Collected Dataset / PIVUS_75years

The population consisted of subjects aged 70 years, who were living in the community of Uppsala, Sweden, chosen from the register of community living and invited to participate in a randomized order.

The major measurements performed at age 70 were repeated at age 75. Through a questionnaire, information was obtained about history of diseases and medication, as well as several other items regarding lifestyle, such as exercise, smoking, alcohol intake, education and social network. Participants also completed a 7-day food intake recording. In addition, cognitive function tests were completed, such as the Mini-Mental State Exam. Information was also collected from brain and myocardial MRIs. Detailed ECG analysis, cardiovascular autonomic function, body composition by DXA, DNA analysis and lung function tests were also completed. Anthropomorphic measures were taken.
