I am trying to locate surveys/data sets that provide information about ageing and health in a number of countries in the Asian region - including, for example, the 2014 Myanmar Ageing Study, 2011 Viet Nam National Aging Study and SAGE India Waves 0-2; however, I cannot locate studies in Lao PDR, Malaysia, Nepal, and the Philippines. Any connections to colleagues/surveys and advice would be welcome.
Hello Paul,
During my PhD in Malaysia I worked for the Malaysian Elders Longitudinal Research (MELoR). We have collected a lot of data from older adults (about 1500 people). http://melor-um.weebly.com/
I am not in Malaysia and lost a bit touch. However, if you would like some more info or a contact then just let me know.
Best wishes,
Andre
Sorry I am not aware of any. You might contact Rachel at Help Age International.

Dear Paul
I echo what Andre Muller said and that was the link and contact I gave you a day or two ago
Best wishes

There is a national survey on food and health in Malaysia. I think there may be some data on elderly, but not sure. You can check the profile of Jean-Pierre Poulain in ResearchGate.
Thank you all. As an update - and extending the timeframe somewhat... I have connected with the PI of MELoR in Malaysia and Zach Zimmer about the 2004 Cambodia Elderly Survey.
I will chase up colleagues involved with GLAS, 2007 Philippine Study on Aging (PSOA), and Mental Health and Quality of Life of Older Malaysians.
Hi Paul, I have a copy of the PSOA 2007 study report if you need it (only published in 2016 though). We've also done some smaller scale surveys in the Philippines which you might be interested in, and done quite a bit of analysis in relation to old age using household and labour force surveys.
I know for sure that there's no study of this nature in Laos PDR. HelpAge wanted to get one off the ground a few years back but without success.
