Twins UK
TwinsUK is the UK’s largest adult twin registry and the most clinically detailed in the world.
The cohort was set up in 1992 to investigate the incidence of osteoporosis and other rheumatologic diseases in several hundred monozygotic (identical) twins. We now have over 15,000 identical and non-identical twins from across the UK, with ages between eighteen and one hundred and our research has expanded to include multiple diseases and conditions.
Covid-19 Longitudinal Health and Wellbeing National Core Study
The National Core Studies were established by Sir Patrick Vallance in October 2020 as part of the UK’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Six NCS were created focussing on key areas in which the UK needed to rapidly increase research scale to respond to the near term strategic, policy and operational needs.
The UKRI funded Longitudinal Health and Wellbeing National Core Study aims to understand the health, social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic by uniting established population cohorts and national anonymised electronic health records to inform policy.
