Description

The Betula Project is a longitudinal study of aging, memory and dementia. Data was collected through six waves between 1988–2014: 1988-1990 (test wave 1); 1993-1995 (test wave 2); 1998-2000 (test wave 3); 2003-2005 (test wave 4); 2008-2010 (test wave 5); 2013-2014 (test wave 6).

For each test wave participants completed a thorough physical examination with blood tests of a nurse and a careful examination of a memory tester. There are data collected from approximately 4,700 participants. On each occasion, data for about 2000 variables were collected for each participant, which includes data on demographics, health, illness, medication, social and cognitive factors.

The Betula project has received funding for research infrastructures (large databases) from the Swedish Research Council. This means a major effort to make the Betula database available to researchers outside the project through collaborations with researchers within the Betula project. To the Betulas database, genetic data and biological samples are also connected.

Purpose:
Study how memory functions change during adult life, to identify risk factors for dementia and to identify early preclinical signs of dementia and determine the critical factors of successful aging. Show less..

Cohort study

Cohort study: Prospective

Description of study design

The study began with including 1000 randomly selected individuals from the Umeå municipality in the age groups 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 and 80 years. It was 100 in each age cohort, and the gender distribution was similar to the population with about as many men as women in the younger age groups, and about twice as many women as men in the age groups 70 and over. Over the course of the study five more samples was added with varying age span between 25-95 years old.

Sampling procedure

Probability: Stratified
1000 individuals in age groups 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75 and 80 were randomly selected (sample 1, S1). There were 100 individuals i each age cohort, the gender distribution reflected the gender distribution in the population ie about as many men as women in the younger age groups and about twice as many women as men from age group 70 and above (test occasion 1, T1) In T2, five years later, two new samples were added to the group, S2 (ca 1000, age 35-80) and S3 (ca 960, age 40-85). At T3 sample 4 was added (ca 500, age 35-90). At T4, sample 5 was added (ca 500, age 35-95) and at T5 sample 6 was added (ca 350, age 25-80).
