Mexican Health and Aging Study Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Mexican Health and Aging Study (RRID:SCR_000818) | MHAS | biomaterial supply resource, material resource | A dataset of a prospective panel study of health and aging in Mexico. The study was designed to ensure comparability with the U.S. Health and Retirement Study in many domains, and the NHANES III. The baseline survey in 2001 is nationally representative of the 13 million Mexicans born prior to 1951. The six Mexican states which are home to 40% of all migrants to the U.S. were over-sampled at a rate of 1.7:1. Spouse/partners of eligible respondents were interviewed also, even if the spouse was born after 1950. Completed interviews were obtained in 9,862 households, for a total of 15,186 individual interviews. All interviews were face-to-face, with average duration of 82 minutes. A direct interview (on the Basic questionnaire) was sought, and Proxy interviews were obtained when poor health or temporary absence precluded a direct interview. Questionnaire topics included the following: * HEALTH MEASURES: self-reports of conditions, symptoms, functional status, hygienic behaviors (e.g., smoking & drinking history), use/source/costs of health care services, depression, pain, reading and cognitive performance; * BACKGROUND: Childhood health and living conditions, education, ability to read/write and count, migration history, marital history; * FAMILY: rosters of all children (including deceased children); for each, demographic attributes, summary indicators of childhood and current health, education, current work status, migration. Parent and sibling migration experiences; * TRANSFERS: financial and time help given to and received by respondent from children, indexed to specific child; time and financial help to parent; * ECONOMIC: sources and amounts of income, including wages, pensions, and government subsidies; type and value of assets. All amount variables are bracketed in case of non-response. * HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: type, location, building materials, other indicators of quality, and ownership of consumer durables; * ANTHROPOMETRIC: for a 20% sub-sample, measured weight, height; waist, hip, and calf circumference; knee height, and timed one-leg stands. Current plans are to conduct another two follow-up surveys in 2012 and 2014 and will field the 3rd and 4th waves of survey data collection in Mexico. For the 2012 wave, interviews will be sought for: every person who was part of the panel in 2003 and their new spouse / partner, if applicable, and a new sample of persons born between 1952 and 1962. For the 2014 wave, we will follow-up the whole sample from 2012. Interviews will be conducted person-to-person. Direct interviews will be sought with all informants, but proxy interviews are allowed for those unable to complete their own interview for health or cognitive reasons. A next-of-kin interview will be completed with a knowledgeable respondent for those who were part of the panel but have died since the last interview. A sub-sample will be selected to obtain objective markers such as blood sample and anthropometric measures. Data Availability: The 2001 baseline data, 2003 follow-up data, and documentation can be downloaded. * Dates of Study: 2001-2003 * Study Features: Longitudinal, International, Anthropometric Measures * Sample Size: 2001: 15,186 (Baseline) Link: * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/00142 | health, mexican, adult human, mexico, longitudinal, international, anthropometric measure, middle adult human, late adult human, interview, survey, spouse, health behavior, health status, childhood, family background, migration, income, housing environment, family life, behavior, housing, living arrangement, mental health, quality of life, questionnaire, disease, disability, economic, family, urban, rural, blood, self-report, chronic condition, symptom report, functionality, cognition, socioeconomic, work history, health insurance, health expenditure, parent, child, household resident, asset, pension, smoking, alcohol use, depressive disorder, pain, reading, education, demographics, employment |

Signal Detection Software for Receiver Operator Characteristics (RRID:SCR_008752) | Signal Detection Software for ROC | software resource | Software program designed to help the average clinician/researcher with a PC to evaluate clinical databases and discover the characteristics of patients, including genetics that best predict a binary outcome. That outcome may be any binary outcome such as: * Whether or not the patient has a certain disorder (medical test evaluation) * Whether or not the patient is likely to develop a certain disorder (risk factor evaluation) * Whether or not the patient is likely to respond to a certain treatment (evaluation of treatment moderators) When the predictors considered are themselves all binary (e.g., male/female; inpatient/outpatient; symptoms present/absent), the program identifies the optimal predictor. When one or more of the predictors are ordinal (e.g., age, severity of symptoms) it identifies the optimal cutpoint for each or the ordinal predictors, as well as the overall optimal predictor. | signal detection, signal, clinician, researcher, prediction, binary outcome, evaluation, medical test, risk factor, treatment | has parent organization: Stanford/VA Aging Clinical Research Center | Aging | nlx_143946 | SCR_008752 | 2026-02-14 02:01:44 | 4 | ||||||||

Progeria Research Foundation (RRID:SCR_012786) | PRF | institution | The mission of The Progeria Research Foundation is to discover treatments and the cure for Progeria, and its aging related disorders. Progeria is a rare and fatal genetic disease characterized by an appearance of accelerated aging in children. Without the discovery of new treatments, all children with Progeria will die of heart disease at an average age of 13 years. The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) was founded in 1999 in response to the complete lack of progress being made to help children with Progeria. We have filled a void, taking these children out of the background where they had been for over 100 years and putting them and Progeria at the forefront of scientific efforts. In just 11.5 years, we have achieved extraordinary progress towards our mission: the Progeria gene discovery in 2003, first-ever clinical drug trials initiated in 2007, extensive global awareness of the disease and PRF''s work, and discovery of critical biological links between Progeria, heart disease and aging we all experience. | progeria | is parent organization of: Progeria Cell and Tissue Bank | Aging | Crossref funder ID: 100002287, grid.423381.f, nlx_53243 | https://ror.org/03qs03z89 | SCR_012786 | 2026-02-14 02:02:46 | 34 | |||||||

A searchable database for epidemiologic research on aging changes across the lifespan. In 2003, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) established the Longitudinal Data on Aging (LDA) working group to assist with the development of research initiatives for identifying the physiologic and other types of factors across the lifespan, affecting onset and progression of disease with advancing age, as well as elucidation of protective factors contributing to exceptionally healthy aging. This database was developed based on input from the LDA working group which indicated that establishing a database of existing sources of longitudinal data on aging (e.g., ongoing longitudinal cohorts, longitudinal data sets, biospecimen repositories) would be a valuable resource for facilitating future research on aging changes across the lifespan. The longitudinal studies, data sets and repositories included in this database encompass a wide range of age groups (childhood to old age), studies in minority populations, as well as sources of longitudinal data existing in the United States and abroad. Our primary purpose for establishing this database is to provide a resource for potential applicants for grants to the NIA.

Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) (RRID:SCR_008904) | CLHLS | data or information resource, database | The project has been collecting detailed panel data about the health, disability, demographic, family, socioeconomic, and behavioral risk-factors for mortality and healthy longevity of the oldest old, with a comparative sub-sample of younger elders, to examine the factors in healthy longevity. The baseline survey was conducted in 1998 and the follow-up surveys with replacement to compensate for deceased elders were conducted in 2000, 2002, 2005, and 2008, For each centenarian, one near-by octogenarian (aged 80-89) and one near-by nonagenarian (aged 90-99) of pre-designated age and sex were interviewed. Near-by is loosely defined it could be in the same village or street if available, or in the same town or in the same county or city. The idea was to have comparable numbers of male and female octogenarians and nonagenarians at each age from 80 to 99. In 2002, the study added a refresher sub-sample of 4,845 interviewees aged 65-79, and a sub-sample of 4,478 adult children (aged 35-65) of the elderly interviewees aged 65-110 in eight provinces Comparative study of intergenerational relationships in the context of rapid aging and healthy longevity between Mainland China and Taiwan is possible. At each wave, the longitudinal survivors were re-interviewed, and the deceased interviewees were replaced by additional participants. Data on mortality and health status before dying for the 12,136 elders aged 65-112 who died between the waves were collected in interviews with a close family member of the deceased.

Charleston Heart Study (RRID:SCR_008895) | CHS | data or information resource, database | The Charleston Heart Study (CHS) is a prospective cohort study of 2,283 subjects (1,394 whites, 889 blacks) in which risk factors of coronary disease have been examined for the past 43 years. The CHS began enrolling a random selection of community residents who in 1960 were 35 years of age and older ����?? including men and women, black and white. A unique feature of this cohort is the fact that 102 high socio-economic status (SES) black men were purposefully included. The primary hypothesis of the original study was to investigate racial differences in the manifestation and risk factors for coronary disease. Over the ensuing 40+ years, a variety of outcome measurements were incorporated into the re-examination of the participants, including psychosocial, behavioral, aging and functional measures. Subjects were initially interviewed and examined in 1960 and 1963. Subsequent interviews and examinations took place during the following time periods: 1974-1975, 1984-1985, 1987-1989, and 1990-1991. During the most recent questionnaire (1990-1991), the following topics were examined: general health, smoking, functional disability, physical disability, cardiovascular health, sexual dysfunction, cognitive disability, depression, coffee consumption, medication history, medical history, nutrition, and body image. In addition, serum samples and blood pressure measurements were taken, and a physical exam was performed by a physician. A search of the National Death Index was completed through the year 2000, matching individuals with date and cause of death. Vital status of the CHS study participants through 12-31-2000 is presented below. Dead * White Men 539 (82.5%) * White Women 500 (67.5%) * Black Men 281 (84.4%) * High SES Black Men 59 (57.8%) * Black Women 343 (75.6%) Data Availability: Datasets are stored in the National Archive of Computerized Data on Aging (NACDA) in the ICPSR as Study No. 4050.
