The Busselton Health Studies group is a research group within the School of Population Health at the University of Western Australia.

 

The group is responsible for managing and maintaining the database of the Busselton Health Studies, including annual mortality followup, periodic hospital morbidity updates, tracing of previous survey participants and improving information on family relationships among survey participants.

 

The group, independently and in collaboration with other Busselton Health Studies researchers, uses the accumulated data to conduct research into:

 

·       the epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases

·       the epidemiology of respiratory diseases

·       mortality and hospital admission rates

·       familial aggregation of chronic diseases and disease risk factors
