500,000 participants
The study includes data from approximately half a million persons
Long-term follow-up
The study participants were followed for up to 27 years
100 AQ links to optimal health benefit
Risk of heart disease, cancer and all-cause death is gradually reduced from 25 AQ upwards, with further benefits levelling off at 100 AQ
