The information collected during the telephone interview included health habits, knowledge and attitudes about cardiovascular risk factors and signs and symptoms of heart disease and stroke, management of cardiovascular risk, morbidity diagnosed by a physician, self-rated health and health-related quality of life, use of health care services and socioeconomic status.

During the face-to-face interview information was collected about use of medication, functional limitations, consumption of foods and Spanish food dishes, and eating behaviors.

Blood pressure, weight, height, and arm, waist and hip circumferences were measured.

Blood and urine were also collected.

Blood pressure, weight, height, and arm, waist and hip circumferences were measured. Blood was also collected.

Sociodemographic and lifestyle data were collected, including sex, age, educational level, hometown, tobacco smoking status, and alcohol consumption. Information on lifestyle, health status, morbidity, and use of health-care services was also assessed. Physician-diagnosed morbidities and the number of medications taken were self-reported. Food consumption was assessed using a validated diet history. Energy intake was estimated from diet history and food composition tables, and diet quality was assessed through the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener (MEDAS). Depression was assessed using the 10-item Geriatric Depression Scale. Sedentary behaviour, physical activity, hearing, vision, vitality, functional impairment (BADLs and IADLs), and intrinsic capacity were also assessed.

Cognition was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination test.

Height and weight were measured. Physical performance, locomotion, movement behaviours, and physical function in older adults were assessed, including through accelerometry.

Blood and urine samples were collected.

Intrinsic capacity was measured using an intrinsic capacity score computed based on the six domains proposed by WHO in the Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) framework (ie, locomotion, psychology, cognition, hearing, vision, and vitality). Participants’ independence in performing basic activities of daily living (BADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) was assessed using the Katz index and Lawton index respectively. Functional impairment and vitality were also assessed.

Cognition was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination test.

A Short Physical Performance Battery, including handgrip strength assessment, was performed. Audiometry was also performed to assess hearing.
