The Danish National Birth Cohort (Better health in generations) was established to investigate the causal link between exposures in early life and disease later on and the possibilities for disease prevention. From 1996 to 2002 100,000 pregnancies, resulting in96,000 live born children from 92,000 unique mothers,were enrolled. Self-reports (survey data) on health,development, well-being, life-style and living conditions fo rmother and child were collected five times during pregnancy, post-partum (6 & 18 months), and at age 7,11, 14, 18 yrs. Furthermore, >600,000 bio samplesobtained twice during pregnancy and from the umbilicalcord blood1 were collected and became the backbone of the establishment of the Danish National Biobank.
