Abstract

Cardiovascular disease, mental health, and injury are among the top health issues globally. In Tehran Cohort Study, we aimed to determine the prevalence, incidence, and trend of cardiovascular diseases, psychiatric symptoms, injury, and risk factors in Tehran households. We enrolled 4215 households in the recruitment phase from March 2016 to March 2019. Demographic characteristics, past medical history, medications, and familial history of the participants were collected. Rose angina pectoris, general health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), and injury questionnaires were completed. Fasting blood samples were collected to measure routine biochemistry and store samples in the biobank. Anthropometric and physiological measurements and electrocardiograms were performed. The participants are followed every three years for up to 12 years. In total, 8296 individuals participated in the cardiovascular section, 10247 completed the GHQ-28, and 4167 households completed the injury questionnaire. The mean age of the participants was 48.2 (16.41), and 46.5% were male. 64.3% of recruited individuals had no symptoms of psychiatric disorders, and 3729 (89.5%) households did not have any severe injury requiring treatment. The participants' diversity and their invaluable data will help us provide a general picture of the current prevalence and incidence of the main study objectives. © 2021 The Authors
