Excerpt from Intramural Annual Report, 1993 Study Development: When the Program began approximately 15 years ago, descriptive data on aging and age-related diseases were lacking or concentrated in studies of a single disease, e.g., coronary heart disease or diabetes. Three community studies (epese) were created to fill the information gap, and they have provided much new and important data on health status in older persons. For example, a new estimate of Alzheimer's disease frequency was reported from the East Boston, Massachusetts population. More recently, as a result of careful review and planning, data collection in these first - generation studies is now being completed; and direct contract support is being phased out. However, a study at one of the sites, focusing on black-white differences among elderly living in the Piedmont area of North Carolina will continue for 4 years. These studies have provided much useful data, which are yielding a great many valuable reports that are now being published by edbp staff and collaborating scientists.
