This paper presents baseline findings from a pilot study that aimed to implement RESHAPE at three mine sites in NSW, Australia, and investigates the issue of overweight and obesity in the coal mining industry. Across three mine sites, 949 coal miners were examined cross-sectionally on a range of workplace, wellness, health, diet, and exercise factors using a paper-based survey. This was a predominantly male sample (90.4%) with the majority (59.2%) of participants aged 25-44 years. Selfreported height and weight measures indicated that less than 20 percent (18.9%) of participants were in a healthy BMI range, while there were effectively equal numbers of overweight (40.9%) and obese (39.1%) participants. Only 3.5% of participants met the daily recommendation for vegetables (5 serves) and shift-workers had greater association with elevated BMI compared to non-shift workers (B = 1.21, 95% CI: 0.23, 2.20, p = 0.016). Poor nutrition is likely to be a key component in elevated levels of overweight and obesity within this industry, with workplace factors compounding challenges workers face in implementing health behavior change. Future studies would benefit from assessing diet and physical activity knowledge in relation to recommendations and serving sizes.]]> Tue 03 Aug 2021 18:29:05 AEST ]]> A systematic review of eHealth behavioral interventions targeting smoking, nutrition, alcohol, physical activity and/or obesity for young adults https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34460 Thu 28 Oct 2021 13:03:41 AEDT ]]> Engaging new parents in the development of a peer nutrition education model using participatory action research https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45357 Thu 27 Oct 2022 14:06:19 AEDT ]]> Workplace Health Promotion Programs Targeting Smoking, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity in Men: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54921 3 months, and pooled mean decrease in body mass index 0.06 kg/m2 up to 3 months; -0.27 kg/m2 for >3 months. Despite the encouraging direction of the relationship, results were not statistically significant (p > .05). Findings underscore the potential of workplace health promotion programs targeting certain chronic disease risk factors in men; however, future research should consider long-term study designs to assess the efficacy of workplace health programs as a solution to the growing burden of global disease.]]> Thu 21 Mar 2024 13:41:02 AEDT ]]> Development of the home cooking enviRonment and equipment inventory observation form (Home-CookERITM): an assessment of content validity, face validity, and inter-rater agreement https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39156 2 (1, n = 19; 19.0, p = 0.392)). Inter-rater agreement for the modified 81-item Home-CookERI™ was almost-perfect to perfect for 46% of kitchen items (n = 37 items, κ = 0.81–1), moderate to substantial for 28% (n = 23, κ = 0.51–0.8), slight to fair for 15% (n = 12, κ = 0.01–0.5), and chance or worse for 11% of items (n = 9, κ ≤ 0.0). Home-CookERITM was further optimized by reduction to a 77-item version, which is now available to researchers. Conclusion: Home-CookERI™ is a comprehensive tool for quantifying Australian household cooking environments. It has excellent face and content validity and moderate to perfect inter-rater agreement for almost three-quarters of included kitchen items. To expand Home-CookERI™ applications, a home occupant self-completion version is planned for validation.]]> Thu 19 May 2022 16:29:44 AEST ]]> Do disparities exist between national food group recommendations and the dietary intakes of contemporary young adults? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40266 Thu 07 Jul 2022 12:09:36 AEST ]]> Are health behaviors associated with academic performance among tertiary education students?
