Health2010-14: Monitoring Biomarkers of Chronic Diseases in the General Population
The overall aim of the Health2010-14 is to monitor the prevalence and trends of common
 chronic diseases (osteoporosis, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, asthma, allergy, and
 eczema) that are often un-diagnosed in the general population as well as biomarkers of
 micronutrient status. Specific aims include identification of novel lifestyle and genetic
 risk factors for the above diseases by investigating gene-lifestyle interactions.
Over a 5-year period a series of population-based studies are carried out including a total
 of up to 10,000 persons aged 18-69 years selected from the general population of Copenhagen,
 Denmark. The study also include a follow-up of a previous population study (the Health2006).
 Participants complete questionnaires on health, lifestyle, and social factors and undergo a
 health examination including measurements of metabolic biomarkers, allergy tests,
 anthropometric measures, bioimpedance, biomarkers of micronutrients, spirometry.
