Data Collection Event

SKIPOGH - Baseline

Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect information on health and socio-economic status. That included information on medical history (focus on cardiovascular health), medication intake, family, work situation and physical activity. Anthropometric examination was performed during the visit to the study center. In addition, the following clinical examinations were carried out: renal ultrasound, pulse wave velocity, arterial stiffness examination (SphygmoCor ®), ECG, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), together with a 24h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Blood sampling and 24-hour urine collection (separated in day and night collection) were performed.
