New research centre to tackle preventable diseases and help improve nation’s health
A new research centre which will look at ways to reduce preventable diseases, such as obesity, diabetes and several types of cancer, has been launched by Loughborough University.
Brief interventions and making every contact count within the NHS
Technology and the measurement of health
Healthy lifestyles in children
Health communication and food labelling
Women’s health and lifestyle behaviours
CLiMB is being led by Amanda Daley, a Professor in Behavioural Medicine and a world-leading expert in public health. Speaking about the new centre she said: “Every year thousands of people are dying prematurely in the UK from preventable diseases due to poor lifestyles. Obesity levels are high, increasing people’s risk of many diseases such as diabetes, strokes and many forms of cancer.
“We want to help people to live well and live longer, by providing evidenced-based interventions and advice to guide public health practice and policy. The work we undertake will not only benefit the UK, but also global health outcomes.
