Synopsis

This project seeks to provide an up-to-date snapshot of the ALSWH cohorts, including comparisons against baseline surveys and the most recent Australian census data. The project will also compare cohorts with respect to key sociodemographic and health behaviours when the participants were the same age, notably between the 1973-78 and 1946-51 cohorts, and for the 1946-51 and 1921-26 cohorts, as well as the 1989-95 and 1973-78 cohorts. Finally, the project will include an up-to-date cohort profile that provides an overview of the ALSWH cohorts for other researchers (similar to previous publications), including a summary of recent major findings for each cohort.
