ULB Interdisciplinary Research Institute for Sports
U-IRIS is intended to bring together research skills existing at ULB in the fields of sports and physical activity in order to stimulate collaboration and interdisciplinary research. The research carried out within U-IRIS could be the basis of evidence-based advice in various fields of sport and physical activity. ULB and each of U-IRIS partner groups, as well as their existing activities, platforms, infrastructures and collaborations, will gain in visibility, both internally and externally in a promising and rapidly evolving field. The research carried out by U-IRIS is designed to be both fundamental and applied. It is developed around five major axes: - clinics / sports medicine - high level sports / performance - rehabilitation / handicap and sports - sports and society (including education through sports) - prevention / public health / nutrition. The groups participating in U-IRIS represent the Faculties of Philosophy and Social Sciences, Medicine, Psychology and Educational Sciences, Motor Sciences, the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management, the School of Public Health, the Research Department, ULB-Sports and the Erasme Academic Hospital.

cardiovascular diseases epidemiology
The Registry of Myocardial Events of Charleroi also called Acute Coronary Events Registry was established in 1983 as part of the MONICA (Multinational Monitoring of Trends and Determinants in Cardiovascular Diseases) project, coordinated by the World Health Organization. Records of acute coronary events were established in the cities of Charleroi and Ghent since 1983.This is a record that evaluates the incidence, morbidity and mortality of all myocardial infarction. The registry provides reliable epidemiological information on the total weight of infarction in urban and semi-urban community (annual rate of fatal and non-fatal acute coronary events, lethality of the disease at 28 days ). It also provides epidemiological information on the importance of risk factors (from the perspective of primary prevention) and the terms of supported hospital or on the impact of therapeutic measures administered (in a context of secondary prevention). The aim is also to provide the information needed to develop programs to promote health and prevention of ischemic heart disease.
