The Exeter Family Study of Childhood Health (EFSOCH): study protocol and methodology.

Paediatric and perinatal epidemiology - 1 Mar 2006

Knight Bridget, Shields Beverley M, Hattersley Andrew T

Abstract excerpt

The Exeter Family Study of Childhood Health is a prospective study, set up to test the fetal insulin hypothesis, and to identify genetic polymorphisms that play a role in determining birthweight and early postnatal growth. We recruited 1017 families from a postcode-defined area in central Exeter. Specific inclusion criteria were established to obtain a homogeneous, non-diabetic, UK Caucasian cohort. Detailed...
