In this paper we update the profile of the 1993 Pelotas (Brazil) Birth Cohort Study, with emphasis on a shift of priority from maternal and child health research topics to four main categories of outcome variables, collected throughout adolescence: (i) mental health; (ii) body composition; (iii) risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs); (iv) human capital. We were able to trace 81.3% (n = 4106) of the original cohort at 18 years of age. For the first time, the 18-years visit took place entirely on the university premises, in a clinic equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for the assessment of body composition. We welcome requests for data analyses from outside scientists.

在本文中，我们更新了1993年佩洛塔斯（巴西）出生队列研究的概况，重点关注研究重点从母婴健康研究主题向在整个青春期收集的四类主要结局变量的转变：（i）心理健康；（ii）身体成分；（iii）非传染性疾病（NCDs）的危险因素；（iv）人力资本。我们能够追踪到原队列中81.3%（n = 4106）的参与者至18岁。18岁访视首次完全在大学校园内进行，在一个配备了用于评估身体成分的先进设备的诊所里。我们欢迎外部科学家提出数据分析请求。如需更多信息，请访问我们的网站（http://www.epidemio-ufpel.org.projetos_de_pesquisas/estudos/coorte_1993）或通过电子邮件联系通讯作者。
