Topic: Health services, long-term care and technology
The study has been harmonized with leading international research so as to ensure adoption of best practice and comparability of results. Immediate analysis is undertaken for lipid profile as this result is provided in feedback to participants. Comparison of the objective measures of mental and physical health taken during health assessments with self-reports of diagnosed disease measured during the interview revealed a large burden of undiagnosed disease.

How this study scored 62/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a cohort study following people over time. Scored zero for effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and multi-centre collaboration, so those were left out: it earned 36 of the 58 points we could judge it on, which is 62 out of 100.
