Population sample examined: N=203 men and women
Age range: 35-74 years
Baseline: May-September 2023
Collection of biological samples: serum, EDTA
plasma, citrated plasma, 24-hour urine
Biological samples – blood: N=203
Biological samples – urine: N=203
Data collected at baseline for people aged 35 to 74:
- face to face general questionnaire (collection of personal
information, habits and lifestyles, remote pathological history,
ongoing pharmacological therapies, family history, etc.);
- face to face questionnaire for the assessment of health
literacy;
- face to face ADL (Activities of Daily Living) questionnaire
and the IADL (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living)
questionnaire to investigate the ability to carry out basic and
instrumental daily activities for personal care;
- self-administration of a questionnaire to collect information
on eating habits (EPIC questionnaire);
- measuring blood pressure and heart rate;
- measuring anthropometric measurements (body weight, height,
waist and hip circumference);
- venous blood sampling (for the determination of glycaemia
total and HDL cholesterol, triglycerides and creatinine);
- 24-hour urine collection (for the determination of sodium,
potassium, albuminuria and creatinine);
- measurement of the number of daily steps.
Data collected at baseline for people aged 65 to 74:
- face to face Mini Mental Status questionnaire to evaluate the
level of attention and memory;
- the EPESE (Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies
of the Elderly) physical performance assessment;
- the measurement of hand strength (hand grip).
Laboratory analyses: determination of glycaemia,
total and HDL cholesterolaemia, triglyceridemia, creatininemia from
venous blood sampling; urinary excretion of sodium, potassium, albumin
and creatinine in 24-hour urine collection.
Follow-up data: Not yet available.

The laboratory analyzes were carried out at the UOC Laboratory
Medicine - Policlinico Tor Vergata in Rome, Director Prof. Sergio
Bernardini, contacts Dr. Maria Morello and Dr. Stefano Di Carlo.
The survey was promoted, technically supported and financed by the
Ministry of Health - National Center for Disease Prevention and
Control (CCM) for the activities of the Project "Launch of the
installation of a national Health Examination Survey for monitoring
the health of the general population Italian adult and as a tool for
implementing and verifying some objectives of the national prevention
plan" (scientific director of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità - Dr.
Chiara Donfrancesco).
