Lifecourse, Ageing and Generation study 2002/2003, postal supplement

There is little knowledge about midlife and old age in Norway. The Lifecourse, Ageing and Generation study 2002/2003 (LAG) is the first big survey on this subject. The survey is longitudinal and the respondents will be followed for at least 20 years in the future. LAG is one of two parts that constitute the international study on lifespan, generation and gender (LOGG).

LAG is a study of people from 40 years and older. The objective is to understand the diversity of this life phase, and how societal changes affects people in this age group. The survey is focused on four central life areas: Family, work, retirement, life quality, health and care.

This is a supplementary file, consisting of the postal self-completion questionnaire that were sent to the respondents after they have completed the main survey. The main survey of respondents between the ages of 40-79 years is documented in a separate file. There is also a second supplementary file that consists of respondents over 80 years.
