Series Information

The Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health is the second round of the survey. Data was collected for the World Health Survey (WHS/SAGE Wave 0) in 2002 but none of these households were followed up in Wave 1. SAGE surveys are designed by the World Health Organization and implemented by national agencies in participating countries.

Abstract

Objectives:
To obtain reliable, valid and comparable health, health-related and well-being data over a range of key domains for adult and older adult populations in nationally representative samples
To examine patterns and dynamics of age-related changes in health and well-being using longitudinal follow-up of a cohort as they age, and to investigate socio-economic consequences of these health changes
To supplement and cross-validate self-reported measures of health and the anchoring vignette approach to improving comparability of self-reported measures, through measured performance tests for selected health domains
To collect health examination and biomarker data that improves reliability of morbidity and risk factor data and to objectively monitor the effect of interventions

Additional Objectives:
To generate large cohorts of older adult populations and comparison cohorts of younger populations for following-up intermediate outcomes, monitoring trends, examining transitions and life events, and addressing relationships between determinants and health, well-being and health-related outcomes
To develop a mechanism to link survey data to demographic surveillance site data
To build linkages with other national and multi-country ageing studies
To improve the methodologies to enhance the reliability and validity of health outcomes and determinants data
To provide a public-access information base to engage all stakeholders, including national policy makers and health systems planners, in planning and decision-making processes about the health and well-being of older adults

Methods:
SAGE's first full round of data collection included both follow-up and new respondents in most participating countries. The goal of the sampling design was to obtain a nationally representative cohort of persons aged 50 years and older, with a smaller cohort of persons aged 18 to 49 for comparison purposes. In the older households, all persons aged 50+ years (for example, spouses and siblings) were invited to participate. Proxy respondents were identified for respondents who were unable to respond for themselves. Standardized SAGE survey instruments were used in all countries consisting of five main parts: 1) household questionnaire; 2) individual questionnaire; 3) proxy questionnaire; and, 4) appendices including showcards. The procedures for including country-specific adaptations to the standardized questionnaire and translations into local languages from English follow those developed by and used for the World Health Survey.

Coverage

Geographic Coverage

Municipality of Shanghai

Universe

The household section of the survey covered all households in the municipality of Shanghai. Institutionalised populations are excluded. The individual section covered all persons aged 18 years and older residing within individual households. As the focus of SAGE is older adults, a much larger sample of respondents aged 50 years and older were selected with a smaller comparative sample of respondents aged 18-49 years

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

Shanghai comprises 19 districts. These are divided into suburbs and downtowns which is based on their geographical location and socioeconomic status. The Downtowns include: Huangpu, Luwan, Zhabei, Hongkou, Jing'an, Changning, Xuhui, Putuo, Yangpu. And the Suburbs include Minhang, Pudong, Nanhui, Qingpu, Songjiang, Jiading, Baoshan, Jinshan, Fengxian, Chongming. Shanghai used a stratified multistage cluster sample design.
Five districts were sampled. Strata were defined by the five districts(Luwan, Hongkoui ,Qingpu, Minhang and Nanhui).
From each district 4 communities/townships were selected probability proportional to size; the measure of size being the number of households in the community/township.
From each community/township 2 residential blocks/villages were selected probability proportional to size; the measure of size being the number of households in the residential blocks/villages.
In each selected residential block/village 84 households were randomly selected:70 50 plus households and 14 18-49 households.
All 50 plus members of the 50 plus households were eligible for the individual interview. One person aged 18-49 was eligible for the individual interview, and the individual to be included was selected using a Kish Grid.

Stages of selection
Strata: District=5
PSU: Township/Community=20 surveyed
SSU: Village/Neighbourhood Community=40 surveyed
TSU: Households=6720 surveyed
QSU: Individuals=9524 surveyed

Response Rate

Household
Response rate=89%
Cooperation rate=99%

Individual:

Cooperation rate=99%

Weighting

Household weights for analysis at household level and individual weights for analysis at person level were calculated. These were based on the selection probability at each stage of selection. Household weights are post-stratified by districts according to the 2008 household projections provided by China CDC and weight up to the total number of households in the five districts. Individual weights are post-stratified by district, sex and age groups (18-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+) according to the 2008 population projections provided by China CDC and weight up to the total number of persons aged 18+. A second set of household and individual weights are available which are post stratified to weight up to the entire household and 18+ populations respectively in Shanghai. Weights are not normalized

Questionnaires

The questionnaires were based on the WHS Model Questionnaire with some modification and many new additions. A household questionnaire was administered to all households eligible for the study. An Individual questionniare was administered to eligible respondents identified from the household roster. A Proxy questionnaire was administered to individual respondents who had cognitive limitations. The questionnaires were developed in English and were piloted as part of the SAGE pretest in 2005. All documents were translated into Chinese. All SAGE generic questionnaires are available as external resources.
