The Korean Social Life, Health, and Aging Project (KSHAP) is a population-based longitudinal study of health determinants among elderly Koreans. The target population of the KSHAP are people aged 60 years or older and their spouses living in a rural community of Korea. A complete enumeration survey was conducted in the first wave of the KSHAP on 94.7% (814 of 860) of the target population between December 2011 and July 2012. The KSHAP-Health Examination (KSHAP-HE) cohort consists of 698 people who completed additional health examinations at a public health center (n=533) or at their home (n=165). Face-to-face questionnaires were used to interview participants on their demographics, social network characteristics, medical history, health behaviors, cognitive function, and depression symptoms. Health center examinations included anthropometric measures, body impedance analysis, resting blood pressure measurement, radial artery tonometry, bone densitometry, the timed up-and-go test, and fasting blood analysis. However, only anthropometric measures, blood pressure measurement, and non-fasting blood analysis were available for home health examinations. Collaboration is encouraged and access to the KSHAP baseline data will be available via the website of the Korean Social Science Data Archive (http://www.kossda.or.kr).

韩国社会生活、健康和老龄化项目（KSHAP）是一项针对韩国老年人健康决定因素的基于人群的纵向研究。KSHAP 的目标人群是年龄在 60 岁及以上的人和他们居住在韩国农村社区的配偶。在 2011 年 12 月至 2012 年 7 月期间，KSHAP 进行了第一波针对目标人群 94.7%（860 人中的 814 人）的完整普查。KSHAP-健康检查（KSHAP-HE）队列由 698 人组成，他们在公共卫生中心（n=533）或家中（n=165）完成了额外的健康检查。面对面的问卷用于采访参与者的人口统计学、社交网络特征、病史、健康行为、认知功能和抑郁症状。健康中心检查包括人体测量、身体阻抗分析、静息血压测量、桡动脉张力测量、骨密度测量、计时起立行走测试和空腹血液分析。然而，家庭健康检查仅提供人体测量、血压测量和非空腹血液分析。鼓励合作，可通过韩国社会科学数据档案网站（http://www.kossda.or.kr）获取 KSHAP 基线数据。
