Age and Sex-Specific Associations in Health Risk Factors for Chronic Disease: Evidence from the Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow's Health (PATH) Cohort
The objective of this study was to discern health risk factors for chronic disease by age and sex in a Canadian cohort. Participants of the Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow's Health (PATH) cohort with health risk factor data (physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, body mass index [BMI]) were included (n = 16,165). Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate the relationship among health risk factors, age, and sex. Regression analysis revealed that the odds of engaging in high levels of physical activity and having a BMI ≥ 25 was lower for females than males across all age groups, where...

Supporting food literacy among children and adolescents: Undergraduate students apply public health nursing principles in clinical practice
This report focuses on the application of public health nursing principles by undergraduate nursing student teams in the design and delivery of food literacy interventions among a population of children and adolescents. Over a four-year time period, the cumulative intervention reach was 640 children/adolescents. Over 75 nursing students implemented the public health nursing process in support of food literacy, gaining skills across multiple practice domains. Lessons learned from academic-community partnerships to promote food literacy among children and adolescents have direct implications for undergraduate nursing educati...
