Register RELOC-AGE
Register RELOC-AGE aims to understand how housing and relocation affect active and healthy ageing in Sweden. The cohort includes over three million participants aged 55 years and older, and their partners irrespective of their age, totalling over five million individuals. Participants were recruited from the Swedish Total Population Register between 1987 and 2016, and have been followed up yearly since 1987 using data from national Swedish registers and a regional database.
