Social networks are considered an important factor in healthy ageing. It is argued that positive connections to people can sustain well-being and quality of life and contribute to independent living. This study, in conducting a follow-up survey of 100,000 participants, will profile the distributions of social interactions by demographic characteristics and examine its relationship with health practices and health status.
