Leicester is a multi-ethnic, diverse, multi-faith community. It is really important that we know how this diversity relates to life style choice, well-being, self-management of health conditions and how this has changed during COVID-19.

The Leicester Diabetes Centre has a multi-ethnic lifestyle questionnaire study looking at how lifestyle behaviours could impact health now and in the future, and how this may have been affected by COVID-19.

We know that people with particular lifestyle behaviours, including levels of physical activity and diet, can be linked with a higher chance of developing long term conditions including high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease.

We would like to ask people across Leicestershire about some of their lifestyle behaviours to find out the extent to which they may raise the chances of disease, both now and in the future. We would also like to know the effects that living/working in different geographical areas may affect lifestyle habits and risk of disease. We would also like to know how COVID-19 may have changed these behaviours.

You can download the questionnaire below, print out and complete. Instructions are included on how to return it to us:
