General objective: to investigate various causes or mortality, especially cardiovascular events.

General objective: To describe the natural history of symptomatic hip and knee osteoarthritis and to to identify predictive factors of its consequences in terms of pain, functional incapacity, quality of life and healthcare (medical care, use of healthcare resources and illness cost). Patients for this cohort study are identified during a national prevalence study. Secondary objectives: - to investigate predictive factors for quality of life, changes in quality of life and hip or knee replacement such as: socio-demographic parameters, clinical factors, comorbidities, perceived health parameters at baseline (quality of life, functional capacity), x-rays and biological markers; - to identify factors that influence healthcare usage, social impact and treatment for symptomatic hip and knee osteoarthritis; - to collect and store biological samples (serum bank and DNA bank), x-rays, clinical and perceived health data in order to form a platform for other research projects, such as physiopathological projects on cellular and molecular mechanisms of osteoarthritis and genetic projects. This cohort will benefit from the advantages of the descriptive prevalence study and will allow the recruitment of a general population based representative sample.

The registry carries out a continuous and exhaustive collection of all new cancer diagnoses in the general population living in a given département. It has the twofold objective of monitoring the cancer risk and of conducting research on cancer.
Objectives of the Registry in terms of public health:
- Participate in the epidemiological surveillance of cancers at local and national level under the Francim network by publishing incidence indicators by cancer location, gender, age and year of diagnosis.
- Evaluate primary and secondary prevention initiatives (organized cancer screening), patient treatment and healthcare needs in the general population.
The EPIC-PL undertakes a wide range of projects in liaison with local and national partners. The main themes are: evaluation of treatment practices and research on social inequalities

Only a population based registry provides precise and exhaustive information on cancer incidence in the context of the French healthcare system. It is also necessary for evaluating the effectiveness of prevention and screening programs as well as cancer care streams in the general population - with no selection bias.
