In 1974, a primary preventive project started at the Medical Clinic, Umas (now Skåne University Hospital, Malmö), under the direction of Professor Bertil Hood. Malmö Preventive Project is a cohort study that in 1974 invited all men from specific birth cohorts (1921-1949) and some years later began to invite women (born 1926-1949). The purpose was to map cardiovascular risk factors and alcohol abus

MPP is followed up annually against the National Swedish Cancer Register, the Regional Tumor Register in Lund, the Swedish Causes of Death Register, Statistics Sweden's Population Register to identify emigrants, the National Patient Register and local and national registers for stroke and heart attack. Every year we prepare endpoint reports for cancer and causes of death, cardiovascular events and

The Malmö Offspring Study is the first population study in Sweden that makes it possible to follow major endemic diseases over several generations. The focus is, but not limited to, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia and cancer. Despite medical progress, everything points to the fact that endemic diseases will remain one of our greatest challenges in the future. By following trial p

MKC, MFM and MOS together, form a unique material from which significant research results in cancer, heart disease and diabetes, among others, has evolved.Three cohorts with significant importance for researchMalmö Diet and Cancer, MDC, and Malmö Preventive Project, MPP, have together examined around 50,000 Malmö residents. The surveys began in the 1970s and the re-surveys were completed in 2012.

The research conducted with the help of the Malmö cohorts has generated significant results over the years. Malmö Preventive Medicine has been running since 1971, Malmö Cost Cancer since 1991 and Malmö Offspring Study since 2013. In the last 12 years, 2012-2024, approx. 1200 scientific articles have been published where data from the Malmö cohorts have been used. Here we list the scientific public

All researchers are welcome to apply for the samples of data and biological material. Our policy is that MDC/MPP should be considered an open resource. Since 2006, we have received more than 1,300 applications. Less than 25 have been rejected.

Initially, MDC was financed by the Cancer Foundation and MPP by the healthcare system in Malmö. Until 2005, we were able to provide samples and data extractions free of charge. Today, however, our operations must be revenue-financed.Our biggest expense is personnel costs. We have a full-time data manager and a full-time project coordinator.

-What is IT dad? My nine-year-old wondered at the kitchen table at home. Thanks to the fact that the question is very current at Fysicum, I was able to actually answer, that it is the doctrine of human methods of transmitting meaningful information among themselves, and to their constructions, with the help of computers and the internet. Maybe not quite right, but at least an honest picture of how
