Purchasing Behavior, Setting, Pricing, Family: Determinants of School Lunch Participation

Carolin Sobek, Peggy Ober, Sarah Abel, Ulrike Spielau, Wieland Kiess, Christof Meigen, Tanja Poulain, Ulrike Igel, Mandy Vogel, Tobias Lipek

Summary: Despite the increasing availability of school lunches in Germany, low utilization rates persist, with student preferences for unhealthy alternatives. Factors such as family background, breakfast habits, school type, and socioeconomic status were found to significantly impact school lunch participation. Nonparticipants cited issues like taste, time constraints, and pricing as primary reasons for not participating, with a higher frequency of purchasing sandwiches and energy drinks on school days compared to participants who were less affected by overweight. These findings highlight the importance of addressing school- and lunch-related factors to promote healthier school lunch choices.

Setting conservation priorities in multi-actor systems

Christopher J. O'Bryan, Jonathan R. Rhodes, Olusegun O. Osunkoya, Geoff Lundie-Jenkins, Nisansala Abeysinghe Mudiyanselage, Travis Sydes, Moya Calvert, Eve McDonald-Madden, Michael Bode

Summary: Nature conservation is often under-resourced, leading to the need for efficient allocation of limited funds. However, the current spending decisions by conservation actors do not align with their objectives, partially due to working alongside other organizations. By analyzing multi-actor systems, we demonstrate how interactions among conservation actors can create misalignment between spending and objectives, and why current uncoordinated prioritizations result in fewer conservation objectives achieved. Our findings suggest that misalignment is an inadequate metric for evaluating spending, current prioritization methods lack the capability to identify optimal decisions, and practical steps can be taken to promote coordination and improve the achievement of conservation objectives.

The associations of physical incapacity and wealth with remaining in paid employment after age 60 in five middle-income and high-income countries

Wentian Lu, Denes Stefler, Albert Sanchez-Niubo, Josep Maria Haro, Michael Marmot, Martin Bobak

Summary: Previous studies on the health and socio-economic determinants of later-life labour force participation have mainly focused on high-income European countries and the USA. This study examines the longitudinal associations between physical incapacity, wealth, and remaining in paid employment after age 60 in middle- and high-income countries. The findings suggest that physical incapacity is a significant predictor of lower odds of remaining in paid employment in all countries, while wealth is associated with higher odds of remaining in paid employment in the USA, England, and Japan, but not in Mexico.

Summary: Treatments for childhood cancer can have negative long-term effects. This study presents the Alberta Childhood Cancer Survivorship Research Program, its cohort, and statistical outcomes. The cohort consisted of 2580 childhood cancer survivors, mostly male, diagnosed between 0 and 4 years old with leukemia, CNS tumor, or lymphoma. The median time since diagnosis was 5.5 years overall and 10.4 years for 5-year survivors. During follow-up, 82 subsequent cancers were diagnosed, along with various healthcare events and deaths.

Secular trends of life expectancy and disability-free life expectancy at age 65 and associated gender and area-level socioeconomic inequalities in Hong Kong: a serial cross-sectional study between 2007 and 2020

Gary Ka-Ki Chung, Michael Marmot, Irene Yuk-Ying Ho, Siu-Ming Chan, Eric Tsz-Chun Lai, Samuel Yeung-Shan Wong, Eng-Kiong Yeoh, Jean Woo, Roger Yat-Nork Chung

Summary: This study assessed the gender-specific secular trends and area-level inequalities in life expectancy (LE) and disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) at age 65 in Hong Kong. The results showed that LE at age 65 increased by 3.7 years in men and 2.1 years in women between 2007 and 2020. However, DFLE increased at a slower rate, leading to a substantial increase in the proportion of life spent with disability. Furthermore, education was associated with both LE and DFLE, while female gender was more strongly associated with LE than with DFLE.
