feature My Life as a Guinea Pig! For former parish council chairman Bridget Veitch a trip to the doctors is something she has been doing almost every year since she was born. RATHER THAN ill-health prompting the journeys to London, I have been helping in a unique national survey on the health of children born at the end of the 1940s and data is still being taken today. About eight weeks after my birth my mother was visited by a health visitor and asked questions about her pregnancy, expenditures and the experience with the new baby. This was the largest survey ever done and Dr James Douglas was the man given the job of conducting it. 91 per cent of babies born in a week in early March were visited and some 13,687 mothers. The survey team is still in contact with about 3,000 of those children. Each survey looks at different aspects, resulting in a huge amount of data which is mined by scientists the world over as it is the biggest, oldest set of information. The data has been used in the establishment of the welfare state and all sorts of health and social issues, such as smoking, the impact of poverty on children’s health and educational achievements. Insight46 is the most recent survey which looked into brain changes accompanying old age. Held in London with 500 of us each spending an hour in the MRI scanner at the Macmillan cancer centre. Try this for yourself! 15 cards with unrelated words, nouns, verbs, adverbs, one per page. Look at each for five seconds then see how many you can remember. Others included remembering a name and address, or associating names and occupations with photographs or a complicated diagram. Phase two will be completed in the next few months. Early indications are that lifestyle between the ages of 30-40 may have an important impact on aging. At a 65th birthday party held in London presenters described how the survey had changed their lives. One person had a medical condition identified of which they were unaware and, because it was seen early, was cured. Another who came from a ■ Brain scan results from an Insight46 study large family said the importance of being singled out for the survey had given her confidence to become a high achiever. I thoroughly enjoy taking part in these surveys and the recent “The Loveliest Castle in the World” one provided a thorough MOT of my brain and cardio-vascular functions. I dread to think how much my memory has changed over the past two years!
