Shaping young lives
on a pathway to health
The NEW1000 Study is a pregnancy cohort study, in Newcastle Australia, that invites families to partner with us in understanding how the first 1000 days of life can impact health and wellbeing for the rest of our lives.
The first 1000 days of a child’s life, starting from conception, are crucial for shaping their life-long health, social development, and wellbeing, ultimately allowing them to reach their full potential.
The goal of the NEW1000 study is to set children most at risk of chronic disease on a life trajectory of health.
Imagine every child being able to reach their full potential.
“Imagine if we could predict adult disease early and use precise interventions to put people on trajectories to good health rather than disease.
NEW1000 will unite research groups, universities, organisations, institutions and the community to achieve this goal and improve the health of our future generations "
- Professor Craig Pennell, NEW1000 Study Director
