'The European Commission has identified poor diets and low physical activity levels as health challenges wich should be adressed by actions across policy areas and engaging a range of public and private actors. Research points to a necessary link between nutrition and physical activity, but regional health economies need better collaboration between triple-helix actors to tap this potential. This project aims at developing a research agenda for reducing diet- and physical inactivity-related (chronic) diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and various types of cancer, by developing innovative products and services within the field of nutrition and physical activity. Instrumental for this is collaboration on a EU wide platform for new research and innovation in the combined field of healthy food and physical activity. The novelty lies in a multidisciplinary approach closing the gap between regional economic hotspots related to food and physical activity. Following this logic they chose the acronym 'AFRESH - activity and food for regional economies supporting health'. Novel is also the fact that highly competitive RDCs undertake mentoring activities to help those to “get on board” where the collaboration within the triple-helix is insufficient. Finally, the project is novel in the actions which will be implemented: ‘AFRESH Ideas’ research and product concepts and a Change Management Toolkit for mentoring regions.'
Diet and physical inactivity-related diseases pose a large economic burden to European health care. The AFRESH study proposes region-specific activities that will result in healthier products and services across Europe.
Non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs), as a result of poor diet and low physical activity, have reached epidemic proportions. Healthy eating and exercise seem to exert beneficial effects on the pathogenesis of metabolic-related disorders, heart and vascular diseases, and osteoporosis.
With this in mind, the EU-funded 'Countering diet-related diseases through competitive regional food- and physical activity clusters' (http://afresh.region-stuttgart.de/ (AFRESH)) project is working on replacing pharmaceutical approaches to prevent NCDs with a healthier lifestyle. Diet is strongly linked with the supply of products and services by the economic system and physical exercise is often region-related. The AFRESH consortium aims to design joint action plans and innovative strategies for improving such services.
To this end, partners have analysed products and services in the field of nutrition and physical activity and have pinpointed regional needs. Various analyses have been performed, providing an overview of the offer and the demand in each of the participating areas as well as regional economic potential.
Action plans based on innovative research and product ideas have been designed separately for children, the disadvantaged, for healthy ageing and for work-site diet. Dissemination activities including the production of multilingual leaflets, press releases and conference stands will ensure appropriate communication of the importance of a healthy diet and physical exercise in the prevention of NCDs.
The AFRESH joint health strategy will have funding from public resources, enterprises and academic institutions to ensure sustainability of the action plans and finance future research. Collectively, this is envisaged to reduce the incidence of diet- and inactivity-related diseases on a regional and European level.
