SUMMARY:Seminar - Obesity Prevention: The role of evidence in the policy cycle
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the MRC Epidemiology Seminar: \nObesity Prevention: The role of evidence in the policy cycle\nDr Tazeem Bhatia\, Office of Health Improvement and Disparities\, Department of Health and Social Care\nThis hybrid seminar was held in the MRC Epidemiology Unit meeting rooms 1 and 2\, Level 3\, Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science\, Addenbrooke’s Hospital\, Cambridge\, CB2 0QQ\, and online. \nWatch a recording of this seminar on YouTube. \nAbout this talk\nObesity\, metabolic disorders and the resulting non-communicable diseases such as cancer\, diabetes and heart disease\, are a huge\, global public health challenge. In the UK\, the estimated annual cost of obesity to the NHS is £6.5 billion and wider society £58 billion. How do we use evidence in primary prevention policy? What are the opportunities for enhancing the relationship between evidence and policy? \nAbout Dr Bhatia\nTazeem Bhatia is a Public Health Consultant and Primary Care physician with 20 years’ experience of medical and public health practice in England and other health systems across the world. Currently\, she is responsible for the Nutrition Science and Evidence Function in the Diet\, Obesity and Healthy Behaviours Directorate\, in the Office of Health Improvement and Disparities\, part of the Department of Health and Social Care. Previously\, she has represented the UK/England dietary landscape\, obesity policies and programmes internationally for Public Health England. \nExplore past seminars\nAll MRC Epidemiology Unit seminars and events where slides\, audio or video are available can be found at www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/past-seminars/ \nSign up for future seminars\nTo sign up for future seminars and/or other alerts please visit www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/subscribe/

SUMMARY:Seminar - Diabetes No More: lessons from the DiRECT trial and beyond
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the MRC Epidemiology Seminar: \nDiabetes No More: lessons from the DiRECT trial and beyond\nProfessor Mike Lean\, University of Glasgow\nThis hybrid seminar was held in the meeting rooms\, Level 4\, Wellcome-MRC Institute of Metabolic Science\, Addenbrooke’s Hospital\, Cambridge\, CB2 0QQ\, and online. \nWatch a recording of this seminar on YouTube. \nAbout this talk\nThree RCT trials\, conducted entirely in primary care using low-calorie formula diets for 8-12 weeks\, have reported remissions for 40-60% of participants including South Asians\, and 70-80% with weight loss >10kg\, well maintained at 2 years. Hypertension and NAFLD\, commonly accompanying T2D\, normalized for ~30%. Remission was accompanied by normalization of ectopic fat in liver and pancreas\, and insulin production capacity. With fewer serious adverse events\, total medical care costs fell and cost-effectiveness analysis projected people to live longer\, feel better and cost less. Remissions are strongly driven by weight loss\, but new methods are needed to support longer maintenance. \nAbout Professor Lean\n\nVisiting professor at University of Otago\, and University of Sydney.\nEstablished the first Department of Human Nutrition in a Scottish Medical School\, 1990- initially funded 10 years by Rank Prize Funds.\n ‘Broad-focus’ strategy: translational\, integrative\, research and teaching\, across all scientific disciplines within Human Nutrition.\nMain focusses are on obesity\, diabetes\, metabolic syndrome and health promotion.\nAwards include Diabetes UK-Rank Prize Lecture (2014)\, Banting Memorial Lecture (2020-21)\, Tenovus Medal for Research (2017)\nElected FRSE (National Academy of Scotland) (2018).\n\nExplore past seminars\nAll MRC Epidemiology Unit seminars and events where slides\, audio or video are available can be found at www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/past-seminars/ \nSign up for future seminars\nTo sign up for future seminars and/or other alerts please visit www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/subscribe/

SUMMARY:Seminar - Realising the health potential through sustainable built environment designs
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the MRC Epidemiology Seminar: \nRealising the health potential through sustainable built environment designs\nDr Ronita Bardhan\, Department of Architecture\, University of Cambridge\nThis hybrid seminar was held in MRC Epidemiology Unit meeting rooms 1 and 2\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus\, and online. \nWatch a recording. \nAbout Dr Bardhan\nDr Ronita Bardhan is an architectural engineer and urban studies educator\, with a PhD in urban engineering. She believes that data-driven intelligence of built environments can effectively address sustainability goals and policies. Her research is in the niche sector of the sustainable built environment to inform health and energy decisions in the changing climate and low-income communities. Bardhan uses data-driven methods that couples architectural engineering\, AI and machine learning with social sciences to provided built environment solutions for health in resources constraint societies. Her tractable research informs demand-side design solutions using digital tools which positively affects well-being\, energy security\, and gender equality while entailing fewer environmental risks. Bardhan works in Slum Rehabilitation (social) housing (in India\, Indonesia\, Ethiopia\, South Africa and Brazil). \nExplore past seminars\nAll MRC Epidemiology Unit seminars and events where slides\, audio or video are available can be found at www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/past-seminars/ \nSign up for future seminars\nTo sign up for future seminars and/or other alerts please visit www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/subscribe/
