    Cohort Details

    Description

    The LASA Study is a prospective cohort study of older adults in the Netherlands, initially based on a nationally representative sample of people aged between 55 and 85 years. The study has been ongoing since 1992, and focuses on the determinants, trajectories and consequences of physical, cognitive, emotional and social functioning. Strengths of the LASA study include its multidisciplinary character, the availability of over 25 years of follow-up, and the cohort-sequential design that allows investigations of longitudinal changes, cohort differences and time trends in functioning.
