Summary
This research aims to determine whether factors affecting the foetus or the infant have long term consequences on health. The aspects of health I am focusing on are respiratory health- asthma and lung function, and cognitive performance. The perinatal and infant factors I am using in analysis are birth measures such as weight and length, breast feeding duration, and pro-longed supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids.
