  • DNBC

    The Danish National Birth Cohort
    The Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC) was established to investigate the causal link between exposures in early life and disease later on and the possibilites for disease prevention. Initial data collection information was collected by computer-assisted telephone interviews with the women twice during pregnancy and when their children were six and 18 months old. Further data collections were conducted when the children were 7, 11 and 18 years old. For more details, please visit the DNBC homepage.

  • GenR

    The Generation R Study
    The Generation R Study is a population-based prospective cohort study from fetal life until adulthood and is conducted in Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands. The study is designed to identify early environmental and genetic causes and causal pathways leading to normal and abnormal growth, development and health from fetal life, childhood and young adulthood. This multidisciplinary study focuses on several health outcomes including behaviour and cognition, body composition, eye development, growth, hearing, heart and vascular development, infectious disease and immunity, oral health and facial growth, respiratory health, allergy and skin disorders of children and their parents. Main exposures of interest include environmental, endocrine, genomic (genetic, epigenetic, microbiome), lifestyle related, nutritional and socio-demographic determinants. The Generation R study enrolled 9,153 mothers with a delivery date from April 2002 until January 2006, who participated with a total of 9,778 pregnancies in the study from which 9,901 children were expected to be born; the mothers gave birth to 9,749 live born children.
