SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Introducing the Longitudinal Study of Health and Ageing in Kenya (LOSHAK)
DESCRIPTION:Many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are experiencing rapid demographic shifts\, including an unprecedented aging of their populations. Kenya is at the front end of these transitions and is projected to experience a 4-fold increase in the number of adults over age 60 in just three decades. The Longitudinal Study of Health and Ageing in Kenya (LOSHAK) was developed to collect data on health and economic wellbeing among older Kenyans. LOSHAK is harmonized with other studies in the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) families of studies. We anticipate that LOSHAK will serve as an important resource for policy\, public health\, and economic planners in Kenya and the region as they aim to address the varied social\, health\, and economic consequences of aging populations. This talk will focus on the development of LOSHAK and plans for its future.\n\nWatch a preview of this talk at https://youtu.be/uGRcmnvYbBc
