Cohort Profile : The Stockholm Diabetes Prevention Programme (SDPP)

• The Stockholm Diabetes Prevention Programme (SDPP) was established in the mid-1990s as a baseline for a community-based intervention aimed at primary prevention of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The intervention was found to be ineffective, but the cohort continues to contribute to our understanding of the pathogenesis of T2D and cardiometabolic risk factors.The cohort comprises 15 070 men and 19 416 women, born between 1938 and 1961, resident in five municipalities in Stockholm County, Sweden, at baseline. A sub-cohort answered a screening survey (10 236 men and 16 481 women), and a sub-cohort of those participated in a clinical examination (3128 men and 4821 women) at baseline (clinical cohort).The clinical cohort has been followed up after 10 years, when 2383 men and 3329 women participated, and after 20 years, when 1752 men and 2545 women participated.Socioeconomic, demographic and health-related register information was collected for all. The screening survey contains self-reported information on own and familial T2D. For the clinical cohort, we conducted oral glucose tolerance tests, drew blood and took blood pressures and anthropometric measurements. The participants also filled in questionnaires on lifestyle and psychosocial conditions.Data are available on request after ethical approval; information is available on the study webpage [Stockholm-Diabetes-Prevention-Programme-(SDPP)(regionstockholm.se)].
