Welcome to the website for the OPAL study - the Oxford Pain, Activity and Lifestyle study.
The OPAL study is a 5-year survey study which looks at how people's health and physical activity change over time.
With the help of GP practices, we are gathering information from over 4,000 older people from across England.
This is a study about health outcomes in older adults. We are surveying over 4,000 adults across England to see how health and physical activity change over time. The information that we collect will help us to understand how a person’s health affects their mobility as they age, and provide insight into improving the management of health in older adults.
We invited people from across England to take part in the OPAL survey. All participants will now have received their final survey in the post and will be contacted again by letter with a final update on the study in 2024. Latest information about the study.
