EXIMIOUS has just published a new tool as part of its toolbox: the EXIMIOUS Factsheets Tool. This tool features five comprehensive factsheets that present key population groups used to investigate how occupational and environmental exposures contribute to the development of immune-mediated diseases.
Developed by EXIMIOUS researchers on behalf of the project’s 15 partner institutions, the Factsheets Tool is part of the wider EXIMIOUS toolbox. It was designed to offer a clear, accessible overview of the diverse populations studied in the project—essential for exploring links between environmental/occupational factors and immune health.
The newly published factsheets cover the following cohorts:
- DOCX factsheet
- DOCX Generation factsheet
- ENVIRONAGE factsheet
- Lifelines factsheet
- Wasteworker factsheet
These factsheets provide detailed snapshots of each population, outlining their size, relevance to immune-mediated diseases, and the types of data and biological samples collected.
While the primary audience for the EXIMIOUS FACTSHEETS is epidemiologists and clinical researchers interested in reusing the high-quality data generated by the project, the tool is also valuable beyond the scientific community. It offers educational benefits, serving as a useful teaching aid for illustrating different types of cohort studies, and supports stakeholder outreach by making complex population data understandable and transparent.
The populations featured in the tool include General population cohorts, Birth cohorts, Worker cohorts and Patient cohorts affected by immune-mediated diseases.
Each factsheet delivers concise, user-friendly information to support further research, encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration, and raise awareness about the population foundations of immune-related research.
