The Longitudinal Study of Health and Ageing in Kenya

LOSHAK is a joint collaboration between the Department of Population Health at Aga Khan University in Nairobi, Kenya and the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at University of Michigan, USA. It is modeled on the U.S.-based Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP). The study will address pressing health, policy, and economic issues that are of rapidly growing importance in Kenya and throughout Sub-Saharan Africa.
