Nutrition publications

A practical resource to equip health providers with the most up-to-date evidence-based tools to monitor, assess and manage overweight and obese patients.

This publication explores the increase in obesity obesity over a 36-year period to 2013 and reviews the current status of adult and child obesity in New Zealand, looking at the population subgroups that are affected most.

This background paper provides evidence-based technical information and best practice recommendations on nutrition and physical activity for health practitioners working with children and young people.

This report to the Ministry of Health, prepared by Pam Oliver and Associates, details the methodology, key findings and recommendations of the independent evaluation of the Ministry’s Food and Nutrition Guidelines Series (up to 2008).
