First of regular reports on health behaviours
This report was commissioned by the Department of Health and independently conducted by the market research company GfK NOP.
It is a summary of the first stage of research, which was carried out in March 2012, that records how health behaviours vary across life stages.
The report is the first of a series of twice yearly surveys which track core health behaviours, their interactions and influences, and how these vary across key life stages.
