Funded Activity Summary

Both our genetic makeup and environment can contribute to the development of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Although onset usually occurs in adulthood, the progression towards disease can start in early life. Early childhood represents an opportunity for intervention to avoid adverse health outcomes in adulthood. This proposal combines two established birth cohorts from Singapore (GUSTO) and Australia (BIS) to examine the genetic and environmental origins of metabolic diseases.
