Environment, Inflammation and Metabolic Diseases Study

This study aims to establish a specialized resource database for metabolic diseases-the Chongqing Environment, Inflammation, and Metabolic Diseases Study (EIMDS). The cohort will include approximately 8,000 community-based individuals who have been followed up for over 5 years, with clinical, biochemical, and endpoint event assessments conducted every two years, along with the collection of blood and urine samples. Based on the EIMDS cohort,this study will explore the risk factors for endocrine and metabolic diseases from a population perspective. Furthermore, by employing technologies such as whole-transcriptome sequencing, proteomics and phosphoproteomics, ATAC-seq, and single-cell sequencing,this study aim to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying endocrine and metabolic diseases and identify potential drug targets.
