Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br> 1. As a feasibility trial, the dual primary outcomes will be randomisation rates and adherence to the intervention at six months following randomisation<br> 2. Randomisation rates will be calculated as the proportion of eligible men, who agree to be randomised<br> 3. Adherence to the intervention arms will be calculated independently for the two levels i.e. nutrition and physical activity<br> 4. Adherence to the nutrition intervention will be assessed by analysis of mean serum, plasma or tissue levels, collected at cohort baseline, true trial baseline and 6 months post randomisation. Self-reported nutritional data will also be collected<br> 5. Adherence to the physical activity intervention will be assessed via daily step count, recorded by pedometer and reported by the participants during the 6 month intervention phase. Self-reported physical activity data will also be collected<br>
