Health States Classification System for Preschool Children

The Generation R Study is a population-based prospective cohort study from fetal life until adulthood. The study is designed to identify early environmental and genetic pathways leading to normal and abnormal growth, development and health. An important focus of Generation R is to identify early life determinants of common (mostly non-communicable) diseases in adulthood. Pregnant women living in the Rotterdam area, the Netherlands, were included between 2002 and 2006. After birth, the children and their parents have been followed in multiple assessment waves up until young adulthood.

Generation R研究是一项基于人群的前瞻性队列研究，研究覆盖对象从胎儿期直至成年阶段。本研究旨在阐明引发正常与异常生长、发育及健康状态的早期环境与遗传通路。Generation R研究的核心重点之一，是探明成年期常见（绝大多数为非传染性）疾病的早期生命决定因素。2002年至2006年间，居住于荷兰鹿特丹地区的孕妇被纳入本研究。子代出生后，研究团队通过多轮评估随访，对子代及其父母进行追踪直至其步入青年成年阶段。
