Chronic Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Improved and more detailed assessment of food intake

  Repeated 24 hour dietary recalls. Every participant provided up to three (mean = 2.99) 24 hour dietary recalls at baseline (cross-sectional analysis). The recalls were performed by trained interviewers using EPIC-Soft program and were collected within a period of 4-24 months (mean = 7). The first recall took place in person during the participants' first visit to the study center. The following two recalls took place on random days over the telephone. Food consumption was recorded in 11 eating occasions (before breakfast, breakfast, after breakfast, during morning, lunch, after lunch, during the afternoon, before dinner, dinner, after dinner, during evening) and was recorded for each food in grams per eating occasion.

  4-24 months

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Body weight

  Appointment at the study center at beginning of study

• Skinfold thickness

  Appointment at the study center at beginning of study

• Magnetic resonance imaging (MRT)

  Within 4 weeks after first visit to the study center

• Other anthropometric measures

  Appointment at the study center at beginning of study

• Physical activity level (PAL)

  1 week

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 35 Years - 64 Years
• Gender Eligibility Details: Potential participants were drawn from the cohort study population in the EPIC-Potsdam Study based on a gender- and age-stratified random sample and invited successively. First stage: gender (male / female, 300 each) Second stage: the age at recruitment to EPIC Potsdam (35-44y/ 45-54y/ 55-64; 100 each)
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants of the EPIC-Potsdam cohort study were 35-64 years old at recruitment (1994-1998). For this study (re-examination 2010-2012), participants were 47-81 years old (mean age 65.5, were largely sedentary and with a mean BMI of 27.5 kg/m2). Participants were living in the state of Brandenburg or in Berlin, Germany. The information in this section are study hypothesis and contains no results or conclusions.

You may qualify if:

• Participants in the EPIC study who meet the following three conditions were eligible for invitation to the re-examination:
• actively participating in the EPIC-Potsdam follow-up
• current address in Brandenburg or Berlin
• phone number known

You may not qualify if:

• Not meeting the above stated criteria
