The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
RESEARCH WITH HEART.
WELCOME! For over 38 years ARIC participants have provided healthcare data to inform disease prevention.
ARIC Visit 11 began in March 2024 and will continue into Summer 2025!
ARIC study participants joined the study in 1986-1989 at four sites around the country, including Hagerstown, MD. Participants were aged 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.
