Description of the research topic:

Lifestyle, prevention and risk of acute pancreatitis (AP). The LIFESPAN[1] study is a prospective, multicentre, observational, case-control study examining the association between socioeconomic factors, dietary habits, physical activity, chronic stress, sleep quality and AP. Although there are numerous studies on the most common risk factors for AP, there are only a few articles published on the effect of lifestyle factors. This insufficient information is even more problematic since (1) there is no specific treatment for the disease, therefore prevention would be very important; and (2) 20% of all AP is recurrent so lifestyle suggestions decreasing the risk of an additional attack could be highly efficient.
The data collection is based on questionnaires and medical histories. Relevant data will be prospectively collected from patients and controls. Patients enrolled into the case group have suffered from AP; the control group subjects must not have AP in their medical history.
