영문 초록

The Korean Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (KSHAP) is a population-based longitudinal study of health determinants among elderly Koreans. The target population of the KSHAP are people aged 60 years or older and their spouses living in a rural community of Korea. A complete enumeration survey was conducted in the first wave of the KSHAP on 94.7% (814 of 860) of the target population between December 2011 and July 2012. The KSHAP-Health Examination (KSHAP-HE) cohort consists of 698 people who completed addition-al health examinations at a public health center (n= 533) or at their home (n= 165). Face-to-face question-naires were used to interview participants on their demographics, social network characteristics, medical histo-ry, health behaviors, cognitive function, and depression symptoms. Health center examinations included an-thropometric measures, body impedance analysis, resting blood pressure measurement, radial artery tonome-try, bone densitometry, the timed up-and-go test, and fasting blood analysis. However, only anthropometric measures, blood pressure measurement, and non-fasting blood analysis were available for home health exami-nations. Collaboration is encouraged and access to the KSHAP baseline data will be available via the website of the Korean Social Science Data Archive (http://www.kossda.or.kr).
