Long Term Health Study

I am just curious to know if anyone is the subject of a long term health study.

Personally I was invited (I use that term very loosely) to take part in a study called "45 Years and Up" many years ago and they send me regular questionnaires about my ongoing health. Have no idea what conclusions it has made yet as I don't follow their study.

They are a government funded Institute:

I just wondered if you are part of any long term study and do you keep abreast of any findings?

Re: Long Term Health Study

Yes, ones on stress and depression, I have stress but not depression. They ask things like choosing on a scales of 1-10 how you feel, how it affects your life etc. Lots of questions. It started when I saw a counsellor about my sister stressing me out.
I also do one about Chronic Fatigue.
Same sorts of questions.
I often wondered who gets to see these things. They say they're anonymous, but they have barcodes and reference numbers.

Yes a long term Diabetic study which follows the effect of the disease throughout my lifetime, had to go in for a battery of tests and provide samples which will provide a baseline database for future study.
