Summary 

"In 2021, interviews were conducted by telephone, because of the impacts of COVID-19, so no physical measurements were taken. Participants were also asked for permission to link survey responses to their administrative NHS health records. Following the survey, respondents were asked to complete online food intake recalls to get a more complete picture of people's diet. Key topics included in the 2021 survey were:

  • General health, CVD and CPR training
  • Mental wellbeing
  • Respiratory conditions including COVID-19
  • Diet and food insecurity
  • Obesity
  • Physical activity
  • Smoking
  • Alcohol and drugs
  • Gambling
  • Accidents"
