SALIA cohort (only short description, see working group Schikowski)
Together with the DDZ, IUF leads the study center Düsseldorf of the German National Cohort (NAKO), which is currently the largest German health study. Nationwide 200,000 study participants (men and women aged between 20 and 69) will be medically examined in 18 study centers and interviewed with regards to their living conditions. In the NAKO study center in Düsselorf a total of 10,000 citiziens from the city Düsseldorf, who are chosen with support from the residents' registration office, will be examined. Further information can be found on the website of the NAKO: www.nako.de
