  • Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of the 'HEYMAN' Healthy Lifestyle Program for Young Men: a Pilot Randomised Controlled
    Ashton et al. Nutrition Journal (2017) 16:2 DOI 10.1186/s12937-017-0227-8 RESEARCH Open Access Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the ‘HEYMAN’ healthy lifestyle program for young men: a pilot randomised controlled trial Lee M. Ashton1, Philip J. Morgan2, Melinda J. Hutchesson1, Megan E. Rollo1 and Clare E. Collins1* Abstract Background: In young men, unhealthy lifestyle behaviours can be detrimental to their physical and/or mental health and set them on a negative health trajectory into adulthood. Despite this, there is a lack of evidence to guide development of effective health behaviour change interventions for young men. This study assessed the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the ‘HEYMAN’ (Harnessing Ehealth to enhance Young men’s Mental health, Activity and Nutrition) healthy lifestyle program for young men. Methods: A pilot RCT with 50 young men aged 18–25 years randomised to the HEYMAN intervention (n = 26) or waitlist control (n = 24). HEYMAN was a 3-month intervention, targeted for young men to improve eating habits, activity levels and well-being. Intervention development was informed by a participatory research model (PRECEDE-PROCEED). Intervention components included eHealth support (website, wearable device, Facebook support group), face-to-face sessions (group and individual), a personalised food and nutrient report, home-based resistance training equipment and a portion control tool. Outcomes included: feasibility of research procedures (recruitment, randomisation, data collection and retention) and of intervention components. Generalized linear mixed models estimated the treatment effect at 3-months for the primary outcomes: pedometer steps/day, diet quality, well-being and several secondary outcomes. Results: A 7-week recruitment period was required to enrol 50 young men.

Sustainability Implications of Different Food Production Systems Mario Herrero Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Brisbane, Australia Our food system, while providing food for billions of people, is currently malnourishing us. It directly affects one in three people around the world, causing stunting, wasting or obesity. The way in which we currently produce food is having substantial negative impacts on the environment in many parts of the world, and is trespassing several planetary boundaries.

This is a cross-sectional analysis of 148 young Australian males and females (55% female) aged 18 to 25 years. Dietary intake was assessed using a validated food frequency questionnaire, with responses used to calculate two dietary indices: (i) the Australian Recommended Food Score (ARFS); and (ii) the Fruit And Vegetable VAriety Score (FAVVA). Skin yellowness was measured at three body locations using reflectance spectroscopy. Associations were assessed using Spearman’s correlation coefficients, regression analysis, and agreement using weighted kappa (Kw). Significant, moderate correlations were found between skin yellowness and diet index scores for the ARFS (ρ = 0.30, p < 0.001) and FAVVA score (ρ = 0.39, p < 0.001).
