Filter by:The STRIREG study is a retrospective longitudinal general population-based register study including all individuals who had had at least one plasma Tg measurement between 1st January 2000 and 31st December 2021 at Karolinska University Laboratory or Unilabs AB in Region Stockholm (population 2.41 million 2021). The exclusion criteria were a lack of a unique Swedish personal identification number (PIN). The index population consisted of 1,460,184 individuals between the age 0 and 107 years. The index population was extended to form the complete cohort (n=3,607,819) by associating the parents and the siblings (n=2,147,635) to the indexes by interlinkage of personal identification numbers via the Multi-Generation register (see below). The study baseline for the index population was defined as the date for participant's first Tg measurement.
