As secondary aims, the study also included measurements of cardiac function and structure by ultrasound and MRI, evaluation of atherosclerosis by ultrasound and MRI, 7 day food intake recordings, detailed ECG analysis, cardiovascular autonomic function, body composition by DXA, DNA analysis and lung function, as well as a number of biochemical markers.

Purpose:

To study the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and its related diseases

1016 individuals all aged 70 (50%) were investigated 2001-2003. Reinvestigations were performed at age 75 and 80.
