A proposed 100-year conception-to-death cohort study will investigate complex disease causation. This long-term research leverages genomics and new technologies to understand gene-environment interactions and lifelong health trajectories.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Genetics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Increasing awareness of complex, long developmental processes in disease etiology.
  • Understanding the intricate interplay between genetic material and environmental factors.
  • Emerging evidence of unsuspected comorbidities necessitates novel research designs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Propose a multi-generational, conception-to-death cohort study.
  • To investigate the long causal periods of diseases and developmental processes.
  • To enhance understanding of gene-environment interactions and comorbidities.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal cohort study from conception to death (over 100 years).
  • Utilizing advances in human genome studies and non-invasive measurement technologies.
