+ | |||
+ | * You can obtain a list of the standard topic variables to use in an NSHD data sharing request by selecting the link at the end of this page.\\ | ||
+ | * The XML version of the link can be sent to the LHA as part of a data sharing request.\\ | ||
+ | * Simply use your browser' | ||
+ | * You can then [[mrclha.swiftinfo@ucl.ac.uk|email]] the XML version to us in support of your application, | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | **Please Note** that the standard basket only contains physical performance variables, rather than ADL measures. The ADL variables are all standalone, for individual tasks, and summary measures have not been derived. The most recent ADL variables can be found in data libraries ' | ||
+ | \\ \\ | ||
+ | Many more physical performance variables are available, for example different recodes of the measures, converting ' | ||
