The SHEEP (Stockholm HEart EPidemiology) Project

SHEEP is a major epidemiological study on cardiovascular disease and it's biomedical risk factors. It is a case-referent study of the first myocardial infarction in men and women (1500 men and 700 women in the ages 45-70) and the same number of referents. It has been established, along with WOLF (WOrk, Lipids and Fibrinogen) as a collaborative effort with several various occupational health care teams, and regional research departments and institutes, hospital departments of medicine. Both projects are part of an EU collaboration including Tores Theorell, Michael Marmot, Johannes Siegrist, and others.
