Thai Health Promotion Foundation ‘The 34 Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) cooseccososeecooosoecoooooeccosooseeooosececoo “Information system for food and nutrition policies” Diet-related diseases have become one of the most crucial health problems in Thailand during the past decade. Although Thailand has responded to the threat with a number of interventions, the alarming trends are still increasing. So, the process of identifying gaps that significantly hinder the progress and also finding proper solutions should take place. It is incontrovertible that evidence-based approach is the key success factor of effective policy. Therefore, one of the major components that should go through such diagnostic process mentioned earlier is information system. To ensure steady steps in designing and implementing policies, strong evidence must be relied upon. Hence, it is important to have responsive information in hands. Since diet and nutrition policies are involved with a wide range of issues ranging from farms to consumers, they need information from many databases from several different sources. The existing databases, along the food supply chain, have been created with certain purposes which partially respond to food and nutrition policies. It is quite unacceptable but true that some of food and nutrition policies have been implemented without relying on sufficient evidence. This indicates the need to have the process of reviewing and revising relevant information system. The 3" annual meeting of the Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program provides a forum for all stakeholders to together identify needs and review the responsiveness of current information system to food and nutrition policies. Additionally, gaps and agreed solutions are expected to be revealed which could lead to further collaborations in improving the responsiveness of relevant information system. The organizer would like to thank the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) and the International Health Policy Foundation (IHPF) for their supports. We wish this meeting a success in reinforcing food and nutrition policies Yours faithfully, Ms.Suladda Pongutta Program manager Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program, International Health Policy Program Foundation, Thailand TABLE OF CONTENTS Objectives 4 Speakers, Moderators, and Lead Discussants Master 5 Masters of Ceremonies 7 Program agenda 8 The 3" Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) coosoccospsoocecsonseccossccccqocceccsosccee “Information system for food and policies” The 3° Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) “Information system for food and nutrition policies” A global approach to provide all people with a safe, healthy, and diversified diet was raised as a political declaration of the second International Conference on Nutrition in Rome, Italy' last year. According to the declaration, the impact of a diet on health needs to be seriously taken into account and efficient movements to address all the gaps must be done. Diet-related illnesses have been one of the most serious problems in Thailand. To overcome the challenges, evidence-based policies must be adopted. However, such policies will not be occurred if there is no responsive information system to support the policy process. The next question is “Do we have that kind of information system and how well the information system can respond to the needs?” In Thailand, there have been some databases reflecting situations of both food supply and demand sides. However, there has been evidence revealing some crucial gaps of the information systems so they may not respond well to the needs and may obstruct the development and implementation of Thailand’s food and nutrition policies. The information systems have never been intensively reviewed in a comprehensive way by all key stakeholders before. Moreover, possible solutions to strengthen relevant information system have never been holistically discussed among the stakeholders. Therefore, big steps of improvement of relevant information system have never come yet. Knowing the gaps and seeking for solutions as well as further collaborations to improve the quality of information system relating to food and nutrition is important for developing and implementing effective food and nutrition policies. Therefore, FHP with support from the Thai Health Promotion Foundation will host its 3° annual meeting with an intention to be a platform to find rooms for improvement of the information systems, raise concern over the issue, and call for further actions To strengthen food and nutrition policies and promote evidence-based decision making by providing a platform for all stakeholders to review the responsiveness of relevant information systems along the entire food production chain, in order to identify gaps, challenges, and feasible and agreed Strategies to improve the quality of the information systems. 1 WHO.

These databases provide the basic infrastructure for food and nutrition research, nutrition monitoring, and dietary practice. They include: + Food Availability (Per Capita) Data System http:/Awww.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-availability-(per-capita)-data-systemv.aspx + National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference http://www.ars.usda.gow/Services/docs.htm?docid=8964 ¢ Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies http://www.ars.usda.gov/Services/docs.htm?docid=12089 + Food Patterns Equivalents Database http://www.ars.usda.gow/Services/docs.htm?docid=23871 The Food Availability (Per Capita) Data System includes three distinct but related data series on food availability, loss-adjusted availability, and nutrient availability on more than 200 commodities. This database system is closest to the farm. The national database on the nutrient content of more than 8,000 commonly consumed foods and beverages in the United States is the USDA Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS), providing critical content about the US food supply to support policy and research related to dietary intake. The primary use of FNDDS is to calculate nutrients for the amounts of foods and beverages reported in the large-scale Federal dietary survey, What We Eat in America, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Thus, the FNDDS is the database closest to the fork. The basis for the nutrient values in FNDDS are derived from the National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, the foundation for most food composition databases in the public and private sectors in the US. The Food Patterns Equivalents Database provides attributes for assessing dietary intakes in relation to recommendations in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans for all foods and beverages in FNDDS. A brief description of each database will be presented with primary discussion about the FNDDS including development, uses, and steps to maintain quality. 200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006000000000022ECONIIED The 32 Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) “Information system for food and nutrition policies” oosccocooseeo920o0202000H02900000II9ECOINO Presentation: Food environment: impacts on health and food environment monitoring for food policy Brief Biography Boyd Swinburn is the Professor of Population Nutrition and Global Health at the University of Auckland and Alfred Deakin Professor andCo-Director of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Obesity Prevention at Deakin University in Melbourne. He is Co-Chair of World Obesity Policy & Prevention section (formerly International Obesity Task Force). He trained as anendocrinologist and has conducted research in metabolic, clinical and public health aspects of obesity.His major research interests are centred on community and policy actions to prevent childhood and adolescent obesity,and reduce, what he has coined, the ‘obesogenic’ food environment.He is currently leading an initiative (www.informas.org) to monitor and benchmark food environments internationally. 2090 00000000000000000000000000000000000002000000900000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, ‘The 3° Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) coocosssseecoveceonooeceoveseecooqeeeeeeoooo0" “Information system for food and nutrition policies” Abstract There is global agreement on the food policies needed to create healthier food environments and reduce the burden of diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) but implementation of the policies has been patchy. Monitoring systems are needed which are much more ‘upstream’ (closer to decision-making) to contribute to strengthened accountability for action. INFORMAS (International Network for Food and Obesity / NCDs Research, Monitoring and Action Support) is a global network of public-interest organisations and researchers that aims to monitor, benchmark and support public and private sector actions to create healthy food environments and reduce obesity and NCDs and their related inequalities. INFORMAS was initiated by a collaboration of 13 universities and global NGOs in 2012. It Published the foundation framework papers for 10 modules (2 on public and private sector policies and actions, 7 on specific aspects of food environments, 1 on diet quality) in 2013 and protocols and pilot testing is now almost complete. Seven countries (including Thailand) are now using the modules to measure their country's progress on implementing food policies and monitoring the impacts these have on the food environments (food composition, labelling, promotion, price, provision in schools, retail, and trade and investment). One of the modules measures the degree of progress made by governments on implementing food policies. The Healthy Food Environments Policy Index (Food-EPI) is a tool of 42 indicators on specific food policies and infrastructure systems (eg leadership, governance, monitoring, funding). A group of public health experts use the evidence on the implementation of these policies in relation to international best practice to identify implementation gaps and then converts these into prioritized recommendations for government. Regular monitoring and feedback on progress on improving food environments has the potential to increase the accountability for action to reduce diet-related NCDs. eocneecoooseooeo00190o0o0090000000H0000000OCCODDOOOOOONIOOHEOOONIECOODIOOOOCOOIOOOOHIIOECHIIIIES ‘The 3°@ Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) “Information system for food and nutrition policies” .0000000000000000000000900000009000 Presentation: Information system for tackling NCDs and potential role of WHO in strengthen- ing relevant information system Brief Biography Dr.Thaksaphon Thamarangsi, known by his nickname ‘Mek’, is the Director of the Department of Noncommunicable Diseases and Environmental Health for WHO Regional Office for South-East Asia. He was the Director of the Health Promotion Policy Research Center (HPR) and Manager for the Thai NCD Network at the International Health Policy Program (IHPP). He was also the Director of IHPP. He graduated as a medical doctor in 1996 and got his Master of Public Health in 2001, both from Mahidol University. At the beginning of his professional life, Dr.Thamarangsi served his country as a rural doctor in Nakhon Phanom province for 7 years, before shifted his career to be a health policy and system researcher under IHPP in 2003. He got his PhD from Massey University, New Zealand and returned to Thailand in 2008. Then he set up the new academic team in IHPP, the Health Promotion Policy Unit, which ultimately aim to promote evidence-based policy to address major health risk factors including alcohol and nutrition. In 2009, Dr. Thaksaphon took over the Directorship of the Center for Alcohol Studies, where he works closely with other academics, civil society, regulators and policy makers on alcohol policy. CAS is also responsible for individual and Collective capacity building in the alcohol domain. Dr. Thamarangsi also interests in Global Health. He has served as Thai delegates in many supra-national policy forums, including the World Health Assembly, and being advisor and consultant to many organizations, particularly on alcohol and other health promotion arenas. coe00008800090000000000000000000000000000000000000002OEOOONOOCOOIOOCOHOOOOHIIOOCOOIOOOOOIOOOD ‘The 34 Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) cooeeososeeooeceonseocoovoseecooooeeeeeccose9 “Information system for food and nutrition policies” Abstract Many recent international movements on food and nutrition and related issues hold significant potential to extensively change how countries address food and nutrition problems in the near future. Many countries have set and adjusted their national and sub-national targets according to the Global Voluntary Targets on NCDs prevention and control, adopted in the High Level meeting of the UNGeneral Assemblyin 2013, including halting the obesity prevalence and 30% relative reduction of salt intake, all of which could contribute the achievement of the overarching target in 25% reduction of premature mortality from NCDs by 2025. Later in 2014, the 67th World Health Assembly adopted the targets on maternal, infant and young child nutrition, which address childhood stunting and wasting, anemia among women of reproductive age, low birth weight, childhood obesity, and exclusive breastfeeding. The 2nd International Congress on Nutrition (ICN2), jointly held by WHO and FAO in late 2014, is a major international mechanism in streamlining food and nutrition as socio-economic development agenda, particularly in securing nutrition issue as a UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). ICN2 adopted two major documents; the Rome Declaration and the Framework for Action- which containing 60 recommendations for action at national level. In 2015, the core Set indicators on maternal, infant and young child nutritionwere adopted in 68th World Health Assembly, including indicators on intermediate outcomes, process and policy environment and capacity. SDG Goal on nutrition (Goal#2), “End hunger, achieve food security and adequate nutrition for all, and promote sustainable agriculture”, contain eight Targetsincluding hunger and food access, malnutrition, agricultural productivity income, and food security and disasters. A good information system is a critical fundamental in contextualizing and downlinking these supra-national movements into actions and results at national and local levels. Scarcity, fragmentation, redundancy, and poor applicability are common manifests of food and nutrition information system in most Low and Middle Income countries. Good Nutrition information system is input, mean, tool and end-product of acontinuous investment in addressing food and nutrition issues.

The 34 Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) oooeeoovoscoossocosoeccoovececcooseeeeeeooee “Information system for food and nutrition policies” Abstract Food is one of four essential factors which are indispensible for human life; it is consumed to enhance the strength and growth of the body. However, although some people believe that healthier foods are always pricier, everyone can buy nutritious food with a limit budget to meet the nutrient requirements including carbohydrate, protein, fat, vitamins and minerals. Individual healthy choices play an important role in having healthy lifestyle. It is undeniable that socioeconomic status and household expenditure influences consumers’ decision and dietary habit. Moreover, these factors link to a fundamental concept of Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is developed by Information, Trade and Economic Indices Division, Ministry of Commerce. The CPI consists of 7 components of expenditure: food and non-alcoholic beverages, apparel and footwear, housing, medical care, vehicles, transport and communications, recreation, education and religion, tobacco and alcoholic beverages. Each category has a different impact on livelihoods; the most important group account for the greatest proportion of expenditure. At present, the food and non-alcoholic beverages account for 35.49% whereas the figures for non-food and beverages are found at 64.51%. Regarding the development of the CPI, there is a need to have data on food expenditure based on the Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose (COICOP) of the United Nations. The Ministry of Commerce receives the data on expenditure from the National Statistics Office surveyed in 77 provinces across the country to develop the CPI each year. Only the data on household expenditure will be analyzed by the Division of Information and the Ministry of Trade and Economic Indices in order to create weights of all data categories and translate them into the CPI. Food data will be surveyed every week in shops, department stores and stalls in fresh-food markets in order to have continuous data. Moreover, survey dates will be clearly informed and the price data will be collected at the same time across the country. The data will be transmitted through internet database established by the division directly and verified by public officials with different techniques to ensure accuracy and quality of the data before being modified to the CPI and publicized by various channels. 200900000000000900000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000, The 3"@ Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) 4 system for food and nutrition policies” — ooocccoosecoooceoo0OooooooeoN0OODOOOIHOOND Presentation: Information system for effective implementation of nutrition promotion Brief Biography Education MD., Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Thailand M.

The objective of this survey was to determine the amount of food commonly consumed by the Thai population. The data from this survey was used in exposure assessment of toxic hazards, e.g., chemical substances, biological agents and used as key information in establishing food and agricultural standards. This survey was a cross-sectional survey of a nationally representative 19,046 samples of all age group (infant to elderly). Dietary intake was assessed by using semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (Semi-FFQ) and 24-hour dietary recall. The semi-FFQ provided information on the frequency and amount of intake over the previous 1 month of 148 food items from 9 food groups for aged < 3 years and 386 food items from 17 food groups for aged 3 years and over. The 24- hour dietary recall provided information on the current diet and eating pattern of the samples. The average, high end consumption amount (97.5th percentile) and proportion of population consuming the food from Semi-FFQ were reported in printed and electronic format as well as the database of ingredients and raw material of selected 530 food items in the web of ACFS. The results from 24-hour recall did not have official report but data using in nutrition purposes such as formulating food based dietary guideline for children and elderly. Although this ‘survey was planned for exposure assessment but it does not cover all exposures. One survey cannot serve several purposes even among various exposure assessment purposes; pesticide residues, food additives, food fortificants, and supplements. Collaborative efforts should be established among all stakeholders as a national platform to ensure cost-effectiveness and cost-benefits of conducting, disseminating and managing information from National FCS. Moreover, clear and specific objective setting should be agreed upon and aligned at early stage of the project. Small scale survey or sub-set survey can be an option for the purpose that considered less priority such as specific vulnerable group not included in the main survey, difficult to obtain accurate consumption data such as sugar, sauce, condiments etc. Parallel study should be considered during planning phase such as standardization of recipe, food composition analysis of processed foods, food composition database. ooeecoooseeoooosooeooOOOOOCOODDOOCOODDOHHOODIOOOCCODDOOOOONDOOOOOOIDOPEOIOIOOCONIOEEOOONIOCEOD, ‘The 3"4 Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) oscocse0 “Information system for food and nutrton policies” Presentation: Information system for effective implementation of nutrition promotion Brief Biography Education D.Sc.

The 3° Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) sevesessecsconscscosscecocscscocecececcosce=c00 “Ifermation system for food and nutrition policies” Abstract Food and Nutrient Data for Health Promotion Apps Thai food is internationally recognised for its taste and best known for its tremendous variations in ingredients. Although, Thai food and nutrition data have continuously been collected and analysed by various organisations in Thailand, the vast majority of such data is still kept statically within each organisation. It is clear that, for the benefits of consumers and users such as researchers and App developers, having a single, centralised and up- to-date database of nutrition information for Thai food, similar to the U.S. FDA or other commercial food databases, would be ideal. However, our primary challenge is to build a database that incorporates such comprehensive and diverse nature of Thai food and at the ‘same time, reduce information overload and make it easier for users to understand. Currently, a number of technologies and research fields have been advanced. Data warehousing and Big data are among the most prominent tools in integrating existing databases. Other information technologies such as barcode scanning can also be employed to increase the efficiency and accuracy of database imports from multiple sources. In addition to database owners, food manufacturers and crowdsourcing can be used to create, aggregate and share the information through user community. Consequently, the centralised database of nutrition information would serve as an open platform for application plugins and a fundamental basis for promoting healthy diet, exercise and lifestyle. Last but not least, our mobile application “FoodiEat”, a collaboration between National Electronics and Computer Technology Center, Thai Health Promotion Foundation, The Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University, Department of Heath, Food and Drug Administration, Ministry of Health, is developed as a prototype to gain insights on these significant matters. oneccoosneoeoo01100000 000000000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000006000000000000900000000000000, The 3"° Annual Meeting Food and Nutrition Policy for Health Promotion Program (FHP) " system for food and nutrition polices” c..00000 02000 0000000000000000HOOOHOOOIIIIOOD Brief Biography Viroj Tangcharoensathien, MD, PhD, is a Senior Expert in Health Economics at Ministry of Public Health, Thailand and advisor to International Health Policy Program of the MOPH.
