Data Collection Event
10/66 - Venezuela - Follow-up 1
The interviews for the incidence phase largely involved a repeat of the baseline, with the aim of identifying incident dementia.
The information collected during the interview included measures of cognitive function, mental disorders, physical health, anthropometry, sociodemographics, health and lifestyle risk factors, disability/dependence, health service utilization, care arrangements, caregiver strain and biological measures.
Blood was also collected.
For those who died between baseline and follow-up, a verbal autopsy interview with a co-resident, relative or other person well-placed to know the circumstances of death was completed.
