Description:The NHANES I Epidemiologic Followup Study (NHEFS) was jointly initiated by the National Center for Health Statistics and the National Institute on Aging in collaboration with other National Institutes of Health and Public Health Service agencies. The goal of NHEFS is to examine the relationship of baseline clinical, nutritional, and behavioral factors assessed in the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I-1971-75) to subsequent morbidity and mortality. Data collection for the initial phase of followup took place between 1982 and 1984 and included tracing of all NHANES I participants, determining their vital status, conducting in-depth interviews with surviving participants or with proxies for those who were deceased or incapacitated, conducting selected physical measurements, obtaining facility records for stays in hospitals or nursing homes that occurred during the period of followup, and obtaining death certificates for decedents. Ninety-three percent of the original cohort was successfully traced. Interviews were conducted for 93 percent of traced, surviving participants and 84 percent of traced, surviving participants and 84 percent of traced, deceased subjects. Physical measurements were obtained for approximately 95 percent of surviving, interviewed subjects. Death certificates are available for more than 95 percent of the decedents, and 18,136 facility records were received for 6,477 subjects.
