Declarations
:
: Written informed consent for participation was obtained from the parents of the participating children in this study. The general design, all research aims and the specific measurements in the Generation R Study have been approved by the Medical Ethical Committee of the Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam. New measurements will only be embedded in the study after approval of the Medical Ethical Committee. Participants are asked for their written informed consent for the four consecutive phases of the study: prenatally (MEC 198.782/2001/31), birth to 4 years (MEC 217.595 /2002/202, MEC-2007-4), 4–16 years (MEC-2012-165), and from 16 years onwards (not relevant for this study). At the start of each phase, mothers and their partners received written and oral information about the study. Even with consent of the parents, when the child is not willing to participate actively, no measurements are performed. We confirm that all methods were carried out in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.
