catalog abstract "The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), in collaboration with the National Institute on Aging (NIA), is conducting the Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA). The LSOA is an extension of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) of 1984, following its sample of 16,148 noninstitutionalized elderly people (55 years and over) living in the United States. The LSOA is designed to (a) provide mortality rates by demographic, social, economic, and health characteristics that are not available from the vital statistics system, (b) measure change in the functional status and living arrangements of older people, and (c) provide measures of health care use. It is also designed to describe the continuum from functionally independent living in the community through dependence, possible institutionalization, and finally death. This release of the LSOA data concerns a sample of the NHIS Supplement on Aging (SOA) respondents aged 70 and over at the time of their 1984 interviews. The data include 1986 reinterviews, National Death Index matches, and 1987 interviews with contact persons named by decedents, as well as selected variables from the 1984 NHIS core questionnaire and its two supplements (Health Insurance and the SOA). Two 1984-1987 Medicare files are included: Hospital Records and Indicators of Home Health Care, Hospice, and Outpatient Use. Links also are provided to allow merging of additional variables from the National health interview survye, 1984 (ICPSR 8659).".

catalog description "The age distribution of the sample of 5,151 interviewed persons is: ages 70-74 (N = 1,745), 75-79 (N = 1,316), 80-84 (N = 1,266), and 85-99 (N = 824). There are plans by NCHS and NIA to update this data collection with several other kinds of data on the age 70 years and over sample during the next five years including a 1988 reinterview, cause of death from death certificates, hospitalization and medical expenditures from Medicare Part A records, and further National Death Index matches and proxy information on decedents. A separate public-use file will be prepared with the entire SOA sample of 16,148 persons 55 years and over. It will contain selected data from the 1984 NHIS file and supplements, a five-year span of National Death Index matches, a six-year span of Medicare Part A records, and links to the complete 1984 NHIS.".

catalog description "The sample for the LSOA was drawn in stages. First, all SOA households with a person aged 80 or over ("oldest old") were selected. Within these households, all persons aged 80 or over and their relatives aged 70-79 were selected. Second, all other households with a person aged 70-79 were selected. From these households, Black persons and their relatives aged 70-79 were sampled. Finally, the remaining households with a person aged 70-79, whose residents were all either white or other non-Black persons, were randomly sorted and one-half of the households were selected for the sample. If more than one person aged 70-79 resided in a household that was selected, all were included.".
