Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health 1921 – 1926 Cohort

Publisher: Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health, 2013

Status – CURRENT

The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) is a longitudinal population-based survey of over 60,000 Australian women in four cohorts. This report is a summary of data for 12,432women in the cohort born 1921-26 who completed the baseline survey in 1996 (aged 70-75 years), and surviving women for each survey point up to May 2013 (aged 87-92). To reduce bias due to non-death attrition, data have been imputed for surviving women who did not return surveys using data for  women  who  did  return  surveys.  The  data  therefore  represent  changes  in  the population  for women who survive to different ages.
