abstract = {The CARLA study (Cardiovascular Disease, Living and Ageing
in Halle) is a longitudinal population-based cohort study of
the general population of the city of Halle (Saale),
Germany. The primary aim of the cohort was to investigate
risk factors for cardiovascular diseases based on
comprehensive cardiological phenotyping of study
participants and was extended to study factors associated
with healthy ageing. In total, 1779 probands (812 women and
967 men, aged 45-83 years) were examined at baseline
(2002-2005), with a first and second follow-up performed 4
and 8 years later. The response proportion at baseline was
$64.1\%$ and the reparticipation proportion for the first
and second follow-up was $86\%$ and $77\%$ respectively.
Sixty-four percent of the study participants were in
retirement while $25\%$ were full- or partially-employed and
$11\%$ were unemployed at the time of the baseline
examination. The currently running third follow-up focuses
on the assessment of physical and mental health, with an
intensive 4 h examination program, including measurement of
cardiovascular, neurocognitive, balance and gait parameters.
The data collected in the CARLA Study resulted in answering
various research questions in over 80 publications, of which
two thirds were pooled analyses with other similar
population-based studies. Due to the extensiveness of
information on risk factors, subclinical conditions and
evident diseases, the biobanking concept for the biosamples,
the cohort representativeness of an elderly population, and
the high level of quality assurance, the CARLA cohort offers
a unique platform for further research on important
indicators for healthy ageing.},
