Summary

The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition in Norfolk is a population based prospective study of approximately 25,000 men and women resident in Norfolk United Kingdom. They were aged 39-79 years when first recruited from general practice age sex registers at baseline assessment 1993-1997. While part of a ten country half million participant European collaboration originally aimed to investigate diet and other lifestyle determinants of cancer, the objectives of the Norfolk cohort from inception were expanded to encompass the trajectory of health, ill health and mortality in a population over time and to examine the biological and lifestyle determinants of health and chronic disease.
