UK Biobank for Dementia Research 500,000 participants; baseline assessments 2005-8 Web-based questionnaires for additional exposures and outcomes (cognition, mental health, occupation..) Multimodal imaging in 100,000 - brain, cardiac and body fat MRI; bone & joint DEXA; 3D carotid ultrasound Repeat Neuroimaging, cognition and sampling in 20,000 Genotyping of all participants (820,000 SNPs) Connectivity to EMRs for mental health
