You don’t have to be a science student to contribute to health research – but Zuriel has done both by taking part in #OurFutureHealth and helping researchers find new ways to prevent, detect and treat diseases.

A quote next to her reads: "I'd just learned about blood pressure testing on my Biomedical Sciences course, so it was cool for me to get my own blood pressure measured."

At some point, the "And there are disparities for X group's diagnosis and treatment because research largely overlooks them" becomes your friend, your family suffering or passing away from preventable causes, so I think what #OurFutureHealth is doing is imperative for everyone.

Data from our participants is already helping researchers make new discoveries about diseases. Professor Jennifer Quint shares how she is using #OurFutureHealth to support her research:

We’ve got a stall at the #APNANHS conference today, come along to spin our wheel and learn more about us. We’ve enjoyed chatting with people about how #OurFutureHealth can better represent South Asian communities in research. Shout-out to one of our real participants Samina, who came to say hi!

Did you spot this mention of #OurFutureHealth in the news recently? Data from nearly 2 million of our participants shows how younger people exercise differently: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/crlyqg2q3p10o

Calling all health and life sciences researchers – we want to hear from you. We’re running a 15-minute online survey to understand how we can better help you explore and understand the data available within #OurFutureHealth. 🧪

“I’ve been in remission for 12 years but there’s still so much I want to understand about cancer.” For Blood Cancer Awareness Month, read why volunteer Ellie believes #OurFutureHealth can answer her questions about her blood cancer. @cancerresearchuk.org @bloodcanceruk.bsky.social

It was great to join the Ganesh Utsav event in Watford at the weekend, where we had a stall to share more about #OurFutureHealth. Thank you to everyone who visited us for a chat – we enjoyed discussing how health research can benefit the Hindu community, and how we can improve representation.

Did you know #OurFutureHealth is the most ethnically diverse large-scale UK research programme? This means researchers like Dr Mohammad Ali can study our volunteers’ data to make healthcare discoveries that benefit underrepresented groups of people.

A man smiles in front of a blue background. A text box identifies him as Dr Mohammad Ali, Epidemiologist at the University of Leicester. Next to him a quote reads: "Our Future Health has asked people to report their ethnicity, and it's doing an excellent job of ensuring the data represents the population. So I'll be able to look at ethnic health inequalities in an unprecedented way." The Our Future Health logo is in the top left corner.

Taking part in #OurFutureHealth is the first chance many young people have had to get involved in health research. By taking part, people like Lauren are contributing to new discoveries and ensuring future healthcare represents them better.

A young person in front of an Our Future Health mobile clinic. A text box identifies her as Lauren, 20, Loughborough. A quote next to her reads: “I was really interested to learn that just giving a bit of blood could help important health research. My appointment was so smooth and everything was clearly communicated.”

Our latest data shows differences in drinking habits across age, sex and income, using data from over 1.7 million #OurFutureHealth participants. Tap through below and read the full report here: https://ourfuturehealth.org.uk/news/how-much-do-we-drink-analysing-our-data-on-alcohol/

People under 40 years old are more likely to be teetotal."Illustration of a beer glass with the Our Future Health logo and text: "People on higher incomes are more likely to be drinkers. 77.9% of people who earn up to £18,000 a year drink alcohol, compared to 92.3% of people who earn between £52,000 and £100,000 a year."Illustration of a cocktail glass with the Our Future Health logo and text: "Government guidelines recommend no more than 14 units of alcohol a week (1 unit is a single spirit shot, half a pint of beer or small glass of wine) for low-risk drinking. 78.7% of people who drink stick to these guidelines. Women are more likely than men to drink at a low-risk level.”

Congratulations to our Early Adopter researchers Vincent Straub and Professor Melinda Mills, who have had a study published in Nature Medicine today. They compared #OurFutureHealth to other large-scale biobanks and found that our cohort is largely representative of the UK, with key differences.

Book your #OurFutureHealth appointment for the clinic at Tesco Extra on Great Central Way before it closes this Sunday, so you can help researchers make new discoveries about diseases.

Once you have completed the questionnaire, researchers can use this information to help them study conditions like cancer, dementia and heart disease. #OurFutureHealth
