-Participants underwent ultra-low-dose CT scanning of lungs and heart with third-generation dual-source CT (SOMATOM Force, Siemens). Scanning was performed during suspended inspiration,​ according to the standard vendor recommended protocol, with tube current adjusted automatically by the system for body size based on the scout images. The scout images were followed by a CT scan of the lungs in inspiration,​ and, in a subset of 100 participants per 5-year age/gender category, also in expiration. The latter was performed to determine normal values for expiratory lung density.\\ ​ 
-To obtain a CT scan of the heart at the moment that the movement of the coronary arteries is the lowest, participants were fitted with ECG electrodes by CT personnel. The software of the CT scanner decided what the best moment is during a regular heartbeat to acquire the CT data of the heart, and subsequently the CT scan of heart was obtained.\\ 
-The primary end-point was the establishment of reference values of: 
-  * lung density 
-  * bronchial wall thickness 
-  * vascular calcification 
-  * lung nodules ​ 
  
-Participants with a lung nodule ​between ​100-300 mm3 (~5,4% of all scanned participants) were invited for a repeat CT scan after 3-4 months for scientific purposes, to evaluate natural evolution of lung nodules in the general population. +The pGxP study ran between ​April and July 2024.\\  
- +  * Firstn=~4300 selected participants received an invitation to fill in a baseline PGxP questionnaire abou their healthmedication usedigital skillsattitude toward DNA research and PGx passportsParticipants were informed that if they filled ​in the questionnaire,​ they would be offered access to their personal PGxP via smartphone app (if they were interested).\\ 
-===== Subcohort ===== +  * Of the n=~1150 respondents to the baseline PGxP questionnairen=~1000 participants also gave permission to upload their personal pharmacogenetic ​characteristics ​into the 'Gen en Geneesmiddel'​ app that they could then install and access on their smartohone.\\ 
- +  * A total of n=~620 participants completed all the steps and received their personal information ​in the app.\\ 
-Imalife ran from 2017 to 2022. The assessments were performed in ~12.000 Lifelines [[cohort|participants]] of 45+ years who completed a [[pulmonary function test]].\\ +  * As a final stepall ~1150 respondents to the baseline PGxP questionnaire received ​follow-up questionnaire containing questions on their decision-making processopinion ​on the shared information and on the appand the actual use of the PGxP (if applicable).
-To ensure sufficient participants in the older age groups, selection criteria were later adjusted to 60+ and, in the final phase, 75+.    +
