About Project

NeFCoS is a multidisciplinary, longitudinal family cohort study designed to be one of its kind, informative research conducted in various geographical areas of Nepal. Our primary focus is understanding the multiple determinants of health conditions, particularly lung health in children. We continuously monitor the participants’ health subjects using questionnaires, objective measurement of health conditions, and collecting healthcare-based data. NeFCoS researchers follow the children prospectively as they develop from childhood to adolescence and adulthood to correctly identify the effects of different early life exposures on health and disease.
