El objetivo de PURE es determinar el impacto de la urbanización sobre la presencia de factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de enfermedades crónicas, entre ellas cardiovasculares y metabólicas, en la población colombiana e identificar cuales de los procesos de urbanización se asocian con mayor peso a diferentes desenlaces (infarto agudo del miocardio, accidente cerebrovascular, falla cardiaca, cáncer, injurias o accidentes, muerte por cualquier causa, entre otros). PURE realiza el seguimiento de 7.543 personas residentes en 11 departamentos colombianos y es desarrollado en 27 países.
