Abstract
It is now well established that obesity is a significant health problem worldwide, increasing the risk of a range of chronic diseases such as diabetes, CVD and certain cancers, which contribute to an increasing strain on National Health Service (NHS) resources. Obesity in young adults is an important predictor of adult obesity(1) however, there are limited strategies for improving nutrition in adolescents(2). Positive changes in the health habits formed at this age have the potential to be sustained into adulthood, thus reducing the risk of nutritionally related adult disease.
