Description

This data set refers to a Food Frequency Questionnaire which was sent during Wave 3 of the surveys to the mid-age cohort of women aged 50-55 years. Variables include the consumption of alcohol, different foods and drink. ALSWH began in 1996, and consisted of three cohorts; the 1973-1978 (Young) cohort, the 1946-1951 (Mid-age) cohort, and the 1921-1926 (Old-age) cohort. Each cohort received a different questionnaire, which varied in the types of questions asked. In essence, the surveys covered issues regarding overall physical and emotional health, use of health services, education and employment status, drug and/or alcohol use, diet, exercise, and family situation. The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health is managed by staff and investigators at the Priority Research Centre for Gender, Health and Ageing at, The University of Newcastle, and staff and investigators at the University of Queensland.
