Teachers: Findings

 

We have published reports on ethnic differences in height, weight and blood pressure and various social descriptors of the population subgroups. Other research outputs include adolescent obesity and high blood pressure, variation in lung function in relation to social disadvantage and differences in psychological well-being and quality of family life.
 

Information from the DASH study will be used to design and test interventions to reduce sedentary behaviour among primary and secondary school students (Click here to find out about the first of our intervention studies which is in it's  early stages).
