Comparison of the prevalence of all diagnosed diseases among Estonian Biobank participants against the general population

2026-02-06

Abstract excerpt

Characterizing study sample representativeness is critical for the validity of biobank-derived findings, yet selection biases are rarely quantified across the full clinical spectrum. Here we systematically evaluate the Estonian Biobank (EstBB) - comprising ∼20% of the adult population - by comparing two recruitment waves against a 30% national reference dataset (Est-Health-30).
