Mapping the Health Status of the Population of French Polynesia: the MATAEA Project

Plain-language summary

This is a cross-sectional study carried out on a sample of the adult population aged 18 to 69, distributed over the five archipelagos of French Polynesia. Participation in the study involves: agreement to answer a questionnaire to collect information on socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits and medical history; physical measurements (height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure and skin pigmentation); and agreement to take biological samples (blood, saliva and stool) for biological, genetic and microbiological analyses. The aim of the study is to assess the current health status of the population of French Polynesia and to evaluate the influence of contextual risk factors (lifestyle, place of residence, history of infection) and intrinsic susceptibility factors (genetics, age, gender, microbiota) in relation to non-communicable and infectious diseases.
