SPECS is the first adult NCD-focused population cohort in northeastern Iran. SPECS was established because no prior population-based cohort had examined NCDs in northeastern Iran or among the Khorasan ethnic group.

SPECS is intended to capture how regional geography, culture, social conditions, environmental exposure and lifestyle patterns influence disease development.
