Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health Study (Atlantic PATH)
Atlantic PATH is part of the Canadian Partnership for Tomorrow Project (CPTP). The study is designed to develop a databank of health and health-related measures and biological samples of residents in one of four Atlantic provinces in Canada. Recruited participants were between 30 and 74 years old and residents of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, or Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. At baseline, over 35,000 participants were included in the study.
