Asia Pacific Cohort Studies Collaboration
This project was established to assess the effects of diabetes, blood pressure, blood lipids, obesity, smoking, education and socioeconomic status on the risks of stroke, myocardial infarction and several other types of cardiovascular disease among about 650,000 individuals from populations in East Asia, South East Asia and Australasia. The first phase of this project has been supported by grants from the National Health & Medical Research Council of Australia, the Health Research Council of New Zealand, the National Institutes of Health and Pfizer Inc. Initial reports from this project are available from the Secretariat. IC Health is seeking to identify sponsors interested in supporting a further phase of data collection and analysis.
