Proper Citation: Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly (RRID:SCR_008909)

Description: A collection of data that describes and identifies predictors of mortality, hospitalization, and placement in long-term care facilities and investigates risk factors for chronic diseases and loss of functioning. The EPESE project consisted of baseline and annual follow-up surveys on approximately 14,000 noninstitutionalized persons aged 65 and older in four geographically-defined communities: East Boston, Massachusetts; Iowa and Washington counties, Iowa; New Haven, Connecticut (started in 1982-1983); and a five-county-wide region in north-central North Carolina (started in 1986). Half of the participants in the North Carolina EPESE are African-American. The baseline data cover demographic characteristics (age, sex, race, height, weight, income, education, marital status, number of children, employment, and religion); social and physical functioning; chronic conditions; related health problems; health habits; self-reported use of dental, hospital, and nursing home services. More detailed descriptions of the Iowa and North Carolina surveys follow in this document (Iowa 65+ Rural Health Study and PHSE Ten-Year Follow-up of North Carolina EPESE). Data Availability: Data from the baseline and the first 6 years of follow-up are available as ICPSR Study No. 9915. Information from death certificates obtained for deaths occurring in the first 6 years of follow-up is also available. * Dates of Study: 1981-1993 * Study Features: Longitudinal, Minority Oversamples, Anthropometric Measures * Sample Size: ** 1981: 14,458 (Baseline) ** 1982: 14,070 (First follow-up) ** 1983: 13,382 (Second follow-up) ** 1984: 12,381 (Third follow-up) ** 1985: 11,657 (Fourth follow-up) ** 1986: 10,998 (Fifth follow-up) ** 1987: 9,998 (Sixth follow-up) Link * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/09915
