Title of project: 
Evaluation and Intervention of Myopia Impact on Adolescents and Children
Proposal summary: 

This project aims to enhance our understanding of children's myopia by utilizing the detailed dataset from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), which contains a vast amount of information about parents and their children. We will also use the ALSPAC data to identify risk factors, particularly those related to maternal breastfeeding, and their impact on children's myopia. Ultimately, our goal is to leverage this information to strengthen our understanding of children's overall health status and the factors that may increase the risk of myopia among adolescents and children, thereby informing future research and potentially guiding preventive measures.

Impact of research:
