Are you over 45?The National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) Eligible people starting at age 45 and continuing to age 74 (without symptoms) can be screened for bowel cancer using a free, simple test at home. Australia has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world. Around one in 23 Australians will develop bowel cancer during their lifetime. The NBCSP aims to continue to reduce deaths from bowel cancer through early detection of the disease. |
The AussieGut™ ProjectThe Aussie Gut project is looking at the role of our gut bacteria in health and disease. The bacteria in our gut are known to outnumber human cells in the body and play important roles in digestion, nutrient production and immune modulation. Research is increasingly showing that our gut microbiome plays an important role in health and disease, influencing body mass, metabolism, allergies and respiratory infections. A team of dedicated people at Griffith University are leading the charge to find out more; join them in learning about the way your gut bacteria influences your health! |
