All participants gave written informed consent at baseline and agreed to follow-up over time. People who were not able to understand the invitation letter and submit a urine sample in the screening phase (due to cognitive impairment or other reasons) were considered incapable of giving informed consent and excluded. People who did not understand questions or instructions at follow-up were also considered incapable in regard to informed consent and consequently excluded from further participation.
