Publications, papers and findings coming out of ORIGINS and its sub-projects

One in three children in WA suffer iron deficiency leading to poor sleep, fussy eating, and behavioural difficulties. This project aims to develop mechanisms to prevent and treat the problems before they become clinically significant and translate findings to other communities to improve childhood wellness.

Complementary feeding induces dramatic ecological shifts in the infant gut microbiota toward more diverse compositions and functional metabolic capacities, with potential implications for immune and metabolic health. The aim of this study was to examine whether the age at which solid foods are introduced differentially affects the microbiota in predominantly breastfed infants compared with predominantly formula-fed infants.

Evidence suggests consumption of a Mediterranean diet (MD) can positively impact both maternal and offspring health, potentially mediated by a beneficial effect on inflammatory pathways. We aimed to apply metabolic profiling of serum and urine samples to assess differences between women who were stratified into high and low alignment to a MD throughout pregnancy and investigate the relationship of the diet to inflammatory markers.
