Objective: To identify risk factors associated with the two major types of strabismus-esotropia and exotropia-in a cohort of children followed up from gestation to age 7 years.Design: Pregnant women were enrolled in the Collaborative Project of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, Bethesda, Md, from 1959 to 1965 at 12 university centers. This large multidisciplinary study was designed to evaluate the developmental consequences of complications during pregnancy and the perinatal period. Data on maternal, socioeconomic, perinatal, and neonatal characteristics were collected from 39 227 children and their mothers by medical examination and interview. Examinations of the children were performed at birth, 4 months, 8 months, 1 year, and 7 years.Outcome Measures: The evaluation of the presence of strabismus was performed during follow-up examinations and confirmed at the 7-year follow-up visit. Potential risk factors for strabismus were evaluated from the maternal, socioeconomic, perinatal, and neonatal characteristics.Results: Esotropia developed in 1187 children (3.0%), and exotropia developed in 490 children (1.2%). Esotropia was more common in whites (3.9% in whites vs 2.2% in blacks, P
