The study aimed to contextualise the LBC1921 cohort in time and place, describe cohort members’ experiences of family and schooling and stimulate further inquiry into the relationships between ‘start in life’ and risk and resilience factors relating to longevity and healthy ageing. Scottish education and family life in the early 1930s are briefly described. SN - 1471-2318 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s12877-016-0246-x DO - 10.1186/s12877-016-0246-x ID - Lapsley2016 ER -
