Four goals with the centre
- Develop internationally leading clinical research in lifestyle intervention.
- Develop personalised methods for interventions that create a more healthy lifestyle. Personalised lifestyle advice (precision health) are created using data from biology, lifestyles and the environment.
- Provide knowledge that benefits the health and medical care system and contributes to improved treatment and prevention of lifestyle diseases.
- Promote collaboration within the field among the research community, the health and medical system, industry and other relevant groups.
Contributes to Agenda 2030's Global Goals
Centre for Lifestyle Intervention is an integrated part of the joint work at Sahlgrenska University Hospital and the University of Gothenburg to realize Agenda 2030, the UN's global action plan for sustainable development. Within this context, the Centre for Lifestyle Intervention works to support several of the global goals.

Better understanding of lifestyle changes
Our vision is to address perhaps the greatest challenge facing the health and medical care system – growing lifestyle-related ill-health. Each year, thousands of Swedes die of diseases that could have been avoided with a healthier lifestyle. Sedentary habits, unhealthy diet and tobacco use are some of the reasons why more and more Swedes risk developing lifestyle-related illnesses like cardiovascular diseases, cancer and type-2 diabetes.
