Instruments for Health Surveys in Children and Adolescents
This book describes key methods and instruments for assessing diet-related factors, physical activity, social and environmental factors, physical characteristics and health-related outcomes in children and adolescents. These tools were developed and deployed within the framework of the pan-European IDEFICS and I.Family cohort studies. These population-based field studies were funded within the 6th and 7th European Framework Programme, respectively, and were intended to assess the prevalence and aetiology of lifestyle-related diseases in children, focusing on overweight and obesity, and to develop effective strategies for primary prevention. In the course of a decade we undertook a major rese...
Taste, Nutrition and Health
The sensation of flavor reflects the complex integration of aroma, taste, texture, and chemesthetic (oral and nasal irritation cues) from a food or food component. Flavor is a major determinant of food palatability—the extent to which a food is accepted or rejected—and can profoundly influence diet selection, nutrition, and health. Despite recent progress, gaps in knowledge still remain regarding how taste and flavor cues are detected at the periphery, conveyed by the brainstem to higher cortical levels, and then interpreted as a conscious sensation. Taste signals are also projected to central feeding centers where they can regulate hunger and fullness. Individual differences in sensory ...

Ethics and the Endangerment of Children's Bodies
This book addresses the endangerment of children’s bodies in affluent societies. Bodily integrity is an important part of a child’s physical and mental well-being, but it can also be violated through various threats during childhood; not only affecting physical health but also causing mental damage and leading to distortions in the development of the self. The authors give an account of three areas, which present different serious dangers: (1) body and eating, (2) body and sexuality, and (3) body and violence. Through an in-depth examination of the available theoretical and empirical knowledge, as well as a thorough ethical analysis, the central injustices in the mentioned areas are identified and the agents with responsibilities towards children displayed. The authors conclude by providing invaluable insight into the necessity of an ethical basis for policies to safeguard children and their bodies.
Aktiv und Gesund?
Sport gilt in westlichen Industriegesellschaften als ein gesellschaftlich akzeptiertes Mittel zur Gesundheitsbeeinflussung. Der Sammelband ist im Rahmen des DFG-Projekts „Der Einfluss der Gesundheit und gesundheitlicher Einschränkungen auf die sportliche Aktivität im mittleren und höheren Erwachsenenalter“ entstanden. Autoren verschiedener Disziplinen beleuchten den Zusammenhang von Sport und Gesundheit aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven. Einerseits werden Effekte sportlicher und körperlicher Aktivität auf verschiedene Aspekte der Gesundheit behandelt. Zum anderen sollen Veränderungen der Sportaktivität in Folge vom Auftreten von Erkrankungen analysiert werden. Weitere Beiträge behandeln die Frage, wie sich Sport und Bewegung fördern lassen. Es werden sowohl Ergebnisse aus qualitativen als auch aus quantitativen Untersuchungen berichtet.
Was passiert beim Schulessen?
Die Studie legt erstmalig eine umfassende Ethnografie zum Alltag des Schulessens vor. Dabei wird nachgezeichnet, was Kinder und Jugendliche beim Mittagessen erleben, was sie mit ihrem Essen und miteinander tun und welche Rollen Erwachsene bei alledem übernehmen. Deutlich wird, dass das Mittagessen in der Schule ein bedeutsamer interaktiver Raum der Kinderkultur darstellt, der jedoch je nach Alter der Schülerinnen und Schüler mehr oder weniger stark von Erwachsenen reguliert wird.
