Occupational and Environmental Health Cohort Study (AMIGO)
The AMIGO study aims to longitudinally study occupational and environmental determinants of diseases and well-being from a multidisciplinary and life course point of view in a sample of Dutch adults. Close to 15,000 adult cohort members (16% of those invited) consented and completed the online baseline questionnaire. Determinants include chemical, biological, physical, and psychosocial factors. Priority health outcomes include cancer, neurological, cardiovascular, and respiratory diseases, as well as non-specific symptoms.
