英国老龄化纵向研究 (ELSA) 是一项针对居住在英国 50 岁男性和女性代表性队列的小组研究。它被设计为美国健康与退休研究的姊妹研究，面向多学科，涉及经济、社会、心理、认知、健康、生物和遗传数据的收集。该研究于 2002 年开始，每两年对样本进行一次随访。通过计算机辅助个人访谈和自我填写问卷收集数据，并每 4 年额外进行一次护士拜访以评估生物标志物。原始样本由 11 391 名成员组成，年龄从 50 岁到 100 岁不等。 ELSA 与其他国家的老龄化研究相协调，以促进国际比较，并与财务和健康登记数据相关联。该数据集在收集后很快就可供研究人员和分析人员公开使用 (http://www.esds.ac.uk/longitudinal/access/elsa/l5050.asp)。
The English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) is a panel study of a representative cohort of men and women living in England aged epsilon 50 years. It was designed as a sister study to the Health and Retirement Study in the USA and is multidisciplinary in orientation, involving the collection of economic, social, psychological, cognitive, health, biological and genetic data. The study commenced in 2002, and the sample has been followed up every 2 years. Data are collected using computer-assisted personal interviews and self-completion questionnaires, with additional nurse visits for the assessment of biomarkers every 4 years. The original sample consisted of 11 391 members ranging in age from 50 to 100 years. ELSA is harmonized with ageing studies in other countries to facilitate international comparisons, and is linked to financial and health registry data. The data set is openly available to researchers and analysts soon after collection (http://www.esds.ac.uk/longitudinal/access/elsa/l5050.asp).
