Pélagie mother-child cohort
Pélagie was designed to assess the effects of environmental and occupational exposures on children’s health. The cohort study recruited pregnant women in their first trimester of pregnancy (<19 weeks of gestation) who resided in the Brittany region, France, from 2002 to 2005. Over 3,400 mothers from more than 40 different health centers were included and their babies have been followed up from birth all the way to early adulthood. Children have participated in 3 follow-ups after birth; one at 2 years old (2004 to 2008), one at 6 years old (2008 to 2012), and finally at 12 years old (2015 to 2022), and with a fourth follow-up at 18-19 years old started during the last quarter of 2022.
