Incorporating the catering sector in nutrition policies of WHO European Region / Carl Lachat in Public Health Nutrition, 12(2009)3 ([03/02/2009])  

[article] Incorporating the catering sector in nutrition policies of WHO European Region : is there a good recipe? [printed text] / Carl Lachat, Author ; Dominique Roberfroid , Author ; Lieven Huybregts ; John Van Camp ; Patrick Kolsteren . - 2009 . - 316-324. Languages : English (eng) in Public Health Nutrition > 12(2009)3 [03/02/2009] . - 316-324 Descriptors: Classification W 1 Serials. Periodicals Indexation Advertising ; Epidemiology ; European Union ; Food Labeling ; Food Services ; Great Britain ; Health Promotion ; Humans ; Journal Article ; Nutrition Policy ; Obesity ; Peer Review ; Public Health ; Social Responsibility ; World Health Organization Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To review how countries of the WHO European Region address issues related to the catering sector in their nutrition policy plans. DESIGN: Documentary analysis of national nutrition policy documents from the policy database of the WHO Regional Office for Europe by a multidisciplinary research team. Recurring themes were identified and related information extracted in an analysis matrix. Case studies were performed for realistic evaluation. SETTING: Fifty-three member states of the WHO European Region in September 2007. RESULTS: The catering sector is a formally acknowledged stakeholder in national nutrition policies in about two-thirds of countries of the European region. Strategies developed for the catering sector are directed mainly towards labelling of foods and prepared meals, training of health and catering staff, and advertising. Half of the countries reviewed propose dialogue structures with the catering sector for the implementation of the policy. However, important policy fields remain poorly developed, such as strategies for stimulating and monitoring actual implementation of policies. Others are simply lacking, such as strategies to ensure affordability of healthy out-of-home eating or to enhance accountability of stakeholders. It is also striking that strategies for the private sector are rarely developed. CONCLUSIONS: Important policy issues are still embryonic. As evidence is accumulating on the impact of out-of-home eating on the increase of overweight, member states are advised to urgently develop operational frameworks and instruments for participatory planning and evaluation of stakeholders in public health nutrition policy.

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health / Geneva ; Manilla : World Health Organization (2001)  

International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health : ICF [printed text] . - Geneva ; Manilla : World Health Organization, 2001 . - iii, 299 p. : ill. ; 25 cm. ISBN : 978-92-4-154542-6 Languages : French (fre) Descriptors: Classification W 15 Terminology Indexation Anatomy ; Classification ; Disability Evaluation ; Disabled Persons ; Physiology ; World Health Organization Abstract: As a new member of WHO Family of International Classifications, ICF describes how people live with their health condition. ICF is a classification of health and health related domains that describe body functions and structures, activities and participation. The domains are classified from body, individual and societal perspectives. Since an individual's functioning and disability occurs in a context, ICF also includes a list of environmental factors. ICF is useful to understand and measure health outcomes. It can be used in clinical settings, health services or surveys at the individual or population level. Thus ICF complements ICD-10 , The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems and therefore is looking beyond mortality and disease. Contents note: The text represents a revision of the International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps (ICIDH), which was first published by the World Health Organization for trial purposes in 1980"--P. 3.
