How is weight stigma related to children's health-related quality of life? A model comparison approach
2018
Purpose. Obesity is a highly stigmatizing condition for both adults and children, and both obesity and stigma experiences are negatively related with Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). However, the relations among these constructs have been modeled in different and sometimes inconsistent terms in past research, and have been the object of surprisingly few studies in pediatric populations. The present study addresses this gap by comparing, in a sample of pre-adolescent children, four competing models (i.e., additive, mediation, moderation, and moderated-mediation models) accounting for the role of stigma experiences in the concurrent relation between body weight and HRQoL. Methods: A co…
Analysing the effect of public health campaigns on reducing excess weight: a modelling approach for the Spanish Autonomous Region of the Community of…
2012
Abstract Excess weight is fast becoming a serious health concern in the developed and developing world. The concern of the public health sector has lead to the development of public health campaigns, focusing on two-fold goals: to inform the public as to the health risks inherent in being overweight, and the benefits of a change in nutritional behaviour. Recent studies indicate that the effects of the average public health campaign on the target community is around 5%. In this study we aim to quantify the effect of different public health campaigns on lifestyle behaviour in the target populations in order to bring about weightloss in a significant number of people over the next few years.

Ēšanas traucējumu pazīmes, attieksme pret lieko svaru un ķermeņa tēla uztvere veģetāriešiem
2017
Maģistra darba mērķis ir noteikt kādas ir saistības un atšķirības ēšanas traucējumu pazīmēm attieksmē pret lieko svaru un ķermeņa tēla uztveri gaļas ēdājiem un veģetāriešiem. Pētījumā piedalījās 205 respondenti vecumā no 18-76 gadiem. Respondenti sastāv no divām izlasēm. Pirmājā ietilpst cilvēki, kuri ir gaļas ēdāji, bet otrā, cilvēki, kuri ir veģetārieši. Pētījuma izlases veidoja 127 gaļas ēdāji un 78 veģetārieši. 85 no dalībniekiem ir vīrieši un 120 ir sievietes. Pētījumā ir iekļautas trīs aptaujas. Tika izmantota aptauja par attieksmi pret ēšanu, lai mērītu ēšanas traucējumu pazīmes. Lai mērītu rezultātus attieksmē pret lieko svaru, tika izmantota anti-tukluma attieksmju, bet ķermeņa tēl…
Mathematical modelling of social obesity epidemic in the region of Valencia, Spain
2010
In this article, we analyse the incidence of excess weight in 24- to 65-year-old residents in the region of Valencia, Spain, and predict its behaviour in the coming years. In addition, we present some possible strategies to prevent the spread of the obesity epidemic. We use classical logistic regression analysis to find out that a sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy nutritional habits are the most important causes of obesity in the 24- to 65-year-old population in Valencia. We propose a new mathematical model of epidemiological type to predict the incidence of excess weight in this population in the coming years. Based on the mathematical model sensitivity analysis, some possible general stra…
