The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health: 1921-26 cohort Core Data Release, Participant Status, Surveys 1-7, 2016

This study consists of information from all six surveys of the 1921-26 cohort. ALSWH began collecting information from them when they were already older women. In 1996, more than 12,000 women aged 70-75 years joined the ALSWH and in survey 6 they were between 85 and 90 years old. Of women from the original 1921-26 cohort in 1996, 93% responded to Survey 2 in 1999, 88% to Survey 3 in 2002, 87% to Survey 4 in 2005, 81% to Survey 5 in 2008, and 81% to Survey 6 in 2011 (4,055 participants). Following Survey 6, from November 2011 on, shorter surveys containing a set of core questions were mailed to the 1921-26 cohort every six months after the return of the previous survey. This particular dataset is participant data. It has information for each participant from all surveys of the 1921-1926 cohort.
