Malmö Offspring Study (MOS)
The MOS was initiated in 2013 and is a large-scale, family-based cohort study with register-based follow-up by use of the personal identification system in Sweden. The study participants of MOS consist of invited adult children and grandchildren to participate in the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study - Cardiovascular Cohort (MDCS-CC), which is a random, deeply phenotyped subpopulation of the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS). MDC-CC thus forms generation 1 (G1) of MOS. The first 150 participants were recruited into MOS if their first-generation index individual (G1) had an early cardiac event (myocardial infarction or stroke in men under 60 years or women under 65 years).
