Project name: Homo sapiens

Description: Conducted by a team of researchers from the United States and the Philippines, the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey is part of an ongoing study of a cohort of Filipino women who gave birth between May 1, 1983, and April 30, 1984. The cohort of children born during that period, their mothers, other caretakers, and selected siblings have been followed through subsequent surveys conducted in 1991-92, 1994, 1999, 2002, and 2005. Current research is focused on the long-term effects of prenatal and early childhood nutrition and health on later adult outcomes, including development of chronic disease risk factors. Fasting plasma samples collected in 2005 were used to measure several biomarkers related to cardiovascular disease risk. Genome-wide genotyping was performed in the mothers.
