The top ten health conditions that contribute to global disease burden in high-income countries include depression and anxiety (common mental health disorders), alcohol and smoking linked conditions (alcohol use disorders, lung cancers and heart disease) and diabetes. Notably, these are all non-communicable conditions which have early life risk factors that include mental health, adiposity and substance use (nicotine, alcohol).
This 3-year PhD project offers an exciting opportunity to undertake research into health across the life course and across generations.
