Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam
Aging research and collecting data on aging in the Netherlands

The Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA) is a scientific study to determine predictors and consequences of aging. Since 1991, LASA has studied the physical, emotional, cognitive and social functioning of the elderly in the Netherlands. Within LASA the interdependence of these domains of functioning and of the changes that occur over time is being investigated. In this respect LASA stands out from most other studies of aging.
