The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) is a longitudinal study that collects multidisciplinary data from a representative sample of the English population aged 50 and older. The survey data are designed to be used for the investigation of a broad set of topics relevant to understanding the ageing process. Both objective and subjective data are collected covering themes such as health trajectories, disability and healthy life expectancy, the determinants of economic position in older age; the links between economic position, physical health, cognition and mental health; the nature and timing of retirement and post-retirement, labour market activity; household and family structure, social networks and social supports; patterns, determinants and consequences of social, civic and cultural participation and predictors of well-being. ELSA is led by Professor Sir Michael Marmot and is jointly run by teams at University College London (UCL), the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), National Centre for Social Research and the University of Manchester.
The UK Data Service is a national data service that provides research access to a range of social and economic data collections including UK census data and government funded surveys as well as qualitative and business data.
It was established in October 2012 with funding from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). The service incorporates several previous services also established by the ESRC, including the Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS), Secure Data Service, and elements of the Census Programme including Census.ac.uk.
In October 2013, the UK Data Service received additional funding to coordinate the Administrative Data Research Network (ADRN), designed to streamline research access to data routinely collected by UK government departments and other agencies. The ADRN is phase one of the ESRC Big Data Network.
UK Data Service is listed in the Registry of Research Data Repositories re3data.org.
The UK Data Service is commissioned to provide data access and support for researchers from all sectors including higher education, central and local government, foundations, charities and business. There are currently more than 6,000 datasets available from a variety of sources. Key data types include:
Using findings from English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), this webinar empirically examines questions on how the nature of later life is changing, how this relates to period and cohort influences, and how processes of inequality persist into later life. In particular, the presentation focuses on the influence of socioeconomic inequalities on transitions and outcomes for older adults. James Nazroo is professor of sociology, director of the Centre on Dynamics of Ethnicity (CoDE), and co-director of the Manchester Institute for Collaborative Research on Ageing (MICRA) at the University of Manchester. He is the principal investigator of the fRaill programme, an interdisciplinary study of inequalities in later life, and co-principal investigator of ELSA, which is a multi-disci...
CESSDA hosted a webinar introducing data across Europe for researching ageing. Participants learnt about key studies including major longitudinal and cross-national studies such as the Survey of Health, ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA). The webinar will include guest speakers from SHARE, TILDA and Gateway to Global Aging Data, who will give an overview of these resources and their research potential. There will also be a practical overview of European social science data services.
The NUJLSOA is a longitudinal survey of a nationally representative sample of the population aged 65 and over in Japan. The first wave of data was collected in November 1999, the second in November 2001, a third wave in November 2003 and the forth wave is currently under development. The study was designed primarily to investigate health status of the Japanese elderly and changes in health status over time. An additional aim is to investigate the impact of long-term care insurance system on the use of services by the Japanese elderly and to investigate the relationship between co-residence and the use of long term care. While the focus of the survey is health and health service utilization, other topics relevant to the aging experience are included such as intergenerational exchange, livin...

A longitudinal survey is a correlational research study that involves repeated observations of the same variables over long periods of time, often many decades. It is often a type of observational study, although they can also be structured as longitudinal randomized experiments. Longitudinal studies are often used in psychology, to study developmental trends across the life span, and in sociology, to study life events throughout lifetimes or generations. The reason for this is that unlike cross-sectional studies, in which different i...
About the Speech: The phenomenon of population ageing is creating a "silver economy" which raises profound issues of intergenerational solidarity and conflict. New demographic challenges, associated with falling fertility rates and increasing longevity, are introducing new dynamics in labour markets, healthcare and individual life courses. In this context, Professor Harper considered innovative ideas for addressing these challenges, including incentivising labour force participation beyond current retirement ages, ensuring a sustainable pension system linked to measures of life expectancy and taking account of indicators of healthy life expectancy. This event was co-hosted with Age and Opportunity and in association with the Bealtaine Festival -- Ireland's nationwide celebration of creat...

Paper: Regression Analysis III Module: Subject specific models for Longitudinal Data Content Writer: Sayantee Jana/ Sujit Ray
In longitudinal studies, subjects are followed for a period of time and outcomes along with other characteristics for each subject are measured at multiple pre-specified time points. Unlike data collected from cross-sectional studies where outcomes and other characteristics are measured at only one time point for each subject, data collected from longitudinal studies allow investigators to study changes in response over time. However, designing and analyzing longitudinal studies require careful considerations. Two major issues that arise in longitudinal studies are the correlation between measurements from the same subject and potential missing data due to loss of follow-up. In this talk, we will introduce common statistical analysis methods that account for the correlation structure o...
(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/) Impairments in language and communication are among the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These impairments are often the first symptoms to emerge and parents may raise initial concerns about their baby, later diagnosed with ASD, because he or she fails to communicate and has not begun speaking. In this talk Helen Tager-Flusberg presents data from two large-scale longitudinal studies that focus on the early development of language in this population: a study of infants at risk for ASD and a study of toddlers with ASD who were followed from age 2 to 4, with an emphasis on which factors predict variability in language outcomes in ASD.
