GECC Datasets

Research-ready exposome data, available now and coming soon

GECC builds research-ready exposome data to support studies of life course environmental exposures and Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). Datasets are available through the GECC Dataverse (opens in a new tab) on Harvard Dataverse, where you can download files, read documentation, and get a citation for each one. Code is available on the GECC GitHub (opens in a new tab).

More exposome data

The Gateway to Global Aging Data (opens in a new tab), GECC’s sister infrastructure project focused on the international network of health and retirement studies, offers additional exposome measures (including temperature, heat index, precipitation, green and blue space, nighttime light, and air pollution) already linked to several cohort studies, along with linkage code. See the Gateway Exposome site (opens in a new tab) and its data descriptions (opens in a new tab).
