Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
MARK-AGE is a recently completed European population study, where bioanalytical and anthropometric data were collected from human subjects at a large scale. To facilitate data analysis and mathematical modelling, an extended database had to be constructed, integrating the data sources that were part of the project. This step involved checking, transformation and documentation of data. The success of downstream analysis mainly depends on the preparation and quality of the integrated data. Here, we present the pre-processing steps applied to the MARK-AGE data to ensure high quality and reliability in the MARK-AGE Extended Database. Various kinds of obstacles that arose during the project are highlighted and solutions are presented. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
