Presentation by Harry Rutter (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine/Public Health England) at Design Council's Active by Design Summit, 18 September 2014.
This document summarizes answers to quick check questions about factors influencing population demography. It discusses improvements in living standards, changes in women's roles, class differences in family size and access to resources, how women working can decrease birth rates, and how smaller families and better childcare have impacted demography. It also addresses trends in younger generations delaying childbearing to pursue education and careers, higher fertility rates among immigrant mothers, and how migrants initially decrease but may later increase dependency ratios.
Measuring Impact of Living Conditions on Child Mortality RatesAllisonDong
This presentation is based off of an Excel project for my SPEA V261 course. Data from the United Nations was used to measure the impact of living conditions on child mortality rates worldwide. Here are our findings.
Preventing Childhood Obesity: The Need To Create Healthy PlacesKlausGroenholm
The document discusses recommendations for cities and communities to help address childhood obesity. It finds that childhood obesity rates vary significantly among cities/communities in LA County and are strongly associated with the level of economic hardship and amount of park space per capita. It recommends that cities/communities take steps like incorporating health into planning, increasing parks/green spaces, improving safety in recreation areas, developing school collaborations, establishing safe routes to schools, promoting menu labeling, and increasing access to healthy foods.
This document outlines the UK government's new cross-government strategy to address rising obesity rates in England. The strategy aims to reverse the trend of increasing obesity by 2020, with a focus on reducing childhood obesity rates to 2000 levels. It acknowledges obesity is a complex issue requiring action across many areas of society. The strategy proposes actions in five key areas: promoting children's health, promoting healthy food, increasing physical activity, supporting workplace health, and improving treatment for obesity. It aims to radically transform opportunities for healthier choices and improve information and support. The strategy represents the first steps, and progress will be monitored annually to strengthen policies. The vision is for all children to grow up at a healthy weight through healthy eating and active lifestyles.
This document is a report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on a Fit and Healthy Childhood examining the link between movement and positive mental health in children. It provides context on the growing concerns around children's mental health in the UK. The report includes 10 chapters covering topics such as the historical definitions of mental health, wellbeing and movement, the mind-body connection, the impact of digital culture, intervention approaches, addressing inequalities, international models of practice, training needs and recommendations. It aims to inform government policy and strategy to position increasing movement and physical activity as a preventative approach to mental health support for young people.
Growing Trends: School-Based Community Gardens As A Grassroots Response To Ch...angeliaGeo
School-based community gardens are being established as a grassroots response to the childhood obesity crisis in the United States. The document discusses how childhood obesity has tripled over the last 30 years, affecting over 30% of American children. It also notes the disparate impact on minority groups. While nutrition at home is part of the problem, schools could have the largest impact on child wellness given that children spend most of their day there. In response, some parents, educators and students have started school garden cooperatives to provide healthier food options and increase physical activity.
The document summarizes the key reasons for change outlined in the 2011 Transforming Your Care (TYC) review of Northern Ireland's health and social care system. The main drivers for change included an aging population, rising chronic conditions, and instability in the current system. TYC presented 11 compelling reasons for reform, including the need for more preventative care, patient-centered community services, sustainability due to rising demand, and better use of resources. Overall TYC made an "unassailable case for change" to move away from the current hospital-focused model.
1) The document summarizes a report from the Independent Accountability Panel (IAP) on progress towards the health-related Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Strategy for Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health.
2) The IAP finds that while some progress has been made in reducing child and maternal mortality, gaps between rich and poor groups remain and progress needs to be faster.
3) The IAP calls for stronger leadership, coordination between organizations, prioritizing of resources, and meaningful engagement of civil society to achieve the health goals.

This document discusses childhood obesity in New Jersey. It begins by defining childhood obesity and outlining national statistics on prevalence, causes, and effects. It then provides statistics specific to New Jersey, showing higher rates of obesity in low-income areas. The document discusses national initiatives like Let's Move and the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, as well as New Jersey's Partnership for Healthy Kids program. It provides examples of initiatives in New Jersey cities like Camden that aim to increase access to healthy foods and physical activity opportunities to help reduce childhood obesity rates.
1) The document discusses the importance of early intervention and prevention to give children the best start in life by establishing healthy behaviors and reducing inequalities from conception through age 5.
2) Key areas of focus include promoting healthy pregnancies, increasing breastfeeding rates, improving oral health, and supporting early childhood development.
3) An integrated, place-based approach is advocated, with strong local leadership, coordinated services between health and early years, and community engagement to develop effective policies and pathways of care.
This document discusses the potential for natural environments to help reduce health inequalities in England. It provides background on health inequalities, noting a social gradient where less wealthy neighborhoods have worse health outcomes. The natural environment is identified as an important social determinant of health. Four priority areas are examined in relation to health inequalities: childhood obesity, long-term conditions, premature mortality, and mental health. The report recommends priorities for cross-sector action, including improving coordination, building the evidence base, ensuring sustainable delivery of natural environment programs, and increasing access to green spaces.
This document outlines the UK government's plan to improve nutrition and public health in England through encouraging healthier eating. It recognizes that while many in England eat well, poor diet is a major cause of health issues like cancer and heart disease. The plan aims to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables and decrease intake of fat, salt, and sugar to help reduce obesity, diseases, and health inequalities. It will coordinate efforts across different sectors and levels of government to support healthier choices and make nutrition information more available. The overall goal is to improve population health and reduce diet-related deaths and health costs in England.
This document discusses the declining physical activity levels and increasing obesity rates among children. It highlights statistics showing that most children do not meet physical activity guidelines and are less active as they age. The document argues that modern environments promote sedentary behaviors and unhealthy eating, and identifies factors contributing to childhood obesity like sugary drinks, urban sprawl, and lack of active transportation. It advocates for policies and environments that encourage physical activity, such as active school programs, walkable neighborhoods, and allowing children to play outside.
West West Auckland Integrated Care Project - Locality and Cluster AnalysisJonathan Simon onzm
This document provides a summary of health data and population characteristics for the West Auckland locality and three clusters within it - Henderson, Massey, and New Lynn. Some key findings include:
1) The West Auckland locality has a growing and increasingly diverse population, with higher deprivation than the overall Waitemata DHB region.
2) Life expectancy is lower in West Auckland compared to the overall DHB region, and varies between ethnic groups.
3) Both primary and secondary health care utilization is higher in West Auckland compared to the DHB as a whole. Rates of long-term conditions and hospital admissions are also generally higher.
4) There is variation in health indicators within the three clusters, with the
Diabetes has become the fastest growing chronic disease in New Zealand and a major cause of death for Māori. A community-based program in the Waikato region aims to prevent diabetes through health education, screening, and lifestyle changes. Key interventions include raising awareness of diabetes risks and promoting screening to catch cases early. Evaluating the program through surveys before and after will assess if the goal of minimizing complications was achieved to guide future programs.

INTRODUCTION ◊ 1
MESSAGE FROM THE SURGEON
GENERAL
Our nation stands at a crossroads. Today’s
epidemic of overweight and obesity threatens the
historic progress we have made in increasing
American’s quality and years of healthy life.
Two-third of adults1 and nearly one in three
children are overweight or obese.2 In addition,
many racial and ethnic groups and geographic
regions of the United States are
disproportionately affected.3 The sobering impact
of these numbers is reflected in the nation’s
concurrent epidemics of diabetes, heart disease,
and other chronic diseases. If we do not reverse
these trends, researchers warn that many of our
children—our most precious resource—will be
seriously afflicted in early adulthood with
medical conditions such as diabetes and heart
disease. This future is unacceptable. I ask you to
join me in combating this crisis.
Every one of us has an important role to play in
the prevention and control of obesity. Mothers,
fathers, teachers, business executives, child care
professionals, clinicians, politicians, and
government and community leaders—we must
all commit to changes that promote the health
and wellness of our families and communities.
As a nation, we must create neighborhood
communities that are focused on healthy nutrition
and regular physical activity, where the healthiest
choices are accessible for all citizens. Children
should be having fun and playing in
environments that provide parks, recreational
facilities, community centers, and walking and
bike paths. Healthy foods should be affordable
and accessible. Increased consumer knowledge
and awareness about healthy nutrition and
physical activity will foster a growing demand
for healthy food products and exercise options,
dramatically influencing marketing trends.
Hospitals, work sites, and communities should
make it easy for mothers to initiate and sustain
breastfeeding as this practice has been shown to
prevent childhood obesity. Working together, we
will create an environment that promotes and
facilitates healthy choices for all Americans. And
we will live longer and healthier lives.

GEOGRAPHY IGCSE: POPULATION DYNAMICS. It contains: increase in the world's population, over and under population, anti and pro-natalist policies, China's one child policy, France population strategies, Bristol case study.
This review paper examines evidence on dietary and other factors that influence weight gain and obesity at the population level. It finds convincing evidence that regular physical activity and high fiber intake protect against obesity, while sedentary lifestyles and consumption of calorie-dense, nutrient-poor foods increase obesity risk. It recommends a range of strategies to address obesity, including making healthy foods more available, limiting marketing of unhealthy foods to children, promoting active transportation, and improving health services and messaging around nutrition and physical activity. Comprehensive programs are needed to reverse obesity epidemic trends affecting both rich and poor countries.
This document provides an executive summary of a report from the independent Mental Health Taskforce to the NHS in England. It summarizes the current state of mental health in England, noting that 1 in 4 adults experience a diagnosable mental health problem each year. It also discusses policy context and initiatives over the past 50 years. Key points made include that half of all mental health problems emerge by age 14, and 1 in 10 children have a diagnosable mental health problem. It recommends providing equal status and funding for mental and physical health in the NHS to improve mental health care.
The document discusses the economic costs of inadequate breastfeeding rates in several countries. It finds that in China, India, Nigeria, Mexico and Indonesia alone, inadequate breastfeeding costs nearly $119 billion per year due to child mortality, healthcare costs, and lost future wages from reduced cognitive ability in children. Meeting the global target of 50% exclusive breastfeeding by 2025 would require an additional $5.7 billion investment, but could generate $300 billion in economic gains and save over 500,000 children's lives. Every $1 invested in breastfeeding generates $35 in economic returns.
This document is a report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on a Fit and Healthy Childhood that examines mental health in childhood in the UK. It provides an overview of current child mental health services, identifies areas for improvement, and makes recommendations. Key areas discussed include maternal and early childhood mental health, services in schools and the community, training for professionals, and the impact of social media and screen time. The report recommends prioritizing early intervention, improving and increasing access to CAMHS services, enhancing training for professionals, and establishing a national in-school counseling service among other strategies to better support child mental health in the UK.
This document summarizes the key findings of a report on physical inactivity in the UK. It finds that 1 in 4 people in England are inactive, failing to meet guidelines of 30 minutes of moderate activity per week. Inactivity levels are about 10% higher in more deprived areas. There is also a relationship between inactivity and premature mortality, with more inactive areas having higher premature death rates. However, there is no significant connection between green space availability and inactivity levels. The document calls for a national strategy to reduce inactivity rates by 1% annually, which could save local authorities £1.2 billion over 5 years. It recommends prioritizing inactivity programs and developing evidence-based initiatives to engage inactive groups.

This document provides a critique of government strategies in the UK and locally in Sunderland to reduce childhood obesity over the last decade. It begins with an introduction describing rates of childhood obesity nationally and in Sunderland. It then examines potential causes of obesity and discusses national and local strategies related to nutrition, physical activity, and food in schools. The document compares these strategies and evaluates their effectiveness in reducing childhood obesity.
The Cambridge Lipidomics Biomarker Research Initiative (CLBRI) was launched with £2 million in funding to establish a center of excellence for lipidomics research. The initiative will develop new mass spectrometry techniques and a lipidomics database to study the roles of lipids in health and disease by identifying lipid biomarkers. It aims to gain new insights into conditions like diabetes and heart disease and eventually enable personalized health and nutrition recommendations.
The document discusses strategies for tackling stunting from the beginning. It recommends a preventive and early intervention approach, community empowerment, and improving health care services to ensure sustainability through quality improvement processes. Specific interventions discussed include delaying cord clamping, promoting breastfeeding, dietary diversity and complementary feeding, facility-based management of severe and moderate acute malnutrition according to WHO protocols, community-based management of severe acute malnutrition, identifying at-risk children, fortified food supplements, deworming, zinc therapy for diarrhea, multiple micronutrient supplementation including iron, and vitamin A supplementation.
Fashion Revolution is a global movement calling for greater transparency, sustainability and ethics in the fashion industry. It aims to radically change how clothes are sourced, produced and purchased so that what people wear is made in a safe, clean and fair way. Over the years, Fashion Revolution has used events, campaigns and resources to educate people and put pressure on brands, and it is starting to have an impact as some brands are becoming more transparent about their supply chains and some factories are improving working conditions. However, more still needs to be done to transform the entire fashion system.

Camden Active Spaces Presentation - Active by DesignDesign Council
The document discusses a project in the London Borough of Camden aimed at increasing physical activity levels among children and adolescents. It notes that many children and girls in particular do not meet physical activity guidelines. The project involves designing new playgrounds at schools and using accelerometers to measure physical activity levels before and after the playground upgrades, to evaluate if the new playgrounds increase activity. It also involves fitness testing of students. The goal is to determine if upgraded playgrounds can successfully increase physical activity and improve health and well-being.
Physical inactivity has become a global epidemic, with this generation of kids being the most inactive in history. The document discusses the rise of physical inactivity due to modern conveniences and the normalization of sedentary behaviors. Data shows countries have become 30-50% less active in just 1-2 generations. This inactivity cycle negatively impacts health, education, earnings potential, and economies. However, creating regular positive experiences with physical activity from ages 7 to 12 can help establish active behaviors that last into adulthood. A united effort is needed across sectors to address this issue and shift perceptions of physical activity from optional to essential.

This document summarizes key points from Riccardo Marini's Active by Design Summit presentation in London. It discusses how prioritizing pedestrian and cyclist access over vehicles can make cities healthier and more vibrant. Specific strategies highlighted include reducing car infrastructure to make room for walking, cycling, and public spaces; implementing pilot projects like Summer Streets in New York to test pedestrianizing streets; and learning from Copenhagen's success in increasing non-motorized traffic through good urban design.

Cabe Design Council - Estate of the Nation by Alison BrooksDesign Council
Alison Brooks Architects has undertaken several estate regeneration projects in London, redeveloping housing estates to create diverse neighborhoods for 21st century living. Some key principles of their design approach include restoring the street and civic spaces, introducing a variety of housing typologies and architectural styles, and emphasizing local identity and communal areas. Local authorities play an important role as long-term stewards who enable high quality, mixed-use developments through partnerships with private sector organizations.
Here are the presentations from the launch of our Leading Business by Design research report, conducted by Warwick Business School. This qualitative research project investigates the strategic use of design at senior levels in a sample of UK and global businesses.

3. Child obesity prevalence is closely associated with socioeconomic status. More deprived populations tend to have higher obesity
prevalence.
Obesity prevalence in the most deprived 10% of the population is approximately twice that among in the least deprived 10%.
The deprivation deciles in this analysis have been assigned using the LSOA of residence of children measured. The figures in this
chart will differ slightly from the data published by the Health and Social Care Information Centre as their figures are based on
the IMD decile of the LSOA of the school attended by each child.
