Children, Allergy, Milieu, Stockholm, Epidemiology study (BAMSE)
The BAMSE study is a population-based birth cohort of over 4,000 children born between February 1994 and November 1996 in Stockholm, Sweden. Newborn children were recruited from child health care centers in four areas of Stockholm: the municipalities Järfälla, Solna, and Sundbyberg, and northwest parts of the inner city (Norrmalm and Vasastaden). Questionnaires were first completed when children were 3 months old, with subsequent measurement at 12 months and 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 years.
