Brief summary (registry, in English)
Mauritius is located in the southern Indian Ocean with a population of 1.3 million in 2023. Mauritius is a multiethnic nation with 68% South Asian, 27% African (Creole), 3% Chinese and 2% Franco Mauritians. Seven population-based cross-sectional surveys using standardised protocols were conducted between 1987 and 2021). The participation rate has been over 85% in each survey. At each survey, participants were interviewed about living conditions, lifestyle and health, and anthropometry and blood pressure were measured. Biochemistry including lipids and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were performed Electrocardiograms (ECG) were recorded in participants aged 35 years and older. Previous participants were followed up in 2007 and 92% were successfully traced. Studies with identical methodology have been performed on the neighbouring island Rodrigues where the majority of the population are Creoles.

Who the study is looking for
- In 2004, a new study was performed, with similar methodology. In 2009, nine index clusters were chosen with one randomly selected from each of the nine districts in Mauritius. Then, two neighbouring clusters were chosen surrounding the index cluster to form a "super cluster." From this super cluster, one in three households was randomly selected and one adult per household was invited to participate.5 The same methodology was used in 2015 and in 2021 with new randomly chosen clusters forming "super cluster" as in 2009. In addition, a random sample from the 1998 survey was invited for a resurvey in 2015.
- Participation rate has been over 85% in each survey. No sampling weights were used.
- Same methodology was used in Rodrigues.
