About the SAGE Study

The UCSD Successful Aging Evaluation (SAGE) Study is a prospective cohort study of 1,800 randomly selected, demographically representative, community-dwelling residents of San Diego County who are twenty-one years of age and older. This longitudinal study focuses on the cognitive and emotional aspects of successful aging across the lifespan. All participants in the cohort completed a brief telephone interview and an extensive, annual mail-in survey questionnaire that covers a broad range of topics related to successful aging.

Our dataset offers a rich resource for researchers aiming to explore the determinants of aging and longevity. It encompasses various dimensions such as physical health metrics, social engagement, positive psychological scales, and quality of life measures, providing a holistic view of aging dynamics. By leveraging this data, researchers can investigate valuable questions related to the impact of lifestyle choices, aging-related diseases, intervention strategies, and more.

Call to Researchers

We invite UCSD students, trainees, and researchers interested in the field of aging and healthy aging to utilize this unique dataset. Join us in advancing our understanding of aging and contribute to the development of innovative solutions for promoting healthier and higher quality of life across the lifespan.
