JHS代表了社区动脉粥样硬化风险(ARIC)研究的杰克逊·菲尔德中心的扩展，以扩大非裔美国人人口的数据收集，并增加非裔美国人人口和科学家对生物医学研究和专业的接触和参与。共有15,792人接受了ARIC的初步检查，其中3,732人在杰克逊网站注册。当JHS开始时，它邀请了所有以前杰克逊ARIC的参与者，他们大约59岁到78岁，以及来自更大杰克逊地理区域的年轻和年长的非裔美国居民，参与新的队列研究。由于JHS与ARIC共享队列成员，这两项研究通过从JHS协调中心分包给北卡罗来纳大学ARIC协调中心，在数据分析和两个队列成员的事件验证方面相互合作。

The JHS represents an expansion of the Jackson Field Center of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, to broaden data collection in an African American population and to increase access to and the participation of African American populations and scientists in biomedical research and professions. A total of 15,792 individuals were initially examined for ARIC, of which 3,732 were enrolled at the Jackson site. When the JHS began, it invited all previous Jackson ARIC participants, who were approximately 59 to 78 years of age, along with younger and older African American residents from a larger Jackson geographic area, to participate in the new cohort study. Due to JHS¿ shared cohort membership with ARIC, the two studies cooperate with each other in data analysis and on events validation for members of the two cohorts through a subcontract from the JHS Coordinating Center to the ARIC Coordinating Center at the University of North Carolina.
