The Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS) is a longitudinal study using a national sample of approximately 15 000 community-dwelling adults aged 50 years old and older in Mexico. Spanning over 20 years (2001-2021), six waves of data collection establish the MHAS as the leading data platform for the study of aging in Latin America. The MHAS has a conceptual framework based on a life course approach and uses a broad socioeconomic perspective.
