 A longitudinal study observes participants over a prolonged period of time to understand and track changes or developments. This type of research collects data from the same subjects repeatedly, allowing for the study of how specific variables change over time. 

 The Framingham Study is one of the most well-known longitudinal studies, primarily focusing on cardiovascular disease. While our Century Quest Study aims to explore longevity and daily habits, both studies employ the longitudinal method, collecting repeated data from the same participants over several years to detect patterns and changes. 

 The data collected will undergo various statistical analyses, including regression analysis, survival analysis, and multivariate analysis. These methods will help identify correlations, patterns, and significant factors related to longevity. 

 A larger sample size can provide more accurate and generalized results. If participants drop out, if there are inconsistent logs, or to improve the data analysis accuracy, it might be necessary to recruit additional participants. 

 Periodic interim analyses allow researchers to evaluate the collected data at different stages of the study. It can lead to adjustments in the study approach, ensuring validity and relevance. Based on these analyses, new questions might be added to the questionnaire to address emerging trends or gaps. 

 Analyzing calorie intake helps in understanding dietary patterns and energy consumption. It provides insights into the balance between calorie consumption and expenditure, and how it may relate to overall health and longevity.

Sleep is essential for overall well-being, and the duration and quality of sleep may affect longevity. By tracking sleep patterns, we can explore correlations between sleep and health outcomes and understand how variations in sleep might impact long-term health.

 Physical activity data, categorized by light, medium, or high intensity, helps in understanding how different types and levels of exercise may correlate with health and longevity. Analyzing this data can reveal insights into the optimal intensity and type of exercise for promoting a longer and healthier life.

Social interactions and relationships play a significant role in mental and emotional well-being. Collecting data on social interactions enables us to explore how social connectivity and relationships might impact overall health and contribute to longevity.

Yes, the study may adapt by introducing additional questions as it progresses. This approach allows us to respond to emerging trends, fill gaps in the current questionnaire, and ensure that the study continues to generate relevant and insightful data.

   Great question! To ensure consistency and accuracy, we recommend that you log your data for the previous day. This is particularly helpful for questions related to how many hours you slept or your total calorie intake for the day. By focusing on the previous day's data, you can provide more accurate and reliable information. So, when you're entering your data, please make sure to enter it with the date for the prior day. This approach ensures that the data collected is as accurate and useful as possible for the study.
