Interested in nutrition and the long-term health of children?

If the answer is Yes, then perhaps you, or a member of your family, would like to help us with this valuable work by volunteering to take part in one ofour on-going studies.  We are presently looking for:

Volunteers with children aged 1 - 5 yrs

TrimTots Pre-School Obesity Prevention Programme.    Mothers with children who are either overweight or obese or at risk of becoming so in the Watford or Colindale areas are invited to take part in this free programme of nutrition and exercise sessions.  

Volunteers aged 8 - 11 yrs

Study Title:  MEND Study - an 11 week programme for overweight children and their families comprising fun based exercise and lots of discussion on nutrition and changing behaviour. 

Volunteers - Babies from birth to 6 months

Study Title: The PEAPOD Infant Body Composition Study - involves measuring the proportion of fat and muscle in the bodies of healthy full-term babies between 2 and 8 kg. 
Study based at Northwick Park Hospital.

Volunteers - Aged 16 - 25 years

Study Title: Association between measures of 3 dimensional (3D) surface shape and magnetic resonance image (MRI) in estimating body fat in adolescents and young adults from different ethnic groups. This will enable us to look at how body shape relates to the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
