The number of cases on Covid-19 who tested positive in public does not say anything about how many people in a particular region actually carry the virus (how high the undisclosed number of this disease is). The epidemiological population sample of the LEAD cohort comprises > 11,000 subjects aged 6-80 years, who were included in Vienna according to age, gender and place of residence. This population sample is therefore well suited to systematically examine the prevalence of Covid-19 infections with regard to the number of unreported cases in all age groups. Since more than 1500 individual parameters were measured in the participants of the LEAD study, conclusions can also be drawn on socioeconomics, lifestyle factors and possible risk profiles (age, gender, comorbidity, smoking behavior, etc.) in the case of positive test persons. The volunteers are tested in a university reference laboratory.
