Project Details
The Single Source Questionnaire is an annual survey conducted by Roy Morgan Research Institute, which captures consumer behaviours including interests and attitudes, health conditions, lifestyle and purchasing behaviours, and service and technology utilisation. Each year, 50,000 randomly selected households are sampled in 11 Australian geographic areas.
Our overall aim is to explore trends and associations between lifestyle behaviours and health outcomes in people with chronic illness.
Using this dataset, we showed overlapping associations between several lifestyle behaviours across 5 neurological disorders (Nag et al 2021). Other aims are to assess associations between high-processed foods and comorbidities, and shared comorbidities across neurological disorders. These findings may provide insight to potential strategies for risk reduction and care management across disorders.
