The article provides an update on the Project Viva study. The study was a pre-birth cohort that began in 1999-2002 in Massachusetts and aimed to examine the long-term health outcomes of women and their offspring. The study collected data on various aspects of women's health, behavior, and environment through questionnaires, in-person measurements, blood tests, and genetic analysis. The study produced numerous publications and was recently focused on analyzing data from the Mid-Life Visit, Year 19 questionnaire, and annual survey. The study's strengths include the collection of exposure and outcome measures using research standard procedures, but limitations include loss to follow-up and limited generalizability.
