- Abstract
There is a drive in the UK to harness findings from novel fundamental and efficacy nutritional research and, through inter‐disciplinary and multi‐agency collaborations, to improve eating behaviour for the benefit of population health. This report summarises the progress made during the Medical Research Council‐funded Hot Topic workshop on the planning for a potential UK‐wide nutrition primary prevention randomised controlled trial with incident disease as the study endpoint: the UK Nutrition and Healthy Life Expectancy (NuLifE) Trial. Through two workshops, along with online discussions and a systematic evidence synthesis, over 40 experts from a range of disciplines came together over 6 months. The workshop reached a consensus and delivered a three‐stage plan with the ultimate ambitious aim of providing effective eating behaviour change strategies to address the growing inequalities in the UK and contribute to both a reduced risk of prevalent diet‐related chronic disease and an increase in healthy life expectancy.
