ABSTRACT
The Study and Data Files
The Study
The Longitudinal Study of Aging is based on the Supplement
on Aging to the 1984 National Health Interview Survey. The
description of the National Health Interview Survey has been
published by the National Center for Health Statistics in a
monograph by Kovar and Poe. The description of the
Supplement on Aging has also been published by the National
Center for Health Statistics in monograph by Fitti and
Kovar. Users of the LSOA data should be familiar with
both of these documents, which are sold by the Government
Printing Office.
Familiarity with those documents including the
questionnaires used on the baseline surveys (and the LSOA
questionnaires that are included as appendixes to this
documentation) is important for anyone wishing to publish
data derived from these files. Analysts need to know about
survey procedures, response rates, estimation, and sampling
errors.
Familiarity with the questionnaires is essential. Users
must understand the skip patterns on the questionnaires if
they are to use the files correctly. If a question was not
asked for any reason - the answer to a previous question
showed that asking the next question was not relevant, the
question was appropriate only for a self-respondent and
another person answered the questions, or (in 1986) the
individual was not in the sample - the nonparticipation is
coded into the nonresponse category. There is no obvious
differentiation on the data file documentation between the
individual who did not answer the question (or for whom the
interviewer failed to record it) and the person who was not
asked the question. Only familiarity with the skip patterns
on the questionnaires (and for 1986 data only exclusion from
the sample) reveals the differences among people placed into
that category.
Data for 1984 are from personal interviews in the
participants' home. All interviews were conducted by U.S.
Bureau of the Census interviewers with special training on
this survey.
Data for 1986, 1988 and 1990 are from Computer-Assisted
Telephone Interviews with mail follow-up. The interviewing
and mailing for these interviews was also done by the Bureau
of the Census staff. Using the telephone to follow older
people who had already participated in a household survey
was deemed feasible after a study of older people's
responses to telephone interviewing. Computer-Assisted
Telephone Interviewing has since been used on other studies
of older people, including the NHANES Epidemiological
Followup Study, which is also conducted by NCHS.
To increase the accuracy of the data, and to decrease the
loss to followup, records for participants in the Supplement
on Aging who gave permission were matched with two other
files.
One is the National Death Index - a file of all deaths in
the United States that is maintained by the National Center
for Health Statistics. It has been accessed for the LSOA by
permission of the Vital Registrars in each of the
Registration Areas.
The other is the Medicare Files maintained by the Health
Care Financing Administration. It has been accessed for the
LSOA by the permission of HCFA obtained only after the
written promise of confidentiality of the National Center
for Health Statistics, the LSOA project officer, and the
person maintaining the LSOA files.
Access to these files meets all of the requirements of the
Privacy and Computer Matching and Privacy Protection Act of
1988.
Data Files
All of the data from all sources are on one computer tape
divided into three files - a person file and two files of
matched Medicare data.
They are growing files for a longitudinal study. Because
the data are released to all users as quickly as they become
available, the files are not final - nor will they be until
all data collection has been completed. However, waiting
for a final file would mean that data could not be released
until the study is over, which would not contribute to
research on aging.
Therefore, new data are added at the end of the file so that
people who have used the earlier versions of the file will
find everything exactly where it was before. These notes
focus on additions and changes to the files. New users may
find the format confusing because data are not necessarily
in the order in which they might be anticipated. The Table
of Contents is organized by year and mode of data collection
- not in the order in which data appear on the file - to
help new (and old) users find they data.
Information in Part III (1988 intervw) & Part IV (1990 intervw)
A. The sample is larger.
The sample for the 1988 and 1990 interview was larger than
that for the 1986 interview. In 1986 there was subsampling
for persons age 70-79 and for people who were not black.
Because the 1984 files were not final when the 1986 sample
was selected, a few people age 80 and over and a few black
people were also excluded. Data for all of the people who
were age 70 or older when they participated in the
Supplement on Aging in 1984 were included in the 1988 and
1990 sample.
Therefore, instead of the 5,151 records that were on
Versions 1 and 2, there are 7,527 records on the person file
for Versions 3 and 4. All information from the 1984
interviews, the 1988 interview, the 1990 interview and the
National Death Index and Medicare matches is on the Version
4 file for the added sample persons. There is, of course,
no information about them from the 1986 interview.
B. Part III contains information from the 1988 interview.
Changes in the questionnaire were minor. A few questions
were added (see Appendix).
Part IV contains information from the 1990 interview. There
were major additions to the questionnaire. The amount of
information on the person's economic status was greatly
expanded (see Appendix)
In addition, Version 4 contains the match with the National
Death Index for 1989, and the match with Medicare records
for 1990. That information is located on the file where it
was in previous versions.
2. File format
New information is added at the end of LSOA files so that
users of earlier versions will not have to rewrite their
programs. In general, that rule has been followed for
Version 4 - information that was on the Versions 2 and 3
files is in the same tape location without change.
There are important exceptions.
On the person file, the format in columns 1-1720 is
unchanged and the new information begins in column 1725.
Almost all of the data in columns 1-1720 are also unchanged.
However, data in the fields containing information about the
National Death Index and Medicare matches have been updated.
Most of the information appears in the same columns as in
prior documentation and the format is unchanged, but the
contents have been updated to reflect matches that were made
after Version 3 was released.
On the Part A Medicare match file the information is in
exactly the same order as before. However, when there was
no match with Medicare records from participants in the 1988
interview and for all of the sample persons who were located
and interviewed in 1988, the Medicare, Railroad Retirement,
or Health Insurance Claim number was either asked again or
verified as part of the 1990 interview. The augmented and
corrected file was sent to the Health Care Financing
Administration to be matched with all Medicare claims
records for 1989 through 1990.
The Version 4 file includes more than the additional data
from the 1989-90 matches for people interviewed in 1990. It
includes data for people whose Social Security (or other)
numbers were not correctly reported in earlier interviews
and who could not be matched.
On the Other Medicare file, data for 1990 are added after
data for the earlier years.
Frequency counts on the documentation
The sample for the 1986 Longitudinal Study of Aging
interview included only part of the participants in the 1984
Supplement on Aging who were age 70 and over in 1984.
Frequencies based on the 1986 sample count for variables
from the 1984 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), the
1984 Health Insurance Supplement, and the SOA reflect the
additional 2,376 people added to the 1988 sample. The
number of blanks for 1986 LSOA has been increased by 2,376.
Weights and other Sample Design Issues
Weights
To produce national estimates that represent the experience
of the people age 70 and over who were living in the
community in 1984, the data must be weighted.
Version 4 of the LSOA Public Use File has three weight
fields: the Interim LSOA Weight (1138-1143), the Final LSOA
Weight (1144-1149), and the Final SOA Weight (1657-1662).
The Interim LSOA Weight was put on the Version 1 file for
people interested in design effects due to the complex
sample design. It still serves that purpose.
Whether analysts use the Final LSOA Weight (1144-1149) or
the Final SOA Weight (1657-1662) depends on the analyst's
choice of data points for the analysis.
Analysts wishing to use data from all four waves are
restricted to the sample included in the 1986 interview and
should use the Final LSOA Weight. Analysts wishing to use
data from the larger sample should use only data from 1984,
1988 and 1990 and should use the Final SOA Weight.
Explanation of LSOA Final Weight
Because the sample of persons selected for the 1986 LSOA did
not include all 1984 Supplement on Aging (SOA) participants
who were 70 years and over, new weights were calculated.
The 1986 Final LSOA Weights were calculated using the same
post-stratification cells as those used for the SOA. The
SOA was post-stratified to the National Health Interview
Survey (NHIS) for the 12 cells (3 age x 2 sex x 2 race) that
were used for post-stratification of the NHIS. Population
estimates for those 12 cells are, therefore, the same except
for rounding.
The Final LSOA Weight produces estimates for the data
collected on the 1986 LSOA sample persons.
Final SOA Weight
The sample for the 1988 and 1990 LSOA included everyone who
was 70 years old and over at the time of the 1984 SOA. The
Final SOA Weight that is on the Version 3 of the LSOA Public
Use File is the same as the Final SOA Weight on the SOA
Public Use File. A more detailed description of the SOA
weights is in Reference 2.
Strata and Primary Sampling Units
The National Health Interview Survey is based on a complex
sample design that includes clustering. In general, the
effect of such a design is to increase the variance of the
estimates. Therefore, statistics that did not take the
sample design into account might show confidence intervals
narrower and test statistics significant more often than
they should be.
There are computer programs designed to deal with such
complex designs. Such programs need to know the stratum and
the Primary Sampling Unit designation for each sample
person. Therefore the information is on the person file.
Questions included in 1988 that were not included in 1986
In addition to the larger sample, questions that were not
asked in 1986 were added to the 1988 interview. They
include:
Questions that were on the 1987 Decedent Follow-up
A question on family income using the wording of the
National Health Interview Survey
A question on number of rooms using the wording of the
American Housing Survey
Questions on number of living children and frequency
and type of contact with those children that had been
asked in 1984
A question on when someone moved in was added to
balance the one on when the sample person moved
The 1990 interview
The 1990 sample has the same base as the 1988 sample - all
participants in the SOA who were age 70 or over. Persons
known to have died by 1988 were excluded from the interview
sample; they can be located in the NDI or best estimate
variables in the documentation. Persons who did not respond
to earlier interviews were included in the interview sample.
The questionnaire for 1990 was expanded to add a great deal
of economic information. Questions on sources of income
that were asked in 1984 were repeated to permit analysis of
change in this cohort over time and have been included on
the Version 4 file. All of the questions comparable to
those on the 1990 National Health Interview Survey were
added. Questions on interest and assets have been added.
However, the information is not included on the Version 4
file. The data are being evaluated and edited and will be
released, if appropriate, on a later version of the tape.
Some of these questions will make it possible to compare the
status of LSOA participants in 1990 with their status in
1984. Some will make it possible to compare longitudinal
data from the LSOA with the cross-sectional data from the
NHIS. Others will permit more detailed analysis of the
economic status of the LSOA participants in 1990, people who
are now age 75 and older.
Future Data Releases
Permission has been obtained to match the decedents
identified on the NDI match with the multiple-cause-of-death
files. That information will be released on a floppy disk
in late 1991 so that users can add it to their SOA or LSOA
files. The date of death (which is already on the LSOA
file) and multiple causes of death will be provided for all
participants in the 1984 SOA who are known, or who are
presumed, to have died.
The response rate to the 1990 Economic Supplement, which was
a mail survey, was much lower than the rate for the regular
1990 LSOA interview, which was a telephone survey. Item
non-response was also higher than on the telephone and
respondents were sometimes inconsistent in their answers.
Therefore, those data are being processed separately from
the main interview and the information judged to be useful
will be released separately on a floppy disk. Analysts can
link data from that disk to their Version 4 file.
Because there will be no more interviews for the
Longitudinal Study of Aging, there will not be vast
quantities of information to add to the file. The plan is
that all updates, such as the NDI and Medicare match data,
will be issued on floppy disks so that people who have
purchased Version 4 can update their file inexpensively.
Notes on Specific Variables
General Information
SP refers to Sample Person
There are inconsistencies in the counts of blanks occurring
in sets of variables. An example is the nursing home stay
questions. The number of blanks in the nursing home stay
questions is 2,556 except for the variables about who paid
for the care. There are 2,557 blanks for these. We did not
attempt to locate and move the one person in this situation
or in other situations where the number of blanks differed
by a small number.
National Health Interview Survey Core Questionnaire:
Processing Week Code
The Sunday night prior to interview week 01 in Quarter 1 is
January 8, 1984. Quarter is in position 5.
NHIS Poverty Index
Based on family size, number of children under 18 years of
age and family income using the 1983 poverty levels
published by the Census Bureau in August 1984.
Size of Family Recode
A person on active duty in the military but living at home
is included in the count even though he or she is excluded
from the survey.
Respondent
For basic questionnaire only. Refer to position 704 for SOA
respondent.
Type of PSU
Based on 1970 Census area definition.
Supplement on Aging:
Length of Time Married
Includes people with unknown marital status (from Core) if
information was provided.
Number of Living Children
Includes people with unknown marital status (from Core) if
information was provided.
Total Number of Living Children
Includes people with unknown marital status (from Core) if
information was provided.
Difficulty Performing Following Activities Without Help
These activities are 10 work related tasks that indicate the
person's physical ability to do work.
NHIS Diagnostic Code
The following characters appear on the public use tape as
part of the NHIS diagnostic codes:
- a code preceded by an "-" refers to an impairment
code. An impairment is denoted by an "X" in Health
Interview Survey Medical Coding Manual and Short Index
(NHIS coding manual),
- a "-" appearing in the decimal position refers to
other conditions not in .0 to .9 and is denoted by an
".X" in the NHIS coding manual, and
- an "&" appearing in the decimal position refers to
an unknown or unspecified origin and is denoted by a
".Y" in the HIS coding manual.
These characters on the tape differ from the characters in
the HIS coding manual because of the IBM translation that
occurs when the tape is created. Additional information
about the condition coding in the NHIS can be found in the
Health Interview Survey Medical Coding Manual and Short
Index.
Activities of Daily Living (ADL's)
The number of ADL's refers to the number of "yes" responses
to this series of questions where a response is given to at
least one of the questions. The "unknown" category applies
only when all ADL information is unknown.
Spouse and/or children of the sample person were not asked
if their help was paid.
Spouse and/or children who provided help are counted as
unpaid help.
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL's)
The number of IADL's refers to the number of "yes" responses
to this series of questions where a response is given to at
least one of the questions. The "unknown" category applies
only when all IADL information is unknown.
Spouse and/or children of the sample person were not asked
if their help was paid.
Spouse and/or children who provided help are counted as
unpaid help.
Help With ADL(s) and IADL(s) Recode
Unknowns are counted as no help.
1986 LSOA Version 2:
Type of Interview
There were 434 noninterview cases. One noninterview was
given by a proxy respondent.
Sex
One sample person's sex in location 717 is not the same as
that in location 20. Sex in location 717 was used for post-
stratification.
Transition Living Recode
Excludes one person who was reported initially as in a
nursing home but who was reported not in a nursing home
later in the interview.
Migration - Residence Move Recode
The Migration - Intercounty Residence Move Since SOA
Interview Recode treats an interstate move as an intercounty
move.
Reason Moved Residence Since SOA - Recode
Code 02, "Live closer to or with children or siblings,"
includes any other relatives. In the 1986 documentation,
the relatives were siblings.
Activities of Daily Living (ADL's)
The ADL's include 17 sample persons who were in a nursing
home or other institution but who responded to questions
about who helped and who was paid.
Spouse and/or children of the sample person were not asked
if their help was paid.
Spouse and/or children who provided help are counted as
unpaid help.
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL's)
The IADL's include 17 sample persons who were in a nursing
home or other institution but who responded to the IADL
questions.
Spouse and/or children of the sample person were not asked
if their help was paid.
Spouse and/or children who provided help are counted as
unpaid help.
Number of Different Times in Nursing Home Since
1984 SOA Interview
The count of sample persons currently in the nursing home
excludes three sample persons who responded to this
question.
Month Admitted to Nursing Home the First or Only
Time Since 1984 SOA Interview
The count of sample persons currently in the nursing home
excludes three sample persons who responded to this
question.
Year When Admitted to Nursing Home the First or Only
Time Since 1984 SOA Interview
The count of sample persons currently in the nursing home
excludes three sample persons who responded to this
question.
Nursing Home Stay Recode
Includes one person who was reported initially as in a
nursing home who later in the interview was reported as not
in a nursing home.
1987 Decedent Followup Date of Death
Three persons were reported alive. Investigation shows that
two persons are deceased and one is alive.
The sample person's date of death may differ from the
information reported in the 1986 LSOA.
1987 Decedent Followup Place of Death
The sample person's place of death may differ from the
information reported in the 1986 LSOA.
1988 LSOA Version 3:
Migration - Residence Move Recode
The Migration - Intercounty Residence Move Since Last
Interview Recode treats an interstate move as an intercounty
move.
Main Reason Moved Residence Since Last Interview -
Recode
There is one sample person whose main reason for moving is
not one of the 3 reported reasons. The main reason for
moving is code 01, "poor health of sample person"; the
reason given for the move is 05, "money and financial
considerations."
Activities of Daily Living (ADL's)
The ADL's include 5 sample persons who were in a nursing
home or other institution but who responded to questions
about who helped and who was paid.
Spouse and/or children of the sample person were not asked
if their help was paid.
Spouse and/or children who provided help are counted as
unpaid help.
The inconsistencies in the Version 3 documentation that
existed in the frequencies between two variables that
pertain to activities of daily living - "Is This Help Paid
For" and "Type of Helper Paid" were located and resolved.
The frequencies in the Version 4 file reflect the revisions.
Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL's)
The number of responses in the "Doesn't Do" category for
having difficulty using the telephone (loc. 1415=111) is not
consistent with the distribution of the responses in the
variable "Doesn't Do Because of a Health or Physical
Problem" (loc. 1416 =112). After some checking, it appears
possible that the number of "yes" responses reported in loc.
1416 should be 93 rather than 94. The inconsistency between
loc. 1415 and loc. 1416 causes the sum of the counts for
codes 1, 2, 3 and 9 in loc. 1482 to be one less than the
"yes" count reported in loc. 1481.
The IADL's include 3 sample persons who were in a nursing
home or other institution but who responded to the IADL
questions.
Spouse and/or children of the sample person were not asked
if their help was paid.
Therefore, spouse and/or children who provided help are
counted as unpaid help.
The inconsistencies in the Version 3 documentation that
existed in the frequencies between two variables that
pertain to instrumental activities of daily living: "Is
This Help Paid For" and "Type of Helper Paid" were located
and resolved. The frequencies in the Version 4 file reflect
the revisions.
1990 LSOA Version 4:

LSOA Medicare Record - 1984-1990:
The number of Medicare claim records included on the file
for 1988 and 1989 is less than the number for other years.
The reason for the variation cannot be explained at this
time.
There are discrepancies between the information reported in
the Medicare claims data and the LSOA data.

Appendix E-County Adjacency
The adjacency code classification scheme has been taken from U.S. Department
of Agriculture, Agricultural Economic Report No. 272, March 1975.
Counties are classified into metro and nonmetro categories either by
size of the metro area of which each metro county is a part, or for the
nonmetro counties, by the number of urban residents and geographic proximity
to the metro areas.
All U.S. countires and county equivalents are grouped according to their
official OMB 1973 metro-nonrnetro designation, based on the 1950 census.
The county groups are coded as follows:
CODE NAME DESCRIPTION
0 Core counties Large SMSA counties having at
least 1,000,000 population in 1950
containing the primary central
city.
1 Fringe counties Suburban SMSA's counties having at
least 1,000,000population in 1950.
2 Medium 5h15A counties Counties of SMSA's of 250,000
to 999,999 population.
3 Lesser SM5A counties Counties of SMSA's of less
than 250,000 population.
4 Urbanized adjacent counties Counties outside SMSA's contiguous
to SMSA's and having an aggregate
urban population of at
least 20,000 residents.
5 Urbanized not adjacent counties Counties outside SMSA's not
contiguous to SMSA's and having
an aggregate urban population
of at least 20,000 residents.
6 Less urbanized adjacent counties Counties contiguous to SMSA's and
having an aggregate urban popltn.
of 2,500 to 19,999
residents.
7 Less urban adjacent counties Counties not contiguous to SMSA's
and having an aggregate urban
population of 2,500 to 19,999
residents.
8 Thinly populated not adjacent Counties contiguous to SMSA's and
counties having no urban population.
9 Thinly populated not adjacent Counties not contiguous to SMSA's
counties and having no urban population.

Diagnostic Recode C
Chronic Conditions and lmpairments
Definition of Chronic Condition and Impairment - In most cases, a chronic
condition or an impairment is any departure from normal health with onset
more than 3 months from date of Interview.Certain chronic conditions
and impairments are classified as chronic, however, regardless of date of
onset. Complications of pregnancy are always classified as acute. All chronic
conditions and impairments are counted whether or not they necessitated
activity restriction or medical care. Impairments coded with an "X" in the
first digit are , by definition chronic

Appendix G-Independent/Dependent Status in ADL's
Independent/Dependent Status In Activities Of Daily Living
The Independent/Dependent Status in Activities of Daily Living variable is
based on a summative index of independence in activities
of daily living, a modification of the Katz Index. It is calculated by First
classifying each respondent as independent or dependent in each of the
five personal care activities: bathing/showering, dressing, eating, getting
in or out of bed or chair, and using the toilet. The second step computes
the number of ADL's in which the respondent is dependent. This step
yields the respondent's index score. Respondents with index scores of
zero are the most independent; respondents with index scores of five are the
most dependent.
Independent in personal care activities is defined as independent or not
needing help to perform all five ADL's: bathing/showering,
dressing, eating, getting in or out of bed or chair, and using the toilet.
Dependent in personal care activities is defined as needing help from
another person to perform, or not performing, at least one five ADL's:
bathing/showering, dressing, eating, getting in or out of bed or chair,
and using the toilet.

Appendix H-Procedure For Refining NDI Match
Procedure For Refining NDI Match
Linkage of survey data to other data bases is one way of improving and
expanding the amount of information available without adding additional
burden on the respondent. In some circumstances, linkage can provide access
to information not readily available to household respondents.
One such data base is the National Death Index (NDI), a file of the deaths
occurring in the United States.* Linkage to this data base allows analysis
of causes of death and related information that cannot be known when the
person is interviewed.
In order to determine how health practices and conditions are related to how
long people live, the Supplement on Aging (SOA) study design included
matching to the NDI. All respondents (or their proxies) were told that NCHS
"... would like to refer to statistical records maintained by the National
Center for Health Statistics." The respondents were asked to provide
all information (including Social Security Number) that is recommended for
linkage with the NDI.
Items Collected
The information collected during the SOA interview to facilitate matching to
the NDI included:
I. Month, Day, and Year of Birth
2. Full name, including First and Last Names and Middle Initial
3. Father's Last Name
4. Social Security Number
5. Sex
6. Race
7. Marital Status
8. State of Residence
9. State (or Country) of Birth
(Only one other item of information can be used as part of the NDI matching
process, the actual or estimated date of death; information which is not
available since the survey respondents were living at the time of the SOA
interview).
National Center for Health Statistics, Users Manual,the National Death Index.
DHHS Pub. No. (PHS) 81-1148. Public Health Service. Hyattsville,
MD. U.S. Government Printing Office, September 1981.
At least one of the following combinations of data items is required before
an NDI match will be attempted:
1. First and Last Name AND Social Security Number
2. First and Last Name AND Month and Year of Birth
Records which did not have at least one of these combinations were rejected
by the NCHS NDI edit program; 215 such records from the SOA were
not submitted to NDI for matching. For many of these records the respondent
red to provide the necessary information; the rest could not
be matched because incomplete information was available from the SOA.
The Procedure
The NDI Retrieval Program searches the NDI file to determine whether a
particular NDI death record qualifies as a possible record match with
a particular input record. To qualify as a possible match, both records must
satisfy at least one of twelve conditions set by the Retrieval Program.
These matching criteria are designed to maximize the number of true matches
identified. Because of this design feature, the Retrieval Program also
generates a significant number of false matches (false positives). These
false matches must he examined and their number reduced to make efficient use
of the Retrieval Program Report, either to obtain copies of the
death certificates from the States, or to directly link the records to other
data sets.
The Retrieval Report is sorted so that the "first-listed" record for each
person in the NDI death record that was determined by the NDI Retrieval
Program to be the "best" of the possible matches, whenever there was more
than one possible match in the NDI file.
Results of the Match
The match between the 16,148 persons in the SOA and the NDI for years 1982-
1985 resulted in 12,301 possible matches. Of these possible matches, 4,745
were to the 5,151 persons in the Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA)
population. The procedure described below was used to reduce the
number of possible matches to a set more closely representative of actual
deaths in the SOA population, while eliminating as many of the false matches
as possible.
First, the 12,301 possible matches were reduced to 5,106(2,057 in the LS0A)
by eliminating those with a data of death prior to the SOA interview.
Then the 5,106 possible matches were reviewed by hand to determine the "best"
single possible match for each person. Sixty-six of the "best" records
were not the "first-listed" of the possible matches from the NDI matching
process. This review resulted in 3,151 possible matches, one
for each person with a possible match.
Scoring Algorithm
These 3,151 records were given a mathematical score by a computer algorithm,
sorted into groups, and examined by hand to determine which appeared to be
accurate matches, and which did not.
The scoring algorithm for the possible NDI matches, a modified form of one
developed by Westat, Inc., scored the following items:
MAXIMUM
POSSIBLE
ITEM SCORE
Social Securiry Number 7
Date of Birth 4
Sex 4
Race 2
Marital Status 2
State of Residence 2
State of Birth 2
State of Residence with State of Death 4
First Name 4
Last Name 4
Middle Initial 2
Father's Surname, if the sex was female 2
The Maximum score was 37; the minimum score was 4.
Recording Procedure
Examination of the scores led to the following conclusions and code
categories:
1) Scores greater than or equal to 28 indicated matches with no obvious
reasons for rejecting them. These were coded as god matches. Included
were all of the matches designated as exact in the NDI report.
2) Scores of 22, and scores of 24 through 27 indicated likely matches.
They matched on fewer items than the good matches and were
coded as fair matches.
3) Scores of less than 22 matched on only a few items; they were coded as
poor matches.
4) Scores of 23 also matched on only a few items; however, the SSN was
an exact match. These were also coded as poor matches.
5) A fourth Category was created for those 5SO records which did not
match any record in the NDI.
The table below shows the count of persons in the 50A and L5OA in each of
these categories.

Reinterview Results and Best Estimation
1986 Reinterview Results
Because the LSOA actually recontracted the SOA respondents, it was possible,
for the LSOA sample, to examine probable errors in matching. Of the 5,151
persons included in the LSOA sample, 4,113 completed an interview, 604
were reported deceased, 45 were not interviewed for reasons that imply that
they were alive at the time of the attempted interview (for example, in a
nursing home, temporarily absent, or too ill to be interviewed).The remaining
389 were not located, and were, therefore, indeterminate as to
their status at the time of the attempted interview.
Using the reinterview information when it was available, and the NDI code in
other cases, a "best-estimate" of the status of each person was determined.

NDI vs Best Estimates
The next table compares the Best Estimate Codes with the NDI status codes.
The data in the table does not reflect changes that occurred as a result of
the NDI matching update completed in 1990. Therefore some of the numbers
may not agree with those found in the documentation.

Possible Errors
There are 11 fair matches with the NDI which indicate that the person in the
LSOA is deceased. However, those persons were alive at the time of the
LSOA interview, as shown in the table above. These are probable erroneous
matches that are readily detectable.
The 46 poor matches reported as deceased at the time of the interview and the
169 persons reported as deceased at the time of the interview, who did
not match with the NDI at all may be errors, but they may also be persons who
died in 1986, alter the latest date of death in avallable NDI records.

Because of the importance of the cost of medical care for older
people in the United States, we have more questions about your
income and finances. But, I will not ask them today because I
don't want to take more of your time now.
Instead, I am going to mail a questionnaire for you to complete;
that way you can take time to think about the answers or look up
information to answer the questions.
You should receive your questionnaire within the next two weeks.
Thank you very much for the help you have given.
