We hope all our participants and colleagues have been safe and well during the pandemic.

At the HEAF study we have been working remotely, so we have not been able to post out as many updates or questionnaires as we would have liked. However, we have certainly been busy throughout the period!

• Whilst we were working remotely, some of you were contacted via e-mail for an online questionnaire which focused on the impact of Covid on older adults. We intend to follow this up shortly with another online questionnaire so please do keep an eye out for another email from us.
• We have recently published some new findings about loneliness in older adults from the HEAF study. You can find more information about this and all other publications from the HEAF study by clicking on the Findings tab .
• We will also soon be publishing findings on the impact of shift/night work in the HEAF cohort and this will also be included in our Findings page
• We will also be presenting HEAF data and posters at the upcoming Epidemiology in Occupational Health (EPICOH) conference which will take place virtually between 25-28th October.

We’d like to offer our thanks to all our participants for your continued support with this important research. We will be back in touch with updates and questionnaires as soon as we are able!
