Abstract

The 2018 Longitudinal Study on Ageing and Health in the Philippines (LSAHP) is a survey with a nationally representative sample of 5,985 respondents aged 60 years and above (referred to as older persons or OPs) living in households. OPs living in institutions such as prisons, convents, seminaries, and the like were excluded from the study. The sample for the LSAHP is designed to produce results representative of the whole country, of urban and rural areas separately, and of the National Capital Region and each major island grouping – Balance Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

The LSAHP is a longitudinal study of a cohort of OPs. The 2018 round provides
information on the health status and well-being of older Filipinos. The survey
instruments used in 2018 will be used in the follow-up survey in 2020 to facilitate the measurement of various indicators (and outcomes) pertaining to OPs and the corresponding changes over time.
