Our center has met a problem with the longitudinal survey. Since some elder participants died and others have changed their phone numbers, we can only trace around half of the original participants. I am a bit worried. What can we do?

No worries. It is common to have drop-out cases in longitudinal studies, especially among the older population. It would help if you acknowledged the limitations in findings and the readers could understand.
