The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) is a large,
national, long-term study that will follow approximately 50,000 men and
women between the ages of 45 and 85 for at least 20 years.
The ultimate aim of the CLSA is to find ways to improve the health of Canadians by better understanding the aging process and the factors that shape the way we age.
The study takes an integrative approach, examining healthy aging through a number of different lenses. Study investigators will collect a wide range of information about the changing biological, medical, psychological, social, lifestyle and economic aspects of people’s lives.
The study is a longitudinal design, meaning that it will follow people over a long period of time. It is also supplemented with a series of cross-sectional snapshots that will allow for immediate and continual research results.
The CLSA is a strategic initiative of Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR). Support for the study has been provided by the Government of Canada through the CIHR and the Canada Foundation for Innovation, as well as the provincial governments of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador.
