A researcher at the Department of Biosciences and Nutrition, Karolinska Institutet, has received SEK 4.97 million in research grants from FORTE for a project on “A mHealth intervention to promote healthy lifestyle behaviours from the start of life: The Health4Life trial”.

We wish to congratulate Assistant Professor Christine Delisle Nyström at the Department of Biosciences and Nutrition who has received SEK 4.97 million in research grant from FORTE.

The project “A mHealth intervention to promote healthy lifestyle behaviours from the start of life: The Health4Life trial” aim to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of a mobile health intervention (Health4Life) to support parents to create healthy lifestyle behaviours from the start of their infant’s life, in order to prevent overweight and obesity. This since promotion of healthy lifestyle behaviours needs to start early in life as once obesity is established it is difficult to treat.
