Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS)

http://www.rand.org/labor/FLS/IFLS.html

Overview
The Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) is an on-going longitudinal survey in Indonesia conducted by RAND, Survey Meter and the Center for Population and Policy Studies, University of Gadjah Mada. The IFLS is designed to provide data for studying behaviors and outcomes. The survey contains a wealth of information collected at the individual and household levels, including multiple indicators of economic and non-economic well-being. In addition to individual- and household-level information, IFLS provides detailed information from the communities in which IFLS households are located and from the facilities that serve residents of those communities. These data cover aspects of the physical and social environment, infrastructure, employment opportunities, food prices, access to health and educational facilities, and the quality and prices of services available at those facilities

Data Collection

Biomarkers
Anthropometric measures collected in IFLS include height and weight for all household members, and waist and hip circumference and leg length for respondents aged 40 and older. Blood pressure and timed sit-to-stand are available for individuals over 14 years of age. Other measures include lung capacity and high sensitivity C-reactive protein and hemoglobin from dried blood spots. In IFLS4 (2007), additional biomarkers include cholesterol for those 40 years and over (non-fasting total and HDL), CRP, and grip strength.
