Malmö Preventive Project

The aim of this study was to investigate long-term disease outcomes in a large urban population, selected by year of birth and invited to a screening examination, compared to that of corresponding, noninvited birth cohorts of subjects from the same area. A secondary objective was to compare disease outcomes in participants and nonparticipants of the invited cohort, and to describe socio-economic factors in these two groups that might influence outcome.

General Information on Follow Up (profile, frequency)
After baseline, the participants were followed up between 2002 and 2006. Further, participants were rescreened after 6 years.
Men were mostly screened in the first half of the period (1974 to 1982) and women in the latter half (1981 to 1992), thus implying different follow-up time periods for men and women.
