Description of study design:
H70 started in 1971 with the recruitment of 973 70-year-olds born in 1901-02 and participants have been intermittently followed for up to 30 years. Additional birth cohorts of 70-year-olds as well as 75-year-olds have also been studied and all cohorts have been followed to some extent longitudinally. Continuous follow-ups have taken place from the age of 75 and some cohorts have been followed up until participants are 100 years old. In autumn 2019, the 75-year follow-up of the latest H70 cohort born in 1944 started.
