Abstract

The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has increased markedly over the past decades, whilst there is a paucity of data on the long-term health outcomes of offspring conceived after such techniques. This thesis aims to investigate whether the long-term health outcomes of these offspring differ from those of the general population. To date we report no differences in cardiometabolic markers, thyroid function, and asthma prevalence, a higher prevalence of allergies, and minor differences in behaviour and mental health in the ART versus non-ART adolescents. Ongoing (adulthood) studies on the long-term health of ART-conceived offspring are of great importance.
