Harmonization Study Design
A harmonised dataset can be created for each wave and population according to the ATHLOS DataSchema and the harmonisation codes located on Github:
DataSchema: https://athlos.pssjd.org/ws/file-dl/network/athlos/DataSchema_ATHLOS.xlsx
Harmonisation codes: https://github.com/athlosproject/athlos-project.github.io/tree/master/ATTICA
Please contact us if anyone is interested in using the harmonised data from the ATTICA study via the ATHLOS DataSchema.
ATTICA population
Participants to the ATTICA study were all residing in the greater metropolitan Athens area (including 78% urban and 22% rural regions) at recruitment.
