Polish Mother and Child Cohort Study (REPRO_PL)
REPRO_PL aimed to evaluate the impact of exposure to environmental and lifestyle-related factors during pregnancy and after birth on pregnancy outcomes and children’s health. From the REPRO_PL cohort, consisting of 1,045 mother-child pairs recruited from maternity units, 300 children were followed-up for up to two years in order to assess their exposure, health status, and neurodevelopment. The children came from two regions of Poland: Łódź and Legnica. The follow-up of 300 children began in 2009 and was planned to be finished by the end of 2011.
