Funded Activity Summary

We will study birth and disease records over 3 generations of Aboriginal families to investigate how a mother’s birth weight and her diseases in pregnancy influence both her reproductive health and her risk of chronic diseases (eg heart disease and diabetes) later in life. This world-first study will guide effective prevention of chronic disease in Aboriginal Australians; it may suggest that prevention needs to start with grand-mothers rather than in later generations.
