Nurse visits in childhood may shape health decades later, 29-Year study finds

This study follows over 1,000 mothers and their first-born children 29 years after they took part in a program where nurses visited them at home during pregnancy and early childhood. Researchers are measuring things like weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, and other health markers to see if the program helped lower the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes. The goal is to understand whether early-life support can have long-lasting health benefits.
