Nutrition, Development and Lifelong Health: Studies in European Populations

Lead Research Organisation: University of Southampton
Department Name: UNLISTED

Abstract

The mission of the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit is to provide a centre of excellence which uses epidemiological methods to promote human health by delineating the environmental and occupational causes throughout the lifecourse of: (1) chronic musculoskeletal disorders (osteoporosis, osteoarthritis and sarcopenia); and (2) metabolic disorders (diabetes mellitus, obesity and cardiovascular disease). Through understanding these causes, we aim to develop population-based and high risk preventive strategies against these disorders. This programme will explore the contributions made by maternal undernutrition to the origins of later diabetes and heart disease in the offspring. It is based in the United Kingdom, and utilises a number of observational studies and trials.

Technical Summary

Objective: To (a) define the early environmental determinants of later chronic disease and their mechanistic basis, and (b) translate this work into policy measures and interventions to improve public health. We aim to: (1) maximise the potential of the ERC cohorts to enable the definition of developmental influences on major childhood and adult disorders, and examine hypotheses relating to prenatal/postnatal mismatch, epigenetic processes and economic consequences; and (2) conduct intervention studies in young women to improve their health and that of their children. Research proposals: Within the SWS and our other mother-offspring cohorts we shall examine the hypothesis that maternal and lifestyle influences from before conception, and mismatches between the fetal/infant and later childhood environment, have detrimental effects on body composition, cardiovascular structure and function, respiratory disease and atopy, and cognition. Data from Helsinki and from other European cohorts will be used to increase our understanding of influences on major adult disorders, notably cardiovascular disease and cancer. Within our EpiGen consortium we aim to define epigenetic biomarkers of later disease risk that will inform intervention studies. Our data resources spanning the lifecourse provide opportunities for comprehensive mechanistic and behavioural insights into chronic diseases and markers at different stages of life. Moreover, in an international collaboration we are defining the economic consequences of a poor start to life, which will inform public health policy and assess the potential impact of focused interventions. Finally, our work has led to four interventions to improve the diets and health behaviours of young women. Three of these target women in pregnancy. The fourth focuses on women of child-bearing age who already have young children. The aim is to improve the health of the women prior to any subsequent pregnancy and that of their children. Impact: Our work contributes to three current MRC research priorities: clinical and public health research, ageing-related research, and biomarkers. The work has a strong clinical and public health focus, our lifecourse approach increases understanding of ageing, and our work on epigenetic processes aims to identify biomarkers that assist in the characterisation of new interventions to improve public health. Our cohort studies will provide evidence as to whether mismatches between the maternal, infant and childhood environments are associated with cardiovascular risk, impaired respiratory health, cognitive development, and obesity. Our intervention studies will provide translational data on the benefits of better nutrition of young women, and have the potential to improve the health of women and children now, and that of future generations.

Description Healthy Conversation Skills - WTL 2019 (2018)
Geographic Reach Multiple continents/international 
Policy Influence Type Influenced training of practitioners or researchers
Impact The impact of Healthy Conversation Skills has been seen on both public health policy and practice in the UK and abroad and the training has been widely adopted as a means of improving the effectiveness of contact with health and social care practitioners and the agenda to prevent disease. Impact has been seen in a number of ways: 1. Policy The 2015 Chief Medical Officer's report on women's health recommended a shift in focus for primary prevention of obesity in childhood to the preconception period and contained a piece on the contribution that Healthy Conversation Skills training would make to delivering preconception healthcare. Appreciating the significance of improving health before conception for the health of future generations, the Rank Prize Funds sponsored Southampton researchers to hold a week long 'think tank' in February 2016 to plan a route for this research into policy and practice. (Note: Rank Prize Funds is a charitable organisation which seeks to recognise excellence in specific fields of research and reward innovators for their dedication and outstanding contribution.) The result was the publication of a series of 3 papers in the Lancet in 2018 making the case for investment in preconception health; one of these papers described how HCS could be used in interventions to engage young men and women in preconception health improvement. Southampton researchers and colleagues from University College London have since formed a UK national Preconception Partnership, a translational pathway for improving preconception health, which has members from Public Health England, Department of Health and Social Care, several Royal Colleges and the editor of the Lancet. To increase political accountability for preconception health care, the Lancet have agreed to publish a 'report card' every year in March describing the state of preconception health in the UK. Public Health England have also used HCS as a case study for how best we might intervene to improve preconception health. Southampton researchers have recently been asked to meet the the office of the deputy leader of the Labour Party, Tom Watson, to discuss how preconception health might be improved as a route to reducing obesity and long-term disease in the next generation of UK citizens. 2. Practice Healthy Conversation Skills training has been taken-up as a model for delivering behaviour change support across the UK, and internationally. In response to the 5 Year Forward Plan, agreed by NHS England, Health Education England and Public Health England in 2014, NHS trusts and local authorities established mechanisms for facilitating health improvement though the development of the wider healthcare workforce and a commitment to 'making every contact count' (MECC). MECC as a principle takes advantage of the fact that everyday more than a million people in the UK have contact with health and social care practitioners. The NHS Futures Forum introduced the idea that these contacts might represent opportunities to support members of the public to adopt healthier behaviours and in so doing 'make every contact count'. Health Education England are responsible for the training and development of the healthcare workforce. In 2013, and under the leadership of Em Rahman, Head of Public Health Workforce Development Programmes, Health Education England, Wessex piloted Healthy Conversation Skills as the mechanism for delivering MECC, and began full implementation of training in the skills with the support of Dr Wendy Lawrence and the University of Southampton team in 2016. Between September 2016 and September 2018, 174 health and social care practitioners in the region were trained to deliver MECC Healthy Conversation Skills training. They have trained a total of 1,167 staff in 99 groups. Since its introduction in Wessex, the Healthy Conversation Skills model of MECC training has been taken up by Thames Valley region, where there are now 79 trainers, the South West region (116 trainers who have trained 870 frontline staff) and the East of England, there are now 23 trainers who have trained 238 of the front line workforce, mainly from Primary Care, Mental Health Trusts and Fire Service. In total from Wessex, South West and East of England a total of 2,275 front line staff were trained between 2016 and 2018. Healthy Conversation Skills/MECC training has been received by staff from a wide range of health and social care organisations in all regions. All trainers using this model of MECC are required to evaluate the impact of the training on staff practice using standard tools provided by the University of Southampton, where the data are also analysed. Pre and post-training evaluation of these staff demonstrates changes in practice and competence in using the skills. Healthy Conversation Skills/MECC training has been accredited by the Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) and the return of evaluation data to Health Education England, Wessex is necessary to receive RSPH accreditation. Over the last 5 years, NHS commissioners have mobilised MECC by including a commitment to MECC principles in standard NHS contracts and by linking it directly to CQUINs relating to risky behaviours and self-management. This has facilitated the dissemination of MECC into the wider set of organisations and workforces contracted to deliver frontline services. The development and adoption of the Healthy Conversation Skills Train-the-Trainer and Super Trainer model has enabled a large-scale roll-out of the training and provides a sustainable model for upskilling anyone supporting a health and well-being agenda regardless of job role, context or population.

Title Saliva Direct RT-LAMP Testing for COVID-19 
Description Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) is a single-tube technique for the amplification of DNA and a low-cost, rapid alternative to RT-qPCR. Reverse Transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) combines LAMP with a reverse transcription step to allow the detection of RNA. Target sequence is amplified at a constant temperature. Typically, 4 different primers are used to amplify 6 distinct regions on the target gene, which increases specificity. Additional pairs of "loop primers" can further accelerate the reaction. The amount of amplified product produced in LAMP is considerably higher than PCR-based amplification. OptiGene's COVID-19 RT-LAMP assay is a test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in clinical specimens (nasopharyngeal swabs/oropharyngeal swabs and saliva). The RT-LAMP assay targets the positive sense viral genomic RNA within the ORF1ab region. The assay has two formats, an RNA version for use on extracted RNA and a Direct version for use on crude clinical samples. The assay is intended for use by professionals trained in laboratory settings in the detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA in association with the Genie® platforms. A Method was developed for a high throughput workflow using the OptiGene Direct RT-LAMP SARS-CoV-2 assay to test saliva samples using OptiGene Genie® HT instruments. 
Type Of Material Technology assay or reagent 
Year Produced 2020 
Provided To Others? Yes  
Impact A technical and clinical evaluation has confirmed OptiGene RT-LAMP tests to be accurate and sensitive enough to be used for COVID-19 testing, including for those without symptoms. Findings from a technical and clinical evaluation of OptiGene RT-LAMP tests confirmed high sensitivity to the virus. The evaluation carried out by NHS trusts and universities found the test to be highly effective in identifying infectious cases, including for people not displaying symptoms. As part of the strategy to deliver asymptomatic testing to identify those who might otherwise unknowingly spread the virus, the saliva OptiGene RT-LAMP tests have been used to test some NHS staff and in asymptomatic testing pilots in educational setting in Southampton, including at the University of Southampton and the Aspire Community Trust, which has seen 120,000 people tested. Results from these pilots show the test as effective in identifying positive cases and breaking chains of transmission. The saliva LAMP project in Southampton has proved to be very easy for students to use, and is extremely popular with parents and staff. Participation among University of Southampton students has been very encouraging, with 80% of students in halls of residence and over two thirds of those in private accommodation registered for regular saliva LAMP testing. Targeted educational materials and effective continued engagement with the students and school staff have been an essential part of the programme's success, supported by well-developed laboratory, IT, inquiries and case contacting systems. During the pilot, with regular testing and participation rates exceeding 80% among the school staff and students, there has been no evidence of any transmission of infection within the schools involved. Feedback from students, staff and parents has been amazingly positive. The Method is currently playing a part in the rapidly evolving UK national government policy for COVID-19 testing.

Collaborator Contribution The Preconception Partnership was jointly formed by my research team and researchers from UCL and King's College London, working with Public Health England.
Impact The Preconception Partnership is a coalition of groups representing different aspects of preconception health in women and their partners, including the UK's acknowledged experts in the fields of reproductive and sexual health, obstetrics and gynaecology, population health and epidemiology, nutritional sciences, behavioural sciences and education in schools. We advocate policy that acknowledges the opportunities and challenges of health promotion at this time in the life course, and offer the leadership necessary to turn such policies into coordinated, practical and effective action. The work of the partnership led Public Health England to publish new guidance in 2018 ("Preconception care: making the case"), which includes information, intelligence, and tools with evidence-based approaches for the embedding of preconception care. Working with the government Office for Health Improvement and Disparities the partnership has enabled routine publication of preconception health statistics as part of the OHID Public health profile ("Fingertips") reporting.

Results and Impact Press release relating to our publication - A study with families in Southampton found 47 percent of six-year-olds did not meet the recommended daily guidelines for physical activity. The study was carried out pre-pandemic by researchers at the universities of Southampton and Cambridge. All families who took part were involved in the ongoing Southampton Women's Survey. Children who are active are more likely to be active adults, reducing their risk of obesity and many lifestyle-related diseases later in life. They need to be active for their muscles and bones to develop properly. Being active also improves their ability to concentrate, boosts their mood and leads to better educational performance at school. Yet the results from this study, published in the Journal of Physical Activity & Health, suggest almost half of children are not active enough.

Results and Impact Press release - New research led by the University of Southampton shows supporting women to eat a healthy diet pre-pregnancy could reduce risk of obesity for their children. Rates of childhood obesity are increasing worldwide. In the UK, nearly a quarter of under-fives are overweight or obese. This increases to more than a third by the time children start secondary school. Children who are obese are more likely to be obese adults, with long-term consequences for their health. Unhealthy diets are an important factor that contribute to this. Research, led by Southampton's Dr Sarah Crozier, has found children aged eight or nine were more likely to be obese if their mother had a poor diet during - and before - pregnancy. The research identifies these as critical times, when initiatives to reduce childhood obesity may be more effective.

Written conversations are in a table that is saved on Teams in the EACH-B restart group marked 'Confidential' as some of the things shared by the USH teacher were potentially a bit sensitive and should not be shared too widely. Conversation was very open and informal.

28/10/20 Ros Horlock cannot make meeting on 25/11/20 but is still interested. Rosie Mackay resigned due to teaching commitments, a thank you e-mail was sent by Hazel and filed away in EACH-B PPI Folder. Paula Twynham will attend meeting on 25/11/2020
Kath will approach a Dad to join a group via FB and Tina has recruited Emma O'Rourke (friend of Julia Hammond) and will contact Brenda Hoult who made contact with Caroline Fall through her profile on Linked-In.

Results and Impact COVID 19 saliva testing. The Government is piloting a coronavirus saliva test that could become an alternative to the existing invasive, and sometimes painful deep nasal and throat swab. The aim of the new testing programme is to involve participants over the course of the progamme so that around 14,000 are taking part in the later stages. Staff and students of the University of Southampton were invited to take part, with more than 6,000 staff and household members signing up. The final tests were despatched on 14th July 2020. Keith Godfrey, the academic lead for the project said "What we learn here will be of critical importance to other areas and the nation as the UK looks to safely re-open the economy and restore near normal social activities. Social distancing, hand washing and fabric face coverings in public places will continue to be important, but regular testing would go a long way to helping people feel, and be, safer.

Results and Impact Press release relating to publication - Women who trialled a new nutritional supplement during pregnancy tended to have shorter labours and were less likely to have severe bleeding. Major postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is a birth complication where women lose a large amount of blood after giving birth. It accounts for almost a quarter of maternal deaths globally. New results from the NiPPeR trial led by myself suggests that taking a new supplement before and during pregnancy could lower this risk and reduce the occurrence of this potentially life-threatening emergency.

Results and Impact Members of MRC LEU including Wendy Lawrence supported the campaign "COVID ZERO" which is a campaign to protect the Southampton Community and its hospitals by stopping the spread of COVID-19. The aim is to encourage people to WALK apart, WEAR facemasks, WASH hands regularly to ensure there is no transmission of the virus within hospitals and to lower rates in the community so there is less risks to patients and staff. Hospital bosses have warned that failure to keep to the guidance could mean the very real possibility of a second, bigger wave that could overwhelm the city's NHS services.
This campaign received media coverage in the local press, Southampton Daily Echo, plus in social medial, Facebook, twitter. The slogan is "PLEASE WALK, WEAR AND WASH". Posters were placed in shops and hospitals.

Results and Impact An Institute for Life Sciences-funded study into supporting 'lost and anxious' young people through the COVID-19 pandemic, has received further funding to expand its research into Ghana, Ethiopia, South Africa and India.
Academics from Southampton's Global Health Research Institute have been awarded nearly £65,000 from the University's Global Challenges Research Funding (GCRF) Strategic Development Fund to broaden their research to include young people from these low-and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The original study saw researchers from Medicine's MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit and the Southampton Education School, Psychology and Health Sciences explore the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on young people and how they could be better supported during the pandemic. It was funded by the IfLS as part of their commitment to working with the global effort to better understand and address the COVID-19 pandemic particularly in the area of adolescent health.
Young people are widely believed to have taken less notice of the 'lockdown' than others and have been criticised by some commentators for endangering themselves and the wider population.
The initial study, led by IfLS member Mary Barker, a Southampton Professor of Psychology and Behavioural Science, and LifeLab's Engaging Adolescents in Changing Behaviour research project, engaged young people from across the UK to gain insights into how they understood government messaging, how they dealt with the restrictions on their freedom of movement, what support they felt would have helped them to stay at home and their views on the potential approaches to safely come out of a national lockdown.
Early findings revealed that young people felt it was difficult for them to stay at home during lockdown without being engaged in purposeful activities, while Year 11 and 13 study participants recorded feeling particularly lost and anxious because their education had been suspended abruptly with their national exams cancelled and them now facing the prospect of a long summer with nothing to do.

These findings were used to develop resources to support young people, to provide useful information to Hampshire County Council and Southampton City Council and to hold discussions with providers about ways in which young people could be involved in volunteering activities during the pandemic.

The new funding means the study is now being expanded with partners from the University's Transforming Adolescent Lives through Nutrition (TALENT) and Improved Nutrition Pre-conception, Pregnancy and Post-Delivery (INPreP) initiatives. These partners include Navrongo Health Research Centre in Ghana; Jimma University, Ethiopia; the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa; and Dr BMN College of Home Science, India.

TALENT's Dr Polly Hardy Johnson, who is leading the project, said: "Our research will explore the experiences of young people living in these LMICs during the COVID-19 pandemic including how the pandemic has affected their psychological functioning and wellbeing, and their diet and physical activity behaviours. Based on the findings and the needs of young people, the LMIC partners will develop resources to support young people to maintain well-being, healthy diets and keep active.

"Partners will make contact with key local and national stakeholders such as local governments and youth organisations to disseminate insights from the young people to inform response to the pandemic in each site. The work will also provide key data to inform future intervention design addressing longer-term the impact of the pandemic on adolescent health and wellbeing.

"We are now looking at expanding this project even further. Researchers from McMaster University, in Canada, have confirmed that they will be running this protocol with adolescents, and there has also been interest from sites in Australia and Pakistan."

Professor Mary Barker added: "We are really delighted that our international colleagues are interested in running this study in parallel and that we will be able to use these data to support so many young people through the pandemic in so many different countries. Polly is doing a fantastic job co-ordinating this unique, fast-moving and ever-growing study which is bringing international attention to the University of Southampton."
