KORA（Cooperative Health Research in the Region Augsburg）是一个区域性研究平台，在流行病学、卫生经济学和卫生保健研究领域进行基于人口的调查和后续研究。KORA成立于1996年，旨在继续和扩大奥格斯堡的MONICA项目，包括急性心肌梗死（AMI）登记。现有的研究参与者库允许进行队列研究、病例对照研究和家族研究。我们介绍了KORA的基础设施，数据管理和质量控制方面，以及合作研究的概念。MONICA/KORA队列越来越多地用于各种研究主题，最近重点是遗传流行病学，表明这一概念的吸引力。
KORA (Cooperative Health Research in the Region Augsburg) is a regional research platform for population-based surveys and subsequent follow-up studies in the fields of epidemiology, health economics, and health care research. KORA was established in 1996 to continue and expand the MONICA project in Augsburg, including the Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Registry. The available pool of study participants allows for cohort, case-control and family studies. We present the KORA infrastructure, aspects of data management and quality control, and the concept of cooperative research. The increasing use of the MONICA/KORA cohorts for a variety of research topics, with a recent focus on genetic epidemiology, indicates the attractiveness of this concept.
