Summary 

The Mexican Health and Aging Study 2012 (MHAS-2012) followed up on similar surveys in 2001 and 2003. For MHAS-2012, all eligible respondents (and any new partners/spouses) from the 2003 panel were interviewed, along with a new sample of participants born between 1952 and 1962. Questionnaires for this round followed the structure and topics of the previous rounds, collecting information on demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, health status and health care use, employment, migration, financial stability, and anthropoemtric measurements. 

A fourth wave of the MHAS is planned for 2015, in which all participants from the 2012 wave will be re-interviewed.
