SAGE Wave 0
A baseline cohort for the six participating countries was created as part of the WHS and contains data on the situation of 65,964 adults aged 18 years and older, including over 20,000 persons aged 50 years and older. Samples of these respondents were followed-up as a part of SAGE Wave 1 (2007–10) data collection in four of the six SAGE countries (Ghana, India, Mexico and the Russian Federation). Meta- and micro-data are in the public domain through WHO at www.who.int/healthinfo/systems/sage.

Famous quotes containing the words sage and/or wave:
“The sage does not hoard. Having bestowed all he has on others, he has yet more; Having given all he has to others, he is richer still.”
—Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
“The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
