 3.7 Queries from the Twin Project
 =================================
 
 At Analytikerna and Lentus, we have been doing the systems and field
 work for a big research project. This project is a collaboration
 between the Institute of Environmental Medicine at Karolinska
 Institutet Stockholm and the Section on Clinical Research in Aging and
 Psychology at the University of Southern California.
 
 The project involves a screening part where all twins in Sweden older
 than 65 years are interviewed by telephone. Twins who meet certain
 criteria are passed on to the next stage. In this latter stage, twins
 who want to participate are visited by a doctor/nurse team. Some of the
 examinations include physical and neuropsychological examination,
 laboratory testing, neuroimaging, psychological status assessment, and
 family history collection. In addition, data are collected on medical
 and environmental risk factors.
 
 More information about Twin studies can be found at:

 The latter part of the project is administered with a Web interface
 written using Perl and MySQL.
 
 Each night all data from the interviews is moved into a MySQL database.
