Project Summary

Four multi-study analysis projects are based on cross-sectional data from CLSA, HRS, ELSA, and TILDA and focus on cross-national comparison of disease and disability (function). These projects are intended to be closely related in terms of data required and based on core analytic models to permit multiple publications from a single analysis workshop. The projects are 1) Disease and disadvantage across Canada, UK, USA, and Ireland; 2) Cross-country comparison of multimorbidity clusters stratified by age and sex; 3) Cross-country comparison of age and sex differences in associations between multimorbidity and physical functioning; and 4) Cross-national comparison of the association between social isolation, multimorbidity, and physical functioning.
