ORIGINS has several sub-projects exploring allergy development within the cohort, with a focus on nutritional strategies for allergy prevention.

Interventions and explorations that focus on modifiable elements of the early life environment are being investigated, to assess and improve all aspects of physical and psychological wellbeing - both in childhood and in later life. These include nutrition, physical activity, time in nature, built environments, plastics and pollutants.
