Concord Hormones and Males Ageing (CHAMP) Project

CHAMP is a multidisciplinary epidemiological study designed to provide a wide range of new information about the health of older men. Primary hypotheses concern the role of reproductive hormones in the aetiology of osteoporosis, muscle weakness, urinary symptoms and dementia. The aim is to recruit over 2,000 men aged 70 years and over and re-examine them at two year intervals. CHAMP provides a wealth of research opportunities in basic science, clinical medicine, epidemiology and psychosocial aspects of ageing. The study is funded by a 5-year NHMRC Project Grant.
