Diet |
Measured with the Dietary Instrument for Nutrition Education (fatty foods, fruit and vegetable, and sugary food consumption). High scores are indicative of high consumption. Higher scores for fruit and vegetable mean a better outcome (0-3 scale; 1 item) and higher scores for fatty foods (0-24; 8 items on 0-3 scale) and sugary food (0-9; 3 items on 0-3 scale) mean a worse outcome. The minimum values are 0 and the maximum values are specified above in brackets. |

Alcohol |
Measured with the Audit C; scale 0-12, high scores are indicative of high consumption. |

Secondary |
Physical activity (self-reported) and sitting time |
Measured with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire short version, the minimum value is 0 (no activity), higher scores mean a better outcome. All activity will be converted to minutes before calculating MET minutes (total score). In each category a maximum of 21 hours of activity are permitted a week (3 hours X 7 days). To calculate MET minutes a week the MET value given (walking = 3.3, moderate activity = 4, vigorous activity = 8) will be multiplied by the minutes the activity was carried out and again by the number of days that that activity was undertaken. To get total MET minutes of physical activity a week the MET minutes achieved in each category (walking, moderate activity and vigorous activity) will be added. |
baseline (Time 0), 3 months (Time 1), 6 months (Time 2) and 12 months (Time 3) |

Secondary |
Sleep duration and quality |
Measured with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. In scoring the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, seven component scores are derived, each scored 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (severe difficulty). The component scores are summed to produce a global score (range 0 to 21). Higher scores indicate worse sleep quality. |

Health related quality of life |
Measured with the EQ-5D-5 L (this is the unabbreviated scale title), the scale has five domains each scored on 1-5 scale; min 5 maximum 25 for all domains combined) higher scores mean a worse outcome and visual analogue scale is the second part of the questionnaire, asking to mark health status on the day of the interview on a 20 cm vertical scale with end points of 0 and 100. There are notes at the both ends of the scale that the bottom rate (0) corresponds to " the worst health you can imagine", and the highest rate (100) corresponds to "the best health you can imagine". |
