Sample UID: SA004220I

Sample Description:This sample consists of Greenlandic Inuit (64 males and 190 females) defined as being born and having grandparents born in Greenland. This sample is part of the fertility cross-sectional study (INUENDO) conducted on Greenlandic and European populations. The participants were from the following districts:214 from west (Sisimiut and nuuk);27 from East (Tasiilaq); 7 from South (Narsaq, Nanortalik, Qaqortog) and 6 from midwesr (Assiat,Upernavik). The sampling period was from 2000-2004.
