About Us
Under the lead of Dr. Kristi Adamo, the Prevention in the Early Years research program at the University of Ottawa focuses on early intervention and upstream prevention of the intergenerational cycle of obesity and metabolic disease. Specifically, we investigate the relationship between pregnancy and downstream health, and the impact of healthy active living on placental biology. We also explore the applicability of healthy active living intervention strategies during key phases of growth, development and determination of long term health (i.e. intrauterine, preschool).
Our Mission
|
Through research and collaboration we aim to explore relationships between pregnancy and downstream health, and the impact of healthy active living on placental biology. Furthermore, we strive to discover healthy active living intervention strategies for children and mothers-to-be. By offering a healthy start to society's youth and future generations to come, we aspire to reduce the health care burden faced by society. We are motivated to ensure that young children begin life with a healthy foundation from which they can live a long, healthy, and prosperous life. We are driven to pursue our vision of a healthier future.
