Conducted by a multidisciplinary team of researchers from the US and the Philippines, the CLHNS has followed a cohort of Filipino women who gave birth between May 1, 1983, and April 30, 1984. The CLHNS was designed with the Mosely and Chen health determinants framework as an anchoring theoretical perspective. Originally conceptualized as a study of infant feeding patterns with the goal of analyzing how infant feeding decisions by the household interact with various social, economic, and environmental factors to affect health, nutritional, demographic, and economic outcomes. The cohort of children and their mothers have been followed in subsequent surveys through 2015. For the offspring generation, research is now focused on the long-term effects of prenatal and early childhood nutrition and health on later adult health and human capital. For the mother generation, the study is now focused on the multidimensional pathways to healthy aging. The seminar will synthesize results across the 2 age groups to characterize determinants of health across the life-course.
