About Mutabaa'h

The Mutaba’ah study is a prospective cohort study in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi studying the health of mothers & children.

Goal

The Mutaba’ah study aims to secure epidemiological data on maternal & child health to investigate the health & maternal outcomes of the mother & the maternal & early-life determinants of infant, child & adolescent health.

Outcome

The Mutaba’ah study will provide a robust & broad platform for research on maternal & child health in the UAE

Why Mutaba'ah?

Early life exposures, particularly environmental and parental lifestyle factors, have a major influence on children’s health and development. Due to increasing interest in the early life developmental origins of diseases, many birth cohorts have been established. These studies constitute a repository of data which researchers use over many years to investigate emerging research questions. However, no such databank or cohort study is available in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This project aims to establish a prospective mother and child cohort study in Al Ain (Abu Dhabi, UAE) to investigate the maternal and early life determinants of infant, child, adolescent and maternal health of the Emirati population.
