  • Descrição: Initially, the Framingham Study was the Framingham Heart Study. The Framingham Study has grown dramatically over the years. In 1971, the Framingham Offspring Study began consisting of children of the original cohort and their spouses, 2489 males and 2646 females, with examinations conducted every four years. In 2002, a sample study of over 3500 third generation children and their spouses began. The Framingham Study is unique as a genetics study. Not only is there the risk factor collection (phenotypes), but there is also DNA and cell lines for many of the three cohorts (Original Cohort, Offspring Study, and Gen3 Study). The original study consisted mainly of whites of European extraction. A new substudy, the Omni Study, consisting on nonwhites is now an integral component of the study. Further, a number of ancillary studies evaluating stroke, dementia, arthritis, hearing, vision, sleep apnea, cancer, and nutrition are major components of the study. In addition to all the examination components of the original cohort, new technologies such as carotid ultrasound, heart and brain MRIs, and echocardiograms are part of the evaluations. Further, the study often leads the field in collecting new and novel risk factors such as homeostatic (clotting) factors including fibrinogen, inflammatory markers, and infection marker.
