Does turning 40 change diet and lifestyle habits?
British researchers set out to investigate how age can change diet and physical activity. The study published in this month’s European Journal of Clinical Nutrition investigates whether adults studied in 1991 and 1999 (at ages 33 and 42 years) improved their diet and their physical activity levels in the direction of recommendations issued during the same period. The data collected was part of the ongoing 1958 British Birth Cohort Study tracking all births across England, Scotland and Wales between 3rd and 9th March 1958 with over 11 000 participants.
