The focus of this course is on lifestyle factors that affect physical and mental health. The course will examine the positive effects of a healthy lifestyle on diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and depression. The content is particularly suited to students who are interested in assessing their own lifestyle and making healthy changes. In laboratory sessions each student will assess his or her own health and lifestyle and then as a course assignment develop a personalised lifestyle improvement plan. A visit to the Museum of Human Disease is included as a tutorial activity.
