The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study

The Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study is a long-term research project that follows a group of people born in Dunedin, New Zealand, in 1972-1973. It tracks their health, psychological, social, and behavioral development over decades to understand how various factors influence their wellbeing across life stages. By collecting detailed data, researchers aim to identify patterns and factors that contribute to physical and mental health, helping inform policies and interventions to improve quality of life throughout adulthood and old age.
