SUMMARY:Seminar - The supermarket food environment and the promotion of healthier purchasing behaviour
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar by:\n \nDr Adrian Cameron\, Senior Research Fellow at the Deakin University Global Obesity Centre (GLOBE).\n\nThe supermarket food environment and the promotion of healthier purchasing behaviour\n\nMRC Epidemiology Unit meeting rooms 1 and 2\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus\nAbstract\nThe retail food environment is increasingly recognized as a key determinant of purchasing and eating behaviours. Large supermarkets are the major source of food for the majority of households and enjoy market domination in food/grocery retail expenditure in most high income countries. Here\, I will discuss several international audit studies of the supermarket food environment we have undertaken over the past five years as well as a number of controlled trials that we have conducted in Australia to use marketing techniques (involving product\, placement and promotion) to promote healthier purchasing behaviour in the supermarket setting. \nAbout Dr Cameron\n\nDr Adrian Cameron’s research is focused on improving the food environment to encourage healthy eating and obesity prevention. Together with colleagues at Deakin University’s Global Obesity Centre\, he is conducting supermarket-based trials to generate the evidence required to influence retailers\, advocates and policy makers. He has received several research awards for his work including the 2016 VicHealth Award for Healthy Eating and is a section editor for BMC Obesity. He is currently supported by grants and fellowships from VicHealth\, NHMRC and ARC. \nSign up for future seminars\n[gravityform id=”1″ name=”CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar Series sign-up” title=”false”]

SUMMARY:Seminar - Implications of Brexit on the effectiveness of the UK soft drinks industry levy upon coronary heart disease in England: a modelling study
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar by:\n \nEvi Seferidi\, Public Health Policy Evaluation Unit\, School of Public Health\, Imperial College London.\n\nImplications of Brexit on the effectiveness of the UK soft drinks industry levy upon coronary heart disease in England: a modelling study\n\nMRC Epidemiology Unit meeting rooms 1 and 2\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus\nAbstract\nApproximately a year after the implementation of the soft drinks industry levy\, the UK plans to leave the European Union. The trade arrangements that the UK will adopt after Brexit are likely to influence the price of food and food ingredients including sugar\, which currently follows European regulations under the Common Agricultural Policy. This could potentially interfere with the effectiveness of the planned soft drinks industry levy. We used the IMPACT Food Policy model to estimate the implications of Brexit on the price of sugar and the impact of the proposed soft drinks industry levy on cardiovascular mortality and inequalities in England. \nAbout Evi Seferidi\n\nEvi is a PhD student in the Public Health Policy Evaluation Unit\, School of Public Health\, Imperial College London. She has a background in nutrition with a particular focus on epidemiology and public health. Currently\, her research involves the evaluation of fiscal and trade policies to assess their impacts on diet and health outcomes using modelling techniques. \nSign up for future seminars\n[gravityform id=”1″ name=”CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar Series sign-up” title=”false”]

SUMMARY:Seminar - Pathways to healthy urban living
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar by:\n \nProfessor Mark Nieuwenhuijsen\, ISGlobal\, The Barcelona Institute for Global Health. \nPathways to healthy urban living\n\nMRC Epidemiology Unit meeting rooms 1 and 2\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus\nAbstract\nOver 50% of the world´s population is living in cities and this is expected to rise to 70% over the next few decades.  Cities are society’s predominant engine of innovation and wealth creation\, but also main sources of crime\, pollution\, and disease.   Partly due to poor urban and transport planning\, or the lack thereof\, we have cities that are too car dominated.  All the urban planning in the world seems for cars; People do not matter.  This has led to high air pollution and noise levels\, heat island effects and lack of green space and physical activity that are all detrimental to health.  For example\, a recent health impact assessment in Barcelona estimated that 20% of premature mortality was due to urban and transport related exposures.  Electric cars and/or autonomous vehicles have been mentioned as possible solutions\, but they are unlikely to be\, and solutions need to be sought elsewhere. \nA new long term visioning of healthy urban future is needed that bring health\, sustainability and livable at the forefront of urban and transport planning.  Systemic approaches to the current problems and e.g. a shift away from our grey car centric cities towards cities with more public and active transportation and green space are urgently needed. Collaboration between e.g. urban and transport planners\, environmentalists and public health professionals is essential to create healthy sustainable and livable cities. \nAbout Professor Nieuwenhuijsen\n\nMark J Nieuwenhuijsen PhD is a world leading expert in environmental exposure assessment\, epidemiology\, and health risk/impact assessment with a strong focus and interest on healthy urban living. He has experience and expertise in areas of all cause mortality\, respiratory and cardiovascular disease\, mental health and cognitive function\, cancer and reproductive health\, and exposure measurement and modelling of indoor and outdoor air pollution\, green space\, UV exposure\, noise\, temperature and physical activity\, using new technology such as GIS\, smartphones\, personal sensors and remote sensing. He is currently PI on the EC funded HELIX\, that examines the early life exposome and childhood diseases\, EC funded EXPOsOMICs that examines the air pollution and water exposome and health\, the EC funded PASTA study\, which promotes active transportation through sustainable transport\, and the EC funded BlueHealth project evaluating the relationship between blue space and Health. He worked at the University of California\, Davis\, USA and Imperial College London\, UK\, and is now professor at ISGlobal\, Barcelona\, Spain. He edited 3 textbooks on exposure assessment and environmental epidemiology and has coauthored more than 350 peer reviewed papers. \nSign up for future seminars\n[gravityform id=”1″ name=”CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar Series sign-up” title=”false”]

SUMMARY:Seminar - Dr Alison Tedstone
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar by:\n \nDr Alison Tedstone\, Chief Nutritionist Public Health England (PHE).\n\nTackling obesity in England: a policy journey\n\nMeeting Rooms 1&2\, Level 4\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus\n\nAbstract\nIn the seminar I will reflect on the key steps in developing current policy on obesity\, with a focus on evidence to action including how evidence from the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition and Public Health England (PHE) was used. The importance of NGO’s\, academics\, media and other stakeholders as well as public opinion will be considered. The implementation policies that PHE is responsible for will be reviewed and what might be impactful in the future. \nAbout Dr Tedstone\n\nDr Alison Tedstone is Deputy Director with responsibility for diet\, nutrition and obesity in the Health Improvement Directorate of Public Health England (PHE). Her teams work areas include the National Diet and Nutrition Survey\, nutrient composition of foods\, scientific advice on nutrition (including the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition)\, and advice on nutrition and actions to improve diet\, including work underpinning the government’s Childhood Obesity Plan with the food industry to reduce the sugar\, salt and calorie content of everyday foods. The division also coordinates\, across PHE\, a programme of work aimed at tackling the nation’s obesity problem which supports national and local level delivery\, including actions aimed at improving systems leadership and addressing the environmental causes of obesity. \nAlison transferred with other nutrition colleagues from the Department of Health in 2013 and before that from the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in 2010. Before joining the FSA\, in 2001\, Alison was an academic at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Alison completed post doctorate research in Oxford and is a registered public health nutritionist. \n  \nSign up for future seminars\n[gravityform id=”1″ name=”CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar Series sign-up” title=”false”]
