| Cohort Name | Southall And Brent REvisited |
| Cohort Acronym | SABRE |
| Study Overview | The Southall And Brent REvisited Study (SABRE) is the largest tri-ethnic population-based cohort in the UK and investigates the causes of diabetes and disorders of the heart and circulation across ethnicities. SABRE participants were aged 40-69 when first studied in 1988. In 2008 a comprehensive combined morbidity and mortality follow up was carried out, together with non-invasive clinical measurements. SABRE Visit 3 (25 year follow-up visit) collects data on participants and their partners. Changes in the health of the heart and circulation are measured, with focus on blood vessels of the brain, as well as diabetes. More recently, the aims have increased to include:: 1.How large are ethnic /sex differences in cardiac function, cognitive function and hippocampal volumes in older age? 2. To what extent do cardiac function, cognitive function and hippocampal volumes change over a 5 year period in each ethnic group? 3. Which risk factors measured in mid-life and in early old age are most strongly associated with current cardiac and cognitive function and hippocampal volumes and with 5 year changes in these parameters? Can these risk factors explain ethnic differences in cardiac and cognitive function? 4. How large are gender differences in current disorders of cardiac and cognitive function and in their associations with current risk factors? 5. Do ethnic differences in incident cardiometabolic disorders persist into older age? 6. Which risk factors or risk factor profiles measured in mid-life and early old age are most strongly associated with incident cardiometabolic disorders and which best explain ethnic differences in incidence? |
