Assessment of Lifestyle and Allergic Disease During INfancy (ALADDIN)
The aim of the ALADDIN study is to examine which environmental and lifestyle factors during pregnancy and infancy effect the development of, amongst other things, allergies in children.
The ALADDIN-study started in 2004 and has now included 552 families. The children are followed from pregnancy to ten years of age with physical examinations, extensive laboratory sampling and questionnaire.
