The document analyzes data from the 2014 Scottish Health Survey on childhood overweight and obesity rates. It finds that over 30% of children aged 2-15 were at risk of overweight or obesity, with rates increasing with age. Nearly 20% of children were at risk of obesity. Girls had higher rates than boys for the first time in 2014. Children from lower-income households and more deprived areas faced higher risks of obesity. Overweight and obesity rates remained relatively steady between 2008-2014.
The document summarizes obesity trends among Primary 1 (P1) children in Scotland between 2005-2015. It finds that over 20% of P1 children were overweight or obese, with higher rates among boys and children from more deprived areas. The rates of overweight/obesity have remained steady over the past decade, with the highest levels in the Shetland Islands and lowest in East Dunbartonshire.
More than 6 out of 10 Scottish adults were overweight or obese according to 2014 data. Nearly 7 out of 10 men and over 6 out of 10 women were overweight or obese. Overweight and obesity rates were highest among older age groups and lower income groups and in more deprived areas. While overweight and obesity rates have remained steady in recent years, waist circumference and the prevalence of raised waist circumference have been increasing.

29 November Launch of the Global Nutrition Report 2018
The 2018 Global Nutrition Report shares insights into the current state of global nutrition, highlighting the unacceptably high burden of malnutrition in the world. It identifies areas where progress has been made in recent years but argues that it is too slow and too inconsistent. It puts forward five critical steps that are needed to speed up progress to end malnutrition in all its forms and argues that, if we act now, it is not too late to achieve this goal. In fact, we have an unprecedented opportunity to do so.
This document discusses health issues that disproportionately affect men in the UK. It provides statistics showing that men have higher rates of death under age 75 than women, and shorter life expectancies. Certain diseases like circulatory disease and cancer have higher mortality rates among men. Men also have higher rates of obesity, smoking, alcohol-related hospital admissions, and long-term health conditions than women. However, men are less likely than women to recognize symptoms of health conditions and use NHS services. Addressing these health issues could help reduce avoidable male deaths.
The document discusses plans to increase physical activity levels in Liverpool, England to improve public health. The goals are to exceed national physical activity targets by increasing the proportion of active residents by 1% per year. This would mean an additional 6,000 children and 4,000 adults would become more active each year. Currently, obesity levels are high in Liverpool, contributing to health issues and costs for the National Health Service. The proposed strategies to address this include programs in schools, neighborhoods, and facilities access to encourage physical activity among children and adults.
Nutrition in Ethiopia: An emerging success story?essp2
1) Ethiopia has experienced one of the fastest reductions in pre-schooler stunting in the 2000s, declining from 57.4% in 2000 to 44.2% in 2011.
2) This improvement is driven primarily by reductions in small birth size and improvements in maternal nutrition, likely related to reductions in open defecation from over 90% to 46%.
3) While birth size improvements were seen across rural and urban areas, improvements in child growth after birth were only seen in urban areas, potentially due to improved feeding practices and health/sanitation.

This document discusses prevention and health promotion in healthcare across Europe. It defines what good prevention and health promotion looks like, including health education programs, adult and child immunization policies, disease screening programs, infection prevention policies, and improving secondary prevention through risk factor reduction. The document emphasizes that while policymakers acknowledge the need to shift focus to prevention, progress has been variable. It argues that prevention is a cost-effective investment that can improve health and reduce disease burden and health inequalities.

The document summarizes key facts about mental health and work in the United Kingdom. It notes that mental illness costs the UK economy £70 billion annually, with over half due to lost employment and productivity. People with mental illness fare poorly in the labor market with high unemployment. It recommends early intervention for those with mental illness who still have jobs, improving employment supports for those on welfare benefits, and enhancing the employment focus of the health system to better integrate mental health and employment services.
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.
EIT Health: Impact on healthcare in EuropeEITHEALTH

The document discusses mental health integration and provision for supporting people with mental illness in the UK. It finds that the UK ranks second overall in the Mental Health Integration Index, scoring highly in categories like environment and governance. While each constituent part has its own policies and successes, England is the focus since it contains most of the UK population. The document outlines England's long evolution of policies from deinstitutionalization to recent efforts to achieve "parity of esteem" between mental and physical health. However, it finds that fully implementing reforms and integrating services remains a work in progress, as serious treatment gaps persist.
This document provides information on employee engagement, wellbeing, and productivity. Some key points:
- Employee engagement is low, with only 35% of global employees fully engaged at work due to stress. Disengaged UK employees cost the economy over £17 billion per year.
- Highly engaged organizations have 87% lower staff turnover and 20% higher performance. They also have fewer sick days.
- Stress costs the UK economy nearly 10% of its GDP annually. 500,000 suffer work-related stress with little support.
- The Workwell Campaign aims to create the most engaged workforce worldwide by promoting physical, psychological, and social health for sustained performance. It provides tools and guidelines to help organizations.
This document discusses integrated care and wellbeing platforms that converge health and social services. It describes telecare and telehealth services that use remote monitoring technologies to monitor vital signs and detect issues like falls or floods. The goal is to better coordinate services, reduce duplication, and improve outcomes for chronic disease patients. On average, telecare users have more chronic conditions than the general population. The document advocates for more proactive, patient-centered models of integrated care between health and social services. This includes sharing clinical and social data to provide a unified view of the population for clinicians and researchers.
HSCIC commissions and manages contracts to carry out surveys on all aspects of health and social care.
Currently the surveys it manages includes, for example:
Health Survey for England
Health Survey for England: Blood bank
Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use Amongst Young People
Dental Health Survey of Children and Young People
Infant Feeding Survey
Adult Dental Health Survey
HSCIC analysts and data experts have experience of running complex health surveys.
They can carry out surveys on behalf of other organisations, both local and national. The service includes:
• offering advice on running and commissioning surveys
• commissioning and managing whole surveys
• adding questions in existing surveys
• adding sample boosts in existing surveys.
A sample boost involves carrying out additional questionnaires to build a more robust sample depending on customer requirements, for example additional surveys could be conducted for a certain geographical area or a certain demographic group.

This document summarizes a presentation on health care reform in Ireland. It discusses:
1) Long-term perspectives on the Irish economy, demography, and politics, noting population growth and declining support for major political parties.
2) Comparisons of the Irish, Dutch, and German health care models, suggesting Ireland move toward a private model like the Netherlands.
3) Issues with rising health spending in Ireland that exceeds population and inflation growth, arguing spending is misdirected through centralized bargaining and a hospital in every town model.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined «healthy ageing»
as the process of developing and maintaining the functional ability
that enables wellbeing in older age. WHO describes this functional ability as being formed by interactions between intrinsic capacity and environmental characteristics.
The intrinsic capacity includes the mental and physical capacities of a person.
The environmental characteristics are related to home, community and society as a whole

The document is a report from the OECD titled "Health at a Glance 2015" that provides data on key health indicators across OECD countries. It includes sections on health status, risk factors, health workforce, health spending, and quality of care. Some of the key findings summarized are: average life expectancy has increased over 10 years to over 80 years across OECD countries; obesity and smoking rates have also risen but are declining in some countries; healthcare spending has grown but pharmaceutical spending has been cut in many countries through increased generic drug use; and countries vary in terms of physician and nurse pay and the proportion that are foreign-trained.
The document discusses the relationship between health, work, and worklessness. Some key points:
- Over 74% of people are employed, and most adults spend 60% of their waking hours at work.
- Safe, healthy work is good for health while unemployment or dangerous work can harm health. However, health issues can also act as a barrier to employment.
- To improve adult health, workplaces must be made safe and health-promoting, and support must be provided to help individuals with health issues find and keep jobs.
- Multiple national and local policies aim to address issues around health, work, and worklessness through a coordinated, "whole system" approach.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

The health status in London is similar to England and the UK. The highest proportion of the
population reporting ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’ health status are the over 65s, in London, England,
and the UK, followed by the 50-64 year old age group.
‘Bad’ or ‘very bad’ health status increases with
