| A list of the questions and variable names for the life events sections can be seen below. In [[questionnaires:1982|1982]], the questions were mostly phrased in terms of events happening to 'friends or relatives'. This was adapted in successive years, hence why there are not many direct equivalent variables across all four collections. \\ \\ Several other [[questionnaires:1982|1982]] life events variables are present, they can be found on [[skylark:skylark|Skylark]] by searching for 'year and category' (1982 and category 'social support or life events').\\ \\ {{mrepo:life_events.jpg?600|life events variable grid}} | A list of the questions and variable names for the life events sections can be seen below.

| A summary of these events at ages 36 and 43 years can be found in {{mrepo:Hatch2009LifeEvents.pdf|Hatch et al. (2009)}}. These authors categorise life events as family and economic stressors vs. interpersonal relationship stressors, with reference to total number of events (0, 1, 2, 3 or 4+), and whether there was life change (no stressors, stressors with no change, stressors with change).<html><br></html> | A summary of these events at ages 36 and 43 years can be found in {{mrepo:Hatch2009LifeEvents.pdf|Hatch et al.
