About BLSA

The National Institute on Aging’s Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging is America's longest-running scientific study of human aging. Started 1958, BLSA answers critical questions about what happens as people get older. Study findings have helped distinguish changes due to normal aging and those due to disease or other causes.
