In 2014 the PEAK25 cohort is still unique since there are no cohorts nationally or internationally which have been specifically designed to identify genetic and other risk factors for bone strength at this critical age or which has been followed longitudinally. By investigating 10yr change in BMD we have the potential to identify genes important for bone homeostasis, without confounding from perimenopausal hormonal changes. Parents and grand-parents have also been collected. This cohort is an important resource in terms of providing normative data for young Swedish women, providing reference data for future studies in women and investigating long-term changes in risk factors in pre-menopausal women. In PEAK-25, a total of 1,061 (response rate 49 %) underwent baseline investigation (1999-2004). Enrollment was continuous throughout the year to avoid seasonal bias. All women were 25 years old at inclusion. Exclusion criteria was pregnancy at the time of the baseline investigation or during the 12 months prior to inclusion. The cohort was followed up at 10-years. The investigations included bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition measurements, anthropometrics and BioDex isokinetic muscle force. Questionnaires provide information on lifestyle, recreational physical activity, health, food/nutrition, birthweight and hormonal function. Validated instruments for outcome (SF-36, EQ5D and Qualeffo-radius), ADL-function are also available. Information on fractures sustained prior to baseline and during followup were collected. Blood and urine samples were collected. Extensive phenotyping includes: bone turnover markers and a number of serum markers GWAS genotyping will be available in Spring 2017 (Illumina GSA Arrays “Infinium iSelect 24x1 HTS Custom Beadchip Kit”). Purpose: This cohort was designed to include women at an age closely representing ‘pure’ peak bone mass, prior to any major perturbations from external or internal factors causing loss of bone. Essentially it is a period of intact coupling between bone formation and resorption. The aim of the study was identification of gene variants and other associated risk factors for osteoporosis on the attainment of peak bone mass.

The study has been conducted in 1999, 2007 and 2015. The National environment health survey 2007 (NMHE 07) was sent to 43905 randomly selected persons in the hole country. The target population were everyone aged 18-80 living in Sweden during the last five years. Statistics Sweden (SCB) in association with occupation and environment- medicine (AMM) at Stockholm county has and sent out the questionnaires. They also have sent out reminders and transformed answered questionnaires to data files. SCB has completed answered questionnaires with register data and unidentified the data file. The investigation was approved by the Regional ethical committee in Stockholm. In order to made follow up studies possible, SCB has a code-key making it possible to identify participants in the future. NMHE 07 has been constructed so that answers from the questionnaire is possible to compare with NMHE 99. A vast majority of the questions are the same as the questions used 1999. The questionnaire has also been updated with 32 questions within new areas such as life-quality, sunhabits, telefonia etc. The questionnaire was answered by 25 935 individuals, representing a response rate of 59%. Purpose: The aim was to chart environmental exposure and environmental illness in the adult population Fri, 06 Sep 2013 14:38:51 GMT https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue/dataset/ext0066-1 https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue/dataset/ext0066-1 Public Health Agency of Sweden Antonios Georgelis The Children's Environmental Health Survey is carried out in collaboration between the Institute of Environmental Medicine at Karolinska Institutet and the Statistics Sweden, on behalf of the Public Health Agency of Sweden. The questionnaire concerned the health and environments of children in three age groups: 8 months, 4 years, and the 12 years. The questionnaire in the Children's environmental health survey 2003 was sent to 40,000 children's parents. The response rate was about 70%. The questions were in most cases answered by the children’s parents, but some of the questions were directly asked of children in 12-year-old group. In addition to the study in 2003, a second study was carried out in 2011, where some of the children from 2003 were invited to participate. Purpose: The aim was to chart how environmental factors like air pollution, noise and indoor environment effects the health of children and adolescents.

Almost 27,500 students answered the questionnaire. The study was conducted by Region Skåne in cooperation with the Municipality association of Skåne. The students answered the questionnaires anonymously, and questions were asked about school, family, health, leisure habits, diet, alcohol and tobacco. A number of the questions are also included in various national surveys, allowing for national comparisons with similar age students. Purpose: The purpose of the Public Health Survey "Children and Youth in Scania" is to get a current picture of the living conditions, lifestyles, social factors and health among children and adolescents in southern Sweden today. How our children and young people are doing and living are also important for the future of public health in Scania. Knowledge of health determinants, distribution of health in the population and the current state of health of our children and young people in Scania is necessary to work effectively in public health and in order to monitor progress over time Fri, 24 Mar 2017 08:04:20 GMT https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue/dataset/ext0270-1 https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue/dataset/ext0270-1 Region Skåne Mathias Grahn Maria Fridh Birgit Modén Ingela Sjöberg All individuals diagnosed with cancer from 2000 to 2007 were identified in the Cancer Register of Southern Sweden, but only individuals who were also identified in the Population Register of Scania were included in this cohort. Age- and gender-matched controls were identified in the Population Register of Scania. The controls were reconciled with the cancer registry in southern Sweden so that they had no prior diagnosis of cancer and with the Population Register of Scania that they were alive at time of diagnosis to the matched case. Also spouses to cancer patients were used as controls. For each individual, healthcare costs were monitored related to the date of diagnosis. Costs for outpatient care, inpatient care, number of days in hospital and medications were included. Costs were also calculated for the controls. Other information available about the individuals in the cohort are age, sex, domicile, type of tumor and medication. Purpose: To study the health cost per individual in relation to mortality and comorbidity.

The questionnaire concerned the health and environments of children in three age groups: 8 months, 4 years, and the 12 years. The questions were in most cases answered by the children’s parents, but some of the questions were directly asked of children in 12-year-old group. The questions focused on the children’s exposure to environmental factors and on their self-rated symptoms, health, and levels of disturbance by various environmental factors. Statistics Sweden supplemented the data from the survey with demographic data from various central registers including gender, age, place of residence, country 24 of birth, and parents’ educational level etc. Nearly 71 400 children were randomly selected within each county. Approximately 36 000 people responded to the survey, representing a response rate of over 50 percent. In addition to the study in 2011 a previously survey had been conducted in 2003, making it possible to compare the results and show how children’s environment and health changed during the eight years between the surveys. Purpose: The aim was to chart how environmental factors like air pollution, noise and indoor environment effects the health of children and adolescents.

In the first step the primary physician was contacted and after consent questionnaires were mailed to the patients. For each case, two controls matched for sex, age and place of residence and the same questions were also sent to them. The questionnaire addressed issues such as education, smoking, occupation and exposure to various substances. Participants were asked if they had had one of 25 specified occupations where you work with substances that may be hazardous, such as in the textile industry, the oil industry or in the rubber industry. The questionnaire also contained specific questions about the subjects had been exposed to any of 16 different subjects, eg nickel, asbestos, solvents, gasoline, other petroleum products, pesticides, radiation or radioactivity, and also the time of exposure. Further questions concerning what animals they had been exposed to both at home and outside the home. Purpose: The aim is to create a case control cohort to study risk factors of malignant lymphoma.

The follow-up examinations during 1957, 1972 and 1997 included those still living in Dalby and Bonderups, those who moved in during 1957 and those who moved out during 1957, 1972 and 1997. The Lundby study has produced data on the occurrence of new cases of psychiatric diseases in the population. The cohort can be used to relate changes in mental health to the individual circumstances and to society from 1947 to 1997. It is also well suited for studying the progression of common mental disorders such as depression, anxiety and dementia and mental disorders with long latency (e.g. psychosis). Interview data was supplemented by hospital records, registry data, and information from key people (family members, relatives and healthcare professionals). Loss of participation in the Lundby study has been very low, especially between 1947 and 1972. The Research Council grant funds have been used to digitalise the data. The archive is now kept at the Archives Center South in Lund. Purpose: The main purpose with the first Lundbystudy, performed in 1947, was to do a population study describing all the residents in Dalby and Bonderup (municipalities outside the city of Lund, not known for unusual high prevalence of illness and not geographical isolated) regarding personality traits, psychiatric diseases or and physical diseases. Follow-up studies, both new residents in 1957, remain living and expatriates, were conducted in 1957, 1972 and 1997.
