Innovative approaches to methodological challenges facing ageing cohort studies Workshop 2: Methodological challenges associated with frailty and vulnerability in ageing populations Monday 28 November 2011 11:00 - 16:30, Room 1.69/70, Humanities Bridgeford Street, University of Manchester The workshop brings together researchers and experts from different disciplines on the topic of frailty and vulnerability in ageing populations. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss common methodological challenges in relation to frailty and vulnerability in ageing cohort studies. All longitudinal studies face common problems of wanting to keep existing instruments for repeated and change analyses, while newer instruments are developed. For ageing studies, this problem becomes particularly acute as the mode of data collection may need to change due to increasing problems with sight, hearing and cognition. This workshop will focus on how some of the ageing studies have responded to these challenges.
