The OLIN-studies - The OLIN studies

The Obstructive Lung Disease in Northern Sweden (OLIN) Studies, is a research program ongoing since 1985. It includes descriptive, analytic and interventional epidemiologic research on asthma, allergy, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The infrastructure contains data from more than 50,000 subjects from Norrbotten in ages 7-91 years. The overall aim includes identifying risk factors for the conditions in order to create possibilities for prevention. The studies are multidisciplinary and cover traditional and molecular epidemiology and clinical research as well as research about cellular mechanisms, proteomics and genetics. The aim of the current project is managing and care of the large and growing infrastructure. New data are collected continuously as most studies are of prospective nature. Purpose: To identify risk factors for asthma, allergy, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in order to create possibilities for prevention.
