Funded Activity Summary

By performing sophisticated, novel and sensitive measurements on the heart at age 30 and linking these to richly characterised historical data, we will determine whether there is an optimal age to apply physical activity interventions to improve adult heart health. This is possible using data collected from 18 weeks pregnancy through to adulthood in ~3,000 Australians. This study will inform policy and interventions to reduce heart disease; the single biggest cause of mortality in Australia.
