As I recall, one had to be 55 to enter the study, and after a few years, new members were no longer accepted.
Therefore, all remaining members of the study are now quite aged - well into their 80' s, as am I.
We have not met in years; all current data is collected by mail, AFAIK.
I look forward to filling out the questionnaires as they arrive, now about once per year.
Much knowledge and good has come from the study. and, like other research work now being discontinued, much will be lost for future generations that could be known for a little more financial backing.
