Socioeconomic differentials in mortality risk among men screened for the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial
OBJECTIVES: This study examined socioeconomic differentials in risk of death from a number of causes in a large cohort of Black men in the United States. METHODS: For 20 224 Black men screened for the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial between 1973 and 1975, data were collected on median family income of Black households in zip code of residence, age, cigarette smoking, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, previous heart attack, and drug treat…
Socioeconomic differentials in mortality risk among men screened for the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial
OBJECTIVES: This study examined socioeconomic differentials in risk of death from a number of specific causes in a large cohort of White men in the United States. METHODS: For 300 685 White men screened for the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial between 1973 and 1975, data were collected on median income of White households in the zip code of residence, age, cigarette smoking, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, previous myocardial infarction…
Lessons from the Visual Acuity Impairment Survey pilot study
The Visual Acuity Impairment Survey (VAIS) pilot study was carried out in three large metropolitan areas of the United States to determine whether it would be feasible to conduct a large two-stage survey of the prevalence of visual acuity impairment and its causes. The study was conducted in conjunction with the Health Interview Survey (HIS), performed by the National Center for Health Statistics and the Census Bureau. In the first stage, a simpl…
An evaluation of the Social Security Administration master beneficiary record file and the National Death Index in the ascertainment of vital status
To evaluate the relative utility of the Social Security Administration and National Death Index as sources of mortality data, the vital status of 12,866 participants in the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial was identified from these sources and compared to the known mortality experience. The SSA correctly identified 87.8 per cent of the 409 deaths that occurred between 1974 and 1980. Underreporting of deaths by the SSA occurred for particip…
