The new issue of Talnabrunnur provides an overview of sleep, physical activity, sedentary behaviour, nutrition and other health-related factors among adults in Iceland. All of these factors are important for promoting health and well-being.

The results suggest that many people have adopted healthy habits, including physical activity and sleep. However, sedentary behaviour is common, and daily physical activity habits could be improved.

The data also show that the population's diet is varied in many respects, but fruit and vegetable intake could still be improved. Furthermore, vitamin D supplement intake has increased, but it could still be higher. The consumption of energy drinks is common and has increased considerably among younger groups.
