Taizhou Study of Liver Diseases (T-SOLID)
T-SOLID is a prospective cohort study based in Taizhou city, China, with an aim to investigate genetic, metabolic, behavioral, and environmental risk factors, and their interplay, for chronic liver diseases (CLDs). Participants were recruited from the Taizhou Longitudinal Study (TZL), and were enrolled from 2018 to 2021. By the end of 2021, a total of over 28,000 participants were enrolled. Passive, registry-based follow-ups are planned to be performed biennially, and patients who regularly consume alcohol and/or are at high risk for CLD are planned to be actively visited every three years. The first, and most recent sweep, was completed in 2021. These follow-ups are ongoing and are planned to be maintained for more than 40 years.
