RPI Lifelines Event

Join us for this RPI event and discover how you can use Lifelines data and biosamples in your research!

Lifelines is a large, multigenerational cohort study that includes over 167 000 participants (10%) from the Northern population of the Netherlands. We included participants from three generations, who are followed with a lifespan perspective, to obtain insight into healthy ageing. The aim of Lifelines is to be a resource for the national and international scientific community.

To facilitate research we collect data and biosamples, using questionnaires, physical measurements and sampling, since 2006. Every 1.5 years participants complete a questionnaire and once every 5 years participants visit a Lifelines location where biosamples are collected and several measurements and tests are conducted.

Lifelines collects, manages and shares data from thousands of individuals in the knowledge that the answers to a long and healthy life are hidden in our collection, ready to be discovered. Our cohort is large, diverse and constantly growing. Our data is of high quality and can be shared quickly and securely.
