The ultimate goal of The ORIGINS Project is to reduce the rising epidemic of non-communicable diseases through 'a healthy start to life'.
As well as ORIGINS long-term core research, there are a number of clinical trials, early interventions and shorter-term research studies that sit within ORIGINS. Known as sub-projects, these studies look at multiple aspects of child and family health and development.
The ORIGINS Project provides researchers, students, clinicians and universities with a unique opportunity to play a crucial role in changing the health of future generations.
ORIGINS has sub-projects exploring the link between a mother's diet during pregnancy and health outcomes of the child. Projects also explore nutrition and eating habits during the early years.
Nutrition describes the contribution of the nutrients in foods to our overall health. Every food we eat affects and contributes to our body and our health in some way. ORIGINS sub-projects focus on nutritional intake of both the mother during pregnancy and the child, while also exploring the development of healthy eating habits.
