In 2022 Genome-wide genotyping had been conducted for more than 100,000 participants using custom-designed Axiom® arrays. It collected questionnaire and physical data and blood samples on 510,000 men and women aged between 30 and 79 from 10 regions in China between 2004-2008 with the aim of investigating chronic diseases (e.g. heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and cancer).
