1958 Birth Cohort Study

The 1958 Birth Cohort Study is a long-term research project tracking individuals born in a particular week in the UK during 1958. It collects data on their health, education, employment, and social circumstances over many years. The goal is to understand how early life experiences influence later health and wellbeing, and to identify factors that affect life trajectories. This extensive data helps researchers develop insights into the social and biological influences on human development and informs policies to improve health and life outcomes.
