Objective
Changes in and detenninants of healthy ageing in terms of mortality and morbidity outcomes as well as in terms of physical, psychological, cognitive, and social functioning in 11 European countries will be studied. Changes in bio local risk factors with age will be studied and will be related to long-term cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Dietary variables will be related to self-perceived health, psychological and cognitive functioning and all cause morality. In addition, the integration of the diverse indicators of healthy ageing will be investigated. For this purpose, existing databases of three longitudinal studies will be used. This project will provide valuable information to support health promotion activities of the EU and the WHO. Special attention will be given to differences in the above-described relationships between Northern and Southern European populations. Results will be presented to EU policy makers in the form of a final report (as a book and on the internet).
