West of Scotland Twenty-07 (2007 study)
The Twenty-07 study is an accelerated cohort which investigated the relationships between socio-economic circumstances, gender, area of residence, age, ethnic group and family type with health outcomes in a population from Scotland. Between 1987 and 1988, the study recruited participants born in 1932, 1952 and 1972 from the Central Clydeside Conurbation in Scotland. At baseline, the study included 4,510 participants, comprising 1,551 participants aged 55 years in the 1930s cohort, 1,444 participants aged 35 years in the 1950s cohort, and 1,515 participants aged 15 years in the 1970s cohort. Data was collected from participants five times in 1987-1988, 1990-1992, 1995-1997, 2000-2004, and 2007-2008.
