Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: SHARE is a face-to-face interview that takes place in the respondents' homes using CAPI (Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing) software. In the middle of the interview the collection of DBS samples is conducted. Of course, the participation is absolutely voluntary (with regard to the SHARE study as well as regarding the collection of the DBS samples). All participating respondents will be asked for their (informed and written) consent to have their blood collected for DBS samples.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: If for whatever reasons a respondent is not able or willing to consent with regard to the dried blood spots collection, no blood will be collected and this part of the study will be skipped entirely. Furthermore, we will not collect blood in case the interview is a proxy-interview (i.e. an interview not with the originally sampled person but with another person who knows him/her well) or if the respondent is not able to understand the information given to him/her prior to the DBS sample collection and/or to agree to the collection of blood spots.

| SHARE's main aim is to provide data on individuals as they age and their environment in order to analyse the process of individual and population ageing in depth. SHARE is a distributed European research infrastructure which provides data for social scientists, including demographers, economists, psychologists, sociologists, biologists, epidemiologists, public health and health policy experts, who are interested in population aging. | — |
