Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study 2

In the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study (SCAPIS 1), 30,154 randomly selected men and women, aged 50-64 years, were recruited from six areas in Sweden during 2013-2018. The study population was investigated with CCTA, ultrasound carotids, physical examination, questionnaires, accelerometry, ECG, spirometry, and biochemical markers. The aim was to obtain new information relevant to the identification and treatment of individuals with cardiopulmonary and metabolic diseases and to optimize the possibilities for studying disease mechanisms. In SCAPIS-2, half of the individuals (n≈15,000) included in SCAPIS 1, will be re-examined 2024-2025 with the same investigations as during 2013-2018 except for ultrasound of the carotids.
