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

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.
