• Sampling Procedure
• Systematic sample based on birth date In 1968-1969, a representative sample of 1622 women living in Gothenburg, Sweden, was invited to a free health examination. A total of 1462 women, aged 38, 46, 50, 54, and 60 (90.1%), accepted the invitation and participated in the Prospective Population Study of Women in Gothenburg (PSWG) In 1980-1981 a follow-up examination was conducted (participation rate 78.9%). Two new age groups, aged 26 and 38 in 1980-1981, were recruited, with the purpose of conducting cross-sectional comparisons over time. Also, women born in 1930, who moved to Gothenburg between 1969 and 1980 and belonged to the same date of birth as the original cohort, were invited to the 1980-1981 examination, which implied that 50-, 38- and 26-year-old women examined in 1980-1981 were representative of the female population in Gothenburg in 1980-1981. Follow-up examinations were also conducted in 1992-1993 (participation rate 70.1%), when two of the cohorts were 38 or 50. Further follow-up examinations were made in 2004-2005 and 2009-2010. 1
