Pioneer Project
The Pioneer Project
is TWU’s state-funded initiative to gather data that
will lead to improved health promotion and chronic disease
prevention for women. The Pioneer Project provides comprehensive
medical, physiological, psychological, socioeconomic, and
nutritional information gathered from 315 (phase 1), 144
(phase 2), and 114 (phase 3) healthy
women, ages 19-60.
Subjects enrolled
in the Pioneer Project have completed a battery of questionnaires
to document their medical, family, and reproductive histories,
as well as their dietary habits, physical activity, health
conceptions, thoughts and feelings, personal habits, and lifestyle.
Physical measurements include anthropomorphic characteristics,
cardiovascular and pulmonary functioning, bone density, body
composition, physical performance, spinal curvature, and fasting
serum values.
The Pioneer Project
data series makes possible scientific studies that link women's
medical, behavioral, and nutritional histories with current
measures of their health status.
