Résumé :
|
One in three children in the World Health Organization (WHO) European Region is overweight or obese. Marketing of foods high in saturated fats, trans fats, free sugars and/ or salt has a harmful effect on children, is associated with unhealthy dietary behaviours, and an increased risk of becoming overweight. As a result, policy solutions have been sought. One barrier to policy development identified by countries is the difficulty in identifying foods to which marketing restrictions should apply. We describe the process of developing the WHO Regional Office for Europe nutrient profile model tool, which is expected to be a valuable resource for countries across Europe when designing and implementing policies to restrict food marketing to children. We also discuss how the model classifies several important food product categories, and the expected implications for policy across the Region.
