Mini-Review of the Chin-Shan Community Cardiovascular Cohort Study in Population Health Research in Taiwan

摘要


Preventing and controlling non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is a growing global public health concern, and evidence-based data from population-based health studies are needed in order to develop appropriate public health policies for controlling NCDs. The Chin-Shan Community Cardiovascular Cohort (CCCC) study is a prospective cohort consisting of participants from one community in China in 1990-1991, and has provided substantial evidence-based data on domestic and global health issues in preventive cardiology fields. The present study is a mini-review of the CCCC study. In this review, we have described the historical background of the cardiovascular disease burden and related risk factors, especially lifestyle factors, subclinical disease markers, biomarkers and prediction models, and related international collaborative projects. In addition, this mini-review study provides a measure of insight into future plans for 21st century epidemiological research in cardiovascular diseases, suggesting possible areas of focus for future research.
