| Opplysninger | Key features: In the HUNT Study, all residents aged ≥20 years in the Nord-Trøndelag region, Norway, have been invited to repeated surveys since 1984-86. The study data may be linked to local and national health registries. The HUNT4 survey in 2017-19 included 56 042 participants in Nord-Trøndelag and 107 711 participants in the neighbouring Sør-Trøndelag region. The HUNT4 data enable more long-term follow-up, studies of life course health trajectories and within-family studies. New measures include body composition analysis using bioelectrical impedance; a 1-week accelerometer recording; physical and cognitive testing in older adults; measurements of haemoglobin and blood cell counts, HbA1c and phosphatidylethanol; and genotyping. Researchers can apply for HUNT data access from HUNT Research Centre if they have obtained project approval from the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics, see [www.ntnu.edu/hunt/data].
