Framingham Third Generation Study

The Framingham Third Generation Study is a long-term research program that began in Framingham, Massachusetts, aiming to identify risk factors for heart disease and other health issues. Launched in 2002, it focuses on the grandchildren of the original Framingham Heart Study participants. By examining lifestyle, genetics, and environmental influences, researchers hope to understand how these factors contribute to cardiovascular health. The findings from this study enhance our knowledge of disease prevention and inform public health strategies, ultimately promoting healthier lives across generations.
