Research Studies
This section provides the details of the funded research studies that have been undertaken by the team
Early Prediction and Prevention of Obesity in Childhood (EPPOC)
This research aimed to determine the feasibility of identifying and intervening with infants at risk of developing childhood obesity. Two studies were undertaken exploring parents' and health professionals' views. In addition, the research team undertook a survey of Obesity Risk Knowledge (ORK) of health professionals who work with parents of young children. Read more about study outputs.

Early Life Risk Factors of Childhood Overweight
This study aimed to determine the risk factors for childhood obesity that could be identified during infancy. A systematic review and meta analysis was undertaken. The findings will be used to develop an Infant Risk of Obesity Checklist (IROC) for health professionals to use with parents of infants. Read more about study outputs.

Development of a guideline for health visitors to use with parents of infants at risk of developing childhood obesity
The aim of this research was to undertake a systematic literature review to identify interventions designed to prevent overweight/obesity during infancy. The findings were developed into clinical guidance for members of the UK health visiting team to use with parents of infants at greatest risk. Read more about study outputs.

External validation of an algorithm to estimate overweight risk in childhood from predictors during infancy
The research team previously developed a risk score algorithm for overweight in childhood based on a predictor model in infants using the Millenium Cohort Study (MCS), a large British birth cohort (see Early Life Risk Factors for Childhood Overweight/Obesity ). The aim of the current study is to determine the external validity of the risk algorithm developed from the MCS using the ALSPAC data set.
The project is funded by Nottinghamshire CLAHRC-NDL (NIHR). Study duration: 1st February 2013 - 30th June 2013. Grant holders: Glazebrook C. Research team: Redsell SA, Weng S, Swift J, Glazebrook C, Nathan D
