Criteria for selection were the following: respondent's age greater than or equal to 30 at the time of the interview, variables of specific substantive interest, information on a given variable being available for at least 8 years, variables selected only once (though parallel entries exist on the input files that were merged), health conditions that were defined as chronic by NHIS and caused or contributed to limitation of activity. |
