HAALSI Baseline Laboratory Data

For the Health and Aging in Africa: A Longitudinal Study of an INDEPTH Community in South Africa (HAALSI) project, a sub-sample of participants were invited to participate in an additional laboratory visit. A sample of participants age 40-69 were invited to visit the laboratory for an additional survey, cognition testing, venous blood and urine collection, spirometry, vision testing, EKG, ankle brachial index measurement, peripheral neuropathy test, abdominal ultrasound, anthropometrics. A sample of participants age 70-79 were visited at home for an additional survey, cognition testing, and venous blood collection. Data from selected laboratory tests are available and made public here, with more data forthcoming. The unique identifier (prim_key) may be merged to the HAALSI baseline survey data.
