“…One of the reasons of nutrition problems in the world is the lack of nutrition knowledge and consequently inappropriate performance in this category, which causes problems such as malnutrition and various non-communicable diseases [6]. Carnie's study showed that training and nutrition advice to US obese black women has been effective in reducing their weight and has led to a change in their eating habits [26]. Mobasheri also reported that nutritional counseling and education has been effective in improving the nutritional status of adults [3].…”

Proper and useful nutrition is one of the important, essential and vital factors in providing individuals, family and society health and safety. Suitable food provides movement and activity, satisfaction, vitality and ability to fight with the health problems as well as the health of the next generations [1, 2]. There are different food patterns between people at different levels of socioeconomic status, races, societies and cultures, and the socioeconomic development of any society is directly related to their nutritional behaviors [3]. Prevalence of malnutrition, lack of diversity in dietary patterns and the limited nutrition to consume of foodstuffs is very significant in Iran, as the presence of micronutrient deficiencies such as iron, iodine, calcium and vitamins deficiencies is seen in about Journal of Human, Environment and Health Promotion Journal homepage: www.zums.ac.ir/jhehp Background: Proper nutrition is one of the important, essential and vital factors in providing individuals, family and society health and safety.

The effect of workplace lifestyle programmes on diet, physical activity, and weight‐related outcomes for working women: A systematic review using the TIDieR checklist

et al. 2020

Summary Physical activity and healthy diets are essential for the prevention of obesity and chronic disease that disparately impact women compared with men. Given the number of women engaged in the workforce, workplace interventions could improve lifestyle behaviours and health outcomes for women. This systematic review aimed to identify intervention characteristics of lifestyle programmes or organizational policy changes in the workplace associated with improved diet, physical activity, or weight‐related outcomes for working women using the template for intervention description and replication (TIDieR) checklist. Seven databases were searched for controlled studies published up to March 2019 that included a workplace diet and/or physical activity intervention. From 5,318 identified records, 20 studies (23 articles and 26 intervention arms) were included. Data were extracted on diet, physical activity, weight‐related outcomes, and TIDieR components. Findings indicated that group delivery may improve physical activity outcomes, and a high number of sessions may benefit weight‐related outcomes for physical activity interventions. Mixed interventions that included tailoring and input from non‐healthcare professionals may also enhance physical activity. In contrast, the role of mixed interventions in improving diet and weight‐related outcomes was less clear. Overall, workplace health programmes were effective at improving lifestyle behaviours for working women.

Effectiveness of Workplace Weight Management Interventions: a Systematic Review

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A systematic review was conducted of randomized trials of workplace weight management interventions, including trials with dietary, physical activity, environmental, behavioral, and incentive-based components. Main outcomes were defined as change in weight-related measures. Keywords related to weight management and workplace interventions were used to search relevant databases, and 23 eligible studies were reviewed in detail using a data extraction form and quality assessment checklist. The trials were conducted mainly in the USA and Europe, with four additional countries represented. Interventions were mostly multicomponent and were implemented in both sexes and in a range of employment categories. Intervention effectiveness appeared unrelated to region of the world and was highest in 6-12-month trials. The results ranged widely from clinically significant 8.8-kg weight loss in one trial to less effective than the control treatment in others. Some workplace interventions achieve clinically significant benefits, and further studies are needed to replicate those results in wider sociocultural and geographical contexts.
