MRC Epidemiology Unit

The MRC Epidemiology Unit is a research organization based in the UK that studies how lifestyle, genetics, and environment influence health, especially related to weight, diabetes, and heart disease. Its goal is to understand factors behind these conditions and develop strategies to prevent and manage them. The unit conducts studies, gathers data, and works with health services to improve public health policies and interventions. By doing so, it aims to reduce the burden of chronic diseases and promote healthier communities through evidence-based solutions.
