The Fenland Study investigates the interaction between environmental and genetic factors in determining obesity, type 2 diabetes, and related metabolic disorders. These conditions are a considerable public health concern, but their causes and factors that predict who will be affected by them are not completely understood.
What makes the Fenland Study unique is the level of detail it collects about the health and lifestyle of participants, and the objective measurement techniques used in the screening.
The Fenland COVID-19 study (2020 - 2021) measured levels of Covid infection in the Fenland cohort, investigated early detection, and explored the wider health impacts of the pandemic.
