The CHRIS study is made possible thanks to the precious contribution of the citizens who voluntarily decided to join the project. The participants involved are people living in the Vinschgau region, in particular in the municipalities of Castelbello/Ciardes, Curon, Glorenza, Laces, Lasa, Malles, Martello, Prato allo Stelvio, Senales, Silandro, Sluderno, Stelvio and Tubre. From 2011 to 2018 during the first phase of CHRIS (referred to as the baseline phase),** 13,393** inhabitants of the middle and upper Vinschgau participated in the study and thanks to their participation the researchers collected data and samples. Like all population studies, CHRIS involves monitoring the health of the participants over time. Indeed, in 2019 the second phase (follow-up phase) started: the measurements that will be conducted are similar to those carried out during the first phase, with some variations and additional surveys in order to more accurately monitor health in the cardiovascular cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological and during aging.
