Swedish CArdioPulmonary bioImage Study - SCAPIS
A nationwide, open-access, population-based cohort for the study of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Data open for access
SCAPIS is a resource providing detailed data from 30,154 men and women aged 50–64. The goal is to predict and prevent cardiovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by building this research resource.
All participants have undergone advanced imaging and functional analyses of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. The data were collected at six university hospitals in Sweden (Linköping, Gothenburg, Malmö/Lund, Stockholm, Umeå, and Uppsala).
The significant contribution of SCAPIS is that it combines size with extensive phenotyping.
Researchers based in Sweden or international researchers connected to a research institution in Sweden such as a university or a regional health care authority are welcome to apply for data.
