The LongITools project is measuring how exposure to air and noise pollution and the built environment, and an individual’s lifestyle, psychological and social situation, interact with genetic factors, and contribute to the risk of developing diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and atherosclerosis. The project will take an “exposome” or holistic approach to determine the best points in life to intervene to reduce these risks.
The LongITools profile paper, “Dynamic longitudinal exposome trajectories in cardiovascular and metabolic noncommunicable diseases”, introduces the project’s scientific concepts, that are based on longitudinal modelling.
