Summary
Half of Australia's children suffer tooth decay, placing them at risk of toothache, infection and hospitalisation, as well as a host of other problems like sleeping, eating and concentrating. Current preventive strategies are failing, due to an incomplete understanding of the causes of decay. This study of twins, who have been followed since pregnancy, will help to explain the role of genetics as well as other factors such as maternal and early childhood illness in dental disease.

Summary
Addressing the diabetes epidemic in the Indigenous Australian population requires early intervention. Early life is critical for long term risk of chronic disease but little is known regarding effective interventions, particularly for follow-up of children after a pregnancy complicated by diabetes. The project examines growth, body composition, and risk of developmental issues in children of mothers with and without diabetes in pregnancy, exploring risk factors for later chronic disease.
