 The Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg (KORA) research platform and the Monitoring Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Disease (MONICA) Augsburg studies were initiated and financed by Helmholtz Zentrum München, German Research Center for Environmental Health, Neuherberg, Germany, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Technology, Berlin, Germany, and by the State of Bavaria. Since 2000, the acquisition of data in acute myocardial infarction patients has been cofinanced by the German Federal Ministry of Health and Social Security, Berlin, Germany, to provide population-based myocardial infarction morbidity and mortality data for the official German Health Reports (http://www.gbe-bund.de).
