October 2022 Raine Study Newsletter

We need your help!

We're getting everything ready for our 2023 Generations follow-up but we've lost touch with some of our participants. To get back in touch with all our participants we need your help! We are calling on our participants to help us by putting up Raine Study posters in your local communities, about the Raine Study in your community Facebook groups or even on your own social media. If you're interested please email diane.wood@uwa.edu.au or gracie.cayley@uwa.edu.au

We'd also love to hear your suggestions on how we can spread awareness about the Raine Study and get back in contact with some of our participants. So if you have any ideas or suggestions, please reach out!

We don't just want to talk to participants and families we've lost touch with, we also want to hear from you!

You're all participants and we include you as part of the Raine Study family

Latest Research

Researchers using Raine Study data have found that sedentary behaviour in childhood and adolescence, such as sitting and watching TV, negatively impacts adult fitness at the age of 28 years. However, this negative impact of historical sedentary behaviour on cardiorespiratory fitness can largely be negated by engaging in higher levels of physical activity. You can read more about this research on our website.
