In collaboration with the School of Public Health in University College Cork, the Cork and Kerry Diabetes and Heart Disease Study (Mitchelstown cohort) of ~2000 middle-to-older aged men and women recruited between 2010 and 2011 with follow-up between 2016 and 2017 provides a wealth of dietary, lifestyle, anthropometric, biological, clinical and sociodemographic data and represents a valuable resource to test a range of novel hypotheses relevant to diet-related disease. Work of the HRB CHDR research team led by Dr. Catherin Philips, a lead co-PI at HRB CHDR, has revealed novel insights into (opens in a new window)metabolically healthy and unhealthy obese and non-obese phenotypes, as well as the role of diet and physical activity in cardiometabolic health and disease.
