Determining the associations of sun exposure in early life on the development of non-communicable diseases.
The ORIGINS Project (“ORIGINS”) is a longitudinal, population-level birth cohort with data and biosample collections that aim to facilitate research to reduce non-communicable diseases and encourage ‘a healthy start to life’. ORIGINS has gathered millions of datapoints and over 400,000 biosamples over 15 timepoints, antenatally through to five years of age, from mothers, non-birthing partners and the child, across four health and wellness domains.
This research domain focuses on understanding how early biological and physical factors shape infant growth, body composition, and neurodevelopment from the earliest stages of life.
Helping families to unlock the mental and physical health benefits of connecting with nature and community through outdoor play - easily, and locally.
