As the number and proportion of very old people in the population increase, there is a need for improved knowledge about their health and living conditions. The SWEOLD interview surveys are based on random samples of the population aged 77+years. The low non-response rates, the inclusion of institutionalized persons and the use of proxy informants for people unable to be interviewed directly ensure a representative portrayal of this age group in Sweden. SWEOLD began in 1992 and has been repeated in 2002, 2004 and 2011. The survey is based on another national survey, the Swedish Level of Living Survey (LNU), started in 1968 with 10-year follow-up waves. This longitudinal design provides additional data collected when SWEOLD participants were in middle age and early old age. The SWEOLD interviews cover a wide range of areas including health and health behaviour, work history, family, leisure activities and use of health and social care services. Socio-economic factors include education, previous occupation and available cash margin. Health indicators include symptoms, diseases, mobility and activities of daily living (ADL). In addition to self-reported data, the interview includes objective tests of lung function, physical function, grip strength and cognition. The data have been linked to register data, for example for income and mortality follow-ups. Data are available to the scientific community on request. More information about the study, data access rules and how to apply for data are available at the website (www.sweold.se).
随着人口中高龄老人数量及其所占比例的增加，有必要更好地了解他们的健康状况和生活条件。瑞典老年纵向调查（SWEOLD）访谈调查基于对77岁及以上人口的随机抽样。低无应答率、纳入机构养老人员以及对无法直接接受访谈的人员使用代理 informant，确保了对瑞典这个年龄组的代表性描述。SWEOLD始于1992年，并在2002年、2004年和2011年进行了重复调查。该调查基于另一项全国性调查——瑞典生活水平调查（LNU），后者始于1968年，每10年进行一次跟踪调查。这种纵向设计提供了SWEOLD参与者中年和老年早期时收集的额外数据。SWEOLD访谈涵盖广泛领域，包括健康与健康行为、工作经历、家庭、休闲活动以及健康和社会护理服务的使用情况。社会经济因素包括教育程度、以前的职业和可用现金余额。健康指标包括症状、疾病、行动能力和日常生活活动（ADL）。除了自我报告的数据外，访谈还包括肺功能、身体功能、握力和认知方面的客观测试。这些数据已与登记数据相链接，例如用于收入和死亡率跟踪。科学界可根据要求获取这些数据。有关该研究、数据访问规则以及如何申请数据的更多信息可在网站（www.sweold.se）上获取。
