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 ways in which we can reduce the burden of work-related musculoskeletal disease in our population.

Technical Summary

Our research over the next five years will continue and build on the work carried out in the past quinquennium. We will complete our international study of musculoskeletal symptoms and associated disability (CUPID) and our case-control studies of low back pain and suspected carpal tunnel syndrome. Moving on from this observational research, we will explore whether the prognosis for arm pain can be improved by interventions aimed at modifying patients beliefs and behaviour. Evidence has accrued for low-back pain that maintained physical activity is superior to rest. We will explore, in a multi-centre randomised controlled trial, whether the same is true for distal arm pain. Trial participants will be recruited from physiotherapy services, offering a pragmatic opportunity to explore also the benefits of early as compared with deferred physiotherapy. In addition, we will develop a major new line of investigation on the risks and benefits from employment at older ages. There is a need to keep the ageing populations of Western countries economically active, but the health consequences of this policy require elaboration. Some evidence suggests that maximising employment may carry a net health benefit, but data at older ages are sparse. Questions persist, both about the extent to which observed associations between employment status and health are causal, and about potential effect modification (e.g. how benefits and risks vary by age, type of work, how job loss arises, and material and social means to support retirement). To address these questions, we propose a set of related investigations. As well as exploiting several publicly available longitudinal datasets that provide relevant data, we will establish a new cohort of 50-64 year-olds from practices belonging to the General Practice Research Database (GPRD). Participants will complete baseline and periodic questionnaires over 5-year follow-up. GPRD linkage will permit us to access participants primary care health records and also to trace their mortality and cancer experience. Data will be collected on change in job circumstances, with reasons; changes in health (e.g. major new illnesses, hospital referrals, new treatments, mortality and cancer incidence); and modifying social factors. This innovative use of the GPRD carries major scientific and logistic advantages – notably, highly cost-effective capture of detailed, objective health data with which to address our study questions. We will also use the GPRD database to assess the association of occupational injury with concurrent illness and prescribed medication. Older workers, with their higher prevalence of disease, may be at greater risk of workplace injury, and an evidence base is needed to manage safe job placement while maximising employment opportunity. Finally, we will conduct studies on other questions that fall within the risk management theme of the programme and which follow on from our earlier research.

Impact Committee Member: Keith became a member of WHEC in 2015 and continues to be a member in 2017 WHEC is a scientific and medical expert committee whose purpose is to consider the evidence linking workplace hazards to ill health. Working under the leadership of an independent expert Chair, it considers chemical and physical hazards, and human, behavioural or organisational factors in the workplace (for example shift work) leading to physiological and psychological ill health. It does not consider wellbeing, sickness absence management or rehabilitation as these issues are dealt with elsewhere in government. Nor is it able to consider individual cases of ill health. WHEC will assess the evidence base concerning health issues within its remit and will seek to effectively and appropriately communicate the resultant health risk.

Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution The collaboration, led by Southampton, were re-awarded another five years of funding 2019-24 (£2.2million) by Versus Arthritis and MRC for a new Centre of Excellence which will investigate Musculoskeletal Health and Work. Collaborators continue to meet annually for a Scientific conference. The Conferences this year have been transferred on-line (COVID), and have taken the form of four, two hourly Zoom meetings during 6 weeks from 4th February to mid-March, with ECRs presenting their work in the first two meetings, these have been well attended. The scientific Advisory Board met in November 2021 and gave very supportive feedback. KWB remains co-director of this Centre. The funding committee undertook a review in November 2022 and were satisfied with progress to date.
Collaborator Contribution Collaborators are taking part in studies around the country investigating musculoskeletal health and work. Their Universities contribute in-kind support for salaries and PhD students

Organisation Lancaster University
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution The collaboration, led by Southampton, were re-awarded another five years of funding 2019-24 (£2.2million) by Versus Arthritis and MRC for a new Centre of Excellence which will investigate Musculoskeletal Health and Work. Collaborators continue to meet annually for a Scientific conference. The Conferences this year have been transferred on-line (COVID), and have taken the form of four, two hourly Zoom meetings during 6 weeks from 4th February to mid-March, with ECRs presenting their work in the first two meetings, these have been well attended. The scientific Advisory Board met in November 2021 and gave very supportive feedback. KWB remains co-director of this Centre. The funding committee undertook a review in November 2022 and were satisfied with progress to date.
Collaborator Contribution Collaborators are taking part in studies around the country investigating musculoskeletal health and work. Their Universities contribute in-kind support for salaries and PhD students

Country United Kingdom 
Sector Hospitals 
PI Contribution The collaboration, led by Southampton, were re-awarded another five years of funding 2019-24 (£2.2million) by Versus Arthritis and MRC for a new Centre of Excellence which will investigate Musculoskeletal Health and Work. Collaborators continue to meet annually for a Scientific conference. The Conferences this year have been transferred on-line (COVID), and have taken the form of four, two hourly Zoom meetings during 6 weeks from 4th February to mid-March, with ECRs presenting their work in the first two meetings, these have been well attended. The scientific Advisory Board met in November 2021 and gave very supportive feedback. KWB remains co-director of this Centre. The funding committee undertook a review in November 2022 and were satisfied with progress to date.
Collaborator Contribution Collaborators are taking part in studies around the country investigating musculoskeletal health and work. Their Universities contribute in-kind support for salaries and PhD students

Organisation University of Aberdeen
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution The collaboration, led by Southampton, were re-awarded another five years of funding 2019-24 (£2.2million) by Versus Arthritis and MRC for a new Centre of Excellence which will investigate Musculoskeletal Health and Work. Collaborators continue to meet annually for a Scientific conference. The Conferences this year have been transferred on-line (COVID), and have taken the form of four, two hourly Zoom meetings during 6 weeks from 4th February to mid-March, with ECRs presenting their work in the first two meetings, these have been well attended. The scientific Advisory Board met in November 2021 and gave very supportive feedback. KWB remains co-director of this Centre. The funding committee undertook a review in November 2022 and were satisfied with progress to date.
Collaborator Contribution Collaborators are taking part in studies around the country investigating musculoskeletal health and work. Their Universities contribute in-kind support for salaries and PhD students

Organisation University of Salford
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution The collaboration, led by Southampton, were re-awarded another five years of funding 2019-24 (£2.2million) by Versus Arthritis and MRC for a new Centre of Excellence which will investigate Musculoskeletal Health and Work. Collaborators continue to meet annually for a Scientific conference. The Conferences this year have been transferred on-line (COVID), and have taken the form of four, two hourly Zoom meetings during 6 weeks from 4th February to mid-March, with ECRs presenting their work in the first two meetings, these have been well attended. The scientific Advisory Board met in November 2021 and gave very supportive feedback. KWB remains co-director of this Centre. The funding committee undertook a review in November 2022 and were satisfied with progress to date.
Collaborator Contribution Collaborators are taking part in studies around the country investigating musculoskeletal health and work. Their Universities contribute in-kind support for salaries and PhD students

Organisation University of Southampton
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution The collaboration, led by Southampton, were re-awarded another five years of funding 2019-24 (£2.2million) by Versus Arthritis and MRC for a new Centre of Excellence which will investigate Musculoskeletal Health and Work. Collaborators continue to meet annually for a Scientific conference. The Conferences this year have been transferred on-line (COVID), and have taken the form of four, two hourly Zoom meetings during 6 weeks from 4th February to mid-March, with ECRs presenting their work in the first two meetings, these have been well attended. The scientific Advisory Board met in November 2021 and gave very supportive feedback. KWB remains co-director of this Centre. The funding committee undertook a review in November 2022 and were satisfied with progress to date.
Collaborator Contribution Collaborators are taking part in studies around the country investigating musculoskeletal health and work. Their Universities contribute in-kind support for salaries and PhD students
