ELSA - wave 4
Face-to-face interview, self-completion questionnaire and nurse home visit.
The administered questionnaire was similar to that used in previous waves. The new items included questions on sleep patterns, women's health, working beyond the state pension age and state pension deferral, adaptations to accommodation to assist mobility, monetary gifts and transfers, frequency of carrying out formal and informal volunteering and questions on use of respite services for those who provide care. Respondent's expectations, cognitive functions, psychosocial health and walking speed were measured. Participants were also asked to fill a consent to obtain health and economic data from administrative sources.
Also, blood pressure, lung function, blood tests, anthropometric measures and physical performance measures were done during a nurse visit at the participant’s home.
The data collection was made on the original sample interviewed in Health Survey for England (HSE) 1998/1999/2001 aged 50 and older on March 1th, 2002. A refreshment sample of survey participants aged 50-74 years on March 1th, 2006 were added to the study.
