The ‘Top End Cohort Study’ is an exciting look at the physical and emotional wellbeing of adolescents born in Darwin between the years of 1987 – 1991.

This new study will aim to provide health researchers with information about the early determinants of chronic diseases including the consequences of smoking and being over weight in young Australians. It will also give valuable insights into the current state of vascular, renal, metabolic and emotional health in this age group.

Information gained from the study will assist health professionals in recognising the early indicators of chronic illness and to plan intervention strategies that can improve life expectancy.
