The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is a nationally representative longitudinal survey of more than 37 000 individuals over age 50 in 23 000 households in the USA. The survey, which has been fielded every 2 years since 1992, was established to provide a national resource for data on the changing health and economic circumstances associated with ageing at both individual and population levels. Its multidisciplinary approach is focused on four broad topics-income and wealth; health, cognition and use of healthcare services; work and retirement; and family connections. HRS data are also linked at the individual level to administrative records from Social Security and Medicare, Veteran's Administration, the National Death Index and employer-provided pension plan information. Since 2006, data collection has expanded to include biomarkers and genetics as well as much greater depth in psychology and social context. This blend of economic, health and psychosocial information provides unprecedented potential to study increasingly complex questions about ageing and retirement. The HRS has been a leading force for rapid release of data while simultaneously protecting the confidentiality of respondents. Three categories of data-public, sensitive and restricted-can be accessed through procedures described on the HRS website (hrsonline.isr.umich.edu).
健康与退休研究（HRS）是一项具有全国代表性的纵向调查，涉及美国23000个家庭中37000多名50岁以上的个体。该调查自1992年起每两年进行一次，旨在提供一个全国性资源，以获取有关个人和人口层面与老龄化相关的健康和经济状况变化的数据。其多学科方法聚焦于四个广泛主题——收入与财富；健康、认知与医疗服务使用；工作与退休；以及家庭关系。HRS数据在个体层面还与社会保障和医疗保险、退伍军人管理局、国家死亡指数以及雇主提供的养老金计划信息等行政记录相关联。自2006年以来，数据收集范围已扩大到包括生物标志物和遗传学，以及在心理学和社会背景方面更深入的内容。这种经济、健康和心理社会信息的融合为研究日益复杂的老龄化和退休问题提供了前所未有的潜力。HRS一直是数据快速发布的主导力量，同时保护受访者的隐私。三类数据——公开数据、敏感数据和受限数据——可通过HRS网站（hrsonline.isr.umich.edu）上描述的程序获取。
