Why do you come to see me at certain ages?

We’re interested in following your life story. We want to see how your life changes over time, and what your life is like at certain ages. We choose key points in your life to visit you, which are interesting and important for particular reasons.

NCDS is like a photo album not only of your life, but of all the other participants too. That’s what makes it so interesting, and this is why you are so important, as you cannot be replaced.

The more information that the study gathers about your life over time, the more valuable it becomes. This is why we so value your unique and continued contribution.
