The European Crohn's and Colitis Organization's (ECCO) Epidemiology Committee Study, or EpiCom, is a prospective population-based inception cohort study of individuals receiving a diagnosis of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) within specifically defined catchment areas served by member collection sites. Crohn's and ulcerative colitis diagnoses are based on the Copenhagen Diagnostic Criteria, while cases that did not fully meet the criteria but necessitated treatment were included as unclassified IBD. The total members of the 2010 EpiCom cohort number 1,682 and largely include patients at least 15 years of age, though pediatric sites include patients aged less than 15 years.
EpiCom in Denmark is represented by the Amager, Funen, Herlev, Viborg, Aarhus, and the Faroe Islands sites.

Sweden - Stockholm Public Health Survey 2010
Nav
- Individual
- Longitudinal
The Stockholm Public Health Survey (now known as Health Stockholm) was designed to collect information on the health of the population in Stockholm County. Beginning in 2002-2003, the Stockholm Public Health Surveys were conducted every four years; each year, the samples from previous rounds were surveyed along with a new cross-sectional sample. Together, the cohorts from each survey are known as the Stockholm Public Health Cohort (SPHC).
Each cross-sectional cohort sample was selected from the Swedish Total Population Register; in 2010, the sample included 30,700 participants aged 18 to 84. Self-reported data were collected through postal and web-based questionnaires, covering topics such as health status, height and weight, tobacco and alcohol use, physical activity, employment, and mental health. In addition to self-reported data, the SPHC also collected information through regional and national health and population registers based on participants' national registration numbers.

The Framingham Heart Study (FHS) has been in existence since 1948. Initially, the longitudinal project included 5,209 men and women, ages 30-62, from the town of Framingham, Massachusetts. Participants return every two years for a medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. In 1971, the study enrolled 5,124 of the original participants' adult children and their spouses. In 1994, the Omni cohort, 506 men and women of African-American, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, Pacific Islander and Native American descent, was enrolled. Since 2002, a third generation, second Omni group, and New Offspring Spouse cohort have been added, and as the study continues, new cohorts are enrolled. The study includes demographic information, risk factors, medical history, and mental and physical status. The examinations include blood tests, urine tests, ECGs, spirometry, tonometry, echocardiograms, and others. The results are later analyzed for patterns related to CVD development.
