Cohort Profile: The Cambridge City over-75s Cohort (CC75C)

Abstract

The Cambridge City over-75s Cohort (CC75C), one of the largest and longest-running population-based studies of the oldest old, is celebrating its 21st birthday. Its origins and subsequent evolution into one of the UK's key ageing cohort studies lie in the collaboration of many distinguished researchers, and its ongoing importance owes much to the invaluable contribution made by its many committed participants.
