Longitudinal Lifestyle Profiles and Health Outcomes in Aging Adults

966 dementia-free older adults from the InveCe.Ab cohort were tracked over 12 years. A multivariate longitudinal K-means clustering approach grouped participants based on patterns in six lifestyle habits. The study identified three distinct profiles, with the healthiest cluster showing better cognitive, mental, and physical trajectories.

Use Cases

• Clustering longitudinal lifestyle patterns based on six behavioral variables mentioned in the description
• Analyzing associations between lifestyle profiles and cognitive health measured by Mini-Mental State Examination
• Investigating links between social engagement and physical health outcomes measured by walking speed tests
• Modeling the impact of physical activity on trajectories of depression measured by Geriatric Depression Scale

Strengths

• 966 participants from a population-based cohort provide a substantial sample size
• 12-year longitudinal follow-up with at least three multidimensional assessments per participant
• Analysis includes six distinct lifestyle habits and three primary health outcome domains

Limitations

• Dataset size is 41.6 KB, indicating a very limited scope likely containing supplementary material rather than raw data
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
