Enhancing the MRC National Survey of Health and Development as an interdisciplinary life course study of ageing
Lead Research Organisation:
University College London
Abstract
The greatest challenge for research on ageing is to ensure that the health and independence of older people keeps apace with their increasing life expectancy. Ageing starts at the beginning of life, and is affected by biological and social processes acting across the whole of life. This programme is concerned with scientific discovery of these processes. We conduct research on the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD), the oldest of the British birth cohorts. It is unique in having information, from birth to 66 years, on the health and social circumstances of a large representative sample of those born in England, Wales and Scotland in March 1946.
The focus of this programme is on enhancing the NSHD as a national resource by:
Collecting new data on ageing outcomes (www.nshd.mrc.ac.uk)
Undertaking collaborative research to study the factors at different life stages that promote or inhibit healthy ageing (see www.halcyon.ac.uk)
Encouraging the safe and secure use of NSHD resources, including the genetics resource, by the scientific community

Technical Summary
The MRC National Survey of Health and Development (NSHD) is the oldest of the British birth cohorts, and is unique in having data from birth to age 66 years on the health and social circumstances of a representative sample (N=5,362) of those born in England, Wales and Scotland in March 1946 (www.nshd.mrc.ac.uk). Enhancing NSHD is the core programme of the MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing, and combines a research and a resource function.
The resource function is to curate, enrich and share the NSHD resource, on which all Unit programmes and research collaborations depend. In the last five years, we have completed the 23rd follow-up, a pioneering clinic data collection, with a high response rate, developed data sharing policies and web-based data sharing tools, raised the international and national profile of the study through the NSHD 65th birthday events, and enhanced NSHD through new biomarker and genetic data. A critical mass of biomedical and social scientists undertakes collaborative projects; since 2007, NSHD data has been shared with 211 scientists from 49 research institutions.
The research function is to foster integrative research across the Unit programmes and with external collaborators, and to build capacity in life course epidemiology and ageing research. Ongoing studies include: the lifetime determinants of kidney function, thyroid function, and healthy ageing; the long-term health effects of exposure to air pollution; dietary studies; and genetic studies. Much of this work involves comparative research across cohorts. For example, LHA leads the Healthy Ageing across the Life Course (HALCyon) research programme which brings an interdisciplinary group of researchers to study life course determinants of three aspects of healthy ageing across nine UK cohort studies: physical and cognitive capability, social and psychological wellbeing and underlying biology, including aspects of physiology and genetics. More details can be found on www.halcyon.ac.uk.
The two main research themes for NSHD in the next five years are: (1) healthy ageing and the management of health and health care needs as the cohort grows older, and how these are influenced by earlier life experiences; and (2) the biology of ageing, linking epidemiology and mechanistic science in this cohort study. The latter includes planned metabolomic and epigenomic projects, and a new research collaboration on the ageing lung.
We also plan to extend HALCyon cross cohort research activities, data harmonisation and data sharing through our role in the new ESRC/MRC Cohort Resource Facility and through international collaborations.

| Title | HALCyon data sets and meta data |
| Description | One of the main aims of HALCyon was to perform comparable analyses across 9 British cohort studies which tested the inter-relationships between: physical and cognitive capability; social and psychological wellbeing and; underlying biological markers of ageing. Another main aim was to test the associations of factors across life with each of these three sets of measures. In the majority of cases, this involved harmonising secondary data from the 9 participating studies which had been provided to the HALCyon study team by cohort PIs. For details of how to access the most up to date versions of these secondary data please contact the MRC Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing at UCL, the relevant cohort leads or where available download these data from UK Data Service ReShare (for ELSA and 1958 birth cohort). The following documentation is freely available via UK Data Service ReShare or the HALCyon data documentation page (1) lists of the comparable variables available in each cohort for topics of relevance to HALCyon; (2) Stata syntax which was used to clean and recode data for use in analyses that were comparable across cohorts. The NDA grant for HALCyon also included funds to - collect comparable data on wellbeing in: Hertfordshire Cohort Study (HCS); Caerphilly Prospective Study (CaPS); Aberdeen Birth Cohort 1936 (ABC1936) See for example: Cooper R et al. AGE 2014;36:445-456 - measure telomere length using existing blood samples in: Lothian Birth Cohort 1921 (LBC1921); CaPS; Hertfordshire Ageing study (HAS); MRC National Survey of Health and Development See for example: Gardner M et al. PLoS One 2013;8(7):e69526 - perform cortisol assays using existing saliva samples in: CaPS and NSHD See for example: Gardner M et al. Psychoneuroendocrinology 2013;38:40-49 - undertake qualitative interviews with HCS and NSHD participants (30 in each study) See for example: The content of the interview topic guide, the sampling strategy and the characteristics of the sample achieved are described in a Centre for Longitudinal Studies working paper (2011/5), by Jane Elliott et al, October 2011 |

| PI Contribution | All those with responsibility for studies can play a central role, leading analyses across the network rather than simply providing data for others. |
| Collaborator Contribution | InterConnect (www.interconnect-diabetes.eu) is a European Union FP-7 funded project that aims to change the way that data are used in population research into the causes of diabetes and obesity. It seeks to create the foundation to enable research to move from explaining the differences in risk of diabetes and obesity within populations to being able to explain differences in risk between populations. |

| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | The Genetic Investigation of ANthropometric Traits (GIANT) consortium is an international collaboration that seeks to identify genetic loci that modulate human body size and shape, including height and measures of obesity. The GIANT consortium is a collaboration between investigators from many different groups, institutions, countries, and studies, and the results represent their combined efforts. The primary approach has been meta-analysis of genome-wide association data and other large-scale genetic data sets. Anthropometric traits that have been studied by GIANT include body mass index (BMI), height, and traits related to waist circumference (such as waist-hip ratio adjusted for BMI, or WHRadjBMI). A full list of cohorts involved can be found here http://www.broadinstitute.org/collaboration/giant/index.php/GIANT_Cohorts_and_Groups The Unit contributes data from the NSHD and comments on publications. |

| Results and Impact | Green Man Festival. Scientists from the Medical Research Council Unit for Lifelong Health and Ageing at UCL wanted to tell people all about their work- a UK birth cohort study of 5000 people who have been studied by the unit ever since they were born in 1946. Funded by the Wellcome Trust, artists helped to transform the study into 'Tangle', an activity designed to represent how scientists gather up the threads of many people's lives and weave them together to answer research questions. Festival goers were asked to contribute their data on eight variables the scientists examine, for example stress, memory, and health behaviours. Instead of filling out questionnaires, the participants got a piece of coloured fabric for each of their answers, which they wound onto a rope to create their "life course". Anything else that they thought was important in their lives they wrote onto a fabric luggage tag to share with everyone. More than 600 people came to talk to the scientists and make their own life course, which they then used to help answer a research question: "What is most important to your quality of life." Against the backdrop of Welsh mountains a tapestry frame stood displaying various answers such as, "health", "wealth" and "music" (well, it was a music festival). The new study members threaded their own life course into the section that represented them. It soon became obvious what was most important to their quality of life. |
