Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Existing member of the CAS-HA cohort
2. Responded to the 3-year Follow-up Health Questionnaire
3. Provided written informed consent to further contact at 3-year follow-up stage
4. Male & female participants
5. Lower Age Limit 50 years

Exclusion criteria: 1. Participants who have died since 3-year follow-up
2. Participants who have become vulnerable (e.g. participants with known new-onset dementia, serious/terminal pathology) since their baseline assessment as judged by the lead GP at each practice
3. Participants who have withdrawn consent to further contact following the 3-year follow-up

We are keen to avoid upsetting or burdening participants and their relatives whose circumstances may have changed. Prior to any contacts being made for 6-year follow-up we will check to ensure that the mailing list contains no participants who have died. This means checking the mailing list at each practice. We are also including a screen of the mailing list by the lead GP at each practice to identify and exclude those participants who have become vulnerable since the screen was last conducted.
