NORWAY MOTHER AND CHILD COHORT STUDY: CONTINUED SPECIMEN

挪威母婴队列研究（MoBa）是一项针对107，000名挪威孕妇及其子女的长期前瞻性队列研究。 NIEHS与挪威国家公共卫生研究所（NIPH）合作，支持从怀孕妇女身上采集额外的生物标本（血液和尿液）。这些样本将用于测量环境暴露。收集了婴儿、母亲和父亲的各种接触和健康变量。队列研究的记录也将与常规的国家卫生登记处联系起来。 挪威母亲和儿童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一个宝贵的机会。

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.
