The China Kadoorie Biobank Study The China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) Study (www.ckbiobank.org) is a uniquely rich and powerful resource for investigating the environmental and genetic determinants of chronic disease. It is a long term prospective cohort study of 513,000 men and women aged 30-79 years recruited from ten geographically diverse urban and rural regions in China. The study aims to investigate the lifestyle, behavioural, environmental and genetic factors contributing to the aetiology of common chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, cancer and respiratory disease. To date, 102,000 CKB participants have been genotyped and imputed into the TopMed/WBBC reference panels, and 10,000 CKB whole genome sequences have been completed. This provides a unique resource for investigating Chinese population history and for conducting genome-wide association studies, including collaboration in large international consortia such as GIANT, DIAMANTE, SpiroMeta, and the International Stroke Genetics Consortium. A wide range of disease endpoints and quantitative phenotypes are available for these analyses. Extensive data on environmental, physiological and lifestyle risk factors were collected at time of recruitment, with periodic resurvey of a subset of participants every 5 years. Participants are actively followed-up through established morbidity and mortality registries, and by linkage to the national health insurance system. To date, ~55,000 deaths and ~0.9M ICD-10-coded hospitalised disease events have been recorded among participants, including 60,000 strokes, 50,000 heart disease, 30,000 cancers and 20,000 cases of diabetes. This comprehensive resource has been complemented with data for a wide range of blood biomarkers including clinical chemistry (20,000 participants), NMR metabolomics (9,000), MS metabolomics (400), proteomics (5,000), and fatty acids (10,000), with additional assays and increased sample sizes in the near future. These extensive multi-dimensional datasets provides rich and detailed information concerning potential disease risk factors. Over the next few decades, the China Kadoorie Biobank will generate many important novel findings about the genetic and non-genetic causes of common chronic diseases both in China and worldwide.
