Programme 3: Early development and risk of adult musculoskeletal disease

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The aim of this programme is to integrate observational epidemiology and mechanistic understanding to inform novel interventions in early life to reduce the risk of later diseases such as osteoporosis and sarcopenia. Whilst our results have already informed national guidelines (DH, NICE, Public Health England and the Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition), the programme will advance this work by generating discovery science to delineate underlying mechanisms and to establish the wider relevance of the findings in order to inform the successful implementation of resulting public health strategies.
