The Vorarlberg Health Monitoring & Promotion Programme (VHM&PP)

Anhand der prospektiv dokumentierten Vorarlberger Gesundenuntersuchungen (700.000 Untersuchungen bei ca. 180.000 Personen im Zeitraum 1985-2005), der CINDI Population Surveys und des Frauen + Programmes wurden bereits mehrere epidemiologische Fragestellungen untersucht: Stabilität von Risikofaktoren im Zeitverlauf (Tracking), Prädiktive Bedeutung von kardiovasculären Risikofaktoren, aktuelle Trends bei Risikofaktoren, die Bedeutung des metabolischen Syndroms für Krebserkrankungen, etc.

Die wichtigsten Publikationen (Originalien, Buchbeiträge etc.) und Vorträge ab 1995 sind untenstehend angeführt. Die Forschungsarbeiten werden als Kooperation der folgenden Institutionen durchgeführt:
Arbeitskreis für Vorsorge- und Sozialmedizin (aks), Bregenz, (Programmplanung, Datenerhebung und Datenmanagement),
Department für Medizinische Statistik, Informatik und Gesundheitsökonomie, Medizinische Universität Innsbruck,
Institut für Epidemiologie der Universität Ulm.

Grössere Forschungsvorhaben der letzten Jahre mit Beteiligung des VHM&PP:
Me-Can Project: Metabolic Syndrome and Cancer Project
ESCAPE: European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects
ERFC: Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration
NCD-RisC: Risk Factor Collaboration

Die Kohortenstudie steht derzeit unter der Leitung von Herrn Priv.-Doz. Dr. Emanuel Zitt (emanuel.zitt (at) aks.or.at). Das wissenschaftliche Kernteam bilden Frau Prof. Dr. Gabriele Nagel (gabriele.nagel (at) aks.or.at), Frau Kristin Ganahl MA, Herr Prim a.D.  Dr. Hans Concin, Dr., Herr MMag. Dr. Wolfgang Brozek und  Herr Prof. Mag. Dr. Hanno Ulmer.

Die Gesundenuntersuchungen, CINDI Populations Surveys sowie die weiteren Programme werden in dankenswerter Weise sehr großzügig durch die Vorarlberger Landesregierung unterstützt. http://www.vorarlberg.at/

Großer Dank gilt den Ärzten und Ärztinnen, die die Untersuchungen durchführen!


Weitere Publikationen sind bereits fertiggestellt und bei wissenschaftlichen Zeitschriften eingereicht bzw. befinden sich in der Planungsphase.
