Cuban Health and Alzheimer Study (10/66 Cuba)
10/66 Cuba recruited adults at least 65 years old from Matanzas and the larger Havana Province in Cuba. Participants were at least 65 years old and able to give informed consent. This resulted in a baseline cohort of over 2,900 participants of varying socioeconomic, educational, marital, and occupational backgrounds.
