Chinese Multi-Provincial Cohort Study (CMCS)
The CMCS, initiated in 1992, aims to investigate the lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a Chinese population. The study began with an initial cohort of over 27,000 participants aged between 35 and 64 years free of CVD, recruited from 16 collaborating centers across China. Over the years, the study has expanded with additional cohorts and currently includes 21,953 individuals, aged between 35 and 84 years at the time of recruitment, comprising of 11,366 men and 10,587 women. Participants are followed up annually or biannually.
