Generation of a reference cohort with extreme eating behaviour (Z02)

Subject Area Endocrinology, Diabetology, Metabolism
Term from 2014 to 2018
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 222193485
 

Project Description

We aim to follow-up participants of the reference cohorts to characterise their long-term development of body weight and eating behaviour, to expand phenotype analysis and to serve as a screening and data- and biomaterial generating platform for newly developing projects. The project will continue to serve as recruitment platform for the T-CRC projects who can take advantage of the well-characterised participants of the reference cohorts to focus on specifically defined subgroups and control for possible confounding variables.
