UK Biobank is a long-term prospective biobank study in the United Kingdom (UK) that houses the de-identified biological samples and health-related data of half a million people. The volunteer participants aged 40–69 were recruited between 2006 and 2010 from across Great Britain and consented both to share their health data and to be followed for at least 30 years thereafter, with the aim to enable scientific discoveries into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease. - Source: Wikipedia
