Children’s Health Study

Two years I wrote about Dr. Philip Landrigan, the chairman of community and preventative medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in Manhattan.
Landrigan argued the need to fund a broad study of children’s health that would track children from before birth until the age of 21. The cost: $2.7 billion.
The National Children’s Study will begin to pregnant women in January and will look at premature births, childhood obesity, cancer, autism and other disorders.
The New York Times offers an “update”:http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/28/health/research/28chil.html?_r=1&ref=health&oref=slogin today.
