ABSTRACT:

Abstract

Objectives

The impact of non-participation due to psychiatric illness on study outcomes in general population studies is insufficiently investigated. Here, we investigate the mental health bias in a population study and the potential impact on estimates of cardiovascular morbidity and overall survival.

Design

Data were retrieved from nationwide registries.

Setting

The Danish General Suburban Population Study (GESUS), a cross-sectional community study conducted in Naestved Municipality, Denmark, from 2010 to 2013.

Participants

49 707 subjects invited to participate in GESUS.

Main outcome measures

Factors related to non-participation were examined using multivariable logistic regression and time-to-event data using Cox proportional hazards
