Summary
The Costa Rican Longevity and Healthy Aging Study (CRELES) is a nationally representative longitudinal survey of Costa Ricans ages 60 and older. Topics studied include health status, mental health, living conditions, health behaviors, health care use, social support, and socioeconomic status. Anthropometric measurements and blood tests were also collected.
In 2010, CRELES was expanded to include a Retirement Cohort of participants born between 1945 and 1955. The second wave of CRELES-RC included a sample of about 2,500 participants, and interviews with about 1,150 spouses.
