The UK Biobank is a large-scale biomedical database and research resource that aims to improve the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of various diseases. It contains health information and biological samples from over 500,000 participants across the United Kingdom, collected since 2006. Researchers use this data to study the links between genetics, lifestyle, and health outcomes. Participants in the UK Biobank have provided detailed information about their health, lifestyle, and environment, along with blood, urine, and saliva samples. This extensive resource supports a wide range of studies, helping scientists understand complex health issues and develop new medical treatments.
