Abstract

Purpose of Review

The aims of this study are to synthesize the findings of systematic reviews to (1) determine whether centre-based childcare interventions are effective in improving child physical activity and diet and (2) identify promising modifiable centre policies and practices to improve child physical activity and diet. Four electronic databases were searched. The methodological quality of included reviews was assessed using the AMSTAR tool. For intervention effectiveness, reviews were categorized as ‘generally effective’ if more than two-thirds of primary studies demonstrated positive effects.

Recent Findings

Database searches yielded 1164 unique citations of which 22 reviews were included. Three of 16 physical activity reviews, including one of the two higher quality reviews, and the largest and most recent review to date, reported that the interventions were generally effective in improving physical activity. One of nine nutrition reviews reported that interventions were generally effective at improving dietary intake. This review was of moderate quality and was the largest and most recent review of dietary outcomes in children in this setting. The most consistently reported policies and practices associated with improved child physical activity included those targeting the physical environment (playground markings, equipment, space), educator qualifications and training, and structured physical activities. Policies and practices associated with improved child diet included food availability and menu modification, positive peer modelling, and including parents.

Summary

There is increasing evidence from high-quality, recent systematic reviews that childcare-based interventions can be effective at improving child physical activity. Systematic review evidence regarding the effects of intervention on child diet is more equivocal.

Verbände und Cremes gegen Dekubitus: „Wir wissen nicht, was sie bringen!“

Die Datenlage zur Wirksamkeit von Verbänden oder topischen Mitteln zur Prävention von Druckgeschwüren sei schlecht, so die Verfasser einer aktuellen Cochrane-Studie. Letztlich bleibe es unsicher, ob solche Maßnahmen den Betroffenen nutzen oder schaden.

Schützt das tägliche Glas Milch vor Darmkrebs?

Die Milch machts – sie bietet Frauen nach Daten einer großen Ernährungsanalyse den besten Darmkrebsschutz aller Lebensmittel, was am hohen Kalziumgehalt liegen dürfte. Am anderen Ende des Spektrums steht der Alkoholkonsum: Das Glas Wein am Abend ist eher ungünstig.

Vorsicht mit Glukokortikoiden bei Glomerulopathie

Auch niedrig dosierte Glukokortikoide zur Behandlung einer primären Glomerulopathie lassen offenbar die Infektionsgefahr steigen. In einer US-Studie hing das Risiko vor allem mit der kombinierten Anwendung von Immunsuppressiva zusammen.

KI-gestütztes Mammografiescreening überzeugt im Praxistest

Mit dem Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz lässt sich die Detektionsrate im Mammografiescreening offenbar deutlich steigern. Mehr unnötige Zusatzuntersuchungen sind laut der Studie aus Deutschland nicht zu befürchten.
