This is the master list of the Participating Centres and their cohorts in the MORGAM Project. The list includes all centres, RUa and cohorts which have been assigned a MPC, RU or cohort code, regardless of whether the centres have a full MPC status. The list is updated when new centres and cohorts join the study. On the other hand, centres and cohorts, which have failed to provide the data or have resigned the study have not been removed from the list.

Country MPC RUA RU Cohort MONICA status DNA

1 Cohort 21 of RU 01 of MPC 19 represents a re-examination of Cohort 01.
2 Cohort 24 of RU 03 of MPC 31 represents a re-examination of Cohorts 21 and 22.
3
Cohort 25 of RU 03 of MPC 31 was withdrawn from MORGAM in July 2004. The MPS told that it is difficult to obtain reliable data for the RU.
4 Cohort 03 of RU 05 of MPC 20: up to February 2005 the Cohort code was 21.
5 Cohort 01 of RUs 02 and 03 of MPC 37: up to February 2005 the Cohort code was 21.
6 Before a reorganization of the Italian Centres in May 2005, Rome, Naples, Friuli and Brianza belonged to one MPC called Progetto CUORE, but the current three MPC codes were already in use. In the reorganization, the current three MPCs were formed and Naples (RU 04 of MPC 31) was withdrawn from MORGAM. MPC 57 was withdrawn from MORGAM genetic study in November 2006.


Definitions of columns:
 
RUA
This column gives typical compositions of RUAs (Reporting Unit Aggregates, combination of RUs), which may be used for data analyses.
Cohort
Cohorts are defined by baseline surveys in the RUs. If several surveys, for example 5 or 10 years apart, were carried out in the same RU, the surveys will define separate Cohorts.
MONICA status
Many of the baseline surveys were carried out as part of the WHO MONICA Project, and therefore took part in the MONICA standardization and quality assessment. Many others used the MONICA methodology in their surveys. The categories of the MONICA Status are:
CM = Complete MONICA. The baseline survey were carried out as part of the WHO MONICA Project.
SM = Semi-MONICA. Not CM, but the baseline data were collected using the MONICA methods.
NM = Non-MONICA.
DNA
This column specifies whether or not DNA are available for the members of the cohort.
