"The results of the study suggest that the start of the recession was associated with worse dietary habits and increased BMI and obesity.
It was also associated with a shift away from risky behaviours, as a decrease in smoking and alcohol consumption was seen.
There was also an increase in the use of medicines and a higher likelihood of suffering diabetes and mental health problems, all of which were generally experienced more acutely by those with less education and by women."
