Our research field varies from pre-conception to old age, from mental health to physical health, from personal to societal.
Everything is health means we focus on prevention of burden of disease for patients and for their families. It als means focus on health care costs, and consequences of disease.
We want both patients and healthy people to stay active in society, to be active participants in their social relationships as well as in the labour market. Life style and promotion of physical activity are great prevention instruments.
At the UMCG we promote these instruments in care and study the benefits of prevention instruments to society as a whole.
We work together with municipalities in the region of Groningen, with health care insurance companies, regional primary care organisations and many international partners.
The Physician Implemented Exercise =Medicine (PIE=M) project combines both care and research to find answers on issues like:
