Professor Ken Ong co-leads the MRC Epidemiology Unit’s Early Life Aetiology Mechanisms of Diabetes Related Metabolic Disorders programme. His research focuses on identifying rapid postnatal growth and weight gain as early determinants of reproductive timing, which are potential targets for the prevention of childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes related disorders. The programme investigates the mechanisms that underlie developmental trajectories and disease risk. It also considers the avoidance of early puberty timing as a potential target for future lifestyle and behavioural interventions, which may provide benefits for long-term health outcomes, short- and medium-term outcomes, educational attainment, risk-taking behaviours, and mental health.
