Cork and Kerry Diabetes and Heart Disease Study Phase II - Mitchelstown cohort
Initiatives
-
To provide an updated profile of glucose tolerance status, cardiovascular health and their related factors in an Irish adult general population sample and to compare the findings with those obtained during baseline assessment.
Objectives include:
* Determining the prevalence of proximal risk factors, such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia, body mass index (BMI) and insulin resistance as well as of more distal risk factors of diet, smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity.
* Association between cardiovascular health and its risk factors with general measures of well-being and mental health.
*Note: All published information has been collected from the article referenced in the Marker Paper box below. Therefore, there may be variations with more advanced versions of the study.*
