Effectiveness of Interventions to Improve Physical Activity Levels Among Ethnic Minorities in the United Kingdom
Background Ethnic minorities in the United Kingdom (UK) show low levels of engagement in physical activity (PA), which may be central to observed health disparities. There is a lack of evidence on the effectiveness of available interventions, including those involving digital tools such as mobile applications and wearable trackers, aimed at improving PA levels in these groups. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of intervent…

This is despite malnutrition representing a common cause of functional decline and mortality among older people. This article draws from interviews in Cambridge with older adults, …
Acceptability, Usability and Weight Loss Outcomes in a Randomized Cross-Over Study of Commercially Available Portion Size Tools in an Overweight South Asian Community
South Asian women living in the UK are particularly at high risk of obesity-related complications, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Exposure to large portion sizes is a risk factor for obesity. Specifically designed tableware helps individuals to manage weight by controlling food portion sizes.

A qualitative study of men's perceptions and attitudes towards weight management and weight management services
Prospective food diaries demonstrate breastfeeding characteristics in a UK birth cohort
Breastfeeding duration and exclusive breastfeeding rates are universally below those recommended by World Health Organization. Due to limitations and challenges associated with researching breastfeeding characteristics, the times when exclusivity is likely to be lost and when women are most likely to discontinue breastfeeding have not yet been identified. Prospective food diaries allow reliable description of the dynamics of breastfeeding to be m…
Influence of energy density and unit size on portion size estimation
