- Follow Up
- In all cohorts there were visits: at pregnancy, childbirth, at age 1 and at age 4. In Ribera d’Ebre and Granada, the visits were made at birth, at age 1 and at age 4. Although the mothers were not followed up during pregnancy, they answered a complete retrospective questionnaire on the pregnancy. In Menorca, the follow up began during pregnancy, and it was continued at childbirth, 3 months, age 1, age 2, age 3, age 4, age 6, age 7.5 and age 10.5. In the 4 new cohorts the first visit was during the first trimester of pregnancy and it was repeated in the second and third trimesters, at childbirth, at 6 months (only in Sabadell and Asturias), at the 12-18 months, and at 2-2,5 and 4-5 years. The visits will continue throughout his life if there is enough funding.
