Population sample examined: N=209 men and women
Age range: 35-74 years
Baseline: January-June 2025
Collection of biological samples: serum, EDTA
plasma, citrated plasma, 24-hour urine
Biological samples – blood: N=201
Biological samples – urine: N=200
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;
- electrocardiogram (ECG).
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 and funded by the European Commission
through the Joint Action on Cardiovascular Diseases and Diabetes
(JACARDI), and in particular it is included in the activities of WP8 –
pilot 77 (pilot leader Dr. Chiara Donfrancesco).
