The Whitehall II study was set up by Professor Sir Michael Marmot to investigate the importance of social class, psychosocial factors and life style as determinants of disease by following a cohort of 10,308 men and women. The study began by looking at the health of working people.

Looking towards the future, the study seeks to answer questions about how previous and current circumstances affect health and quality of life in an ageing cohort. The study is currently funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC), British Heart Foundation (BHF), the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI; USA) and the National Institute of Ageing (NIA; USA).
