Welcome to InflAIM
Inflammation, nutrition and the evolution of multiple long-term conditions - an AI-based analysis of intersectionality in longitudinal health data (inflAIM)
The inflAIM study is led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and is a national collaboration between epidemiologists, computer scientists, statisticians, nutritionists, clinicians, social scientists, and policymakers.
With funding from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and support from our patient partners, the study is investigating inflammation, which is a key biological driver that underlies many chronic health conditions, such as diabetes, arthritis and high blood pressure.
Inflammation could also explain how diet and nutrition are linked to these conditions and why they are more common in certain social and ethnic groups.
By applying cutting-edge analytical methods to large scale national and international datasets, our aim is to discover new ways to slow the progression of multiple long-term health problems in people most at risk.
This study is funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) [Programme Grants for Applied Research, NIHR205461]. The views expressed are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care.
