The University has followed all of the children born in Aberdeen in 1921, 1936, and 1950-1956 as they grow and age.
Collectively these groups are known as the ABERDEEN BIRTH COHORTS, and are a jewel in the crown of Scottish health research and have helped to advance our understanding of aging well.
The Children of the 1950s study is a population-based resource for the study of biological and social influences on health across the life-course and between generations.
Aberdeen Birth Cohorts is covered by Clarivate Data Citation Index.
Approval to use anonymised sub-sets of the data requires approval by the Study Steering Group.
