Les aliments dits ultratransformés font partie de l’offre alimentaire mais suscitent des préoccupations pour la santé. Or, l’ultratransformation est un concept qui reste encore à étayer scientifiquement. Ce constat étant posé, l’Anses s’est penchée sur les études disponibles sur le sujet. Son expertise identifie des signaux suggérant un lien entre la consommation de tels aliments et un risque plus élevé de développer des maladies chroniques. L’enjeu, à présent, est d’identifier les mécanismes qui sous-tendent ces risques. Parmi les pistes à explorer, l’Agence recommande de s’intéresser aux effets des nouvelles substances qui peuvent se former lors de la transformation des aliments. Elle invite par ailleurs à ne pas négliger les autres leviers d’action pour améliorer l’alimentation de la population.

Purpose. This study presents an overview of research literature on health promotion in schools, utilizing metadata extracted from 4,328 publications indexed in the Scopus database over the past 35 years.Design/methodology/approach. A bibliometric approach was used to analyze the development and current state of using publication and citation data. A structured keyword search was conducted in the Scopus database to retrieve relevant publications in the field. Frequency counts, rank-ordered tables and time series charts were used to illustrate the dynamic growth of publication and citation data, the core journals, the leading countries and the most frequently used keywords in research on health promotion in school contexts. A series of social network analyses was conducted to explore and visualize the social, intellectual and conceptual structure of the field.Findings. Findings demonstrate that health promotion in the school context is a growing research field that has gained significant momentum in recent years. The research in this field is widely distributed internationally, but the research output is dominated by the US and other English-speaking countries. The study reveals a trend toward increased collaboration among research groups. The level of international collaboration varies. The research field is highly interdisciplinary, and the main research themes addressed in the literature include mental health, well-being and quality of life; health behaviors; oral health education; sexual and reproductive education and general health promotion and health education in schools.Originality/value. This is the first study to map the development of a research field with growing recognition. It provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging field of health promotion in the school context and its progress over time, contributing to the organization of the research domain. The study demonstrates the need for a new framework for health promotion research that supports the sustainability of health promotion research in schools.

La moitié des fruits cultivés en France comporte au moins un pesticide potentiellement dangereux. Derrière les enjeux de transparence sur ces produits et leur utilisation, on retrouve des obstacles de nature légale, administrative, technique et sociale. Des voies d’amélioration sont toutefois possibles, du champ jusqu’à l’assiette, pour le riverain d’exploitation agricole comme pour le consommateur.
