Further Information

Public Health Nutrition

Public Health Nutrition widmet sich der F?rderung von Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden von Populationen durch nachhaltige Verbesserungen des Lebensmittel- und Ern?hrungssystems. Zum April 2017 wurde die Thematik erstmals universit?r in Paderborn an einer Professur verankert (Leitung: Prof. Dr. Anette Buyken)

Der übergeordnete Schwerpunkt des Bereichs Public Health Nutrition ist die Erforschung des Potenzials von Ern?hrung in der Gesundheitsf?rderung und der Prim?rpr?vention ern?hrungsmitbedingter Erkrankungen. Hierür bedarf es eines evidenzbasierten Forschungsansatzes, der sowohl die Analyse potentieller Risikofaktoren bzw. Determinanten als auch die Entwicklung und Evaluation geeigneter Pr?ventionsma?nahmen umfasst. Daher führt der Bereich Public Health Nutrition zum einen epidemiologische Forschung unter Nutzung bereits vorhandener Daten (Analyse von Daten aus Beobachtungsstudien, systematische Reviews und Meta-Analysen) durch. Zum Anderen wird in Interventionsstudien die kurz- und l?ngerfristige Relevanz der postprandialen Stoffwechselantwort auf Lebensmittel und Mahlzeiten für relevante Gesundheitsparameter (z.B. Blutzuckerantwort, glyk?mische Kontrolle, Kognition) untersucht. Daran sollen sich perspektivisch Forschungsprojekte im Setting Schule anschlie?en. Settingans?tze berücksichtigen die ?Lebenswelt“ von Menschen, d.h. die jeweiligen Rahmenbedingungen, in denen Menschen leben, lernen und essen. Gesundheitsf?rderung im Setting versteht sich somit als ganzheitlicher Ansatz und begreift Gesundheitsprobleme als das Ergebnis einer Wechselwirkung zwischen pers?nlicher Lebensweise und der Umwelt.

In der Lehre koordiniert der Bereich Public Health Nutrition den 2016/2017 neu eingerichteten Studiengang ?Lehramt an Gymnasien und Gesamtschulen mit dem Unterrichtsfach Ern?hrungslehre“. Ein besonderes Anliegen der Professur ist es, werdende Lehrkr?fte für die M?glichkeiten der Verh?ltnispr?vention im eigenen Setting zu sensibilisieren und diese zu ermutigen, zukünftig gemeinsam mit Schülerinnen und Schülern entsprechende Initiativen zu entwickeln.
