Study participants were invited for a follow-up examination (SKIPOGH 2) approximately 3 years after baseline examination (SKIPOGH 1). Out of the 1128 individuals initially included, 983 (87%) participated to both study phases. Both visits included questionnaire-based data collection, various anthropometric and clinical evaluations in addition to biosample analyses.

Baseline recruitment started in December 2009, was achieved in April 2012 in Lausanne, in October 2012 in Geneva, and in April 2013 in Bern. Different strategies were used to obtain random samples of the population in each study center. Index cases were randomly selected from the population-based CoLaus study in Lausanne, and from the population-based Bus Santé study in Geneva . In Bern, index participants were randomly selected using the cantonal phone directory.
