The Australian Longitudinal Study of Ageing: Wave 6, 2001

ALSA is a population-based bio-psycho-social and behavioural study of older adults. The longitudinal data collected in the course of the ALSA study comprise the most comprehensive longitudinal database yet assembled on ageing Australians and the findings of the ALSA are directly relevant to policy formulation and planning of health and social services for an ageing population. Wave 6 (2000-2001) involved a full reassessment, including a comprehensive Computer-Assisted Personal Interview, home based assessments of physiological functions, self-completed questionnaires, and additional clinical studies of most respondents. Wave 3 included questions regarding changes in domicile, current health and functional status, new morbidity conditions, changes in medication, major life events, general life satisfaction, and changes in economic circumstances. Ancillary data have also been collected from secondary providers, including Domiciliary and Rehabilitation Services, Meals on Wheels, and The Royal District Nursing Society. Lists of ALSA participants are compared periodically with the agencies’ lists to determine the prevalence and incidence of receipt of services from these organisations.

澳大利亚老龄化纵向研究（ALSA）是一项针对老年人群的基于人群的生物-心理-社会与行为学研究。该研究收集的纵向数据，是迄今为止已汇编完成的关于澳大利亚老龄化人群最为全面的纵向数据库。ALSA的研究成果可直接为人口老龄化背景下的卫生与社会服务政策制定及规划工作提供支撑。
第六轮调研（2000-2001年）开展了全面复评，内容涵盖完整的计算机辅助个人访谈（Computer-Assisted Personal Interview）、居家生理功能评估、自填式问卷，以及针对绝大多数受访者的额外临床研究。
第三轮调研则包含了住所变更、当前健康与功能状态、新发疾病状况、用药调整、重大生活事件、总体生活满意度，以及经济境况变化等相关问题。
此外，研究团队还从二级服务提供商处收集了辅助数据，包括居家康复服务、Meals on Wheels、皇家地区护理协会（The Royal District Nursing Society）。研究人员会定期将ALSA参与者名单与上述机构的服务名单进行比对，以确定从这些组织接受服务的人群的患病率与发生率。
