“…Indeed, physical activity promotion is a key policy and practice concern for the care home population (Macintosh and Laventure 2014;Hawkins et al 2017). Our findings show that film could provide a useful vehicle for encouraging physical activity in care home residents and creating a window for providing health and well-being advice around movement and nutrition for example.…”

Many care home residents lack opportunities for meaningful activity and social connection, resulting in poor physical and emotional wellbeing. Providing residents with varied activities and social opportunities can improve their quality of life. In this paper, we examine the potential for film to provide a meaningful, social activity. The limited existing research on film in care homes has predominantly examined the use of film clips and materials in stimulating reminiscence for people with dementia. In this paper, we adopt a broader, trans-disciplinary perspective of film, drawing on evidence from Film Studies that shared spectatorship has social and emotional benefits for the viewer. We offer the first qualitative study of care home residents’ social, emotional and embodied engagement with feature-length film and identify the key benefits of film in this setting. We ran social film screenings in two Scottish care homes over six weeks. Underpinned by psycho-cinematic theory, we collected and analysed observational data alongside interviews with care home staff and discussion groups with residents. Our findings identified three ways in which film screenings benefit residents and supports social connection: prompting reminiscence; enhancing residents’ experiences in the present; and creating a shared future and intergenerational connections. The paper offers useful insights into the rich potential for film to enhance the care home community, facilitate social connectivity and promote resident wellbeing.

“…The activities used within LM are simple and undemanding and have been chosen to encourage resident’s confidence and independence, supporting them to carry out activities of daily life for themselves. This “active living” approach with a goal of building PA into the everyday life of residents has previously been identified as a key factor to successfully promoting PA throughout this sector (Macintosh and Laventure, 2014).…”

“…However, such activities have been criticised for being 'repetitive' and lacking in meaning for older adults (Gibson & Singleton, 2012). The aged-care setting is now faced with a further challenge: to promote and increase PA throughout the entirety of a resident's day, making it an integral part of daily life, rather than just a planned and structured event (Macintosh & Laventure, 2014). Recent developments [for example, the "Care […] about physical activity" resource pack (Care Inspectorate, 2014)] has further raised the importance of achieving regular PA within CHs.…”

“…Previous work by Macintosh & Laventure (2014) considered this new approach and highlighted the challenges that exist within CHs as an organisational 'setting' (Dooris, 2009) and how PA might successfully be promoted. Building on this work, this paper describes an evaluative case study of a practical initiative in Dumfries and Galloway (D&G), Scotland that attempted to achieve such aims.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to determine the antecedents of obesity among the younger generation of Indians (Generation Y) from a psychological and lifestyle consumer perspective. The study also investigates the moderating role of demography on the body mass index (BMI) of Indian youths.Design/methodology/approachThe study initially develops a conceptual model, stemming from an extensive theoretical research, and subsequently validates this using structural equation modeling (SEM) technique with a sample size of 1,242 Indian youths.FindingsThe study concludes that consumers' food habits (FH) and physical activity (PA) positively impact consumers' physical health (PH), which influences their BMI levels (BLs). Anxiety (AX), depression (DE), stress (ST), peer pressure (PP) and work pressure (WP) impact individuals' mental health (MH), which also influences their BLs. Finally, there is a significant moderating impact of demographic factors, such as age (AG), gender (GE) and income levels (ILs) on the relationship between individuals' physical and MH and individuals' BLs.Research limitations/implicationsThis study proposes a new model which highlights the issue of youth consumer obesity from the psychological and lifestyle perspectives. The model is effective as it has a high explanative power of 73%. The study investigates consumer obesity from emerging market like India perspective, but the study does not examine consumer food consumption behavior and obesity from developed market perspective.Practical implicationsYouth obesity could be considered a global pandemic, and obesity rates among the Indian youth are also increasing. This study provides valuable inputs and understanding of consumer markets to policy makers, consumer protection institutions, organizations related to the food and beverage industry, healthcare workers and consumers themselves regarding the antecedents of youth obesity (BL) in developing and emerging markets.Originality/valueThe study adds value to the body of literature related to consumer obesity, FH, consumer psychology and lifestyle through findings that are new in terms of findings' specificity, contextual focus and explication. Moreover, the study extends the cognitive theory of DE and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). The research effectively offers significant theoretical and practicable market knowledge to both scholars and marketing practitioners, as well as policy makers and institutions dealing with youth obesity, particularly in emerging markets.
