The aim of this study was to investigate long-term disease outcomes in a large urban population, selected by year of birth and invited to a screening examination, compared to that of corresponding, noninvited birth cohorts of subjects from the same area.
A secondary objective was to compare disease outcomes in participants and nonparticipants of the invited cohort, and to describe socio-economic factors in these two groups that might influence outcome.

- Follow Up

After baseline, the participants were followed up between 2002 and 2006. Further, participants were rescreened after 6 years.
Men were mostly screened in the first half of the period (1974 to 1982) and women in the latter half (1981 to 1992), thus implying different follow-up time periods for men and women. - Supplementary Information
