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 aiming to gather information from over 4,000 older people from across England.
We are pleased to have recently opened the OPAL study in the Leeds area.
The study is now recruiting in Birmingham, Oxford, Cambridge and Leeds.
Thank you to all participants who have enrolled into the study so far, and all participating GP practices for all their hard work!
We will be inviting people from across England to take part in the OPAL survey. If you have been selected to participte you will receive a letter in the post from your GP, along with a copy of the survey and a consent form. You can find out more information about the study on this website. If you have questions about participating, please do get in touch with the Research Team.

We are aiming to work with around 40 GP practices across England to assist with the identification of eligible patients. Information for GP practices interested in supporting this work.
This is a study about health outcomes in older adults. We are surveying 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.
