DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will develop, field and place in the public domain, a longitudinal data set of older adults that reflects the state-of-the art with respect to health and social science surveys of aging. The study will be implemented in Mexico, a rapidly changing, low income society. We will develop a series of innovative modules for older adults, which will be incorporated into a broader survey of adults of all ages, and thereby develop an enriched data base that is specifically designed to capture important dimensions of the health and well-being of the elderly over the life course. Older respondents will be drawn from participants in the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS) an ongoing nationally-representative longitudinal survey of individuals, household, families and communities of over 35,000 people interviewed in 2002 and again in 2005. Additional resurveys will be conducted in 2008 and 2011. With support from this project, over 11,000 respondents age 40 and older will be individually assessed in 2008 and 2011 to form the Mexican Longitudinal Survey of Older Adults and their Families, MxLSOAF. This will yield observations at four points in time spanning nearly a decade of the respondents' lives since most of them were interviewed in the first two waves of MxFLS. In 2008 and 2011, respondents will provide detailed information on health status and health care, work and earnings, pensions, public transfers, kin networks and transfers among network members including non co-resident kin; wealth, migration and living arrangements along with new measures of expectations, attitudes and preferences designed for this project. To complement this information, an innovative set of biomarkers collected from every older respondent will measure risk factors associated with the metabolic syndrome which is a key concern in Mexico where the prevalence of obesity, cardio-vascular disease and diabetes rivals that in the U.S. The data will yield uniquely rich information on older adults in Mexico, reflecting their current and past decisions, which can be linked with information about all household members and non co-resident family across the entire age spectrum. The data are ideally suited to test novel hypotheses about the behavior or older adults as well as evaluate new public programs intended to improve the well-being of Mexico's older population. In the parent project, all movers within Mexico and those who move to the U.S. are followed and interviewed which provides unparalleled opportunities to examine the impact of one's own migration, and that of other family members, on the health and well-being of older Mexicans. MxLSOAF is designed to be comparable with on-going data collection activities in the U.S., U.K., Europe and elsewhere. The project will thereby contribute significantly to the development of public health data infrastructure necessary for scientific research on global aging across substantially different contexts. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE New longitudinal data on the health and well-being of older adults in Mexico will be developed and placed in the public domain for use by the entire scientific community. These data will not only provide important new insights into the health of older Mexicans but also significantly contribute to the research infrastructure necessary to better understand the implications of global aging for current and future public health policy.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将在公共领域发展，现场和地点，这是老年人的纵向数据集，反映了对衰老的健康和社会科学调查的最先进。这项研究将在墨西哥实施，这是一个迅速变化的低收入社会。我们将为老年人开发一系列创新的模块，这些模块将纳入对所有年龄段的成年人的更广泛的调查中，从而开发出丰富的数据库，该数据库的专门设计旨在捕获生活过程中老年人健康和福祉的重要方面。年长的受访者将从参与墨西哥家庭生活调查（MXFL）的参与者中吸引一项持续的代表性的纵向调查，对2002年和2005年接受采访的个人，家庭，家庭和社区的个人，家庭，家庭和社区以及2005年再次采访的人。在2008年和2011年进行了10,000年级的调查。老年人及其家人MXLSOAF。这将产生在受访者生命近十年的四个时间点上的观察结果，因为他们中的大多数人在MXFL的前两波中接受了采访。在2008年和2011年，受访者将提供有关健康状况和医疗保健，工作和收入，养老金，公共转移，亲属网络以及包括非共同居民亲属在内的网络成员之间的详细信息；财富，移民和生活安排，以及为该项目设计的新期望，态度和偏好。为了补充这些信息，从每个老年受访者收集的一系列创新的生物标志物将衡量与代谢综合征相关的风险因素，这是墨西哥的一个关键问题，在墨西哥，肥胖，心脏 - 血管疾病和糖尿病的患病率与美国的各种纽带，在美国的各种纽带，在美国，与墨西哥的互联人员相关的信息将与其他人互不相同，在美国竞争​​，该信息与过去的纽带，该信息与过去的纽带，该信息与过去的纽带相关，该信息与过去的纽带，与过去的纽带相关，该信息与过去的疾病相关，该信息与过去的纽带有关，而不是在墨西哥人的纽带，而又可以纽人的纽带，则可以纽人纽带。整个年龄段的家庭。这些数据非常适合检验有关行为或老年人的新假设，并评估旨在改善墨西哥老年人口福祉的新公共计划。在母公司项目中，对墨西哥和搬到美国的所有移动者进行了遵循和采访，这提供了无与伦比的机会，可以检查自己的移民以及其他家庭成员对墨西哥旧墨西哥人的健康和福祉的影响。 MXLSOAF旨在与美国，英国，欧洲和其他地方正在进行的数据收集活动可比。因此，该项目将为在基本不同背景下全球衰老所必需的公共卫生数据基础设施的发展做出重大贡献。公共卫生相关性的新纵向数据关于墨西哥老年人的健康和福祉的新纵向数据将被开发并放置在公共领域，以供整个科学界使用。这些数据不仅将为墨西哥旧墨西哥人的健康提供重要的新见解，而且还会为更好地理解全球衰老对当前和未来公共卫生政策的影响所必需的研究基础设施做出重大贡献。
