====== Reproduction & development ======

In this [[sections|section]], [[start|Lifelines]] participants (or their parents) were asked about their own birth and early development. In addition, adult female participants were asked about their reproductive life, including menstruation, childbirth and menopause.\\
Information on postnatal diet (aside from [[breastfeeding]]) can be found [[nutrition|here]].\\

A large portion of the questions in this section were asked in the context of two additional assessments, [[ROAQ]] and [[NEXT]].\\
