Furthermore, a questionnaire on lifestyle parameters, BMI, medical history, walking-related pain and self-rated quality of life (EQ-5D).
One year after the screening examination, the participants will receive a questionnaire in order to evaluate the effect from a participant perspective. The cost(-effectiveness) of the screening program will be estimated after 5 years based on prevalence of diseases, response rate, data extraction from nationwide registries and existing evidence of disease prevention.
