“…Even though the distribution of the study sample in terms of gender was relatively similar to the Lebanese population distribution [ 33 ], the proportion of younger adults (19–30 years) was over-represented in the study sample at the expense of those aged above 41 years [ 32 ] ( Table 1 ). Previous studies have suggested a negative relationship between age and response rate in surveys [ 49 ] and a linear decline of response rate with age [ 50 ]. Similarly, the proportion of subjects with university education in the study sample is higher than the one reported for Lebanon [ 34 ].…”

“…(Jacomb, Jorm, Korten, Christensen, & Henderson, 2002;Mihelic & Crimmins, 1997;Norton, Breitner, Welsh, & Wyse, 1994) Other investigators point to increase skepticism among the elderly and the need to build rapport in this population to foster feelings of trust, safety, and confidentiality. (Murphy, Schwerin, Eyerman, & Kennet, 2008) Differences in quit and abandon rates based on gender while statistically significant are likely not practically meaningful. The statistically significant decrease in completion rate coupled with the significant increase in declined rate overtime was concerning and pointed to Table 6.…”

“…First, there was a low response rate of 8.1% of the contacted individuals eligible for inclusion in the baseline survey. However, it should be noted that this low response rate can be expected in similar studies with older adults (Murphy, Schwerin, Eyerman, & Kennet, 2008). The BIS population has been shown to be representative of the German general population of older adults with regard to the morbidity structure of the participants of the same age and sex (Busch, Schienkiewitz, Nowossadeck, & Gosswald, 2013; Ebert et al, 2016; Gosswald, Schienkiewitz, Nowossadeck, & Busch, 2013; Jacob, Breuer, & Kostev, 2016; Tamayo, Brinks, Hoyer, Kuß, & Rathmann, 2016).…”
