Matches here are based on overlap of the individual factors included in each sub-categorya or cluster but it should be noted that overlap may only be partial. All scores were ranked based on criteria including priority for research, modifiability and population-level effect (and relationship strengtha)
There are a total of 51 sub-categories in the general population diet frameworka [31], 6 clusters in both the physical activity frameworkb [32] and sedentary behaviour frameworkc [33]
[PA = physical activity and SB = sedentary behaviour]
