A new Greenlandic Research Database offers vital historical exposure data for health studies. This comprehensive tool supports longitudinal research on changing living conditions in Greenland from 1979 onwards.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Assessing past exposures is crucial for health research in Greenland due to significant environmental and lifestyle changes.
  • Existing data sources were insufficient for comprehensive longitudinal population-based health studies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a comprehensive, longitudinal, population-based research tool for health studies in Greenland.
  • To consolidate diverse data sources, including registers, studies, and biological samples, for research purposes.

Main Methods:

  • Creation of 'The Greenlandic Research Database' by the Department of Epidemiology Research.
  • Integration of data from national registers, longitudinal studies, cross-sectional studies, and human biological samples.
  • Data collection spans from 1979 to the present day.
