MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing at UCL

The MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing at UCL (LHA) was established in 2008 and Nish Chaturvedi has been director since 2017.

The mission of the LHA is to identify biological and social factors that affect lifelong health, ageing and the development of chronic disease, and to use findings to design and test interventions that enhance healthy ageing.

The LHA is home to three groups:

MRC National Survey of Health and Development

The MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD), the oldest of the British birth cohort studies, is unique in having data from birth on the health and social circumstances of a representative sample (N=5362) of men and women born in England, Scotland or Wales in March 1946. The NSHD has been funded by the Medical Research Council since 1962.

Southall And Brent REvisited Study

The Southall And Brent REvisited Study (SABRE) is a medical research study involving nearly 5000 European, Indian Asian and African Caribbean men and women. The aim is to highlight ethnic differences in cardiometabolic risk and provide potential explanations for such differences.

LINKAGE-Camden

The aim of LINKAGE-Camden is to gain further understanding of the development and nature of Delirium but also its potential effects on cognition and memory. Started in January 2017, LINKAGE-Camden is in the process of recruiting people over the age of 70, who are living in the borough of Camden and will be followed up over a 2 year period.
