A 20 year, 20,000 person, open longitudinal epidemiological study of a cohort town. GAZEL was not constructed to answer a specific question rather it was designed to help analyze a wide range of scientific problems and is accessible to the community of researchers specializing in epidemiology. Translation is not available for all pages. The GAZEL cohort, set up in 1989 by Inserm Unit 88 (subsequently Unit 687), in cooperation with several departments of ��lectricit�� de France-Gaz de France (EDF-GDF), was a public utility firm in France involved in production, transmission and distribution of energy. GAZEL initially included 20 624 volunteers working at EDF-GDF (15 010 men and 5614 women), aged from 35 to 50 years. In accordance with its purpose as a scientific research platform, the GAZEL cohort is permanently open to epidemiologic research teams. Today, more than 50 projects on very diversified themes have been set up in GAZEL by some 20 teams, French, belonging to different bodies, and foreign (Germany, Belgium, Canada, Great Britain, Sweden, Finland, and USA).
