NCT ID NCT03285230

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This long-running study follows nearly 100,000 French women, mostly teachers, since 1990 to understand what factors influence their risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and other major illnesses. Participants fill out questionnaires every few years about their lifestyle, medical history, and health changes. Researchers also collected blood and saliva samples from many participants to study biological markers. The goal is to uncover patterns that could help prevent disease in women as they age.
