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:Cambridge Festival: Can we tell your health fortune? Can you outrun it?
DESCRIPTION:How much exercise you need to do to burn off the energy in one sugar cube? Did you know that molecules in blood can tell us what people eat and drink\, their health\, and even their future risk of developing heart disease or diabetes? How can our neighbourhoods influence what we eat? \nJoin scientists from the MRC Epidemiology Unit at this free drop-in Cambridge Festival event to explore how our genes\, behaviour and environment influence the risk of type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases. \nWhen: Saturday 18 March 2023\, 11 AM – 4 PM \nWhere: Cambridge Academy for Science and Technology\, Robinson Way\, Cambridge CB2 0SZ \nAbout this Cambridge Festival event\nHave you ever wondered how much exercise you need to do to burn off the energy in just one sugar cube? Take our Sugar Cube Challenge and find out! \nTiny molecules called biomarkers that are found in blood can tell us a lot about what people eat and drink\, their health\, and even their future risk of developing heart disease or diabetes. In ‘Fortune Telling Molecules’\, you can pick a card\, spin the wheel and see what fortune may have in store. \nIn our ‘Welcome to the Snackingtons’ game\, you can explore how the places where we live\, work and play shape what we eat. \nAt the MRC Epidemiology Unit\, we investigate the interplay between our genes\, behaviour and environment that contributes to the risk of obesity\, type 2 diabetes and related health conditions. Our scientists use a wide range of technologies and approaches in studies involving anything from a few dozen to half a million participants to discover how different factors influence our risk of developing disease. This better understanding of the individual and combined effects of these risk factors helps us to develop and evaluate strategies to prevent obesity\, and type 2 diabetes\, and to improve the health of individuals and communities.

SUMMARY:Cambridge Festival: Growing up in a changing environment - What really influences what young people eat?
DESCRIPTION:This in person Cambridge Festival talk will investigate the food choices of adolescents and young adults\, and the wide range of factors that may influence the food eaten across this period of life. \nDr Eleanor Winpenny\, Dr Tiago Canelas and Mr Struan Tait from the MRC Epidemiology Unit will share their research from the UK and abroad\, focusing on young people’s diets and the influence of changing home\, institutional and built environments. \nWhen: Wednesday 29 March 2023\, 7:30 PM – 8:30 PM \nWhere: Lecture theatre A\, University of Cambridge Admissions Office\, New Museums site\, Bene’t Street\, Cambridge CB2 3PT \nWatch a recording of this Cambridge Festival event \nAbout this Cambridge Festival talk\nThe period of life from adolescence to early adulthood is emerging as a key time for development of future health\, including sharp increases in overweight and obesity during this period\, and the development of health habits which then persist through adult life. However\, young people’s diets may change a lot during this period\, driven by changes in living arrangements\, the move from education to employment\, and moves to different neighbourhoods. \nIn this interactive lecture we will present evidence from recent research\, investigating how people’s diet changes as they go through adolescence and early adulthood\, and the different lifestyle changes that appear to drive changes in diet. We will discuss the influence of different food environments\, inviting contributions from the audience to consider their own food environments and how these influence their food choices. We will then discuss the food environments experienced in other contexts both within the UK and in other countries (e.g. Cameroon\, South Africa and Nigeria) to explore how these different food environments may be linked to healthy or less healthy diets. \nAudience Participation: before the event we would like to invite you to send us photos of features in your environment that you think influence what you eat. Please send any photos to CambridgeFestival@mrc-epid.cam.ac.uk Please make sure that photos do not include recognizable people\, unless you have their consent.
