For over 30 years, we’ve partnered with more than 2,500 children and teens across Connecticut to learn more about metabolic health early in life.
The Yale Legacy Collaborative
The Yale Legacy Collaborative is the next step in understanding how our health in childhood informs our health in adulthood. For more than three decades, children and teens have teamed up with researchers to explore what causes conditions like diabetes, and how to prevent them.
