    Cohort Details

    Description

    Within Healthy Life in an Urban Setting (HELIUS) Health Study we investigate a number of common diseases such as cardiovascular diseases (including diabetes), mental disorders and infectious diseases. HELIUS is the first large-scale longitudinal study about ethnic diversity in health and health care in the Netherlands. People of Surinamese, Ghanaian, Turkish, Moroccan and Dutch descent participate in HELIUS. Our goal is to understand why some groups of people are healthier than others and how this can be improved. We do this by examining health data of people with different backgrounds. With the results of our research we provide advice to organisations that develop new policies for better health for all.

    HELIUS has completed two waves of data collection and the third wave is scheduled to start in October 2026.
