f key foods or food patterns have been identi-ed as increasing the risk of positive or negativenergy balance. Potentially assessment of theseood patterns is less burdensome and increasinglyethods are being developed and validated. With

he recognition of the complexity of factors thatnfluence food intake (attitudes: e.g. likes and dis-ikes, trying new foods, belief in importance ofruit and vegetables; food related behaviours: e.g.ating as a family, eating meals in front of TV, fre-uent snacking; and environments: eg availabilityf foods, rules) interventions at both the individualnd community—wide level, targeting these fac-ors, are increasingly being trialled. Consequentlyhere is a need to develop and validate new toolshich assess these broader factors in order to pro-ide comprehensive evaluation of the impact ofnterventions on behaviours, attitudes and environ-ents as well as food patterns and weight status.

xamples of tool development and validation forssessing food patterns, attitudes, food behaviours,nd environments (home and school) will be pre-ented.

rinciples of partnership, participation, and pro-ection in indigenous health in New Zealand

argaret Hinepo-Williams

Centre for Physical Activity and Nutritionesearch, Auckland University of Technology

The Treaty of Waitangi is New Zealand’s found-ng document and for health applies the principlesf participation at all levels, partnership in serviceelivery and protection and improvement of Maoriealth status. As a population group, Maori haven average the poorest health status of any eth-ic group in New Zealand. Key issues for Maori arehe need to improving nutrition, increase physicalctivity and reduce obesity to treat and preventype 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease.

Recent evidence collected from the Waikato Dis-rict Health Board area shows that the prevalencef obesity and undiagnosed T2DM in Maori adults isigh, that obesity and overweight in Maori childrens higher than European and that health servicesuch as the Green Prescription by Maori with T2DMre not readily accessed.

Environmental and cultural factors such as thevailability and cost of food, traditional foods and

ocioeconomic deprivation moderate the develop-ent of obesity across the lifecourse. Furthermore

t 5 and 10 years of age Maori children have a higherody mass index and body fat and over two years

Qualitative research is essential to inform effec-ive engagement and intervention. The practicali-ies and ways of working with Maori, communicatingith peers and empowering sustainable buy-in andwnership will be described and has applicationo all ethnic groups. Translation of evidence intoractice requires that communication is two way,rotecting those who are vulnerable and negotiat-ng shared outcomes. Na to rourou, na taku rouroua ora ai te iwi. With your food basket and my foodasket the people will thrive.

mpact of paternal obesity on metabolic health offfspring

argaret Morris

Department of Pharmacology, University of Newouth Wales

The global prevalence of obesity is contributingo the early emergence of type 2 diabetes. Havingither parent obese is an independent risk factoror childhood obesity. While detrimental impactsf diet-induced maternal obesity on adiposity andetabolism in offspring are well established, the

xtent of any contribution of obese fathers isnclear particularly the role of non-genetic fac-ors in the causal pathway. One possible mechanismhereby paternal obesity may influence offspring

s via changes in sperm and seminal fluid charac-eristics. An inverse relationship between obesitynd sperm output was recently reported, althoughausality could not be determined. In order tonvestigate the link between paternal obesity andffspring metabolic health, animal studies areeeded to examine potential intergenerational con-equences of consumption of a high fat diet.
