United Kingdom Biobank

The UK Biobank is a large-scale research project that has collected health, lifestyle, and genetic information from over 500,000 volunteers across the UK. Its goal is to improve understanding of how various factors influence health and disease. Participants provide data through surveys, physical measurements, and blood samples, which researchers then analyze to identify patterns and risk factors. This resource helps scientists develop better ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat illnesses, ultimately contributing to advances in medicine and public health. The UK Biobank is a valuable tool for unlocking insights into human health on a broad scale.
