Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–67 in La Réunion who consent to genetic analysis and participate in the full assessment protocol.
✕Probably not a fit
Individuals who do not participate in genetic analysis or decline some study procedures may not experience direct personal benefit from the research.

What this trial studies
This observational study will recruit 2,000 men and women aged 18–67 in La Réunion over two years to undergo comprehensive clinical assessments. Participants will provide blood, DNA, hair, and fecal samples, complete cognitive tests, and have evaluations of autonomic function, spirometry, pulse wave velocity, and carotid Doppler tracking. Additional data on social factors and genetics will be collected to explore risk factors and prevalence of cardiometabolic and infectious conditions. The study aims to map how microbiota, cognitive function, social inequalities, and genetics relate to disease patterns in this population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could improve understanding of disease prevalence and contributing factors, guiding future prevention and public health strategies for the local population.
How similar studies have gone: Similar population-based assessments have yielded valuable epidemiological insights, though detailed links to microbiota and genetics remain an evolving area.
