Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: This study is a follow-up study among respondents who participated in the LASA study before. The original selection of these respondents is based on a random sample of: a) respondents aged 55-84 years at baseline in 1992, and b) respondents aged 55-64 years at baseline in 2002. The sample was drawn from 9 municipalities across the Netherlands. For the current study, all respondents who were born in 1941 or in previous birthyears and who remain in the LASA study will be included for additional and more frequent LASA follow-up measurements.

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary parameters are objective and subjective indicators of physical, emotional, cognitive and social functioning. These indicators include among others: self-reported functional limitations, depressive symptoms, loneliness, thinking about or planning the end of life, and general cognitive functioning.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
A broad range of paramaters will be included in the data collection. These paramaters can be used in specific data analyses as outcomes, as confounding variables or as mediating or moderating factors. For a more elaborate list of measurements we refer to the LASA Cohort Profile (Huisman et al., 2011), which is included as an attachment. A new element in the follow-up measurements is a daily calendar with questions about pain, wellbeing, sleep and appetite.	—
