- ItemErratum: Estimating Free and Added Sugar Intakes in New Zealand; Nutrients 2017, 9, 1292(MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2018-05-18) Kibblewhite R; Nettleton A; McLean R; Haszard J; Fleming E; Kruimer D; Te Morenga LThe authors have requested that the following changes be made to their paper. In Figure 1, the caption was changed to “Figure 1. 10–step method for estimating free sugars content (adapted from Louie et al. 2015 [14])”. In Appendix A, “This appendix details how we used and adapted the 10-step methodology for estimating added sugars described by Louie et al. 2015 [14] to calculate free sugars in the New Zealand food composition database, based on analytical data on total sugars and ingredients in food products. We used the unmodified Louie method to estimate added sugars in the New Zealand food composition database as reported in this paper” [2] was inserted in front of the Appendix A title. Further, “adapted from Louie et al., 2015 [14]” [2] was added after the title. “as per Step 1 of Louie et al., 2015 [14]” [2] was added in Step 1. “as per Step 2 of Louie et al., 2015 [14]” [2] was added in Step 2. “adapted from Step 3 of Louie et al., 2015 [14]” [2] was added in Step 3. “as per Step 4 of Louie et al., 2015 [14]” [2] was added in Step 4a; “adapted from Step 4 of Louie et al.2015 [14]” [2] was added in Step 4b. “as per Step 5 of Louie et al., 2015 [14]” [2] was added in Step 5. “as per Step 6 of Louie et al., 2015 [14]” [2] was added in Step 6. “adapted from Step 7 of Louie et al., 2015 [14]” [2] was added in Step 7. “as per from Step 9 of Louie et al., 2015 [14]” [2] was added as the last sentence of Step 9. “adapted from Step 10 of Louie et al., 2015 [14]” [2] was added as the last sentence of Step 10.
- ItemFood, nutrition and cancer: perspectives and experiences of New Zealand cancer survivors(New Zealand Medical Association, 2021-11-12) Peniamina R; Davies C; Moata'ane L; Signal L; Tavite H; Te Morenga L; McLean RAIM: This research sought to understand and describe cancer survivors' perspectives and post-diagnosis experiences of food and nutrition, with a particular focus on barriers to healthy eating, health equity, and Māori and Pacific perspectives. METHOD: Data were collected using semi-structured interviews with cancer survivors from three different ethnic groups (Māori, Pacific Peoples, and New Zealand European). Thematic analysis was undertaken to identify both similar and contrasting experiences and perspectives in relation to topics of interest. Data analysis also sought to identify any trends indicating differences between ethnic groups. RESULTS: Limited awareness of the role nutrition has in cancer recovery or prevention, combined with little or no access to nutrition advice/support, meant that healthy dietary change was not a focus for some cancer survivors in this study, whereas others invested considerable time and money accessing nutrition information and support outside of cancer care services. Financial limitations (eg, cost of healthy food and low income) and lack of practical support were also important barriers to post-diagnosis healthy eating. CONCLUSION: There is a need for more widely available cancer-specific nutrition advice and support in New Zealand. Interventions to address financial barriers and increase access to cancer-related nutrition advice and support have the potential to improve cancer outcomes and reduce inequities in cancer outcomes.
- ItemHow Does Driving Anxiety Relate to the Health and Quality of Life of Older Drivers?(2022-05) Taylor JE; McLean R; Samaranayaka A; Connolly MJOBJECTIVES: 11% of drivers aged 65+ report moderate to extreme driving anxiety, with associated reduction in driving. Knowledge about the relationships of driving anxiety with health and quality of life for older people is minimal. The present study examined these relationships. METHOD: 1170 community dwelling drivers aged 65+ in New Zealand completed a population survey. RESULTS: After adjusting for socio-demographic variables, higher driving anxiety was associated with lower quality of life and lower odds of 'very good' self-reported health, but no difference in odds of multi-comorbidity. DISCUSSION: Further research is needed to examine the influence of driving anxiety on health and quality of life outcomes with a broader range of older people who experience more challenges to their health and wellbeing, especially to mental health.
