The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA)

The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) is a research project that follows adults aged 50 and older in England over time. It collects detailed information on their health, finances, social connections, and well-being. By tracking changes in these areas, ELSA helps researchers understand aging patterns, identify challenges, and inform policies to improve quality of life for older adults. The study involves interviews, questionnaires, and health assessments conducted every few years, providing valuable insights into the experiences of aging in modern England.
