Project aim(s):
As Australia’s population ages, the need to identify and understand the correlates of mental health problems in middle to old aged Australians and the predictors of healthy ageing in relation to mental wellbeing is becoming increasingly urgent. This project will explore the relationships between indicators of mental health problems and their correlates amongst the 45 and Up Study cohort at baseline and the information derived from these analyses will underpin future analyses using linked data.
