Long-term effects of early nutrition on later health (EARLYNUTRITION)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2017,

Nutrition during early development has an important impact on later health, particularly through greater obesity risk, as demonstrated by FP6 EARNEST. EarlyNutrition explores the current key hypotheses on likely causes and pathways to prevention of early life origins of obesity (specifically adiposity) and associated disorders. We bring extraordinary expertise and study populations of 470,000 indi ...

Treatment of Adrenal Insufficiency in neonates- Development of a Hydrocortisone Preparation for the treatment of Adrenal Insufficiency in neonatesand infants (TAIN)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

The aim of TAIN is to develop a neonatal formulation of hydrocortisone, a drug included in the EMA priority list that needs specific evaluation in the age range 0 – 2 years (neonates & infants). Hydrocortisone is an essential glucocorticoid hormone used as replacement therapy for the treatment of congenital and acquired adrenal insufficiency as well playing an important therapeutic role in oncolog ...

Developing predictors of the health benefits of exercise for individuals (META-PREDICT)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: May 31, 2016,

Physical activity is a powerful lifestyle factor that on average reduces risk for development of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Nevertheless, we have demonstrated that following supervised endurance exercise training, 20% of subjects show no change in fitness and 30% demonstrate no improvement in insulin sensitivity or worse-still an adverse response. Our concept is that by using molecular p ...

Supporting the Use of Research Evidence (SURE) for Policy in African Health Systems (SURE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2014,

Inadequate access to and use of research evidence to inform health policy limits the achievement of universal and equitable access to healthcare, hinders quality improvement and makes it difficult to use healthcare resources wisely. Poorly informed decision-making about health policies and systems is one of the reasons why services fail to reach those most in need, health indicators are off track, ...
