Likewise, people ask, how is longitudinal research design applied to the aging population?
Longitudinal studies are key to understanding patterns of ageing and the services which an ageing population is likely to require [1]. Only a longitudinal design can yield information about the dynamics of change as people age, and can thereby suggest how outcomes might be linked to putative in¯uences.
Accordingly, how were the participants in the Tracking cohort of the CLSA recruited? In the Tracking cohort, participants were recruited across the 10 provinces, and all questionnaire measures are collected by computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI) administered through CLSA CATI sites established in four regions across Canada to accommodate different time zones and language (English or French) …
