Highlights
- LifeCycle was developed to harmonize and analyze data from more than 250,000 participants across Europe and Australia, involving cohorts in the EU-funded LifeCycle Project.
- The mental health data contain longitudinal and cross-sectional data from birth through childhood, adolescence and adulthood, covering mental health domains across behavior, cognition, and psychopathology.
- The mental health data include qualitative data (questionnaires and clinical examination), biological samples, imaging (MRI and fetal ultrasound), and epigenetic data.
- Life course trajectories and exposure-outcome models will be used to identify early-life risk factors for mental illness, and develop predictive markers for later disease.
- External partners interested in collaborating can visit the LifeCycle Project website (https://lifecycle-project.eu/) for further information.
