address action on a range of cancer prevention issues including obesity, in Evidence-based cancer prevention: strategies for NGOs (UICC 2004). Other relevant food policy contexts include the regulatory systems for food safety and food marketing. Food standards and regulation fall under the domain of the statutory authority, Food Standards Australia New Zealand. This has responsibility for setting standards for the production and sale of food in Australia, including food labelling issues such as nutrition and health claims. In Australia, food marketing operates under a system of co-regulation, with the Australian Communications and Media Authority having responsibility for the Children’s Television Standards, which include some regulations for limiting food advertising to children. The Advertising Standards Bureau administers the industry codes of practice developed by Free TV Australia and the Australian Association of National Advertisers, which add very little to the statutory regulations. Existing recommendations The Cancer Council Australia supports the National Health and Medical Research Council recommendations in relation to body weight and the maintenance of a balance between energy intake (healthy eating) and energy output (physical activity). For adults, the guideline states, ‘Prevent weight gain: be physically active and eat according to your energy needs’ (NHMRC 2003c). For children, the guideline does not refer specifically to body weight, but reads, ‘Children and adolescents need sufficient nutritious foods to grow and develop normally. Growth should be checked regularly for young children. Physical activity is important for all children and adolescents’ (NHMRC 2003b). The Cancer Council recommends that adults maintain a healthy weight within a BMI range of 18.5–25 kg/m2. To achieve and maintain a healthy weight, The Cancer Council recommends regular physical activity and eating according to energy needs. Making fruit, vegetables, cereals and other low fat foods the basis of the diet may assist with achieving and maintaining healthy body weight. Aims Our aims are to encourage the Australian population to: • • • • maintain a healthy body weight throughout life by means of a balance of food intake and physical activity consume nutritionally adequate and varied diets based primarily on foods of plant origin such as vegetables, fruit, pulses and wholegrain cereals, as well as lean meats, fish and low fat dairy products adopt a physically active lifestyle ensure children have a nutritionally adequate and varied diet and adopt an active lifestyle appropriate to different age groups. We also aim to advocate for more supportive environments to make healthy choices easier choices. National Cancer Prevention Policy 2007 – 09 O v e r w e i g h t & o b e s i t y
What needs to be achieved How The Cancer Council Australia and its members (the state and territory cancer councils) will do this Increased awareness of the link between obesity and cancer among the general public and key health professional groups Effective coordinated policy development and implementation Social marketing campaigns that promote healthy weight A reduction in rising rates of obesity in both children and adults An increased capacity to monitor epidemiological trends An increased capacity to monitor behavioural trends 100 Section One: Preventable risk factors Monitor and clarify best evidence on the relationship between obesity and cancer causation Ensure key messages are promoted to the public and relevant health professionals in publications, presentations, programs, media statements and where opportunities arise Promote and/or develop complementary primary health resources, specifically for general practice, to improve evidence-based interventions by health professionals Develop and maintain evidence-based policy positions about the relationship between obesity and cancer to complement the Australian policy context Ensure effective and coordinated policy development and implementation Advocate for nationwide social marketing campaigns that promote a healthy body weight across the life course, which are coordinated, sustainable and far reaching Encourage the Australian Government to commit to long-term investment in promoting a healthy weight Support and deliver effective community interventions at a local and state level to address healthy weight Contribute to national developments on reducing obesity in Australia through collaboration and partnerships with major agencies Recognise the significant public health gains to be made in reducing rates of obesity in childhood Support and conduct high-quality epidemiological research further clarifying the relationship between obesity and cancer Support and conduct high-quality behavioural research further clarifying the barriers and enabling factors for people to adopt healthy eating and physical activity behaviours Work towards a better understanding of the determinants of the obesogenic environment, to inform policy development Encourage the Australian Government to fund a comprehensive National Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey of both children and adults, which is conducted as a minimum on a regular five-year basis
