Abstract

The Swedish Twin Registry was first established in the late 1950s. Today it includes more than 170,000 twins--in principle, all twins born in Sweden since 1886. In this article we describe some ongoing and recently completed projects based on the registry. In particular, we describe recent efforts to screen all twins born between 1959 and 1985, and young twin pairs when they turn 9 and 12 years of age. For these studies, we present initial frequencies of common conditions and exposures.

摘要

瑞典双胞胎登记处始建于20世纪50年代末。如今，它涵盖了超过170,000对双胞胎——原则上，包括自1886年以来在瑞典出生的所有双胞胎。在本文中，我们描述了一些基于该登记处正在进行和最近完成的项目。特别是，我们描述了最近对1959年至1985年出生的所有双胞胎以及双胞胎在9岁和12岁时进行筛查的工作。对于这些研究，我们呈现了常见病症和暴露因素的初始频率。
