Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA)

Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) www.clsa-elcv.ca. The CLSA is a strategic initiative of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Drs.

The Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) is a national research study that will follow 50,000 men and women aged 45 and 85 for 20 years. The CLSA will collect information on the changing biological, medical, psychological, social, and economic aspects of people’s lives. These factors will be studied in order to understand how, individually and in combination, they have an impact in both maintaining health and in the development of disease and disability as people age. The CLSA will be one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind undertaken to date, not only in Canada but around the world. Dr. Parminder Raina (McMaster University, Hamilton) is the lead Principal Investigator of the CLSA. Christina Wolfson (McGill University, Montreal) and Susan Kirkland (Dalhousie University, Halifax) are Co-Principal Investigators of the CLSA. Raina, Wolfson and Kirkland, along with a team of more than 160 investigators and collaborators from several Canadian universities have participated in the development of this innovative, interdisciplinary study.

Il n’est jamais trop t**d pour rebondir!

Les chercheuses Mabel Ho et Esme Fuller-Thomson de la Faculté de travail social Factor-Inwentash de l’Université de Toronto ont découvert que près d’un quart des participantes et participants à l’ÉLCV ayant déclaré ne pas se sentir bien au début de l’étude, en raison de douleurs, de problèmes de santé, de déprime ou d’isolement, ont rapporté un bien-être optimal en seulement trois ans.

« Ce n’est pas simplement une histoire de résilience, c’est une feuille de route pour aider plus de personnes âgées à se rétablir et à s’épanouir », affirme Mabel Ho, première autrice de l’étude.

It's never too late to bounce back!

Researchers Mabel Ho and Esme Fuller-Thomson at The Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto, found that nearly one in four CLSA participants who reported poor well-being at the beginning of the study —due to pain, health issues, low mood, or isolation—reported optimal well-being within just three years.

This isn’t just a story of resilience—it’s a roadmap for how we can help more older adults recover and thrive,” says first author Mabel Ho.
