Summary
This study checks on families who took part in a nurse home-visiting program during pregnancy and early childhood, about 29 years ago. Researchers are measuring things like weight, blood pressure, and cholesterol in both mothers and their now-grown children. The goal is to see if early support from nurses can reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes over the long term.
