re-examined for the 2011-2013 time period (please see Table
A.15-1). Re-examination of the Original Cohort will continue. The
Offspring and the Omni Group 1 Cohorts will also be re-examined
during this cycle; the Generation Three Cohort will not be
re-examined. CT examinations of the Offspring Cohort will not occur
during this period. Further, morbidity and mortality (surveillance)
on the three Framingham Cohorts as well as the two Omni Cohorts

Work.
