Detaljerad beskrivning

Poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle are common among young adults and increase risk for chronic diseases in subsequent years of life.

The study intervention was guided by Social Cognitive Theory. The study involved the development of a website, integrating educational material and mobile applications for monitoring diet and physical activity and a16-week feasibility trial to promote weight loss, improve food choices and increase physical activity levels.
