Summary 

The Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS) is a nationally representative prospective panel study of the 13 million Mexicans born prior to 1951. MHAS respondents were identified from the 2000 National Employment Survey/Encuesta Nacional de Empleo (ENE). Spouse/partners of eligible respondents were also interviewed, even if the spouse was born after 1950. For deceased respondents, interviews are conducted with next-of-kin.

The study protocols and survey instruments of the MHAS are highly comparable to the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Both the University of Texas Medical Branch and Gateway to Global Aging Data provide these data. The UTMB provides the Raw, Constructed/Imputed, and Linkage data files, while GGAD provides a harmonized version.
