The SEBAS data (available at <a href="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NACDA/studies/3792/version/5" target="_blank">http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NACDA/studies/3792/version/5</a>) allow researchers to explore the relationships among life challenges, the social environment and health and to examine antecedents, correlates and consequences of change in biological measures and health.
<br>
<br>This webinar will provide an overview of the unique sources of information available in SEBAS and will show examples of how these data can be used in combination with other biosocial surveys for comparative analyses. The presentation will review the background for the SEBAS, describe the cohort and how the survey builds on the parent study (TLSA), briefly explain the measures that were collected, highlight some key research findings based on SEBAS, discuss the main strengths and weaknesses of the data, and outline how users may obtain the data.
<br>
<br>ABOUT THE STUDY
<br>SEBAS is a nationally representative longitudinal survey of Taiwanese middle-aged and older adults. It adds the collection of biomarkers and performance assessments to the Taiwan Longitudinal Study of Aging (TLSA), a nationally representative study of adults aged 60 and over, including the institutionalized population. The TLSA began in 1989, with follow-ups approximately every 3 years; younger refresher cohorts were added in 1996 and 2003. The first wave of SEBAS, based on a sub-sample of respondents from the 1999 TLSA, was conducted in 2000. A total of 1023 respondents completed both a face-to-face home interview and, several weeks later, a hospital-based physical examination—including a 12-hour overnight urine specimen, fasting blood specimen, and measurements of blood pressure and anthropometry. A second wave of SEBAS was conducted in 2006 using a similar protocol to SEBAS 2000, but with the addition of performance assessments conducted by the interviewers at the end of the home interview. Both waves of SEBAS also included measures of health status (physical, emotional, cognitive), health behaviors, social relationships and exposure to stressors.
