| Summary: | These data constitute the second wave of a survey designed
to study the influence of health practices and social relationships on
the physical and mental health of a typical sample of the population.
The first wave (HEALTH AND WAYS OF LIVING STUDY, 1965 PANEL [ALAMEDA
COUNTY, CALIFORNIA] [ICPSR 6688]) collected information for 6,928
respondents (including approximately 500 women aged 65 years and
older) on chronic health conditions, health behaviors, social
involvements, and psychological characteristics. The 1974
questionnaire was sent to 6,246 living subjects who had responded in
1965, and were able to be located. A total of 4,864 individuals
responded in 1974. Questions were asked on marital and life
satisfaction, parenting, physical activities, employment, and
childhood experiences. Demographic information on age, race, height,
weight, education, income, and religion was also collected. Included
with this dataset is a separate file (Part 2) containing mortality
data for respondents who died between the 1965 and 1974 panels, and
information on nonrespondents. |
