Description
Starting in 1963 and with 10-year intervals, five population samples of men aged 50 and living in the city of Gothenborg, Sweden, were examined with respect to cardiovascular risk factors. In 1963, 973 men were invited. 855 of these took part in the study (88%). Clinical examinations were conducted at baseline and thereafter at 54 (1967), 60 (1973), 67 (1980), 75 (1988) and 80 years of age (1993). At every examination a number of questionnaires were filled in. For the 1973 study, 10% of all men born in 1923 were invited, providing a sample of 292, of which 226 (77%) participated. For the 1983 and 1993 studies, a random sample of half of all men in the city born in 1933 and 1943 were invited; 776 (76%) and 798 (55%), respectively, participated. In 2003 random third of all men (n =993) and women (n = 994) born in 1953 were invited. Participation rate was 60% among the men and 67% among the women. The study of men born in 1913 and their successors, men born in 1923, 1933, 1943 and 1953 provide opportunities to explore how living conditions have changed over four decades and what health effects
