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）：该项目将开发、整理并放置一个老年人纵向数据集，该数据集反映了老龄化健康和社会科学调查的最新技术。该研究将在墨西哥这个快速变化的低收入社会进行。我们将为老年人开发一系列创新模块，将其纳入对所有年龄段成年人的更广泛调查中，从而开发一个丰富的数据库，专门用于捕捉老年人健康和福祉的重要维度。老年人在生命历程中。老年受访者将从墨西哥家庭生活调查 (MxFLS) 的参与者中抽取，该调查正在进行中，该调查对个人、住户、家庭和社区进行了全国性的纵向调查，在 2002 年和 2005 年对超过 35,000 人进行了访谈。2008 年将进行更多的重新调查和 2011 年。在该项目的支持下，超过 11,000 名 40 岁及以上的受访者将接受单独评估2008 年和 2011 年开展墨西哥老年人及其家庭纵向调查 (MxLSOAF)。这将产生跨越受访者近十年生活的四个时间点的观察结果，因为他们中的大多数人在前两波 MxFLS 中接受了采访。 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同住亲属在内的网络成员之间转移的详细信息；财富、移民和生活安排，以及为本项目设计的新的期望、态度和偏好衡量标准。为了补充这些信息，从每位老年受访者那里收集的一套创新生物标志物将测量与代谢综合征相关的风险因素，代谢综合征是墨西哥的一个主要问题，墨西哥的肥胖、心血管疾病和糖尿病的患病率与美国不相上下。数据将产生有关墨西哥老年人的独特丰富信息，反映他们当前和过去的决定，这些信息可以与整个年龄段的所有家庭成员和非同住家庭的信息联系起来。这些数据非常适合测试有关老年人行为的新假设，以及评估旨在改善墨西哥老年人福祉的新公共计划。在母项目中，对墨西哥境内的所有搬家者以及搬到美国的搬家者进行跟踪和采访，这提供了无与伦比的机会来检查自己和其他家庭成员的移民对老年墨西哥人的健康和福祉的影响。 MxLSOAF 的设计目的是与美国、英国、欧洲和其他地方正在进行的数据收集活动相媲美。因此，该项目将为在截然不同的背景下进行全球老龄化科学研究所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 将开发有关墨西哥老年人健康和福祉的新纵向数据，并将其置于公共领域，供整个科学界使用。这些数据不仅将为墨西哥老年人的健康提供重要的新见解，而且还将为更好地了解全球老龄化对当前和未来公共卫生政策的影响所需的研究基础设施做出重大贡献。
