Life in Your Early 60s Survey

We are pleased to announce that we have now restarted the Life in Your Early 60s Survey. It will take us around 18 months to get round to interviewing you all, so it may be some months before you receive your invitation to take part. In the meantime, find out more about what the survey involves.

What have we learned?

NCDS is one of the most important sources of information anywhere in the world on what factors can influence our chances in life. Find out more about what we've learned about key areas of life including pregnancy, education, health and employment.

Surveys

We come to visit you at important ages to see how your lives have changed - and how they've stayed the same. Since your parents were first interviewed when you were born, there have been ten further surveys of NCDS study members. Find out more about each survey in the surveys section.
