Summary 

The Puerto Rican Elderly: Health Conditions (PREHCO) project provides information on the health and wellbeing of adults ages 60 and over residing in the Puerto Rico. Originally conducted as a cross-sectional survey in 2002-2003, PREHCO became longitudinal with the introduction of wave 2, where wave 1 participants completed a follow-up survey. A proxy was interviewed for those wave 1 participants who were deceased or institutionalized at the time of the survey. For wave 2 of PREHCO, 3,891 respondents and 1,260 spouse interviews were successfully completed.

PREHCO data may also be available through Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), and the DISC Online Archive of the University of Wisconsin-Madison: http://www.disc.wisc.edu/archive/prehco/index.html
