ANPHA obesity study call
May 9, 2013
THE Australian National
Preventive Health Agency has
released tender documents for
the production of three studies
into obesity, covering the impact
of sugary beverages, sedentary
behaviour and an analysis of
obesity prevalence trends.
“Overweight and obesity is
one of the greatest public health
challenges Australia is currently
facing,” the tender documents
state, with many health
conditions associated with being
overweight preventable.
The “evidence briefs” will
analyse peer-reviewed literature
on obesity and preventive health,
with an overview of policy
implications for the government.
The sugar-sweetened beverage
study should include influence
on obesity in children, social
determinants of consumption,
percentage of total dietary intake
and differences in consumption
by age and sex.
A report on sedentary behaviour
should provide evidence on
how much it contributes to
weight gain, while the analysis of
obesity prevalence trends should
examine the condition correlated
by age, gender, socioeconomic
status, jusrisdiction and various
cultural populations.
