Abstract: Background: the connection between overweight and health risks has been known since the beginning of the 19th century. In order to define overweight, the “body mass index” (BMI) in kg/m(2) was introduced. Methods: the present study evaluates the quantity and quality of the published literature available, and its changes over the years. Basic bibliographic methods and recent visualizing techniques were used in order to analyse and categorise research in the field of the BMI. The data were extracted from “ISI Web of Science” by Thomson Reuters beginning from 1900 to 2008 by defined search terms. Results: There are 63,845 articles on the subject available. It shows, that the number of annual publications is increasing continuously, starting in 1972. The bibliometric methods and the application of density equalising maps reveal global research productivity and citation activity with emphasis on the USA. Conclusion: the present study supplies a first bibliometric approach to visualise research activity in the field of BMI. Furthermore, it provides data that can be used for the identification of research clusters and to locate regions where more research needs to be done. Despite the controversial discussion, the analysed data suggest that the BMI is still an important, simple, and inexpensive measure for the assessment of the nutritional status that comes to a worldwide use.

Abstract: the worldwide increasing popularity of health psychology is illustrated by an analysis of data gathered at the International Congress of Psychology (ICP) in Berlin, 2008. The first analysis deals with the topics of interest that participants had stated when registering online for the congress. Out of 26 topics, health psychology obtained rank 9. The second analysis deals with the primary category in which abstracts were classified. Out of 6,252 abstracts, 10.65% were assigned to health psychology as the primary domain of research. These congress-based data may complement previous bibliometric data that attest to the increasing importance of health psychology.

Abstract: the aim of this study is to systematically review the published literature on the efficacy of Internet programs for smoking cessation, smoking prevention, and prevention of passive smoking. Electronic searches of PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials were conducted in July 2010. Randomized controlled trials reporting results about the efficacy of internet interventions for tobacco prevention compared to a control group or a standard intervention were included in the review. Initial searches in the literature databases identified 359 articles, of which 17 were eligible for inclusion in this review. In these articles, 16 studies were described: 14 studies addressed the efficacy of smoking cessation interventions, 2 studies reported results of combined smoking prevention and cessation programs. From the 14 smoking cessation interventions, 6 were effective to increase smoking abstinence rates in comparison to control groups. Due to the heterogeneity of the studies, particularly concerning the control groups, we did not pool study results overall. However, we pooled study results and calculated effect sizes for studies with similar control conditions. Compared to control groups without intervention, there was a trend but no statistically significant effect of Internet programs to increase abstinence rates (relative risk (RR) 1.42; 95%-confidence interval (CI) 0.85-2.37). Compared with minimal interventions, online smoking cessation interventions were effective (RR1.31; CI 1.09-1.57). Internet interventions were not effective compared with personal counseling interventions (RR 0.86; CI 0.72-1.04), with a tendency of personal interventions to be more effective. In comparison with a standard intervention, the standard intervention combined with an additional internet program was not more effective (RR 1.27; CI 0.70-2.31). Internet interventions which addressed smokers motivated to quit were more often effective than Internet interventions addressing unselected populations of smokers. The combined smoking prevention and cessation programs were effective on single, but not on all outcome criteria in comparison to assessment only groups. Effective Internet programs exist, particularly for smoking cessation in smokers motivated to quit. However, none of these programs was evaluated in German speaking countries. The empirical evidence for the efficacy of Internet based smoking prevention programs is marginal and, so far, no evidence exists for programs for the prevention of passive smoking.
