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
