Prospective RELOC-AGE: How Do Housing Choices and Relocation Matter for Active Ageing? (Prospective RELOC-AGE)
Prospective RELOC-AGE aims to understand how housing and relocation affect active and healthy ageing in Sweden. The study recruited individuals aged 55 years and older who had an intention to relocate. Baseline was conducted in 2021 with almost 2,000 participants, and participants have been followed-up in 2022 and 2024 through questionnaires and interviews. There are plans to follow participants for at least six years with the next data collection waves in 2026 and 2028.
