Trans-fat labelling and potential presence of industrially produced trans-fat in the New Zealand packaged food supply: 2015-2019 & 2022.

Background And Aim: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that countries reduce industrially produced TFA (iTFA) in the food supply. However, New Zealand (NZ) has no mandatory regulation to control amounts of iTFA in foods. The objectives of this study were to assess within the NZ packaged food supply in recent years (2015-19 and 2022): i) the availability of products displaying information on TFA content on nutrition information panels (NIPs), ii) the content of TFA declared, and iii) the presence/potential presence of iTFA (n = 85,892 products).

The prevalence of vegetarians, vegans and other dietary patterns that exclude some animal-source foods in a representative sample of New Zealand adults.

Objective: This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of vegetarians, vegans and other dietary patterns that exclude some animal-source foods in New Zealand adults. We also examined socio-demographic and lifestyle correlates of these dietary patterns.

Design: The New Zealand Health Survey is a representative rolling cross-sectional survey of New Zealanders; data from the 2018/19 and 2019/20 waves were used for this analysis.

Anthropometric measures and bladder cancer risk: a prospective study in the EPIC cohort.

Anthropometric measures have been related to risk of several cancers. For bladder cancer, however, evidence is sparse. Comparability of existing studies is hampered by use of different obesity-measures, inadequate control for smoking, and few female cases.
