NORWAY MOTHER AND CHILD COHORT STUDY: CONTINUED SPECIMEN

挪威母子队列研究(MOBA)是一项对10.7万名挪威孕妇及其子女进行的长期前瞻性队列研究。 在挪威国家公共卫生研究所(NIPH)的合作下，NIEHS支持从怀孕妇女身上收集额外的生物标本(血液和尿液)。这些标本将用于环境暴露的测量。收集了关于婴儿、母亲和父亲的各种暴露和健康变量。这项队列研究的记录还将与常规的国家健康登记机构联系起来。 挪威母婴队列研究为评估环境暴露对妇女及其子女健康的作用提供了宝贵的机会。

The Norwegian Mother & Child Cohort Study (MoBa) is an ongoing long-term prospective cohort study of 107,000 pregnant Norwegian women and their children. In collaboration with the Norwegian National Public Health Institute (NIPH), NIEHS supported the collection of additional biologic specimens from the women when they were pregnant (blood and urine). These specimens will be used for the measurement of environmental exposures. A variety of exposure and health variables on babies, mothers and fathers are collected. Records from the cohort study will also be linked to routine national health registries. The Norwegian Mother & Child Cohort Study provides a valuable opportunity to assess the role of environmental exposures in the health of women and their children.
