Description: PROJECT NARRATIVE Aging is primarily studied with samples that begin in midlife or later and assess individuals yearly or less often. Furthermore, a premature mortality crisis has ravaged rural communities where economic opportunities and key infrastructures have declined and social disintegration has increased The objective of our set of complementary aims is to develop a new data resource that captures the full arc of a life with intimate detail about living and aging in a rural context.
