Study Arms (1)

NSHS95 samples

In 1995, our study participants enrolled in the Nova Scotia Health Study (NSHS95). At the time of enrollment, epidemiologic data as well as blood samples were obtained. The participants have since been followed prospectively for a variety of health outcomes. We plan to assay stored blood samples collected in 1995 for markers of inflammation and link these results to existing epidemiologic and outcomes data, specifically the 7- year incidence of CAD events.
