工作背景：本文讨论了基线人口统计学、社会经济学、健康变量、随访时间和联系参与者的方法是否预测了欧洲多中心EPIC-PANACEA研究中对生活方式因素和体重的第二次评估邀请的无应答。在1992年至2000年期间招募的来自10个欧洲国家的几个中心的50多万参与者在2-11年后进行了联系，以更新生活方式和体重的数据。合作研究中心之间的随访时间长度以及接近方法不同。无应答者与应答者进行了比较，使用多变量logistic回归分析。结果：第二次评估的总体应答率较高（81.6%）。与邮寄调查相比，参与者通过电话完成问卷的中心获得了更高的答复。在随访时间短的中心，反应也很高。男性参与者的无应答率较高（优势比1.09（置信区间1.07; 1.11），40岁以下（1.96（1.90; 2.02），独居（1.40（1.37; 1.43），受教育程度较低（1.35（1.12; 1.19），健康状况较差（1.33（1.27; 1.39），报告不健康的生活方式，（25，1.08（1.06; 1.10）;尤其是>= 30 kg/m2，1.26（1.23; 1.29））。结论：队列研究可以通过特别关注最不可能应答的亚组和通过使用电话访谈的积极招募策略来增强队列维持。
Background: This paper discusses whether baseline demographic, socio-economic, health variables, length of follow-up and method of contacting the participants predict non-response to the invitation for a second assessment of lifestyle factors and body weight in the European multi-center EPIC-PANACEA study.Methods: Over 500.000 participants from several centers in ten European countries recruited between 1992 and 2000 were contacted 2-11 years later to update data on lifestyle and body weight. Length of follow-up as well as the method of approaching differed between the collaborating study centers. Non-responders were compared with responders using multivariate logistic regression analyses.Results: Overall response for the second assessment was high (81.6%). Compared to postal surveys, centers where the participants completed the questionnaire by phone attained a higher response. Response was also high in centers with a short follow-up period. Non-response was higher in participants who were male (odds ratio 1.09 (confidence interval 1.07; 1.11), aged under 40 years (1.96 (1.90; 2.02), living alone (1.40 (1.37; 1.43), less educated (1.35 (1.12; 1.19), of poorer health (1.33 (1.27; 1.39), reporting an unhealthy lifestyle and who had either a low (25, 1.08 (1.06; 1.10); especially >= 30 kg/m2, 1.26 (1.23; 1.29)).Conclusions: Cohort studies may enhance cohort maintenance by paying particular attention to the subgroups that are most unlikely to respond and by an active recruitment strategy using telephone interviews.
