Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main parameters include objective and subjective indicators of physical, emotional, social and cognitive functioning and care use. Indicators include functional limitations, performance indicators, bloodmarkers (among others glucose and vitamin D), depressive symptoms, social network size and received social support, loneliness, frailty and general cognitive functioning.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
A broad range of parameters will be included in the data collection. These can be both endpoints of specific studies or be investigated as confounders or mediators. An exhaustive list of items that are part of the data collection can be found in Huisman et al (2011), attached. A new element in this data collection is an odour test for early identification of Parkinsonism. Respondents will be asked to identify a series of odours from a booklet containing surfaces with sample odours, using a multiple choice format. In a selection of respondents, in-depth interviews shall be conducted on the topic of people's living environment. Participants are asked to take photographs of their living environment as input for the interview. During the follow-up measurement of 2018/2019, a week calendar shall be left at the home of a selection of respondents. Respondents are asked to indicate the degree of pain, sleep, appetite, social contacts they experience and their mood, for a week. This week calendar shall be administered among respondents of the LASA Veranderingsstudie (registratienummer 2016/301), a LASA ancillary study, who have filled out the calendar on previous occasions. Interim questionnaires include the Tilburg Frailty Indicator questionnaire to help monitor frailty.
