Bogalusa Heart Study

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The ongoing Bogalusa Heart Study is one of the first longitudinal studies to track individual's health outcomes from childhood to adulthood.[1] The study began in 1973, with the objective of investigating the early natural history of cardiovascular disease in a cohort of children and young adults from a biracial, semirural community in Bogalusa, Louisiana.[2][3]
