The Melbourne Children’s Campus is a global leader in longitudinal and life course data. LifeCourse serves as a collaborative hub encompassing over 20 core longitudinal cohort studies, spanning conception to adulthood, and involving over 40,000 participants. These studies offer extensive data collection, including biosamples, imaging, and linkage to administrative data. This presentation will showcase how researchers can harness this vast data repository to address a wide range of questions crucial to understanding early life health and its impact throughout the life span. By utilising data from multiple cohort studies, researchers can benefit from further advantages such as replication of findings, improved precision in estimation, and exploration of similarities across diverse societal contexts and developmental periods. The presentation will offer illustrative examples of multi-cohort approaches, showcasing the practical benefits and challenges of these methodologies.
