In 1974, a primary preventive project started at the Medical Clinic, Umas (now Skåne University Hospital, Malmö), under the direction of Professor Bertil Hood. Malmö Preventive Project is a cohort study that in 1974 invited all men from specific birth cohorts (1921-1949) and some years later began to invite women (born 1926-1949). The purpose was to map cardiovascular risk factors and alcohol abus

MPP is followed up annually against the National Swedish Cancer Register, the Regional Tumor Register in Lund, the Swedish Causes of Death Register, Statistics Sweden's Population Register to identify emigrants, the National Patient Register and local and national registers for stroke and heart attack. Every year we prepare endpoint reports for cancer and causes of death, cardiovascular events and

The Malmö Offspring Study is the first population study in Sweden that makes it possible to follow major endemic diseases over several generations. The focus is, but not limited to, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia and cancer. Despite medical progress, everything points to the fact that endemic diseases will remain one of our greatest challenges in the future. By following trial p

The research conducted with the help of the Malmö cohorts has generated significant results over the years. Malmö Preventive Medicine has been running since 1974, Malmö Cost Cancer since 1991 and Malmö Offspring Study since 2013. In the last 12 years, 2012-2024, approx. 1200 scientific articles have been published where data from the Malmö cohorts have been used. Here we list the scientific public

Those who participate in the MOS study must undergo a number of examinations and make a diet registration. Information regarding this can be found in the Diet Registration Guide and the Portion Guide. Links to these can be found in the left menu. There is also a link to contact details and questions about diet registration. In the right-hand menu there is a link to a short film about how the diet

All researchers are welcome to apply for the samples of data and biological material. Our policy is that MDC/MPP should be considered an open resource. Since 2006, we have received more than 1,300 applications. Less than 25 have been rejected. Of these, several have been too broad and not specific enough, have overlapped with other projects, or touched on method development where prospectively col

Initially, MDC was financed by the Cancer Foundation and MPP by the healthcare system in Malmö. Until 2005, we were able to provide samples and data extractions free of charge. Today, however, our operations must be revenue-financed.Our biggest expense is personnel costs. We have a full-time data manager and a full-time project coordinator. In case of large extractions, we also have to take help f

In the project I am involved with we are trying to simulate breast and breast cancer tumours. The simulations can assist and support clinical research, by predicting treatment plans and diagnostic tools in breast cancer screening. In addition, we try to assess the growth rate of tumours in women in Sweden, in order to identify which tumours that are less aggressive and where unnecessary interventi

The idea in this project is that malignant tumours can be distinguished from benign lesions and normal tissue using "mechanical imaging". Mechanical imaging of the breast is done by measuring the stress at the breast surface as the breast is compressed. Malignant tumours are generally stiffer than normal, benign breast tissue and will result in a higher stress at the breast surface. Knowing which

My research embraces a broad range of research projects for the development of person-centered radiography in cancer screening and for the standardization of diagnostic methods in medical imaging. The projects focus on the individual's perspective in health care and covers areas as follows: 1) evaluation of patient-reported outcomes in cancer screening, 2) development and validation of person-cent

In a pioneering project, we are using pressure sensors to investigate and improve breast imaging. Mechanical imaging can be described as using pressure sensors to investigate the surface pressure of a compressed object. From the surface pressure, or stress, the local stiffness can be estimated. This is both useful and convenient in breast imaging: the breast is compressed during mammography, and b

With a unique database of images we are investigating the use of artificial intelligence in breast imaging. Progress in Artificial Intelligence – AI – is rapid in many medical fields. In breast imaging, AI has mainly been used to improve CAD – computer assisted detection. Traditional CAD indicates suspicious areas on the mammogram, but is ineffective in screening as excessive marks distract reader
