Summary: |
The baseline Hispanic Established Populations for the
Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (Hispanic EPESE, ICPSR 2851) was
modeled after the design of ESTABLISHED POPULATIONS FOR EPIDEMIOLOGIC
STUDIES OF THE ELDERLY, 1981-1993: [EAST BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, IOWA
AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES, IOWA, NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT, AND NORTH
CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA] (ICPSR 9915) and ESTABLISHED POPULATIONS FOR
EPIDEMIOLOGIC STUDIES OF THE ELDERLY, 1996-1997: PIEDMONT HEALTH
SURVEY OF THE ELDERLY, FOURTH IN-PERSON SURVEY [DURHAM, WARREN, VANCE,
GRANVILLE, AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES, NORTH CAROLINA] (ICPSR 2744). This
data collection contains the two-year follow-up of the baseline
Hispanic EPESE, which collected data on a representative sample of
community-dwelling Mexican-American elderly, aged 65 years and older,
residing in the five southwestern states of Arizona, California,
Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. The primary purpose of the study was
to provide estimates of the prevalence of key physical health
conditions, mental health conditions, and functional impairments in
older Mexican Americans and to compare these estimates with those for
other populations. The Hispanic EPESE attempted to determine whether
certain risk factors for mortality and morbidity operate differently
in Mexican Americans than in non-Hispanic White Americans, African
Americans, and other major ethnic groups. The public-use data cover
demographic characteristics (age, sex, type of Hispanic race, income,
education, marital status, number of children, employment, and
religion), height, weight, social and physical functioning, chronic
conditions, related health problems, health habits, self-reported use
of dental, hospital, and nursing home services, and depression. This
two-year follow-up is a cross-sectional examination of the predictors
of mortality, changes in health outcomes, institutionalization, and
other changes in living arrangements, as well as changes in life
situations and quality of life issues. The Medications file (Part 2)
includes a listing of the medications, by brand name and
classification of the drug, which were prescribed for the respondent.
The vital status of respondents from baseline to this round of the
survey may be determined using the Vital Status file (Part 3). This
file contains interview dates from the baseline as well as vital
status at Wave II (respondent survived, date of death if deceased,
proxy-assisted, proxy-true).

Extent of Processing: |
All archived data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of
disclosure. The archive also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major
statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to
these procedures, the archive performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
-
Created online analysis version with question text.

Version History: |
2007-01-17 The setup files have been updated. 2005-11-04 On 2005-03-14 new files were added to
one or more datasets. These files included additional setup files as
well as one or more of the following: SAS program, SAS transport, SPSS
portable, and Stata system files. The metadata record was revised
2005-11-04 to reflect these additions. 2003-08-07 An additional co-investigator has been
added to Chapter Two of the Resource Book of the Hispanic Established
Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly. 2003-06-19 The Resource Book of the Hispanic
Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly
containing the List of Publications and Manuscripts from the Hispanic
EPESE in Portable Document Format (PDF) has been added as Part 4.
