Kultur og HUNT

Helseundersøkelsen i Trøndelag (HUNT) er en av verdens største befolkningsbaserte helseundersøkelser som omfatter helseopplysninger og biologisk materiale fra innbyggerne i Trøndelag. Siden den første innsamlingsrunden i 1984 har 250.000 trøndere deltatt, og i 2027 planlegges å gjennomføre den femte undersøkelsen, HUNT5.
