On behalf of the LSAHA team, we extend a warm welcome to our website! LSAHA (the Lebanon Study on Aging and HeAlth) is grateful for your decision to participate in this important study. The purpose of LSAHA is to further our understanding of how adults in Lebanon age, how they can live a healthy life in older age and which types of health risks and challenges they may face. Through your participation, you are providing valuable new data on the health and well-being of Lebanon’s older population that will be critical in shaping the future of healthy aging in Lebanon.

LSAHA is part of the growing worldwide network of harmonized studies modeled after the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). It’s a representative, longitudinal study that collects information on cognition and other health, economic and social domains relevant to understanding the challenges of population aging in Lebanon.
