The Norwegian Survey of Health and Ageing (NORSE) was set up to provide internationally comparable data on ageing in Norway, which includes measured intrinsic capacity and cognitive function.
NORSE is a population-based health examination study of seniors aged 60+ from the 1921-1958 birth cohorts in the former Norwegian county of Oppland, interviewed and examined during 2017-19 (N = 957, 16% response rate). NORSE is to some extent based on the SHARE-questionnaire ( share-project.org ), which includes work-related information, self-assessed and retrospective health, and expectations on longevity, quality of life, volunteering activities, consumption, and financial arrangements. In addition, several objective measures of intrinsic and cognitive capacity are included in NORSE.
A shorter preferred life expectancy (PLE) was found to be associated with the prospects of a life with dementia and chronic pain. Motivation for retirement was found to be related to work-life experience and health. Social media was mostly used in the younger age groups and there was a tendency towards more use in the higher educational groups. NORSE incorporates questions on religion, and older women tend to have a higher degree of religiosity (proxied as self-assessed religiosity) than men in their 80s, but more similar (and lower levels) among those in their 60s.
NORSE participants have allowed their data to be linked to National registry data and midlife health examination studies and thereby provide a longitudinal design as well as information on disability status, socioeconomic status, household and marital status, support to/from children and parents, and pension status.
挪威健康老龄化调查（NORSE）旨在提供挪威老龄化的国际可比数据，其中包括测量的内在能力和认知功能。
NORSE 是一项针对来自前挪威奥普兰县的 1921-1958 年出生队列的 60 岁以上老年人的基于人群的健康检查研究，于 2017-19 年期间接受了访谈和检查（N=957，响应率为 16%）。NORSE 在某种程度上基于 SHARE 问卷（share-project.org），其中包括与工作相关的信息、自我评估和回顾性健康以及对长寿、生活质量、志愿活动、消费和财务安排的期望。此外，NORSE 还包括内在和认知能力的几个客观测量指标。
较短的预期寿命（PLE）与痴呆和慢性疼痛相关的生活前景有关。退休动机与工作生活经历和健康有关。社交媒体主要在年轻人群中使用，而在受教育程度较高的人群中使用的趋势更高。NORSE 包含关于宗教的问题，而且年龄较大的女性在 80 多岁时比男性更具有宗教信仰（表现为自我评估的宗教信仰），但在 60 多岁时则更为相似（且信仰水平较低）。
NORSE 参与者允许将其数据与国家登记数据和中年健康检查研究相关联，从而提供了纵向设计以及残疾状况、社会经济地位、家庭和婚姻状况、子女和父母的支持、养老金状况等信息。
