To date, the ARIC study has published over 1,000 peer-reviewed journal articles in diverse areas of clinical and population research. Data from the ARIC study have become an important resource for the study of heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. These data have also contributed to clinical practice guidelines and policy statements. ARIC is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov registry under trial identifier NCT00005131.Шаблон:Cn
