The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
RESEARCH WITH HEART.
WELCOME! For over 30 years ARIC participants provide healthcare data to inform disease prevention.
Please join us now to complete your 30 year visit!
The full visit includes an echocardiogram at 1100 Dual Highway.
Transportation, abbreviated and home visits are available as well.
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.
