Doetinchem Cohort Study
The Doetinchem Cohort Study is a prospective longitudinal study on lifestyle and other determinants of health and disease. It started in 1987 as a monitoring study of cardiovascular disease risk factors in the inhabitants of Doetinchem in the Netherlands, aged 20 to 59 years. Of those invited, 12,404 (62%) participated in the baseline examination and the majority of those assessed at baseline were invited for a first follow-up in 1993 - 1997. Participants have been followed up every five years since, with round 7 taking place in 2018 - 2022 with participants aged 51 to 90 years.
