Longitudinal twin study to understand individual differences in aging with corresponding data and biological samples. The twin design and the inclusion of twins reared apart makes it possible to study the importance of genetic and environmental factors that may underlie differing aging outcomes. Further, the broad spectrum of biological, psychological, and social domains assessed across the life span makes it possible to study patterns of change within and across domains and how these predict health and diseases of aging. The study is comprised of several longitudinal components including, a comprehensive questionnaire that was sent to all twins in the Swedish Twin Registry who were separated at an early age and reared apart and a control sample of twins reared together. The questionnaires include items concerning rearing, family, adult, and working environment, health status, health related behaviors (e.g. alcohol, tobacco, and dietary habits) as well as relationships, and personality measures. The questionnaires were sent again at 3 year intervals in 1987, 1990, 1993 and after a break again in 2004, 2007, and 2010. Thus far more than 2,000 twins have responded to at least one of the seven questionnaire assessments conducted between 1984 and 2010. Additionally there is information about midlife life style factors from the Swedish Twin Registry that were collected about twenty years before SATSA started. In the second component a subsample of 861 individuals have participated in at least one wave of in-person testing (IPT). The first IPT started in 1986 and since then eight IPTs have been collected and the last wave will be collected during 2012-2013. The IPT includes a health examination, structured interviews, tests of functional capacity, and memory and thinking abilities. To date, over 76% of the sample has participated in 3 or more measurement waves. At IPT9 a third component was added to SATSA, a measure of day-to-day fluctuations in memory and thinking abilities, and emotions. Information about social interactions is also collected. After the visit by the research nurses the twins fill out the day-to-day booklet during the next five days. This procedure will be repeated in IPT10. This will add information about small and short-term changes and more changes are supposed to indicate the beginning of poor health. Data from SATSA can be used to study various aspects of aging. For example, the relative importance of genetic and environmental factors for individual differences in aging especially in cognitive and physical domains has been studied. A further main focus is to study changes within and across domains and which genetic and life style factors predict these changes. Given the wide spectrum of data from measured genes to social relationships collected over more than two decades they dare to say that SATSA is a unique study, with the possibility to answer many questions within gerontology and geriatrics. Types of samples * Serum * DNA Number of sample donors: 674 (June 2010)

http://www.nltcs.aas.duke.edu/index.htm

A data set of a longitudinal survey designed to study changes in the health and functional status of older Americans (aged 65+). It also tracks health expenditures, Medicare service use, and the availability of personal, family, and community resources for caregiving. The survey began in 1982, and follow-up surveys were conducted in 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, and 2004. The surveys are of the entire Medicare-enrolled aged population with a particular emphasis on the functionally impaired. As sample persons are followed through the Medicare record system, virtually 100% of cases can be longitudinally tracked so that declines, as well as increases, in disability may be identified as well as exact dates of death. NLTCS sample persons are followed until death and are permanently and continuously linked to the Medicare record system from which they are drawn. Linkage to the Medicare Part A and B service use records extends from 1982 to 2004, so that detailed Medicare expenditures and types of service use may be studied. Through the careful application of methods to reduce non-sampling error, the surveys provide nationally representative data on: * The prevalence and patterns of functional limitations, both physical and cognitive; * Longitudinal and cohort patterns of change in functional limitation and mortality over 22 years; * Medical conditions and recent medical problems; * Health care services used; * The kind and amount of formal and informal services received by impaired individuals and how it is paid for; * Demographic and economic characteristics like age, race, sex, marital status, education, and income and assets; * Out-of-pocket expenditures for health care services and other sources of payment; * Housing and neighborhood characteristics. In each of the six surveys, large samples (N~20,000) of the oldest-old population (i.e., those 85 and over) are obtained. The survey data (i.e., detailed community and institutional interviews. The linkage to Medicare enrollment files between 1982 and 2004 was 100%, i.e., there was complete follow-up of all cases (including survey non-respondents) for Medicare eligibility (and for most years, detailed Part A and B use), mortality, and date of death. Medicare mortality records (and dates of death) are available for 1982 to 2005. The number of deaths (i.e., about 32,000 from 1982 to 2005) is large enough that detailed mortality analyses can be done. Over the 22 years spanned by the six surveys, a total of 49,242 distinct individuals were followed from and linked to Medicare records. Data Availability: The data are available through ICPSR as Study No. 9681. The data are available only on CD-ROM and only upon completion of a signed Data Use Agreement. Continuously linked Medicare data (1982 through 2004) for the National Long Term Care Surveys are only available from CMS. * Dates of Study: 1982-2004 * Study Features: Longitudinal, Anthropometric Measures * Sample Size: ** 1982: 20,485 ** 1984: 25,401 ** 1989: 17,565 ** 1994: 19,171 ** 1999: 19,907 ** 2004: 20,474 Link: * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/09681

A data set and sister study to the Established Populations for Epidemiologic Study of the Elderly (EPESE). It complements the findings of the three other EPESE sites (East Boston, MA; New Haven, CT; and north-central North Carolina) and has common items and methods in many domains. The target population was all persons 65 years and older in two rural counties in east central Iowa: Iowa and Washington counties. In 1981 a census of older persons in the target area was conducted by the investigators, creating an ascertainment list having 99% of the persons identified in the previous year by the US Decennial Census. The baseline survey was conducted between December 1991 and August 1992. Overall, 3,673 persons, or 80% of the target population were interviewed: 65-69 (N = 986), 70-74 (N = 988), 75-79 (N = 815), 80-84 (N = 523), and 85+ (N = 361). The population is virtually entirely Caucasian. Subsequently, personal follow-up surveys were conducted 3, 6, and 10 years after the baseline survey. Telephone surveys were conducted 1, 2, 4, 5, and 7 years after the baseline survey. Data collected from respondents included information about demographics, major health conditions, health care utilization, hearing and vision, weight and height, elements of nutrition, sleep problems, depressive and anxiety symptoms, alcohol and tobacco use, cognitive performance and dementia screening, incontinence measures, life satisfaction index, social networks and support, worries, medication use, activities of daily living, dental problems, satisfaction with medical care, life events, brief economic status, automobile driving habits, multiple measures of physical and disability status, and blood pressure. At follow-up #6, there were a series of physical function performance tests, the so-called NIA-MacArthur Battery, and blood was drawn for biochemical tests and potentially other determinations. In addition, some datasets were linked to the EPESE dataset under appropriate restrictions, including Iowa state driving records and clinical diagnoses and medical care utilization from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Data Availability: The dataset has been shared with several investigative teams under special arrangement with the Principal Investigator. Early surveys are available from ICPSR. A small storage of blood is available for exploratory analyses. * Dates of Study: 1991-2001 * Study Features: Longitudinal, Anthropometric Measures, Biomarkers * Sample Size: 1991-2: 3,673 (baseline) Link: EPESE 1981-93 ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/09915

http://www.norc.org/Research/Projects/Pages/national-social-life-health-and-aging-project.aspx

A longitudinal, population-based study of health and social factors, aiming to understand the well-being of older, community-dwelling Americans by examining the interactions among physical health and illness, medication use, cognitive function, emotional health, sensory function, health behaviors, social connectedness, sexuality, and relationship quality. NSHAP provides policy makers, health providers, and individuals with useful information and insights into these factors, particularly on social and intimate relationships. The study contributes to finding new ways to improve health as people age. In 2005 and 2006, NORC and Principal Investigators at the University of Chicago conducted the first wave of NSHAP, completing more than 3,000 interviews with a nationally representative sample of adults aged 57 to 85. In 2010 and 2011, nearly 3,400 interviews were completed for Wave 2 with these Wave 1 Respondents, Wave 1 Non-Interviewed Respondents, and their spouses or cohabiting romantic partners. The second wave of NSHAP is essential to understanding how social and biological characteristics change. NSHAP, by eliciting a variety of information from respondents over time, provides data that will allow researchers in a number of fields to examine how specific factors may or may not affect each other across the life course. For both waves, data collection included three measurements: in-home interviews, biomeasures, and leave-behind respondent-administered questionnaires. The face-to-face interviews and biomeasure collection took place in respondents'''' homes. NSHAP uses a national area probability sample of community residing adults born between 1920 and 1947 (aged 57 to 85 at the time of the Wave 1 interview), which includes an oversampling of African-Americans and Hispanics. The NSHAP sample is built on the foundation of the national household screening carried out by the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) in 2004. Through a collaborative agreement, HRS identified households for the NSHAP eligible population. A sample of 4,400 people was selected from the screened households. NSHAP made one selection per household. Ninety-two percent of the persons selected for the NSHAP interview were eligible. For Wave 2 in 2010 and 2011, NSHAP returned to Wave 1 Respondents and eligible non-interviewed respondents from Wave 1 (Wave 1 Non-Interviewed Respondents). NSHAP also extended the Wave 2 sample to include the cohabiting spouses and romantic partners of Wave 1 Respondents and Wave 1 Non-Interviewed Respondents. Partners were considered to be eligible to participate in NSHAP if they resided in the household with the Wave 1 Respondent/Wave 1 Non-Interviewed Respondent at the time of the Wave 2 interview and were at least 18 years of age. Wave I biomeasures: height; weight; waist circumference; blood pressure; smell; taste; vision; touch; respondent-administered vaginal swabs; oral mucosal transudate (OMT) for HIV-1 antibody screening; saliva; ����??get up and go����??; and blood spots. Technological advances in biomeasure collection methods have decreased respondent burden and increased ease of collection, storage, and yield of various biomeasures for the second wave of NSHAP. Wave II biomeasures: anthropometrics, including height, hip and waist circumference, and weight; cardiovascular function, including blood pressure, heart rate variability, and pulse; 2 of the 3 components of the short physical performance battery (SPPB) including chair stands and a timed walk; sensory function including smell; and actigraphy. In addition, we collect dried blood spots, microtainer blood, passive drool and salivettes, urine, and respondent-administered vaginal swabs, each of which are analyzed using multiple assays for a variety of measures and rationales. Furthermore, we assess respondents����?? cognition using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Data Availability: NSHAP data made available to the public does not contain any identifiable respondent information and uses code numbers instead of names for all data. De-identified data from the 2005 and 2006 interviews are available to researchers through the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging, located within Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR). Data from the Wave 2 interviews in 2010 and 2011 will be available in the summer of 2012. * Dates of Study: 2005-2006, 2010-2011 * Study Features: Biospecimens, Anthropometric Measures * Sample Size: ** Wave 1: 3,005 ** Wave 2: 3,377 Links: * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/20541

Data set on the prevalence of self-care behaviors by non-institutionalized older adults. Personal interviews were conducted with 3,485 individuals 65 years of age and older, with oversampling of the oldest old. Questions were asked about the type and extent of self-care behaviors for activities of daily living, management of chronic conditions (through self-care activities, equipment use, and environmental modifications), medical self-care for acute conditions, health promotion/disease preventions, social support, health service utilization, and socio-demographic/economic status. A follow-up study by telephone was conducted in 1994 to continue examination of subjects. Many of the same questions from the baseline were asked, along with questions regarding change in health status since baseline and nursing home visits. For subjects who had been institutionalized since baseline (Part 2), information was gathered (by proxy) regarding demographic status, living arrangements prior to institutionalization, and reasons for institutionalization. For subjects who had died since baseline (Part 3), information was again gathered through interviews with proxies. Questions covered nursing home admissions and date and place of death. In both waves, a proxy was substituted if the subject was hospitalized (or institutionalized since baseline), too ill, cognitively not able to respond, or deceased. Survey data were linked to Medicare/Medicaid health utilization records. The baseline data are archived at NACDA as ICPSR Study No. 6718, and the followup data are archived as ICPSR Study No. 2592 and linkable to the baseline data. * Dates of Study: 1990-1994 * Study Features: Longitudinal * Sample Size: ** 1990-1: 3,485 (Baseline) ** 1994: 2,601 (Followup) Links: * 1990-1991 Baseline ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06718 * 1994 Follow-up ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/02592

A national sample survey dataset covering a wide variety of issues on American family life beginning in 1987-88 and at two subsequent timepoints1992-93 and 2001-03. Topics covered included detailed household composition, family background, adult family transitions, couple interactions, parent-child interactions, education and work, health, economic and psychological well-being, and family attitudes. The first wave interviewed 13,017 respondents, including a main cross-section sample of 9,643 persons aged 19 and over plus an oversample of minorities and households containing single-parent families, step-families, recently married couples, and cohabiting couples. In each household, a randomly selected adult was interviewed. In addition, a shorter, self-administered questionnaire was filled out by the spouse or cohabiting partner of the primary respondent. Interviews averaged about 100 minutes, although interview length varied considerably with the complexity of the respondent''s family history. In 1992-94, an in-person interview was conducted of all surviving members of the original sample, the current spouse or cohabiting partner, and with the baseline spouse or partner in cases where the relationship had ended. Telephone interviews were conducted with focal children who were aged 5-12 and 13-18 at baseline. Short proxy interviews were conducted with a surviving spouse or other relative in cases where the original respondent died or was too ill to interview. A telephone interview was conducted with one randomly selected parent of the main respondent. In 2001-03, telephone interviews were conducted with: Surviving members of the original respondents who had a focal child age 5 or over at baseline; the baseline spouse/partner of these original respondents, whether or not the couple was still together; the focal children who were in the household and aged 5-18 at baselinemost of whom were interviewed at wave 2; and all other original respondents age 45 or older in 2000, and their baseline spouse/partner.

A wide-ranging representative longitudinal study of private households that permits researchers to track yearly changes in the health and economic well-being of older people relative to younger people in Germany from 1984 to the present. Every year, there were nearly 11,000 households, and more than 20,000 persons sampled by the fieldwork organization TNS Infratest Sozialforschung. The data provide information on all household members, consisting of Germans living in the Old and New German States, Foreigners, and recent Immigrants to Germany. The Panel was started in 1984. Some of the many topics include household composition, occupational biographies, employment, earnings, health and satisfaction indicators. In addition to standard demographic information, the GSOEP questionnaire also contains objective measuresuse of time, use of earnings, income, benefit payments, health, etc. and subjective measures - level of satisfaction with various aspects of life, hopes and fears, political involvement, etc. of the German population. The first wave, collected in 1984 in the western states of Germany, contains 5,921 households in two randomly sampled sub-groups: 1) German Sub-Sample: people in private households where the head of household was not of Turkish, Greek, Yugoslavian, Spanish, or Italian nationality; 2) Foreign Sub-Sample: people in private households where the head of household was of Turkish, Greek, Yugoslavian, Spanish, or Italian nationality. In each year since 1984, the GSOEP has attempted to re-interview original sample members unless they leave the country. A major expansion of the GSOEP was necessitated by German reunification. In June 1990, the GSOEP fielded a first wave of the eastern states of Germany. This sub-sample includes individuals in private households where the head of household was a citizen of the German Democratic Republic. The first wave contains 2,179 households. In 1994 and 1995, the GSOEP added a sample of immigrants to the western states of Germany from 522 households who arrived after 1984, which in 2006 included 360 households and 684 respondents. In 1998 a new refreshment sample of 1,067 households was selected from the population of private households. In 2000 a sample was drawn using essentially similar selection rules as the original German sub-sample and the 1998 refreshment sample with some modifications. The 2000 sample includes 6,052 households covering 10,890 individuals. Finally, in 2002, an overrepresentation of high-income households was added with 2,671 respondents from 1,224 households, of which 1,801 individuals (689 households) were still included in the year 2006. Data Availability: The data are available to researchers in Germany and abroad in SPSS, SAS, TDA, STATA, and ASCII format for immediate use. Extensive documentation in English and German is available online. The SOEP data are available in German and English, alone or in combination with data from other international panel surveys (e.g., the Cross-National Equivalent Files which contain panel data from Canada, Germany, and the United States). The public use file of the SOEP with anonymous microdata is provided free of charge (plus shipping costs) to universities and research centers. The individual SOEP datasets cannot be downloaded from the DIW Web site due to data protection regulations. Use of the data is subject to special regulations, and data privacy laws necessitate the signing of a data transfer contract with the DIW. The English Language Public Use Version of the GSOEP is distributed and administered by the Department of Policy Analysis and Management, Cornell University. The data are available on CD-ROM from Cornell for a fee.

A collection of data of an epidemiological study of chronic disease in the oldest old based on information collected from Kaiser Permanente facilities in Northern California (KPNC). The initial sample was drawn from the Kaiser''s active membership lists for the years 1971 and 1980. The sample was restricted to members that had a Multiphasic Health Checkup examination (MHC) within 7 years of the baseline date. The sample was stratified to attain equal numbers of observations (1,000 in each) in three sex-age cells for each cohort: 65-69, 70-79, and 80+. Each cohort was followed for 9 years through existing medical records and computerized hospitalization tapes. Mortality data was collected by matching the sampled data with state Vital Statistics data for an additional 3 years for a total follow-up time of 12 years. Part 1 of the data collections consists of Master Records, which includes information from the morbidity review, in which over 35 chronic conditions or diagnoses were abstracted from the member charts, as well as detailed diagnostic criteria for the major conditions. A prevalence review was done, which included the 4 years prior to the baseline date for these same conditions. Recurrent disease is included for the following conditions: cancers, myocardial infarction, and various forms of strokes. A detailed account of outpatient health services use, and data from the multiphasic health checkup, which was administered to each participant during the nine yearly follow-ups, are also included in the Master Records file. The labs and procedures included: chemistry, hematology, urinalysis, bacteriology, chest x-ray, GI x-ray, ultrasound, CT/MRI, mammogram, resting ECG, treadmill ECG, echocardiograms, nuclear scans, outpatient breast biopsy, cystoscopy, and cataract surgery. Inpatient utilization includes all hospitalizations, procedures done during a hospital stay, length of stay, admitting/discharge diagnosis.
