目的：波美拉尼亚健康研究（SHIP）的原因是缺乏广泛的健康指标的流行病学研究。此外，在德国，有必要进行考虑到统一后特殊生活状况的研究。SHIP的一个目标是提供广泛的疾病，风险和健康因素的一个定义的区域在前GDR.Methods：样本7008名妇女和男子年龄在20至79岁的东北地区的德国，4900预期参与者的患病率估计。抽样分两步进行：首先，在该地区选择32个社区。第二，在社区内，从按性别和年龄分层的居住登记册中抽取简单的随机样本。资料收集及工具包括四个部分：口腔健康检查、医学检查、健康相关访谈、健康及危险因素相关问卷。口腔健康检查包括牙齿、牙周组织、口腔粘膜、颅颌系统和口腔修复。体检包括测量血压、心电图、超声心动图、颈动脉、甲状腺和肝脏超声检查、神经系统筛查、血液和尿液采样。计算机辅助健康相关访谈包括心血管症状、医疗服务利用率、健康相关行为和社会经济变量。自填问卷包括住房条件、社会网络、工作条件、主观幸福感和德国统一对个人的影响。
Objectives: The reason for the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) is the lack of epidemiological studies with a broad range of health indicators. Furthermore, in Germany there is a need for studies that take into account the particular situation of life after the reunification. One objective of SHIP is to provide prevalence estimates on a broad range of diseases, risk and health factors for a defined region in the former GDR.Methods: A sample of 7008 women and men aged 20 to 79 years in a north-east region of Germany, 4900 expected participants. The sample was drawn in two steps: First, 32 communities in the region were selected. Second, within the communities a simple random sample was drawn from residence registries, stratified by gender and age. The data collection and instruments include four parts: oral health examination, medical examination, health-related interview, and a health- and risk-factor-related questionnaire. The oral health examination includes the teeth, periodontium, oral mucosa, craniomandibular system, and prosthodontics. The medical examination includes blood pressure measurements, electrocardiography, echocardiography, carotid, thyroid and liver ultrasounds, neurological screening, blood and urine sampling. The computer-aided health-related interview includes cardiovascular symptoms, utilisation of medical services, health-related behaviours, and socioeconomic variables. The self-administered questionnaire comprises housing conditions, social network, work conditions, subjective well-being and individual consequences from the German reunification.
