Healthy Aging in Industrial Environment
Description: "The project is focused on the evaluation of an impact of selected risk factors of environment and lifestyle on health and aging of population in industrial region and outside. The project focuses on two main cohorts, ie. the cohort of women and their children (about 500 mothers and 500 of their children) and the cohort of adults (about 750 runners and 100 young men) in the industrial region and the some count in the region without industry. These two basic cohorts represent a wide age group of population from birth to the middle-aged generation (up to 60 years). Determining of differences in morbidity, prevalence of risk factors associated with physical activity, levels of biomarkers of effects and susceptibility, and positive lifestyle factors in the study population will be used for the evaluation of environmental and individual determinants of health in both regions. Participants of population cohorts will participate in individual studies, that will be divided into four research programs - the study of morbidity and socio-economic study, the study of physical activity, molecular-epidemiological study and the study of reprotoxicity. All of these cohots will be studied in an industrial region and beyond. "
