Barcelona Life Study Cohort

The Barcelona Life Study Cohort (BiSC) is an exposome birth cohort, aiming to comprehensively evaluate the socio-environmental and genetic determinants (i) of foetal and child health, growth, and development towards adult life and (ii) of maternal mental and physical health and wellbeing during pregnancy and afterwards, while shedding light on the underlying biological mechanisms.

For more information about the BiSC recruitment, follow-ups and data collection, please visit here and read the cohort profile article.

Participants say

Let’s see if with this study we can bring to light results. Maybe with numbers and letters we get politicians to move and legislate

Sabieu que BiSC va participar en un documental sobre el dret a l'aire net? Ja podeu veure a Sense Ficció "Respira, mama", un film de la Meri Collazos. #RespiraMama3Cat @senseficcio @som3cat https://www.3cat.cat/3cat/respira-mama/video/6314551/

Els i les investigadores del projecte estem convençudes que això ens permetrà obtenir una comprensió més completa i acurada de la complexa interacció dels factors que configuren la nostra salut i el risc de malaltia des de les nostres primeres etapes de desenvolupament.
