Overview of investigations on health, chronic diseases, biological risk factors and life-style habits in elderly men in the Zutphen StudyPubliekssamenvatting
Abstract niet beschikbaarThe Zutphen Study is a longitudinal investigation on chronic disease risk factors that was initiated in 1960 as the Dutch contribution to the Seven Countries Study. In 1985 the focus of the study was extended, and gerontological aspects were taken into account. At that time 939 men, aged 65-84 year, were examined extensively. In the spring of 1990 the examinations were repeated in 560 participants of this cohort, then aged 70-89 year. In the forthcoming period the focus will be on data- analysis. The morbidity and mortality follow-up will continue. Twelve projects can be discerned. Planned analyses include e.g. studies on objective and subjective health at old age, and investigations on classical risk factors and diet in relation to the incidence of coronary heart disease in the elderly. Some of the projects are conducted in cooperation with investigators from other institutions, such as the studies on physical activity, anti-carcinogens in foods, electro- cardiographical disorders and chronic non-specific lung disease. A list of publications from the Zutphen Study regarding the period 1960-1990 is included.
