Funded Activity Summary

The Perth Respiratory Birth Cohort Study began in 1987 and has assessed 253 children before birth and at follow-up at 1, 6 & 12 months, and 6, 11 & 18 years of age. The study has resulted in 63 publications and achieved consistent international prominence. The proposed study of the cohort at 24 yrs aims to determine the respiratory and immunological status of the cohort as young adults. This follow-up is essential to determine how early risk factors affect respiratory outcome in young adults.
