Join our research project and get personal feedback on your lifestyle
By taking part, you gain valuable insights into your own lifestyles and support local academic research on health and wellbeing.
Why is this research important?
Central Finland closely reflects the population structure, lifestyles, and disease patterns of Finland as a whole, making it an excellent setting for this research. The region combines a strong culture of physical activity with growing inequalities in health, including rising rates of obesity, musculoskeletal disorders, and challenges in mental wellbeing.
This study brings together biobank samples with comprehensive data on lifestyle and environment. It aims to identify new ways to prevent disease and promote health and wellbeing.
What will you gain as a participant?
By participating, you will:
-
receive personalised feedback on your lifestyles
-
see how your habits compare with national recommendations
-
support research that helps improve health promotion and disease prevention
The study aims to include participants of all ages from Central Finland. It is especially important to recruit young adults. University staff and students are also welcome to participate.
