• Prenatal Experience And Childhood Obesity
  

Siân Robinson is Professor of Nutritional Epidemiology at the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit at the University of Southampton, UK. Her research addresses the contribution of nutrition across the lifecourse to inequalities in adult health, with a particular focus on early life influences on growth, development and later function, and effects on sarcopenia and ageing. Her main interests are in body composition in childhood and in older adults, in understanding how normal variations in dietary behaviour impact on these outcomes, and the extent to which nutrition in early life conditions adult responsiveness to diet and lifestyle. She is responsible for the nutritional components of the large UK cohorts run by the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit and is a Research Area Lead for the NIHR Southampton Biomedical Research Centre.
