Cohort study: Prospective
Sampling procedure
The SNAC-K population consists of a random sample of individuals aged 60˗104 years living both at home and in institutions in Kungsholmen, Stockholm in the central part of Sweden. The random sample was stratified by age cohort and year of assessment and an oversampling of those aged 60 years respectively > 81 years of age was conducted for all the SNAC studies. In SNAC-K, eleven age cohorts were chosen (60, 66, 72, 78, 81, 84, 87, 90, 93, 96, and 99) with six year intervals for the younger cohorts and three years for the older cohorts (≥78 years).
During the baseline examination in 2001-04, 3363 individuals were included (response rate 73.3%). Participants who are 78 years of age or older are followed up every three years, while for those aged 60 to 72 years, follow-up will take place every six years. Data have been collected at seven waves over a total of 20 years and is ongoing.
