Causal risk factors and biological mechanisms for colorectal cancer risk

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Diet and lifestyle are likely to play an important role in colorectal cancer risk; obesity, low levels of physical activity, red and process meat consumption and low intake of dietary fibre have all been shown to predict colorectal cancer risk. Read more

Repurposing and enriching cardiovascular risk prediction model to identify people at risk of cancer – UCL (part of Health Data Research UK’s Big Data for Complex Disease Driver Programme)

Health Data Research UK Big Data for Complex Diseases (BDCD)

Risk-stratified management of cardiovascular disease (CVD), where people without established disease receive preventative interventions and monitoring based on their 10-years predicted risk, has been highly successful to ensure healthcare resources are allocated to those most likely to benefit.

Evaluating the role of circulating proteins in cancer risk and progression using genetic and observational approaches

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Circulating proteins play fundamental roles in biology and disease aetiology, including development of cancer, and are the direct targets of many drugs (1). Read more

Estimating the global cancer burden due to low levels of physical activity

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Around 40% of all cancers are thought to be avoidable by modification of lifestyle factors. Obesity has been found to be a risk factor for several cancers and was estimated to have caused around 3.6% of all new cancers which occurred in 2012. Read more
