Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam

The Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA) is a research project that studies older adults in the Netherlands over time. Launched in 1992, it collects data on various aspects of aging, including health, social relationships, and lifestyle. By following participants through different stages of aging, researchers aim to understand how these factors influence quality of life and well-being. The findings help inform healthcare and policy decisions related to aging populations, providing insights into how to support healthy aging and improve the lives of the elderly.
