We provide background information for a collection of articles that describe two-wave longitudinal findings derived from the first intensive follow-up of participants of the Berlin Aging Study (BASE). Multidisciplinary data were collected during 1995-1996 from 206 survivors approximately 4 years after baseline assessment (1990-1993). The strengths of the initial BASE design, in terms of a focus on very old age, multidisciplinary intensive assessment, and an examination of selectivity issues, were maintained in this longitudinal extension of the study.
我们为一组文章提供背景信息，这些文章描述了来自柏林老龄研究（BASE）参与者首次密集随访的两波纵向研究结果。多学科数据于1995 - 1996年收集，此时距离基线评估（1990 - 1993年）约4年，共有206名幸存者参与。该研究最初的设计优势，即专注于高龄、多学科密集评估以及对选择性问题的考察，在这项研究的纵向扩展中得以保留。
