Clinical Trial Summary

Akershus Cardiac Examination (ACE) 1950 Study is a large, observational, prospective, longitudinal, population-based cohort study. The overall aim is to establish an extensive cardio- and cerebrovascular age cohort of elderly subjects for various longitudinal long-term follow-up studies of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

Description:

Design: The Akershus Cardiac Examination (ACE) 1950 Study is a population-based, prospective, cerebro- and cardiovascular age-cohort study of all men and women born in 1950 in Akershus County, Norway.

Time schedule: Study inclusion and baseline examinations took place in the period September 2012 - May 2015.

Current status: 10-year follow-up examinations of all participants are undertaken in 2023-2025, and sub-studies are ongoing.
