Questionnaire and fecal sampling
The participants will be mailed a fecal collection kit and a 20-page health questionnaire. This questionnaire will include the similar questions concerning health, lifestyles, and diet as in 2002.
Health examination
This examination will include measurements for anthropometrics, cognition (MoCA, Stroop, DSST), and blood pressure. The participants will undergo blood draw for laboratory analyses of CMD risk factors, such as blood lipids, glucose metabolism (fasting glucose, HbA1c, and fasting insulin), liver enzymes (GGT, ALT, and AST), inflammation (hs-CRP), and cardiac markers (proBNP and hs-TnI). We will perform ultrasound imaging for hepatic fibrosis.
