Community nutrition and physical activity (CoNPA) – Liselotte Schäfer Elinder's research group

Dietary habits and physical activity are among the most important determinants of health and well-being. An unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle greatly increase the risk for chronic diseases like cardiovascular diseases, obesity, type 2 diabetes, cancer and premature death. Improving dietary habits and physical activity can contribute to achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.
