Population
LASA first Cohort
The LASA cohort is based on a nationally representative sample of older adults aged 55–85 years (years of birth 1908–37), based in three geographic regions in The Netherlands. These three regions were selected so that an optimal representation of the older Dutch population would be achieved, with respondents from the protestant north-east, the catholic south and secular parts of The Netherlands and from both urbanized and rural areas within each of these regions. The sample was recruited from municipal registries in 1992, with an oversampling of older people and older men in particular.
