[WATCH] Growing Up with GUSTO
25 Jun 2021
In June 2009, GUSTO (Growing Up in òòò½ÍøTowards Healthy Outcomes) recruited its first mother for what would become Singapore's largest and most comprehensive birth cohort study – a collaboration involving the òòò½ÍøInstitute for Clinical Sciences (SICS), KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH), National University Health System (NUHS), and the National University of òòò½Íø(NUS).
Over the last 11 years, GUSTO researchers have published many pertinent findings revealing how conditions in pregnancy and early childhood influence the subsequent health and development of women and children.
The detailed observations and sampling on these mothers and children have been instrumental in discovering features more representative of the local and Asian population that can be used to improve the health and potential of our communities.
