The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
RESEARCH WITH HEART.
WELCOME! For over 30 years ARIC participants provide healthcare data to inform disease prevention.
Coming Spring 2021, ARIC Visit 9!
We will be contacting you soon about COVID-safe visits.
Visit 8 by phone worked well. While 2021 visits are limited by COVID,
we hope to be able to talk without masks and get back to normal in 2022.
Stay safe and healthy!
ARIC study participants joined the study in 1986-1989 at four sites around the country, including Hagerstown, MD. Participants were age 45-65 years when they joined and approximately 90% of living participants continue to contribute. ARIC research is world-leading and the legacy includes a specimen bank with 2+ Million vials. With continued participation in ARIC, we will describe the full transition from midlife to age 100+ and glean clues for improving the health of future generations.
Jane Hixson, a JHU employee of 50+ years, turned 100 on December 9. Even though COVID prevented a more traditional celebration, Jane’s family, friends and colleagues got creative and planned a parade of vehicles bedecked in balloons and banners to mark this milestone birthday. Even the JHU mascot, Blue Jay, came to wish Jane well! The event also received coverage from the local media captured in images and on video.
