Title: Recruitment and Screening for the Insight into Determination

physical examination is a modified version of the full BLSA assessment
protocol consisting of the following components: General appearance;
vital signs; chest and heart auscultation; sensory systems including
vision, hearing, sensory proprioception, neuropathy and balance; and
movement and strength of the upper and lower extremities. In addition
the potential participant will also be asked to complete physical
performance tests, cognitive exams, an electrocardiogram and a blood
draw. Frequency of Response: Once. Affected Public: Individuals or
households. Type of Respondents: Healthy individuals who are at least
80 years of age. The annual reporting burden is as follows: Estimated
Number of Respondents: 1,500; Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent: 1; Average Burden Hours per Response: 0.833; and Estimated
Total Annual Burden Hours Requested: 701. There is no annualized cost
to respondents. There are no Capital costs to report. There are no
Operating or Maintenance Costs to report.
