ORCADES
(the Orkney Cardiovascular Disease Study) has started!
Researchers from the University of Edinburgh have launched a two-year study aimed at improving treatment for some of Scotland’s most common life-threatening diseases; heart disease, stroke, diabetes as well as obesity. The study is looking to recruit over 1,000 adults from Orkney.
Why Orkney?
The Orkney islands have been chosen for the project because people living there are isolated geographically, which means they share a more similar environment: there is less variety in occupations, diet and other factors compared with most other areas of Scotland.
