Description:
NORC collected bio measures such as height, weight, hip-waist ratio, and blood pressure among participants. NORC also collected 1,434 blood spots to measure blood sugar (HbA1c), total cholesterol (CHO), and HDL cholesterol. The blood spots were analyzed by and kept at the Department of Laboratory Medicine at the University of Washington (UW). Due to degradation, CHO and HDL were contaminated and no longer of use to the evaluation. These samples will be destroyed no later than at the end of the contract (June 2025).
