SAGE is part of the unit's Longitudinal Study Programme which is compiling longitudinal data on the health and well-being of adult populations, and the ageing process, through primary data collection and secondary data analysis.  SAGE baseline data (Wave 0, 2002\/3) was collected as part of WHO's World Health Survey http:\/\/www.who.int\/healthinfo\/survey\/en\/index.html (WHS). SAGE Wave 1 (2007\/10) provides a comprehensive data set on the health and well-being of adults in six low and middle-income countries: China, Ghana, India, Mexico, Russian Federation and South Africa.\nObjectives: \nTo obtain reliable, valid and comparable health, health-related and well-being data over a range of key domains for adult and older adult populations in nationally representative samples \nTo examine patterns and dynamics of age-related changes in health and well-being using longitudinal follow-up of a cohort as they age, and to investigate socio-economic consequences of these health changes \nTo supplement and cross-validate self-reported measures of health and the anchoring vignette approach to improving comparability of self-reported measures, through measured performance tests for selected health domains \nTo collect health examination and biomarker data that improves reliability of morbidity and risk factor data and to objectively monitor the effect of interventions \nAdditional Objectives:\nTo generate large cohorts of older adult populations and comparison cohorts of younger populations for following-up intermediate outcomes, monitoring trends, examining transitions and life events, and addressing relationships between determinants and health, well-being and health-related outcomes \nTo develop a mechanism to link survey data to demographic surveillance site data \nTo build linkages with other national and multi-country ageing studies \nTo improve the methodologies to enhance the reliability and validity of health outcomes and determinants data \nTo provide a public-access information base to engage all stakeholders, including national policy makers and health systems planners, in planning and decision-making processes about the health and well-being of older adults \nMethods: \nSAGE's first full round of data collection included both follow-up and new respondents in most participating countries. The goal of the sampling design was to obtain a nationally representative cohort of persons aged 50 years and older, with a smaller cohort of persons aged 18 to 49 for comparison purposes. In the older households, all persons aged 50+ years (for example, spouses and siblings) were invited to participate. Proxy respondents were identified for respondents who were unable to respond for themselves. Standardized SAGE survey instruments were used in all countries consisting of five main parts: 1) household questionnaire; 2) individual questionnaire; 3) proxy questionnaire; 4) verbal autopsy questionnaire; and, 5) appendices including showcards. A VAQ was completed for deaths in the household over the last 24 months. The procedures for including country-specific adaptations to the standardized questionnaire and translations into local languages from English follow those developed by and used for the World Health Survey.\nContent\nHousehold questionnaire\n0000 Coversheet \n0100 Sampling Information \n0200 Geocoding and GPS Information \n0300 Recontact Information \n0350 Contact Record \n0400 Household Roster \n0450 Kish Tables and Household Consent \n0500 Housing \n0600 Household and Family Support Networks and Transfers \n0700 Assets and Household Income \n0800 Household Expenditures \n0900 Interviewer Observations \nIndividual questionnaire\n1000 Socio-Demographic Characteristics \n1500 Work History and Benefits \n2000 Health State Descriptions and Vignettes \n2500 Anthropometrics, Performance Tests and Biomarkers \n3000 Risk Factors and Preventive Health Behaviours \n4000 Chronic Conditions and Health Services Coverage \n5000 Health Care Utilization \n6000 Social Cohesion \n7000 Subjective Well-Being and Quality of Life (WHOQoL-8 and Day Reconstruction Method) \n8000 Impact of Caregiving \n9000 Interviewer Assessment","coll_dates":[{"start":"2007-01","end":"2008-11","cycle":""}],"nation":[{"name":"South Africa","abbreviation":"ZAF"}],"geog_coverage":"National coverage","analysis_unit":"households  and individuals","universe":"The household section of the survey covered all households in all nine provinces in South Africa.

Strata were defined by the nine provinces:(Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, Kwa-Zulu Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape and Western Cape), locality (urban or rural), and predominant race group (African\/Black, White, Coloured and Indian\/Asian), as not all combinations of stratification variables were possible, there were 50 strata in total. \nThe Human Science Research Council's master sample was used as the sampling frame which comprised 1000EAs. \nA sample of 600 EAs was selected as the primary sampling units(PSU). The number of EAs to be selected from each strata was based on proportional allocation (determined by the number of EAs in each strataspecified on the Master Sample). EAs were then selected from each strata with probability proportional to size; the measure of size being the number of individuals aged 50 years or more in the EA. \nIn each selected EA 30 households were randomly selected from the Master Sample.\nA listing of the 30 selected households was conducted to classify each household into one of two mutually exclusive categories:\n(1) households with one or more members aged 50 years or more (defined as '50 plus households');\n(2) households which did not include any members aged 50 years or more, but included residents aged 18-49 (defined as '18-49 households'). \nAll 50 plus households were eligible for the household interview, and all 50 plus members of the household were eligible for the individual interview. \nTwo of the remaining 18-49 households were randomly selected for the household interview. \nIn each of these household one person aged 18-49 was eligible for the individual interview, and the individual to be included was selected using a Kish Grid.\n\nStages of selection\nStrata: Province, Predominant Race Group, Locality=50\nPSU:    EAs=408 surveyed\nSSU:    Households=4020 surveyed\nTSU:    Individual=4227 surveyed","sampling_deviation":"Originally 600 EAs were drawn into the sample.

A household questionnaire was administered to all households eligible for the study. A Verbal Autopsy questionnaire was administered to households that had a death in the last 24 months. An Individual questionnaire was administered to eligible respondents identified from the household roster. A Proxy questionnaire was administered to individual respondents  who had cognitive limitations. The questionnaires were developed in English and were piloted as part of the SAGE pretest in 2005. All documents were translated into six of the major languages in South Africa: Afrikaans, IsiZulu, IsiXhosa, Sepedi, Setswana and Xitsonga. All SAGE generic questionnaires are available as external resources.","coll_situation":"The SAGE instrument was pre-tested in 2005 in India, Ghana and Tanzania. Just over 1500 persons were interviewed in total.  Fieldworker training workshop was held the week of 15 January 2007 at the HSRC in Pretoria. The field work team consisted of 9 Field Coordinators from the HSRC who provided overall field coordination and supervision, 13 Supervisors and 50 interviewers. Each of the 9 provinces had a field coordinator. With the exception of Gauteng and Kwa-Zulu Natal which had 2 supervisors, the remaining 7 provinces had a single supervisor. Supervisors were responsible for teams ranging from 3-6 persons.
