Ongoing work 

Work is still ongoing for the study on obesity prevention among adults. Some key issues in relation to obesity prevention among adults are discussed here.

For fruit and vegetable consumption, a good review was already done, therefore we will not repeat this work and use the results of this study. (Pomerleau J, Lock K, Knai C, McKee M. Interventions designed to increase adult fruit and vegetable intake can be effective: a systematic review of the literature. J Nutr. 2005 Oct;135(10):2486-95.)

A start will be made with the following reviews:

• Increasing physical exercise among adults
• Lowering excessive alcohol consumption
