Notities (alleen beschikbaar in het Engels):* It should be made clear though that the author of the above survey noted that although the survey population was well balanced and fairly representative, as they were based in a primary care setting, selection bias towards higher morbidity risk could exist. In contrast though volunteers to health screening programs may lead to a selection bias the other way. The author could not determine which effect dominated.

Management of overweight and obesity in primary care—A systematic overview of international evidence‐based guidelines

The aim of this project was to provide a clear and systematic overview, based on which structured care processes could be defined for the management of overweight and obesity in primary care. It was initiated by the Main Association of Austrian Social Security Institutions as the first of three overviews on overweight/obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and unspecific back pain. The results are to be incorporated in clinical pathways for primary care teams.

Nutri-Score labelling

The Nutri-Score labelling system is a 5-point colour coded nutritional rating system. It was originally implemented in France and has since been adopted by multiple countries in the WHO European region. Austria have adopted this system on a voluntary basis, used by companies such as Nestlé, Auchan & Danone. However, the system has not been officially recommended by the Austrian government.

School Fruit, Vegetables and Milk Scheme

"Applicable since 1 August 2017, the EU school fruit, vegetables and milk scheme combines two previous schemes (the school fruit and vegetables scheme and the school milk scheme) under a single legal framework for more efficiency and an enhanced focus on health and educational. The scheme supports the distribution of products, educational measures and information measures. The scheme supports the distribution of fruit, vegetables, milk and certain milk products to schoolchildren, from nursery to secondary school. EU countries approve a list of products (in collaboration with their health and nutrition authorities) which will help achieve the schemes objective of helping children to follow a healthy diet. Priority is for fresh fruit and vegetables and for plain milk. In order to support a varied diet and/or specific nutritional needs, EU countries may also make processed fruit and vegetables such as juices and soups and certain milk products such as yoghurt and cheese, available. Additionally, under stricter conditions, milk-based drinks may be included." - EU Commission

Daily sports and exercise session (TBuS)

With the TBuS, more movement was integrated into different lessons and an additional hour was created with a movement coach or recreational educator / sport, whereby there was a link to sports associations and clubs. The movement coaches, qualified by the universities of teacher education in cooperation with the BSPAs, brought more exercise and sport into everyday school life in addition to the legally required classes. In total, five hours of exercise and sport should be achieved per week.

National Action Plan on Physical Activity

The first National Action Plan Physical Activity (Nationaler Aktionsplan Bewegung) has been developed by the Federal Ministry Civil Services and Sports (Bundesministerium für öffentlichen Dienst und Sport) and the Federal Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Health and Consumer Protection (Bundesministerium für Arbeit, Soziales, Gesundheit und Konsumentenschutz) and published in April 2013. In view of the data of the present situation of the physical activity of the people in Austria different target groups can be identified and partially, various needs exist in the different social environments. As in all social areas and age groups, many people can strongly profit from more physical activity, the national action plan intends to provide measures for everybody. It still has to be taken into account that socioeconomic underprivileged groups show a worse health behaviour and thus profit most from changes. This action plan should act as a guiding principle, upon which measures shall be developed and implemented, that aim to improve physical activity behaviour and cause a measurable change in society. The national action plan is in accordance with the EU Physical Activity Guidelines and features the following aims: cross-sectoral approach (Health in all Policies) catalogue of targets overarching objectives sports health education transport, environment, regional planning and building planning working environment senior citizens

National Action Plan on Nutrition

The Austrian Nutrition Action Plan was launched in 2011 and aims at the implementation of effective measures in a transparent and intergovernmental way to prevent over-, under- and malnutrition, to reverse the rising overweight and obesity rates by 2020 and to prevent diet-related NCDs. Existing activities were combined in one strong strategy and a nationwide commitment. The Action Plan is designed to establish and maintain a structured continuous dialogue and cross-sectoral cooperation. It is embedded in the Austrian Health Targets, part of the Austrian Prevention Strategy and is being updated on a regular basis advised by the National Nutrition Commission, which was established in 2011 as a multidisciplinary nutrition advisory board for the Minister of Health. All relevant players are involved in the development of the Austrian nutrition policy. The update of the Austrian Nutrition Action Plan 2013 has the focus on the target groups of infants, children and young people, pregnant and nursing women as well as on the further development of tools for communicating information and empowerment. The aim of nutritional prevention is the prolongation of a healthy life and thus, contributes to the improvement in the quality of life.

In 2009, the "Minister for Children Healthy" initiative was launched by the Minister of Sport. The aim was to integrate more exercise for children in kindergartens and elementary schools. On the one hand, kindergartens and elementary schools benefited from and got to know the clubs' high-quality, multi-sport activities. On the other hand, the sports associations and clubs had the opportunity to establish cooperations with the institutions that went beyond the scope of the initiative.

WHO European Action Network on reducing marketing pressure on children

The establishment of the WHO European Action Network on Reducing Marketing Pressure on Children in 2008 reflected the joint interest of several countries in the Region in taking action on this issue. Subsequently, the World Health Assembly adopted the WHO “Set of recommendations on the marketing of food and non-alcoholic beverages to children” in 2010. WHO also integrated marketing restrictions as a priority in policies and strategies, notably the European Food and Nutrition Action Plan 2015–2020. The Network is an important mechanism to enhance action on food marketing to children. There are currently 30 countries in the Region participating in the Network. In addition, several organizations and institutions take part in the Network as observers. Network meetings have been held in Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom. 13th meeting in Vienna, Austria
