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.
