Research
Research Title: Clustering of Health Behaviours in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults
Noura's research, titled 'Clustering of Health Behaviours in Children, Adolescents and Young Adults,' explores how health behaviours, including physical activity, sedentary behaviours, diet, and sleep, cluster together among young people in the UK. Her research investigates both the determinants and health outcomes of these clusters. The implications of Noura's research are substantial, offering valuable insights for health promotion, disease prevention, customised interventions, and overall enhancements in well-being.
