HUNT Surveys

The Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT) is a large collection of health data and blood samples collected in the geographical region of Nord-Trøndelag, Norway.

The purpose of The HUNT Study is to provide a solid basis for research into population health on a wide variety of conditions and life style factors, and ranging over research fields from social epidemiology to genetic research.

Data and samples are obtained in three waves of data gathering: 1984-1986, 1995-1997 and 2006-2008. A new wave of data gathering will start in 2017.

The possibility to combine HUNT data with other Norwegian registries, e.g. on causes of death, cancer incidence or the use of prescription drugs, offers a expansive range of possibilities for research on population health with many different research questions.
