SUMMARY:ISPAH Conference – Sedentary Behaviour Mechanisms Satellite 2018
DESCRIPTION:Sedentary behaviour mechanisms: biological and behavioural pathways linking sitting to adverse health outcomes\nThe Moller Centre\, Cambridge\, Saturday 13th October 2018\n\n***** NEW! Registration is open – register here\n\n\n#ispahSBC2018 \n  \nThe ISPAH Sedentary Behaviour Council will run a one day workshop in Cambridge on Saturday 13 October\, just prior to the ISPAH Congress in London. \nDuring the course of the day we will examine established and emerging evidence on the biological mechanisms via which sedentary behaviour may affect disease risk. Understanding biological pathways is critical for causal inference. Better mechanistic understanding may also provide insight into the best way to alter sedentary behaviour (reduce total duration vs ’break up’ extended bouts) in order to optimise disease prevention. \nWe have assembled an exciting programme\, which includes Professor Nick Wareham as our keynote speaker. Our morning session will feature talks from distinguished and emerging researchers who will share new findings from mechanistic studies. In the afternoon\, we will highlight new methods that can help extend this field of enquiry. Confirmed speakers include: \n\nProfessor David Dunstan\, Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute\, Melbourne\nDr Thomas Yates\, University of Leicester\nDr Audrey Bergouignan\, University of Colorado\, and CNRS IPHC – University of Strasbourg\n\nThe meeting starts at 09:00 and finishes at 16:00\, making it possible to travel from and to London for the day (50 minutes by train). \nRegistration fee will be £110 for Sedentary Behaviour Council members\, and £140 for non-members. Registration includes morning and afternoon tea\, lunch and lunchtime games on the lawn. \nOnly 65 spaces are available for this workshop. \nClick here to register to attend the meeting. \n\nView the draft programme\nVenue and travel\nAccommodation options if required\n\nPlease send any questions to SBCsatellite2018@mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk

SUMMARY:ISPAH Conference - Physical Activity Data Harmonisation Satellite 2018
DESCRIPTION:Using existing data for a better future\nOpportunities and challenges of harmonising activity data\nTrinity Hall\, Cambridge\, Thursday 18 October 2018\n****** \nSorry\, registration has now closed and we are fully booked. \n******\n#ispahDataCam18\nFollowing the main 2018 ISPAH Conference in London 15-17 October\, this one day meeting in Cambridge will create a platform for discussions about retrospective harmonisation of physical activity and sedentary behaviour data globally. \nRetrospective harmonisation enables researchers to bring together activity data acquired using diverse methods\, settings or populations for co-analysis. Combining data in this way can provide greater heterogeneity\, increased statistical power to investigate weak or complex associations\, and extended scientific impact relative to individual study analyses. \nVisit the main conference web-page: www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/ispahdata18/

SUMMARY:Seminar - Can we promote physical activity at the population level? Findings from a community-based cluster randomised trial and a sport fandom-based app study.
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar by:\n \nDr Masamitsu Kamada\, University of Tokyo\, Japan. \nCan we promote physical activity at the population level? Findings from a community-based cluster randomised trial and a sport fandom-based app study.\n\nMRC Epidemiology Unit meeting rooms 1 and 2\, Institute of Metabolic Science\, Cambridge Biomedical Campus\n\nAbstract\nEffective population strategies to promote physical activity are needed to reduce the global burden of non-communicable diseases stemming from physical inactivity. However\, evidence from a few short-term trials has highlighted the difficulty of achieving population-level improvements in physical activity through multi-strategic community-wide interventions. In this talk\, I will introduce the findings from 1) a community-based 5-year cluster randomised trial and 2) a quasi-experimental study of a sport fandom-based app developed by the Japanese Professional Baseball League (Pacific League) and discuss key strategies to achieve population-level improvements in physical activity. \nAbout Dr Kamada\n\nMasamitsu Kamada\, MEd\, PhD\, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Health and Social Behavior at the School of Public Health\, the University of Tokyo\, Japan. His work focuses on physical activity epidemiology and implementation science. He completed both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in Physical and Health Education at the University of Tokyo\, and a doctoral degree in Environmental and Preventive Medicine at the Shimane University before completing JSPS Postdoctoral Research Fellowships at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital\, Harvard Medical School and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health\, USA. \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:Improving our diets: more freedom or more control?
DESCRIPTION:A Cambridge Festival of Ideas event\n \n23 October 2018\, 5.30pm – 7.00pm\nMcCrum Lecture Theatre\, Corpus Christi College \nPlease note that booking is required for this event. You can book here now. \n#freedomorcontrol #cfi2018 \nAcross the world our diets are often poor\, damaging our health\, and putting pressure on collective resources such as healthcare. And the negative effects of the unhealthy food available in our shops\, restaurants and takeaways tend to hit the poorest in society hardest. \nGovernments\, public health agencies and commercial companies have attempted various measures to get us to eat more healthily\, including food labelling\, taxes\, changing the recipes of processed foods\, and influencing what shops are on the high street. The choice of which approach to use is not only a matter of what works\, but touches on fundamental questions about our responsibilities and freedoms. Do public health policies restrict our individual liberty to make our own choices? Or does the state have a duty to protect us from profiteering corporations and our own worst instincts? Are there universal answers to these questions\, or are they different for different groups and individuals in a society? \nJoin public health and policy experts for a facilitated discussion to explore these questions and the practical and philosophical challenges they raise. Find out how evidence and ethics can help us decide when and how to intervene. \nThis event is co-organised by CEDAR and the Bennett Institute for Public Policy \nPlease note that booking is required for this event. You can book here now. \nA note about directions \nThe McCrum Lecture Theatre is down a passage next to the Eagle Pub on Bene’t Street\, so the postcode on the map below will not point you directly to it.
