Les faibles effets d’une « fat tax » sur les achats alimentaires des ménages français : une approche par les nutriments

L’Organisation Mondiale de la Santé considère le surpoids et l’obésité comme un des problèmes majeurs de santé publique dans le monde. En France, selon l’Enquête Individuelle et Nationale sur les Consommations Alimentaires (INCA2 2006-2007), 38,9 % des hommes et 24,2 % des femmes adultes sont en surpoids et 11,6 % des adultes hommes et femmes sont obèses. En 2002, le coût médical de l’obésité est estimé entre 1,5 et 4,6 % des dépenses de santé selon l’Institut de recherche et documentation en économie de la santé (IRDES). Le développement de l’obésité et ses répercussions économiques ont conduit les pouvoirs publics à s’interroger sur les mesures susceptibles de modifier les comportements de consommation alimentaire. En estimant un système de demande, on évalue l’influence et la pertinence d’une politique de taxation des aliments à fortes teneurs en calories, en graisses et en sucres, dénommée « fat tax ». Nous montrons que les effets de cette « fat tax » sur les achats d’aliments et sur les achats de calories et de nutriments qui en résultent sont faibles. Son influence sur le poids des individus à court terme est également faible, mais tend à augmenter dans le long terme. Enfin, si la « fat tax » génère d'importantes recettes fiscales, elle affecte plus les ménages modestes.

Analysis of 339 pregnancies in 181 women with 13 different forms of inherited thrombocytopenia

65Pregnancy in women with inherited thrombocytopenias is a major matter of concern as both the mothers and the newborns are potentially at risk of bleeding. However, medical management of this condition cannot be based on evidence because of the lack of consistent information in the literature. To advance knowledge on this matter, we performed a multicentric, retrospective study evaluating 339 pregnancies in 181 women with 13 different forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. Neither the degree of thrombocytopenia nor the severity of bleeding tendency worsened during pregnancy and the course of pregnancy did not differ from that of healthy subjects in terms of miscarriages, fetal bleeding and pre-term births. The degree of thrombocytopenia in the babies was similar to that in the mother. Only 7 of 156 affected newborns had delivery-related bleeding, but 2 of them died of cerebral hemorrhage. The frequency of delivery-related maternal bleeding ranged from 6.8% to 14.2% depending on the definition of abnormal blood loss, suggesting that the risk of abnormal blood loss was increased with respect to the general population. However, no mother died or had to undergo hysterectomy to arrest bleeding. The search for parameters predicting delivery-related bleeding in the mother suggested that hemorrhages requiring blood transfusion were more frequent in women with history of severe bleedings before pregnancy and with platelet count at delivery below 50 × 10(9)/L.openopenPatrizia Noris; Nicole Schlegel; Catherine Klersy; Paula G.

Autoconsommation et jardin. Arbitrage entre production domestique et achats de légumes

[eng] Household production and garden trade-off between home production and vegetables purchases . This paper studies the trade-off between vegetables purchases and home production with the 1991 French National Food Survey. We model the availability of a garden, and the total and home-produced vegetables consumptions. Estimation is obtained by using two-step procedures in which the decision to consume is distinct from the decision on the amount consumed. Results show the independence between total vegetables consumption and home-produced vegetables consumption. We obtain as well interesting socio-demo- graphic effects which can differ on the frequency and the volume of home-produced food consumption. [fre] Cet article étudie l'arbitrage entre les achats et l'autocon- sommation de légumes à partir de l'Enquête sur la Consommation Alimentaire 1991 de l'INSEE. Le modèle décrit la disponibilité d'un jardin, la consommation et l'autoconsom- mation de légumes. On utilise des procédures en deux étapes qui permettent de distinguer la décision de consommation de celle portant sur le montant consommé. Les résultats montrent l'indépendance entre la consommation de légumes et l'autoconsommation. On obtient en outre d'intéressants effets socio-démographiques qui peuvent être différents selon que l'on étudie la fréquence ou le montant autoconsommé.

Analysis of 65 pregnancies in 34 women with five different forms of inherited platelet function disorders

This study evaluated 65 pregnancies in 34 women with five different inherited platelet function disorders. Gestation was similar to that of the general population. Severe bleeds requiring blood transfusions were observed in 50% of deliveries in Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT), but not in the patients with delta storage pool disease, Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome, P2Y12 defect or defect of thromboxane A2 receptor. Of note, severe haemorrhage also occurred in women with GT who had received prophylactic platelet transfusions, suggesting that better preventive treatments are required. Diagnosis and degree of spontaneous bleeding tendency before pregnancy were reliable parameters to predict the delivery-related bleeding risk
