Indications on happiness of each participant were collected using one section of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Tobacco and alcohol use were investigated through self-report and was investigated through a food frequency questionnaire. Current physical activity was estimated using a threshold of at least 150 minutes of walking or cycling in the past week as well as a self-reported diagnosis concerning stroke, diabetes, hypertension, and treatments for these conditions.
Cognitive and functional decline was assessed using the Community Screening Interview for Dementia (CSI-D) . All subjects who obtained a poor performance to the CSI-D were convened to a further clinical assessment with a neurologist (P2).

A physical assessment included the following measures: height, weight, waist, hip, and mid-upper arm circumferences, leg length, pulse rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, ankle-brachial index (ABI), and blood glucose level. Frailty was investigated through the SOF index (Study of Osteoporotic Fracture) and walking speed.
Blood samples were collected: total cholesterol and C-reactive protein were determined and DNA was extracted.
All subjects who obtained a poor performance to the CSI-D were convened to a further clinical assessment with a neurologist (P2).
