Clinical Trial Summary

The Kunshan Elderly Health Study (KEHS) is a community-based prospective cohort study of chronic disease, mortality and associated factors among elderly adults in Kunshan, Eastern China.

Description:

The Kunshan Elderly Health Study (KEHS) is a project organized by the Soochow University, in collaboration with the Kunshan & Suzhou Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was primarily designed to assess risk factors (nutritional, metabolic, lifestyle, etc.) for chronic diseases and mortality among community residents aged 65 years and above, and explore effective intervention measures, so as to ultimately reduce the burden of disease and promote healthy aging. In addition, findings of this study would contribute to further understanding of pathogenesis of the chronic diseases and provide new ideas for precise prevention, drug development and risk prediction.
