ClinConnect Summary

The Hamburg City Health Study is a large research project that aims to learn more about various health conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Researchers are looking for factors that can help predict these diseases and understand how they affect people's lives over time. This study is open to residents of Hamburg who are between 45 and 74 years old and can speak German well enough to understand the study materials and participate in interviews.

Participants will be asked to provide their written consent to join the study and will then take part in different health assessments at a study center. This is a great opportunity to contribute to important health research that could benefit many people in the future. If you or someone you know meets the age and residency requirements and is interested in helping advance our understanding of chronic diseases, this study may be a good fit!
