The Health, Aging, and Later-Life Outcomes Pilot Study: Design, recruitment, and participants' baseline characteristics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multi-morbidity increases significantly with age, and obesity is a major risk factor for conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes, indicating a critical need for effective interventions.

Objective
