The registry is used to connect researchers to volunteers.[2][3][4] It is the largest registry of twin adults in the UK.[5] As of 2013, it hosted information on more than 13,000 volunteer twins, with approximately 50% having completed a baseline comprehensive assessment and more than 70% having completed a detailed health questionnaire. As of 2013, the cohort was predominantly female (83%) and middle-aged or older, with about an equal division of monozygotic and dizygotic twins.[1] See also
