Biobank

The DO-HEALTH biobank provides a treasure for future research on prevention of chronic diseases among older adult population.

The blood and urine collected for the biobank (serum, plasma, whole blood (for DNA analyses), urine) is stored for up to 30 years after the end of study (last patient, last visit, i.e. 2047).
