Manitoba Multigenerational Cohort (MMC)
The MMC is a population-based cohort of individuals born in the province of Manitoba, Canada from 1974 to 2019 who are identified in the Health Registry. The study includes linkages across four generations and multiple family relationships among parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and great-grandparents. Using an individual’s scrambled Personal Health Identification Number, the MMC can be linked at the individual level to a wide range of health and social databases.
