LASI-DAD Webinar Series: Introduction to LASI-DAD Cognitive Assessment and Latent Cognitive Factor Scores
June 5, 2025, 8:00 AM Pacific Time

The Harmonized Diagnostic Assessment of Dementia for the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI-DAD) is an in-depth study of late-life cognition and dementia, drawing on a subsample of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI). LASI is a nationally representative survey of the health, economic status, and social well-being of the Indian population aged 45 and older. Its large sample of 72,000+ adults represent not only the country but also every state. To study late-life cognition and dementia in LASI-DAD, we recruited a sub-sample of 4,000+ LASI respondents aged 60 and older from 18 states and union territories across the country in Wave 1, expanding to 22 states in Wave 2.
