THE SECOND SUPPLEMENT ON AGING (SOA II)
Public Use Data File
I. Background
Elderly Americans are major consumers of health care services in the United
States. Of the estimated $660 billion spent on personal health care in 1991,
older Americans age 65 and over (who comprised roughly 12+ percent of the
total population) accounted for 36 percent ($238 billion) of all such
spending. Moreover, the aged population was responsible for approximately 60
percent of all publicly financed personal health care (1). Absent a dramatic
decline in morbidity in the older population, these proportions are expected
to grow substantially as our population continues to age.
Because health care expenses are greatest during periods of declining health,
increasing disability and institutionalization, the maintenance of good health
and functional independence among the elderly is one of the most important
goals of health promotion and disease prevention initiatives in our aging
society. Postponing declines in functional status and the onset of chronic
disease, disability, and institutionalization can enhance the lives of millions
of Americans while substantially reducing the cost of federally-funded medical
care. To be effective, health care policy and health promotion programs need
reliable survey data that help identify the complex interactions between
health and environmental, sociodemographic, social, and economic factors, and
also provide information on important population trends.
Recognizing the need for quality data on the health status of the elderly, the
National Center for Health Statistics, with the support of and in collabora-
tion with the National Institute on Aging, launched the first Longitudinal
Study of Aging (LSOA) between 1984 and 1990. The Supplement on Aging (SOA),
conducted in conjunction with the 1984 National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS), served as the baseline for the study. The LSOA followed the cohort of
persons who were age 70 and above at the time of the SOA through three waves
of followup at approximately two-year intervals, in 1986, 1988 and 1990.
The LSOA was designed to:
Describe the processes through which individuals pass from being function-
ally independent and living in the community through becoming functionally
dependent, institutionalized and/or deceased;
Measure the interrelationships between change in functional status, living
arrangements, and receipt of health care among the elderly;
Provide mortality rates for major demographic, social, economic, and health
subgroups that are not available from the vital statistics system; and
Provide a high-quality national database for a broad range of scholars
conducting research on the oldest-old and on persons approaching these ages.
The rationale was that having one high-quality database that was available
to the entire research community would be more efficient for many purposes
than having many small studies available to individual researchers.
Data from the SOA and LSOA have been the most widely used databases for
research and policy analysis relevant to the older population. Version 5 of
the LSOA data file, which contains information from all four interview waves
(1984-1990) and mortality and Medicare data available from record matches
through July 1991, was released in September, 1993. Although there will be no
more interviews for the LSOA, passive followup continues and data from these
record matches will be released for many years to come. For more information
on the survey design and content of the SOA and LSOA, please refer to the two
publications cited at the end of this document (2,3).
The body of research emanating from the SOA and the LSOA has greatly increased
our understanding of the process of aging and the interaction of health,
functioning, physical mobility, social support, and the use of formal and
informal care among the oldest members of the population. Data from both the
SOA and the LSOA will continue to add to our knowledge, as much analysis is
still underway and has yet to appear in the literature.
But at a moment in our history when the maintenance of good health into old age
has become both a personal aspiration and a critical societal goal, much more
needs to be learned about the aging process so that cost-effective policies
and programs may be implemented. For example, in order to forecast future
demands that will be placed on the health care system by the elderly, it is of
critical importance to determine whether the apparent decrease in disability
among older persons during the 1980's has continued into the 1990's and, if so,
what factors are responsible for this trend. In addition, it is important to
gain additional insight into: 1) the processes by which health behaviors,
disease, and cognitive and emotional states impact on physical functioning and
disability; 2) the processes by which personal attitudes and social and
community support appear to mitigate the impact of physical impairment; and
3) the gender and socioeconomic differentials in the health of older persons,
particularly the unique burden borne by elderly women.
In response to these pressing concerns, the National Center for Health
Statistics and the National Institute on Aging decided to conduct the Second
Supplement on Aging (SOA II), roughly 10 years after the original SOA, with a
new cohort of persons age 70 years and over. Because the SOA II closely
replicates the SOA in its methodology and content, it is uniquely poised to
provide the data necessary for analyzing important temporal changes in health
and functioning among older Americans.
II. The Second Supplement on Aging
Survey Goals and Objectives
The SOA II has four specific aims:
1. To provide a replication of the first SOA in order to determine whether
there have been changes in the level of disability among older persons
between 1984 and the mid-1990s. Availability of replicated health and
functioning measures and their covariates collected on two distinct
cohorts will enable researchers to evaluate whether the prevalence of
disability or the factors associated with disability are different for the
current cohort of women and men age 70 years and over compared to the
cohort who were age 70 years and over ten years prior.
2. To provide information on the causes and correlates of changes in health
and functioning in older Americans, including background demographic
characteristics, health behaviors and attitudes, preexisting illness, and
social and environmental support.
3. To provide information on the sequence and consequences of health events,
including utilization of health care and services for assisted community
living, on the physiological consequences of disability such as pain and
fatigue, on social consequences such as changes in social activities,
living arrangements, social support, and use of community services, and
on the deployment of assisted living strategies and accessibility of
technological and environmental adaptations.
4. To serve as the baseline for the first national second generation
prospective study focussing on older Americans, the Second Longitudinal
Study of Aging (LSOA II).
Survey Design
Data provided on the SOA II data tape was obtained from several sources: 1) the
1994 NHIS Core questionnaire, 2) the Access to Care Supplement to the 1994
NHIS, 3) Phase 1 of the National Health Interview Survey on Disability
(NHIS-D), and 4) Phase 2 of NHIS-D. The 1994 NHIS Core, Access to Care
Supplement and the Phase 1 NHIS-D were completed by household respondents
during the initial interview, which took place between January and December of
1994. Phase 2 of the NHIS-D was completed by individual survey respondents
during a separate contact, 7 to 17 months after the initial interview. Each
of these surveys and the way in which it ties into the SOA II is described in
more detail below.
In 1994, the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), an annual in-person
interview survey of the noninstitutionalized civilian population of the
United States, was used as a vehicle to launch the 1994-95 National Health
Interview Survey on Disability (NHIS-D). The NHIS-D was designed to collect
data that can be used to understand disability, to develop public health
policy, to produce simple prevalence estimates of numerous health conditions,
and to provide descriptive baseline statistics on the effects of disabilities.
For more information on the NHIS-D, please refer to the documentation cited at
the end of this document; the coversheet for the NHIS-D documentation provides
a more detailed description of this survey (4).
The NHIS-D was collected in two phases. Phase 1 was conducted at the time of
the 1994 NHIS Core interview. The respondent for Phase 1 NHIS-D was the
household respondent from whom the NHIS Core data were collected. The Phase 1
questionnaire asked about (1) pathology and/or impairment, (2) functional
limitation, and (3) disability. These factors were then used to determine
eligibility for the second phase of the NHIS-D, also known as the Disability
Followback Survey (DFS). Criteria for screening individuals into Phase 2 of
the NHIS-D was based on data from the Phase 1 interview, the NHIS Core
interview, and the Family Resources Supplement. Individuals who were
receiving disability benefits, who had specific impairments or were limited in
their usual activities, or who had made adaptations due to the presence of a
health condition were selected for inclusion in Phase 2 of the NHIS-D. The
screening criteria were quite broad and, as a result, over 50% of those aged
70 and older in the 1994 NHIS sample screened in to the Phase 2 interview.
Given the large proportion of the elderly sample that would be represented in
the NHIS-D, and the extensive overlap in content of the NHIS-D and the SOA II,
a decision was made to integrate the two surveys. By the time this decision
was made, the design and content of the Phase 1 screener questionnaire had
already been determined and was designed to be administered to the household
respondent. In order to preserve as much comparability as possible in terms
of design and content between the 1984 SOA and the SOA II, the SOA II was
incorporated into Phase 2 of the NHIS-D, which was conducted as a followup
interview to Phase 1 and administered to individual sample persons.
The sample for the SOA II was drawn from the universe of individuals who
participated in the 1994 NHIS. Whereas the Phase 2 NHIS-D interview was
conducted with sample members of all ages who were selected based on some
disability criteria, the SOA II focused on all sample members 70 years of age
and over, regardless of disability status. Thus all individuals 70 years of
age and over for whom data were collected as part of the 1994 NHIS Core
interview were included in the SOA II.
Two separate instruments were used to collect data from elderly sample persons
at Phase 2, the DFS-2 and the DFS-3. The DFS-2 instrument was designed to be
administered to all adults, 18 years of age and over, who were screened into
the Phase 2 NHIS-D as having a disability. This included a little over half
of the total elderly sample, or 4,928 persons. The DFS-2 contained all of the
questions from the DFS-3, as well as a number of additional questions focusing
on disability status and related issues relevant to the disabled population.
The DFS-3 was designed specifically for the SOA II, and was administered to
the remaining 4,519 persons age 70 years and over who were not disabled as
defined by the NHIS-D screening criteria.
The Phase 2 interview was originally scheduled to take place approximately six
months after the Phase 1 interview. Thus, sample selection for the SOA II
cohort was based on all Phase 1 sample persons who were 69 years of age and
older at the time of Phase 1. The intent was to insure that the SOA II
captured those individuals who might have turned 70 years of age by the time
of the Phase 2 interview. Delays occurred, however, which forced Phase 2
interviewing to occur later than expected, resulting in a lapse between
Phase 1 and Phase 2 that ranged from 7 to 17 months.
These delays had an important impact on the SOA II sample. As a result of the
Phase1/Phase 2 interval exceeding 12 months in some cases, some sample persons
who were age 68 at the time of the Phase 1 interview had turned 70 by the time
of the Phase 2 interview. However, because only persons who were age 69 and
over at Phase 1 were screened for the SOA II interview, these 68 year olds
were missed. As a result, the number of 70 year olds in the sample is
slightly under represented.
Respondent Type
Although an attempt was made to conduct the interview with the sample person
him/herself, proxy respondents were used when the sample person was incapable
of completing the interview. In some instances, the sample person required an
assistant for either part or all of the interview. The response rate for self
response is 84.5 percent (78.3 percent self, entirely and 6.2 percent self,
partially). The proxy response rate for SOA II was 14.4 percent. A small
number of interviews were completed where the interviewer failed to indicate
who responded to the interview (1.1 percent unknown response rate).
Similarities and Differences between the 1984 SOA and SOA II
As noted above, a major objective of the SOA II was to replicate critical
components of the 1984 SOA in order to allow researchers to examine whether
there have been changes in the prevalence of disability among older persons in
the U.S. To this end, considerable effort was made to maintain comparability
in both the design and content of the two surveys. The resulting similarities
are listed below:
1. Both surveys were conducted as supplements to the NHIS.
2. The samples for both surveys were comprised of all persons 70 years of
age and over who completed the NHIS Core interview.
3. Both surveys were conducted by trained interviewers from the
U.S.Bureau of the Census.
4. Both surveys were conducted as in-person interviews with self-
respondents.
5. The procedures for accepting and selecting proxy respondents were the
same across surveys.
6. Most of the content of the SOA questionnaire was repeated in the
SOA II; question wording was preserved.
7. The general ordering of sections and questions within sections was
maintained.
The integration of the SOA II with the NHIS-D resulted in some differences
between the 1984 SOA and the SOA II, and these are noted below:
1. The 1984 SOA was conducted during the same visit as the 1984 NHIS Core;
the SOA II was conducted in a followup visit anywhere from 7 to 17
months after the Core interview. As a result, the response rate for
the SOA II is somewhat lower than that of the 1984 SOA (87.4 percent
vs. 93.2 percent).
2. In addition to repeating questions from the 1984 SOA, the SOA II was
expanded to obtain additional information. As a result, the SOA II
interview was considerably longer than the 1984 SOA and the SOA
questions on functioning are interspersed in between DFS questions
and sections.
3. Design characteristics of the 1984 and 1994 NHIS samples differed (5).
For example, an enhancement of the NHIS sample design is that the 1994
NHIS oversampled the Black population; there was no oversample of any
subgroup in the 1984 NHIS. In addition, beginning in 1985 there was a
reduction in the number of PSU's sampled, there was selection of two
PSU's per non-self-representing stratum, and the use of an all-area
frame was employed. Such changes to the sample design have only a
slight impact upon the comparability of the baseline data collected in
the respective years, however, because the correction for these changes
is the calculation and use of weights. The weights are a product of
four components which take into account the complex multistage proba-
bility design: probability of selection, household non-response
adjustment within segment, first-stage ratio adjustment and post-
stratification by age-sex-race. Thus, the use of weights allows for
control of design changes and comparison across SOA and SOA II.
Content of the Second Supplement on Aging Data File
As mentioned previously, the SOA II data file contains information from several
sources, including the 1994 NHIS Core questionnaire, the Access to Care
Supplement, Phase 1 Disability Supplement, and the Phase 2 interview. The
questionnaires administered at Phase 2 (the DFS-2 and DFS-3 instruments) were
designed to be fully comprehensive; hence, with the exception of a few
demographic and background characteristics, all questions considered to be
critical to the objectives of the NHIS-D and the SOA II were included in the
Phase 2 questionnaires. There are a number of questions from the NHIS Core
interview and supplements that are thought to be complementary to the data
obtained at Phase 2, however, and these measures are thus included in the SOA
II file. Users must always keep in mind, however, that data from the NHIS
Core, Access to Care Supplement and Phase 1 Disability Supplement were
collected at an earlier point in time (7 to 17 months) than data from the
Phase 2 questionnaires and may have been provided by a respondent other than
the sample person and other than the respondent for Phase 2.
The SOA II questionnaire (DFS-3 instrument) contained modules on a number of
scientifically important and policy-relevant domains. These include:
Assistance with activities of daily living,
Chronic conditions and impairments,
Family structure, relationships, and living arrangements,
Health opinions and behaviors,
Use of health, personal care and social services,
Use of assistive devices and technologies,
Health insurance,
Housing and long-term care,
Social activity,
Employment history, and
Transportation

Recodes
There are a limited number of recodes in the data file; usually they were
added to summarize data from several locations. Generally, the recodes are
located close to the variables upon which it was based. When a recode was
related to several non-contiguous variables, the recode was placed at the end
of the relevant section of the data file. An attempt was made to replicate
all recodes from the 1984 SOA for which comparable data were obtained, in
order to facilitate cross-survey use.
Response rate
The overall response for the SOA II was 87.4 percent. This response rate was
calculated as follows:
Overall household response rate from Core (94.1 percent) multiplied by the 92.9
percent of the age-eligible persons (age 70 at Phase 2) who responded to the
SOA II, yielding an overall response rate of 87.4 percent.
Sample Weights
Because the NHIS uses a multistage sample design to represent the civilian
non-institutionalized population of the United States, weights must be used to
make accurate estimates from the NHIS data. For the SOA II, an adjustment was
made to the 1994 NHIS Core weight in order to account for the additional non-
response to the SOA II. The health data from the Core was examined before
re-weighting to look for any evidence of bias due to differences in health
status between SOA II respondents and non-respondents; no significant
differences between the two groups were found. As a result, a simple post-
stratification adjustment was used, based on population control counts from
July 1, 1995, which is roughly the midpoint of the Phase 2 survey period. The
age-sex-race categories used for post-stratification included three age groups
(70-74, 75-79, 80+), two sex groups (male, female), and two racial designations
(Black and non-Black). Given this adjustment, the weights on the SOA II data
file are different than the corresponding weights on the Core and Phase 1
supplement data files.
There are three fields related to weighting on the SOA II files:
The Final Annual Basic Weight (location 201-206) will be used in most analyses
of the SOA II File. This weight should be used with the Disability data found
in locations 351-1826 as well as the person level variables in the beginning
of the file.
The Interim Basic Weight (before age-sex-race adjustment) (location 172-177)
is required by some software packages for variance estimation for surveys with
complex sample designs. There are a number of computer programs, such as
SUDAAN, that yield variance estimates for data based on complex sample surveys.
Some are based on replication approaches and others are based on Taylor
linearization approaches. In addition to the Interim Basic Weight, the
SOA II files also include the Full Sample Stratum Identifier (location. 179-
181), the Pseudo Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) Codes (Location. 187-189), and
the Type of PSU (Location. 185) to provide the analyst the capability of using
such variance estimation procedures. These variables and weights are
necessary for directly calculating sampling variances.
See the attachment following this cover sheet for the specific fields needed
when using SUDAAN.
In addition, there is a third weight field, the Chronic Condition Prevalence
and Incidence Factor (CCPIF) (location 207-217) which is used only when the
researcher matches the SOA II respondents to the 1994 CORE NHIS file in
order to make prevalence estimates of chronic conditions. On the Core NHIS,
each household is asked about one of six lists of chronic conditions; the
CCPIF and the final annual person weight on the SOA II are used to reinflate
the six list subsample estimates to create a national estimate for those
responding to the SOA II questionnaire. Again, this Factor field has been re-
weighted and differs from the same weight field on the NHIS core.
Item non-response
Three different types of item non-response are possible in the data files:
responses of "don't know" or "refused" were assigned codes of "9", "99", or
"999"; when a question was not answered when it should have been or the
answer given was not possible,"Not ascertained" was assigned a code of "8",
"98", or "998"; and when a question was legitimately skipped based on a
response to a prior question, "NA" (not applicable) was assigned a blank for
that variable field.
Linkable Files
In addition to the files mentioned above, the following NHIS data files exist
for the 1994 sample.
For all SOA II sample persons (as reported by a household respondent):
Access to Health Care (complete file)
Health Insurance
Imputed Family Resources
Phase 1 Disability Supplement (complete file)
For a selected sample adult in each family:
Year 2000 Objectives (including environmental health, tobacco, occupa-
tional safety and health, heart disease and stroke, clinical and
preventive services)
AIDS Knowledge and Attitudes
For all DFS-2 respondents:
Disability Followback Survey
If an analyst matches the SOA II data to the NHIS Core files or other files
with information on the entire SOA II sample, the weights on the SOA II file
should be used. However, if the analyst is matching to the sample adult files
listed above, the correct weight to use is the sample person weight found on
the Year 2000 or the AIDS file.
III. Guidelines for Citation of Data

Method 1 - Single Stage PSU's Sampled With-Replacement within Strata Design
for 1987-1994 NHIS.
This method is statistically less efficient than the method described below but
is more flexible. This method requires no recoding of design variables, may
be applicable to many complex survey sample design computer programs, and
covers the 1987-1994 NHIS survey years. Using the variables CSTRATUM, CPSU,
and WTF, the PSU unit CPSU is treated as being sampled with replacement within
stratum unit CSTRATUM. The data file needs to be sorted only by CSTRATUM and
CPSU prior to invoking SUDAAN.
For the above simplification of the NHIS sample design structure, use the
following SUDAAN design statements:
PROC (procedure name) DESIGN = WR;
NEST CSTRATUM CPSU;
Method 2 - Multi-stage stratified sampling design for the 1987-1994 NHIS.
This design provides for more statistically efficient variance estimation than
Method 1. Method 2 makes fewer simplifications of the NHIS sample design
structure but is only applicable to SUDAAN. This method also requires recodes
of the design variables and is only applicable to survey years 1987 - 1994
NHIS person data.
Prior to use of this method the following recoding must be done on the NHIS
file. This example is in SAS but other programming languages may be used.
If (TYPE_PSU = 1 or TYPE_PSU = 4) then do;
PSU = 1;
POPPSU = 0;
END;
If (TYPE_PSU = 3 or TYPE_PSU = 6) then do;
PSU = CPSU;
POPPSU = -1;
END;
This recode creates two new variables on each record, PSU and POPPSU, for use
by SUDAAN's NEST and TOTCNT statements. For more information on the purpose of
these statements refer to SUDAAN documentation. With these additional
variables, use the following SUDAAN code for NHIS data-sets assuming a multi-
stage stratified sampling design.
Before running SUDAAN against the data file, however, sort the input file by
the NEST variables (STRATUM, PSU, SUB, and SSU).
For SUDAAN, describe the NHIS sampling design as follows:
PROC (procedure name) DESIGN = WOR;
NEST STRATUM PSU SUB SSU /MISSUNIT;
TOTCNT POPPSU _ZERO_ _MINUS1_ _ZERO_;
Caution. This method assumes that ALL records on the BASIC HEALTH AND
DEMOGRAPHIC (BHD) or CURRENT HEALTH TOPIC (CHT) file are being used. If,
however, you keep only selected records on a file, e.g., persons aged 65+
(which may delete all records from one or more SSUs), care must be taken
to preserve the integrity of the sampling design.
All Self-Representing (SR) SSU's (TYPE_PSU = 1 or 4) listed on the FULL NHIS
file (BHD or CHT) must have at least one representative on the data file used
for input to SUDAAN. Moreover, all Non-Self Representing (NSR) PSU's must
have at least one record for a person on this data file. The NEST variables
(STRATUM, PSU, SUB, and SSU) along with the weight variable must be on each
record of the analysis file.
