Highlights
This group has achieved the following operational objectives: 1. Maintenance and growth of the birth cohorts, follow-up of existing cohorts (INMA, RHEA), and collaboration in (EGG, EAGLE, PACE) and leadership of (CHICOS, HELIX) international consortiums; 2. Development of a research programme on the exposome, including the development of statistical and biocomputational methods; 3. A new programme on neurodevelopment in school studies; 4. Intense activity on communication, translation to policy,
and outreach to schools; and 5. Research shows that the environmental determinants of respiratory diseases are the main causes of AVAD worldwide: particulate matter, physical inactivity and low activity, occupational particles, gases and fumes, ozone pollution and occupational asthma, and asthma and COPD are complex phenotypes whose definitions and classification need to be reconsidered. We have established ourselves as scientific leaders in all these areas, leading and participating in major national and international projects. In relation to the birth cohorts, in 2016 INMA has produced 38 original articles (76,3% Q1 and 57,9% D1). Many of the original articles were published in collaboration with other cohorts under CHICOS, and the genetic studies under EGG and EAGLE. HELIX started in 2013 and lab analyses
are currently being completed and new statistical methods are being developed (EHP 2016, ES&T 2015). Midterm review progress was rated as excellent. The new programme of school studies includes two active projects, BREATHE and WALNUTS, and two submitted projects on biodiversity, microbiota and brain development. The members of this programme have leading roles in designing and establishing new national birth cohorts in Qatar and Iran, funded by their respective governments. Furthermore, a project on indoor pollution has been developed in Mozambique in collaboration with ISGlobal.
