Postlaunch Monitoring of Functional Foods - Methodology development (III)

Article

Full-text available

The recognized importance of a detection system of potential health hazards of functional foods consumption has led to the development of methods carrying out the initial phases of such a system. Special focus was placed on feasible methods, key players and the tasks and competences of the players. Although functional food consumption may imply ben...

Overgewicht bij jonge kinderen en volwassenen: kwantificeren van de kloof tussen energie-inneming en energieverbruik

Article

For the first time in the Netherlands the gap between energy intake and energy expenditure has been quantified for children and adults. Small daily changes in energy balance may, in the long term, make the difference between becoming overweight or not. Ten per cent of two-year olds either develop overweight by the age of six or carry their overweig...

Het mogelijk effect van prijsbeleid op de voedselconsumptie: een orienterend onderzoek

Article

Full-text available

As yet, it is not possible to predict the effect of pricing policies on total food consumption. Data that account for unexpected side effects are scarce. For example, lowering the price of fruits does not by definition increase fruit consumption, but may lead to an increase of sales of another, unhealthy, product. Taxing "unhealthy" products and/or...

Clues to the prevention of overweight may well be found in a better understanding of the physiological processes involved in the regulation of energy balance and factors that influence these processes, such as dietary factors and smoking. A review of available literatu...

Kwantificeren van de gezondheidseffecten van voeding

Article

Full-text available

Simulations show that with an elevation of fruit, vegetable and fish consumption large health gains can be achieved. Model simulation is a good method to underpin nutritional policy. The RIVM Chronic Disease Model (CZM) can be used to calculate long term health effects and health care related costs of policy targets and dietary interventions. Simul...

Consumptie van een aantal lightproducten in relatie tot overgewicht. Een cross-sectionele studie

Article

Theoretically, diet products can be used to reduce energy intake and prevent overweight. However, the use of the similar non-diet products should also be more strictly reduced. These conclusions are based on an RIVM study on the food consumption of 750 Dutch young adults aged 19 30 and on the purchasing behaviour of 3200 Dutch households. Specifica...
