguishing among juices, drinks,
and juice cocktails. Data and statistical analysis Instances of FV consumption were counted
and compared with EatingWell with Canada’s Food Guide (CFG) recommendations (26),

Student’s t-test was used to compare instances of FV consumption between sexes. Analysis
of variance was used to compare instances of FV consumption between age groups.
Descriptive statistics, including means and ranges, were calculated for data such as
participation rate and students’ ages. All statistical analyses were performed with the
Statistical Analysis System (version 9.1, SAS, Cary, NC, 2004) with p<0.05 being considered
statistically significant. RESULTS A total of 136 students participated in the study. The
overall participation rate was 31%, with rates ranging from 24% to 48% at individual
schools. The rate of return for the consent form was equal to the participation rate, as all
children completed the assent form to participate in the study. Participation was fairly
equally distributed between boys and girls (43% versus 54%, respectively). The
participants were in grades 2, 3, and 4, with a mean age of 8.5 years (range, seven to 10
years). Participant demographics are shown in Table 1. Among the children surveyed, only
three (2.3%) had consumed FV on five or more occasions the previous day. The average
daily number of instances of FV consumption was 1.34 for girls and 0.95 for boys (p=0.07).
Boys were more likely than girls to report no consumption of FV (44% versus 34%). Eighty-
seven percent of participants had consumed FV fewer than three times the previous day.
The average daily number of instances of FV consumption was 1.2 (median = 1, mode = 0),
which is well below CFG recommendations (26); average FV consumption is shown in
Figure 1. DISCUSSION Need for interventions The rates of overweight and obesity among
children in Canada continue to rise, stimulating interest in lifestyle factors that contribute to
the development of overweight and obesity (1). The development of programs and
interventions focusing on healthy lifestyles, including eating habits, is important to help
prevent further increases in rates of overweight and obesity. However, accurate and reliable
data on current eating patterns are necessary to ensure those programs and interventions
are effective and useful to the target population. 116 Applying the Theories of Reasoned
Action Planned BehaviorConsumption levels Our study reveals that the children in this
neighbourhood exhibit inadequate FV consumption, a finding consistent with data reported
from similar populations in Ontario, Canada, and other countries (6,7,10,23,27-30). The
majority of study participants had an FV consumption level well below the CFG minimum
recommendations for daily FV consumption (26). Comparable levels have been reported for
students in grades 6 to 8 in rural and urban Ontario (27), in grades 2 to 4 in urban southern
Ontario (28), in grade 5 in Nova Scotia (29), and in grades 2 to 8 in rural southern Ontario
(30). These studies also had comparable participation rates, ranging from 39% to 51% (27-
30). National data from the CCHS indicate that, in Canada, the majority of children aged four
to 13 years do not consume a minimum of five FV servings daily (11). These findings are
disconcerting because eating habits established in childhood can affect eating habits and
consumption of FV in adulthood (31,32). Furthermore, many diseases originating in
childhood may be influenced by FV consumption (7). Conversely, consuming adequate
amounts of FV has been associated with lower rates of overweight and obesity, and may
help prevent the development of many chronic diseases (33). This fact, along with the
neighbourhood’s lack of access to retailers of healthy foods, means an intervention focused
on increasing FV consumption is warranted. Boys’ and girls’ FV consumption In the current
6. study, FV intake was not significantly different between the sexes. Yngve et al. (34),
however, previously reported that, among 11-year-olds, girls had a significantly higher
intake of FV. Galloway similarly reported that girls had higher FV intakes (30). In contrast,
Hanning et al. reported that females were less likely than males to meet recommendations
for FV consumption (27). The differences in intakes between males and females may
suggest that their motivations for consuming FV are different. Preference has been reported
as the strongest reason for FV intake differences between the sexes (35,36). Females appear
to have a stronger preference for FV; further research is needed to explain the differences in
taste preferences between the sexes (35,36). Nevertheless, these results indicate that both
sexes need to increase their FV intake. Revue canadienne de la pratique et de la recherche
en diététique -– Vol 74 nº 3, automne 2013 Research Recherche Fruit juice Eating Well with
Canada’s Food Guide includes 100% fruit juice in the FV food group, but suggests that whole
fruit be chosen more often (26). In the current study, fruit juice was excluded because of
children’s inability to distinguish among 100% fruit juices, fruit drinks, and juice cocktails;
this exclusion may have influenced results. Dennison et al. (31) found that fruit juice
contributed a significant amount to the total FV intake among children aged two to five
years in New York State. However, their results still showed that the majority of
participants consumed fewer than the recommended servings of FV (31). Yngve et al. (34)
also reported that, after fruit juice was excluded, mean FV intakes were below World Health
Organization population goals. Furthermore, Lorson et al. (12) found that, when fruit juice
was included as a serving of FV, it was the main contributor to fruit intake. Applying the
Theories of Reasoned Action Planned BehaviorAlthough discounting fruit juice in the
current study may have led to an overall underestimation of FV consumption, it is unlikely
to have influenced the results significantly. Finally, consumption of whole fruit rather than
fruit juice is encouraged to increase intake of fibre and other nutrients (26). Predictors of
FV consumption Other studies have shown that predictors of FV intake include availability
of vegetables and fruits at home (37), mothers’ beliefs about, knowledge of, and intake of
vegetables and fruit (38), and neighbourhood factors, such as geographic accessibility to
grocery stores and FV availability (39). Socioeconomic status has also been correlated with
FV consumption (29,40) and inversely correlated with overweight and obesity (41). At the
time of the study, the sample neighbourhood was a “food desert”—a socioeconomically
disadvantaged area without easy access to an FV retailer (20,21). Many people in this area
rely on public transportation or walking to access larger grocery stores where vegetables
and fruit are available. These stores are outside the neighbourhood, which increases the
difficulty of securing affordable vegetables and fruit (20). Furthermore, customers typically
pay an average 1.6 times more for identical food items purchased at food retailers
accessible in their neighbourhood than they would in larger grocery stores (20). These food
retailers (i.e., convenience stores) are less likely to carry foods considered part of a healthy
diet (i.e., vegetables and fruit) and more likely to carry “unhealthy foods,” such as soft
drinks and processed foods (20). The lack of FV access may have influenced participants’
low FV consumption. Interventions to help increase FV intake among children in this
neighbourhood, and elsewhere, need to address the predictors of FV consumption
discussed in this article. Recommendations In summary, the eating habits of these
7. participants revealed limited consumption of FV. Because FV consumption is correlated
with inadequate consumption of fibre and other nutrients, as well as with overall diet
quality (18), health professionals and stakeholders must work with children,
parents/guardians, and educators to promot …Applying the Theories of Reasoned Action
