Analysis code and summary data for "Edentulism and Functional Disability in Older Adults: A Longitudinal and Cross-National Study in England, the US, and India"

This repository accompanies the manuscript "Edentulism and Functional Disability in Older Adults: A Longitudinal and Cross-National Study in England, the US, and India" (PLOS ONE, PONE-D-26-20442). It provides everything needed to reproduce the reported results once the source cohort data are obtained through the official access routes. The study uses the Harmonized versions of three ageing cohorts. These are third-party, controlled-access resources governed by data-use agreements that do not permit redistribution of individual-level records. We therefore cannot deposit the raw or cleaned participant-level data here. They are available to any qualified researcher from: Cohort Harmonized dataset source ELSA (England) UK Data Service — https://ukdataservice.ac.uk HRS (United States) Health and Retirement Study, University of Michigan — https://hrs.isr.umich.edu LASI (India) Gateway to Global Aging Data — https://g2aging.org ; International Institute for Population Sciences
