National Growth & Health Study
Study Info
This study will examine how stress across the life course affects biological aging and metabolic health in women and their children. By following a unique group of women, the NGHS Cohort, from childhood into midlife, and assessing stress, cellular aging, and health outcomes over time, we aim to understand how stress during key life transitions may contribute to early development of chronic disease across generations.
