TWIN-10
The aim of the TWIN-10 Study is to characterise the trajectories of well-being and resilience over 12 years across four time points (baseline, 1 year, 10 years, 12 years) in around 1,600 Australian adult twins of European ancestry. The study integrates data across genetics, environment, psychological self-report, neurocognitive performance, and brain function measures of well-being and resilience. Twins who took part in the baseline TWIN-E Study will be invited back to participate in the TWIN-10 Study at 10-year and 12-year follow-up time points.
