SUMMARY:Let food be thy medicine - Talk by Professor Nita Forouhi
DESCRIPTION:Type 2 diabetes is one of the biggest global public health challenges\, also placing a massive burden in the U.K. on people with diabetes\, their families and the wider society. Urgent solutions are needed to help individuals with this condition as well as to prevent those at risk from developing it in the future. Dietary factors can play a pivotal role in the prevention\, management and even the possible reversal of type 2 diabetes\, but there is also a lot of confusion and noise out there\, with conflicting dietary advice. \nIn this Cambridge Society for the Application of Research (CSAR) lecture Professor Nita Forouhi\, Programme Leader for Nutritional Epidemiology programme at the MRC Epidemiology Unit\, aims to cut through this confusion to provide clarity. \nCSAR lectures are open to members only\, but CSAR welcome new members and would encourage you join CSAR online in advance of the event you wish to attend. \nMore information about this talk.

SUMMARY:Seminar - Healthy Cities from the Bottom Up: A Human-centred Approach to Urban and Transport Planning
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to the CEDAR/MRC Epidemiology Seminar: \nHealthy Cities from the Bottom Up: A Human-centred Approach to Urban and Transport Planning \nDr Andy Hong\, Nuffield Department of Women’s & Reproductive Health\, University of Oxford. \nWatch a recording of this online seminar on Zoom. \nDownload the slides from this seminar as a PDF. \nAbstract\nThe rise of chronic diseases coupled with rapid urbanisation presents both challenges and opportunities for cities around the world. However\, much of the contemporary urban planning paradigm still rely on top-down approaches to urban development focused on automobility. A more integrated approach to urban and transport planning that supports human-scale urban development is needed. This requires collecting and analysing vast amounts of big data while integrating more nuanced and contextualised information about human behaviours and risk factors. \nIn this talk\, I will discuss some of the key health challenges linked to urban and transport planning\, and share lessons and experiences from my research to support and guide local decisions and investments to make healthy cities from the bottom up. \nAbout Dr Hong\nAndy Hong is a Lead Urban Health Scientist at The George Institute for Global Health (UK)\, University of Oxford. Andy is also Co-founder of the Healthy Cities Network\, a global nexus of innovators dedicated to sharing cutting-edge information on urban health. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of Southern California and his graduate and undergraduate studies at the University of Washington. His research interests lie at the nexus of urban planning\, transport\, and public health. He has collaborated actively with international experts\, particularly for the development of evidence-based policy solutions to a wide range of global health challenges\, from promoting physical activity to reducing the environmental burden of disease in marginalised communities. Andy previously held positions at the University of British Columbia\, the Korea Transport Institute\, and Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates. \nWebsite \nTwitter: @DrAndyHong \nSign up for future seminars\nTo sign up for future seminars and/or other alerts please visit www.mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk/subscribe/
