Experiences in your childhood shape your health and wealth as an adult according to Britains longest-running baby-boomer research study, funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), which celebrates its 65th birthday today. The life-long study, which has followed 5,000 men and women since their birth in the same week of March 1946, has revolutionised health and education policy and practice for over half a century.
