The main aim of this thesis was to identify early-life exposures leading to an increased risk of adverse respiratory health in childhood. The main results, strengths and limitations of these studies have been discussed in the previous chapters. In this chapter, a general discussion of the main findings of this thesis and their interpretation will be given. Additionally, this chapter will provide a discussion on general methodological issues, and will conclude with the clinical implications and suggestions for future research.
Due to corona, the PhD defences do not take place publicly in the usual way in the Senate Hall or in the Professor Andries Querido Room. The candidates will defend their dissertation either in a small group or online.
