Secondary school pupils' food choices around schools in a London borough: Fast food and walls of crisps
2016, AppetiteCitation Excerpt :The National Obesity Observatory (2012) mapped fast food outlets for England and concluded that there is a relationship between the number of fast foods outlets per area (density), the obesity status of children and areas of higher deprivation. The key is to look to determine how these obesogenic environments can be controlled (Alcorn, 2012; Mitchell, Cowburn, & Foster, 2011; Stevenson, 2011). Deprived areas tended to have both higher concentrations of fast food outlets and higher levels of childhood obesity (Burgoine et al., 2014; Zenk & Schultz, 2009), a fact repeated in our study.
Time to Change Our Focus: Defining, Promoting, and Impacting Cardiovascular Population Health
2015, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Between 1987 and 2009, these efforts helped New York City increase the life expectancy of its citizens. Notably, all 5 boroughs were in the top 1% nationally in life expectancy improvement, with Manhattan’s increase of 10 years ranking as the single largest improvement in the country (15). Unfortunately, though improvements have been made, socioeconomic inequities leading to disparities in access to care persist, and have been established as risk factors for CVD.
Case studies in nanny state name-calling: What can we learn?
2015, Public HealthCitation Excerpt :Between 2002 and 2012, the adult smoking rate in New York City fell by 28%; among youth smokers, it fell by 52% (2001–2011).25 Many of those who quit will now live longer and healthier lives, thanks to Bloomberg's ‘nanny state’ – a model for city and municipal governments worldwide.27–29 Hitchens' New York City crime spree occurred when Hitchens was at the height of his powers: flamboyant, provocative, entertaining, but most importantly, not dying from diseases the city's public health policies were intended to prevent.
Dietary behaviors and oral-systemic health in women
2013, Dental Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :This revolutionary city-wide stipulation is the first of its kind in the United States, although the city of New York has passed previous bans on smoking in bar settings, removed whole milk selections from city schools and trans fat additives in food, and required calorie labeling in restaurants.191 Although community-based food ban policies are in their infancy, their basis is justifiable to improving the community health of residents of all.192 Currently, community-level efforts are discussed only regarding obesity prevention and do not include the angle of oral health.
The planning system and fast food outlets in London: Lessons for health promotion practice
2013, Revista Portuguesa de Saude PublicaCitation Excerpt :It is notable that while New York adopts informational behaviour change initiatives as in the case of calorie labelling, this is within a policy portfolio with a strong presence of regulation. This approach has been credited with “NY City's life expectancy rising faster than anywhere else in the USA” and attributed to the “…city's aggressive efforts to reshape New York's social environment…” a movement led by the city's public health department with forceful backing from its Mayor.66 The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.
