NHANES
III Linked
Mortality File
NCHS has conducted a mortality linkage of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) to death certificate data found in the National Death Index (NDI). Linkage of the NHANES III survey participants with the NDI provides the opportunity to conduct a vast array of outcome studies designed to investigate the association of a wide variety of health factors with mortality. NCHS has created two versions of the NHANES III Linked Mortality File: a public-use file that includes a limited set of mortality variables and a restricted-use file that includes more detailed mortality information. This is the first in a series of planned mortality linkages for the NHANES III survey.
The NHANES III Linked Mortality File contains information based upon the results from a probabilistic match between NHANES III and NDI death certificate records. The NHANES III Linked Mortality File provides mortality follow-up data from the date of NHANES III survey participation (1988-1994) through December 31, 2000. All NHANES III participants are included on the Linked Mortality File but only adult participants (those 17 years and older) were eligible for mortality follow-up.
