瑞典双胞胎登记处最初成立于20世纪50年代末。今天，它包括超过17万对双胞胎-原则上所有自1886年以来在瑞典出生的双胞胎。在本文中，我们描述了一些正在进行的和最近完成的基于注册表的项目。特别是，我们描述了最近对1959年至1985年出生的所有双胞胎以及9岁至12岁的年轻双胞胎进行筛查的努力。对于这些研究，我们提出了常见条件和暴露的初始频率。
The Swedish Twin Registry was first established in the late 1950s. Today it includes more than 170,000 twins - in principle all twins born in Sweden since 1886. In this article we describe some ongoing and recently completed projects based on the registry. In particular, we describe recent efforts to screen all twins born between 1959 and 1985, and young twin pairs when they turn 9 and 12 years of age. For these studies, we present initial frequencies of common conditions and exposures.
