Type: User Guides
Publication date: November 2011

This User Guide contains information about the third release of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) Index File. This file may be considered to be a master file that provides links between the different Waves of ELSA and currently gives information relating to Waves 0, 1, 2 and 3. It is envisaged that equivalent information will be added for subsequent Waves, and that a new version of the file will be made available in 2010, which will contain information from Wave 4 as well as additional variables from earlier Waves.
