Grow up healthy to become strong Amsterdam residents

Help create a healthy future for all children in Amsterdam

Together with you as parent…

..the Public Health Service of Amsterdam (GGD) is conducting more research to contribute to effective and sustainable prevention of diseases of affluence such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases. Together we aim to help ensure that all Amsterdam children grow up in optimum health.

A broader insight into growing up in the city

By joining forces we aim to help prevent non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases, starting from an early age.

For and with the people of Amsterdam. Will you help us?

Welcome to The Sarphati Cohort!

The Sarphati Cohort is a study into the development and health of Amsterdam children in the city. This will enable us to gain insight into what influences our children’s health and to help prevent non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases, starting from an early age. We are doing this by connecting research, policy and actual healthcare and building together towards a healthy Amsterdam!

This website contains all information about our approach, the current status and new developments.
