Development of a nutrition monitoring and diagnostic tool for clinical and non-clinical use to reduce diet-related disease.

该项目旨在评估开发一种新的营养监测和诊断工具的可行性，用于临床和非临床用途，以减少与饮食有关的疾病。根据英国医学协会的说法，不良饮食对NHS预算的影响最大，每年花费约60亿英镑，超过饮酒、吸烟和缺乏体育锻炼。英国大多数儿童、年轻人和成年人都没有吃健康的饮食。五分之一的儿童开始上学时超重或肥胖，三分之一的儿童离开小学时超重或肥胖。近三分之二的英国成年人超重或肥胖。饮食评估的愿景和这个项目背后的主要动机是帮助健康从业者更好地跟踪、监测和改善饮食，并减少全球与饮食相关的疾病的发生率。

"Project to assess the feasibility of developing a new nutrition monitoring and diagnostic tool for clinical and non-clinical use to reduce diet-related disease.According to the BMA, poor diet has the highest impact on the NHS budget, costing around £6 billion per year, greater than alcohol consumption, smoking and physical inactivity.The majority of children, young people and adults in the UK are not eating a healthy diet. One in five children start school overweight or obese, and a third of children leave primary school overweight or obese.
