Preface

The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is a nationally representative longitudinal survey of more than 37,000 individuals over age 50 in the United States. In order to make the data more accessible to researchers, we, the USC Gateway to Global Aging Data team, created the Harmonized HRS, a user-friendly version of a subset of the HRS. The Harmonized HRS initiative is part of a larger set of projects. With funding and support from the National Institute on Aging, we have also created Harmonized ELSA (England), Harmonized SHARE (Europe + Israel), Harmonized KLoSA (South Korea), Harmonized JSTAR (Japan), Harmonized CHARLS (China), Harmonized LASI (India), Harmonized MHAS (Mexico), Harmonized TILDA (Ireland), and Harmonized CRELES (Costa Rica) data. Further information about these Harmonized data files with questionnaires and other metadata is available on our searchable website, https://g2aging.org/.

In creating the Harmonized data files, we have followed the RAND HRS conventions of variable naming and data structure. The RAND HRS is another user-friendly version of a subset of the HRS that the RAND Center for the Study of Aging created to increase usability. Supplementing the RAND HRS, the Harmonized HRS includes additional variables not created in the RAND HRS. The Harmonized HRS includes variables with a similar naming convention that mimics the RAND HRS and other Harmonized variables. This document describes these data.

We are grateful for the continuing support of and funding from NIA. We have greatly benefited from the discussions with and the suggestions from our colleagues Jennifer Ailshire, Marco Angrisani, Eileen Crimmins, Peifeng Hu, Arie Kapteyn, Erik Meijer, Lindsay Ryan, Jacqui Smith, and David Weir.

What’s New in Version B of the Harmonized HRS?

Version B incorporates the latest released version of HRS and RAND HRS data. It contains 37,495 observations or rows. It is a Respondent-level file so each row represents a unique Respondent. It also adds new variables and makes adjustments and corrections.

We have added the following sections to the file: Family:

- We added the following variables: RAMOMEDUCL and RADADEDUCLindicate the mother’s and father’s harmonized education categorization,RAMOMEDUC8 and RADADEDUC8 indicate whether the respondent’smother and father completed 8 or more years of schooling, and RADADOCCUPindicates the respondent’s father’s occupation at age 16.

Stress: - We added variables for all available waves in the following domains: Karasek job

content, neighborhood physical disorder/neighborhood social cohesion,childhood/lifetime stressful events, loneliness, social support provided by thespouse, children, other family members, and friends, everyday discrimination andthe reasons for this discrimination, unfair lifetime discrimination, and workdiscrimination in the last 12 months.

End of Life Planning: - We added variables for all available waves in the following domains: wills and

trusts, living wills, durable power of attorney for healthcare, life insurance, wholelife insurance, and changes in life insurance.

We have added the following variables to the file:

Demographics: - We added INWwSC for waves 7 through 12, which indicates whether the

respondent participated in the self-completion questionnaire.- We added RwSCPROXY for waves 8 through 12, which indicates whether the

respondent completed the self-completion questionnaire through a proxy.- We added RwLANG_H for waves 1 through 12, which indicates what language

the respondent’s interview was conducted in.Physical Measures:

- We added the following variables for wave 7 in the physical measures module:RwPUFF1, RwPUFF2, RwPUFF3, RwPUFF, RwPUFFPOS, andRwPUFFCOMP indicate the respondent’s lung function peak flow of the first,second, and third attempt, the maximum across all attempts, the position for thelung function test, and the respondent’s willingness to complete the lung functiontests. RwDOMHAND, RwLGRIP1, RwLGRIP2, RwRGRIP1, RwRGRIP2,RwLGRIP, RwRGRIP, RwGRIPSUM, and RwGRIPCOMP indicate therespondent’s dominant hand for the grip strength measurements, left grip strengthmeasurement at the first and second attempt, right grip strength measurement atthe first and second attempt, the maximum left and right grip measurements, the

maximum grip measurement of the dominant hand, and the respondent’s willingness to complete the grip strength tests. RwWSPEED1, RwWSPEED2, RwWSPEED, and RwWALKCOMP indicate the respondent’s walking speed of the first and second attempts, the average of both attempts, and the respondent’s willingness to complete the timed walk measurements. RwMHEIGHT, RwHTCOMP, RwMWEIGHT, RwWTCOMP, RwMBMI, RwSHOEH, and RwSHOEW indicate the respondent’s measurement height, willingness to complete the height measurement, measured weight, willingness to complete the weight measurement, calculated measured BMI, and whether the respondent was wearing shoes during the height and weight measurements.

Functional Limitations: - We added the following variables for waves 2 through 5 in the functional

limitations module: RwHLPSP indicates whether the respondent’s spouse helpsthe respondent with ADL and IADL difficulties. RwHLPKIDN,RwHLPKIDHR, and RwHLPKIDHRM indicate how many children orgrandchildren help the respondent with ADL and IADL difficulties, the number ofhours per day children and grandchildren provide this help, and whether thenumber of hours is missing. RwHLPOTHN, RwHLPOTHHR, andRwHLPOTHHRM indicate how many other non-professional people help therespondent with ADL and IADL difficulties, the number of hours per day othernon-professional people provide this help, and whether the number of hours ismissing. RwHLPPRO, RwHLPPDN, RwHLPPDIN, RwHLPPDAMT, andRwHLPPDAMTM indicate whether the respondent had any professionalhelpers, the number of paid helpers who help the respondent with ADL and IADLdifficulties, whether insurance helps cover the cost of the paid helpers, themonthly out-of-pocket cost for the paid helpers, and whether the monthly out-of-pocket cost is missing.

- We added the following variables for waves 3 through 5 in the functionallimitations module: RwHLPKIDDAY and RwHLPKIDDYM indicate thenumber of days per week children and grandchildren provide ADL and IADLhelp and whether the number of days is missing. RwHLPOTHDAY andRwHLPOTHDYM indicate the number of days per week other non-professionalpeople provide ADL and IADL help and whether the number of days is missing.

- We added the following variables for wave 5 in the functional limitations module:RwHLPSPDAY, RwHLPSPDYM, RwHLPSPHR, and RwHLPSPHRMindicate the number of days per week the respondent’s spouse helps therespondent with ADL and IADL difficulties, whether the number of days ismissing, the number of hours per day the respondent’s spouse helps therespondent with ADL and IADL difficulties, and whether the number of hours ismissing.

We have made the following adjustments, improvements, and corrections to the data and documentation:

Introduction – HRS Version: - We erroneously left out our use of the RAND HRS Fat Files, specifically 1992

RAND HRS Fat File v.1B, 1993 RAND HRS Fat File v.2A, 1994 RAND HRS

All Modules: - We made corrections to the coding of all spouse variables to differentiate

uncoupled respondents from coupled respondents whose partner or spouse did notparticipate in the interview.

Demographics: - We made corrections to the coding of HwLVWITH, HwLVALONE,

HwLVSPOUS, HwLVKIDS, HwLVSPKID, and HwLVOTHER in waves 1through 12 to ensure that they represent the household’s living situation in theparticular wave, and no longer represent the household’s living situation across allwaves.

Health: - We made an adjustment to the coding of RwFALLNUM in waves 3 through 12

by assigning a zero instead of a special missing .x if the respondent had not fallenin the last 2 years.

- We made an adjustment to the coding of RwURINAF in waves 2 through 12 byassigning a zero instead of a special missing .x if the respondent had notexperienced any urinary incontinence in the last month.

Functional Limitations: - We dropped the following variables from the file because variables capturing the

same concepts were already present in the RAND HRS Longitudinal File:RwDRESSHLP, RwWALKHLP, RwBATHEHLP, RwEATHLP,RwBEDHLP, RwTOILETHLP, RwWALKEQUIP, and RwBEDEQUIP.

- We made corrections to the coding of RwHLPOTHN and RwHLPOTHDYM inwaves 6 through 12 to ensure that they take into account helpers fromorganizations. Helpers from organizations were included in RwHLPOTHDAY,RwHLPOTHHR, and RwHLPOTHHRM.

1. Introduction and Overview

This report documents the Harmonized HRS data files, a streamlined collection of variables derived from the Health and Retirement Survey (HRS) meant to supplement the RAND HRS. HRS is a panel survey of people over age 50 and their partners in the United States. Its main goal is to provide panel data that enable research and analysis in support of policies on retirement, health insurance, saving, and economic well-being. The survey elicits information about demographics, income, assets, health, cognition, family structure and connections, health care use and costs, housing, job status and history, expectations, and insurance.

The HRS is primarily supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), with additional funding from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and is administered by the Institute for Social Research (ISR) at the University of Michigan. The products released by the Gateway to Global Aging Data are supported by the NIA.

The HRS is comprised of six separate cohorts, summarized below: Cohort Year Born Year of First

Interview Years of Subsequent Interviews

Initial HRS 1931-1941 1992 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014

AHEAD Before 1924 1993 1995, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014

Mid Baby Boomer (MBB)

1954-1959 2010 2012, 2014

The first wave of the HRS was conducted between April 1992 and March 1993, and included the initial HRS cohort. The first AHEAD wave, which was originally part of a separate study (The Study of Assets and Health Dynamics Among the Oldest Old), was conducted between October 1993 and August 1994. The second wave of the HRS was conducted between May 1994 and March 1995. Like the RAND HRS, we treat the 1993 AHEAD sample and the 1994 HRS sample as part of the second wave of the HRS. The second AHEAD wave was conducted between November 1995 and June 1996. The third wave of the HRS was conducted between May 1996 and February 1997. Like the RAND HRS, we treat the 1995 AHEAD sample and the 1996 HRS sample as part of the third wave of the HRS. The fourth wave of the HRS was conducted between January 1998 and March 1999. It included the HRS and AHEAD cohorts and added the Children of Depression (CODA) cohort, and the War Baby (WB) cohort. The fifth wave was

conducted between January 2000 and December 2000. The sixth wave was conducted between April 2002 and March 2003. The fifth and sixth waves included the HRS cohort, AHEAD cohort, CODA cohort, and WB cohort. The seventh wave was conducted between February 2004 and February 2005. The seventh wave included the four previously mentioned cohorts and added the Early Baby Boomer (EBB) cohort. The eighth wave was conducted between March 2006 and February 2007. The ninth wave was conducted between February 2008 and February 2009. The eighth and ninth waves included the HRS cohort, AHEAD cohort, CODA cohort, WB cohort, and EBB cohort. The tenth wave was conducted between March 2010 and November 2011. The tenth wave consisted of the five previously mentioned cohorts and added the Mid Baby Boomer (MBB) cohort. The eleventh wave was conducted between April 2012 and May 2013. The twelfth wave was conducted between March 2014 and April 2015. The eleventh and twelfth wave included individuals from the six previously mentioned cohorts.

The data include any individual interviewed at least once. This includes individuals who were age-eligible (born in eligible years) at the time of their first interview, spouses or partners who were not age-eligible at baseline, and spouses or partners who married an age-eligible respondent between survey waves.

The HRS data contain several auxiliary files. RAND releases 14 RAND Enhanced Fat Files, which contain most of the original HRS variables with household data merged to the Respondent level, one for each survey year. These data files do not include exit interviews or any restricted data. RAND also releases the RAND HRS Longitudinal data file, which combines information from the core interview data with information from the current Tracker, Region and Mobility, and Master ID files, as well as the RAND Family data file which includes select information from the core interview data. The Harmonized HRS data file incorporates the RAND Enhanced Fat Files, the RAND HRS Longitudinal data file, the RAND Family data file, as well as select HRS data files. It does not include any data which is not public release.

Documentation of the HRS methodology can be found in An Elementary Cookbook of Data Management using HRS Data with SPSS, SAS and Stata Examples (2004), Overview of HRS Public Data Files for Cross-sectional and Longitudinal Analysis (2010), or Cohort Profile: the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), International Journal of Epidemiology 43(2):576-585 (2014). Documentation of the RAND HRS methodology can be found in RAND HRS Longitudinal File Codebook (2018), and documentation of the RAND HRS Family methodology can be found in RAND HRS Family Data 2012 Documentation: Includes 1992-2012 (Final Release) (2017).

1.1. Gateway to Global Aging Data

The Health and Retirement Study (HRS) has achieved remarkable scientific success, as demonstrated by an impressive number of users, research studies, and publications using it. Its success has generated substantial interest in collecting similar data as population aging has progressed in every region of the world.

Page 11: Harmonized HRS Documentation...Harmonized CRELES (Costa Rica) data. Further information about these Harmonized data files Further information about these Harmonized data files with

1. Introduction and Overview 10

The result has been a number of surveys designed to be comparable with the HRS: the Mexican Health & Aging Survey (MHAS), the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA), the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (KLoSA), the Japanese Study on Aging and Retirement (JSTAR), the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA), the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), Health and Aging in Africa: A Longitudinal Study of an INDEPTH Community in South Africa (HAALSI), the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSI), Healthy Ageing in Scotland (HAGIS), the Northern Ireland Cohort Longitudinal Study of Ageing (NICOLA), and the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI). The overview of this family of surveys, including their research designs, samples, and key domains can be found in Lee (2010).

As these surveys were designed with harmonization as a goal, they provide remarkable opportunities for cross-country studies. The value of comparative analyses, especially the opportunities they offer for learning lessons resulting from policies adopted elsewhere, is widely recognized. Yet there are only a limited number of empirical studies exploiting such opportunities. This is partly due to the difficulty associated with learning multiple surveys and the policies and institutions of each country.

Identifying comparable questions across surveys is the first step toward cross-country analyses. The Gateway to Global Aging Data (Gateway) helps users understand and use these large-scale population surveys on health and retirement. The Gateway includes several tools to facilitate cross-national health and retirement research. It includes a digital library of survey questions for all participating surveys. Its search engine enables users to find relevant survey questions. The Gateway also includes a concordance with information comparing measures within and across surveys over time. Using these tools, researchers can identify all questions related to particular key words or within a domain. The Gateway also includes population and sub-population estimates for key harmonized variables and present them in graphs and tables that can be downloaded.

The Gateway can be accessed at https://g2aging.org/. For more information about using the Gateway visit the Help page. For more information about obtaining the Harmonized HRS from the HRS website or downloading the Stata file used to create the Harmonized HRS using the Gateway see “Chapter 4. Distribution and Technical Notes.”

1.2. Unit of Observation

We distinguish between three units of observation: individual, couple, and household. A "couple" in this sense means "single individual, or individual with his/her spouse, whatever applicable". In the HRS, an age-eligible individual is sampled and then this individual and his or her spouse or partner is interviewed, but no other household members, even if they are age-eligible. Thus, in the HRS, there is usually no distinction between a "couple" and a "household". More precisely, "household" variables in the HRS (and the RAND HRS) are actually "couple" variables. We do not include non-respondents in our files.

Page 12: Harmonized HRS Documentation...Harmonized CRELES (Costa Rica) data. Further information about these Harmonized data files Further information about these Harmonized data files with

1. Introduction and Overview 11

1.3. Data File Structure

The Harmonized HRS data are contained in a single file, which includes the first 12 waves of the HRS, in addition to the 1993 and 1995 AHEAD interviews. The data are stored in a “fat format” where each observation represents one respondent. The unit of observation is the individual. Each individual is uniquely identified by the unique identifier hhidpn. Households are identified by HHID. This file may be merged with other HRS data using hhidpn.

1.4. Variable Naming Convention

With few exceptions, variable names in the Harmonized HRS data follow a consistent pattern. The first character indicates whether the variable refers to the reference person (“R”), spouse (“S”), or the household (“H”). The second character indicates the wave to which the variable pertains: “1” to “12”, or “A”. The “A” indicates “all,” i.e., the variable is not specific to any single wave. An example is RABDATE, the birth date of the respondent. The remaining characters describe the concept that the variable captures. For example:

Variable S12SIGHT captures the spouse’s self-rated eyesight. The name of the variable does notindicate who provided the information. For example, the spouse variables may have been reported by the spouse himself or herself, or it may have been reported by the reference person as a proxy. The HRS obtains many variables, particularly on financial and family matters, reported by a proxy.

In the text below, we may refer to variables such as SWSIGHT for example, without specifying the wave. This reference points at the group of variables S1SIGHT, S2SIGHT, S3SIGHT, S4SIGHT,S5SIGHT, S6SIGHT, S7SIGHT, S8SIGHT, S9SIGHT, S10SIGHT, S11SIGHT, S12SIGHT.

Variable labels also follow a consistent pattern. The first characters denote the name of the variable, followed by a colon. Then the wave to which the variable pertains (W1, W2, W3, W4, W5,W6, W7, W8, W9, W10, W11, OR W12) follows. The remainder of the label describes the concept that the variable captures. For example, the variable label of S12SIGHT is:

S12SIGHT:W12 S SELF-RATED EYESIGHT

S12SIGHT

Spouse

Wave 12 (2014)

Self-rated eyesight

1. Introduction and Overview 12

It may seem duplicative to include the name of the variable and the wave in the variable label. However, statistical packages often suppress the variable name and instead use its label in the presentation of results.

1.5. Missing Values, and Nonresponse

Variables may contain missing values for several reasons. SAS and Stata offer the capability to distinguish multiple types of missing values, and we have attempted to record as much information as possible. Generally, the codes adhere to the classification in Table 1.

Table 1. Missing Codes

Code Reason for missing . Reference person did not respond to this wave .a Age ineligible .d Don’t know .r Refused .k No kids .n Not applicable .x Does not apply .q Data not available because question was not asked .u Reference person is not married (for spouse variables) .v Spouse did not respond this wave (for spouse variables) .s Information not available due to skip patterns .m Other missing

The coding scheme varies across variables. Consult the Data Codebook for details on individual variables.

1.6. Weighting and Accounting for Survey Design

The Harmonized HRS does not include weighting variables, rather the Harmonized HRS is meant to supplement the RAND HRS or the raw HRS data files. Therefore, in order to produce weighted estimates that correct for the complex survey design, users should use the weights provided by the RAND HRS or the HRS. For further information on the weights accounting for the survey’s design, please see, Data Description: Health and Retirement Study, Tracker 2014 (2017), or RAND HRS Longitudinal File Codebook (2018).

1.7. Availability of Physical Measures

Page 14: Harmonized HRS Documentation...Harmonized CRELES (Costa Rica) data. Further information about these Harmonized data files Further information about these Harmonized data files with

1. Introduction and Overview 13

The Harmonized HRS provides harmonized physical measure variables beginning in 2004, HRS wave 7. The HRS administered a set of 5 physical measures in 2004, which was only given to a random subsample of approximately 3,300 respondents. While all members of this sample were given the breathing and hand strength tests, smaller subsamples were given varying combinations of the walking test, and height and weight measurements.

Beginning in 2006, a random one-half of the sample was pre-selected to complete an enhanced face-to-face interview, including the performance of the physical measures and collection of the biomarker measurements. This sample was selected at a household-level, and the request for these measures were made to the respondent and to their partner or spouse if applicable. Respondents who were selected for the enhanced face-to-face interview but who resided in a nursing home, were interviewed by proxy, or declined a face-to-face interview in place of a telephone interview were not asked to complete the physical measures or biomarkers. For those selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, a consent form was administered by the interviewer. As a result of this sampling strategy, those not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, those residing in a nursing home, those interviewed by proxy, those who selected a phone interview, and those who refused to consent were not asked to complete the physical measures and biomarker measurements, and are assigned a special missing .s for these variables.

Those who did consent to this portion of the interview were asked to perform the following standardized physical measures: lung function, grip strength, balance tests, and walking speed. Additionally, the following biomarker measurements were taken: blood pressure, height, weight, and waist circumference. These measurements were completed in the following order: blood pressure, lung function, handgrip strength, balance tests, timed walk, height, weight, and waist circumference. If the respondent attempted the measure but failed to complete it, then a special missing .x is assigned for that measure. If the respondent did not attempt the measure due to safety concerns in the performance of the test, then a special missing .n is assigned for that measure.

For more information about the physical measures and biomarker measurements collected by the HRS, please see HRS Documentation Report: Documentation of Physical Measures, Anthropometrics and Blood Pressure in the Health and Retirement Study (2008).

1.8. Availability of Stress Measures

In 2015, Drs. Elissa Epel and Wendy Mendes partnered with Dr. Lis Nielsen of the NIA to form the Stress Measurement Network funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA/NIH R24 AG048024). The goal of the Stress Network is to promote better theory and measurement of psychosocial stress in population-based studies. One of the specific aims is to facilitate the use of stress measures in population based studies, which was led by Drs. Tara Gruenewald,

Alexandra Crosswell, and Jinkook Lee. It is hoped that identification of such measures will facilitate examination of the association of stressor conditions with cognitive-affective and physiological distress experience and poor psychological and physical health states hypothesized to follow from stressor exposure.

As a result of the work of the NIA Stress Measurement Network, the Harmonized HRS provides harmonized stress measures beginning in 1992, HRS wave 1, and through 2014, HRS wave 12. Select stress measures are added at waves 3, 4 and 7, however, the majority of stress measures are available between HRS waves 8 and 11, and many are discontinued starting in wave 12. The vast majority of the stress measures are collected in the psychosocial leave-behind questionnaire, which was piloted in 2004, HRS wave 7, and which began to collect data on a variety of psychosocial variables every 4 years in conjunction with the enhanced face-to-face interview in 2006, HRS wave 8. As a result of this sampling strategy, those not selected for a face-to-face interview and those who did not return the psychosocial leave-behind questionnaire are assigned a special missing .c for the applicable variables. A small number of measures are collected in the core interview or in the 2015 and 2017 life history mail surveys, which contain questions about residential history, education history, and other important childhood and family events.

HRS queried the lifetime occurrence of negative life events and traumas through event checklists, which included a subset of items that assessed experiences in childhood/adolescence (i.e., before the age of 18) and information on discrete events that can be categorized as major life stressors or traumatic events (e.g., death of a family member, loss of a job). HRS included an assessment of the experience of ongoing burdens or strains and the degree of upset experienced in relation to each for eight life domains (health, health of spouse or child, drug/alcohol problem in family member, work, finances, housing, close relationships, and caregiving). HRS included 14 measures of job strain/stress derived from the Karasek demand-control measure of job strain. HRS included measures of the frequency of discrimination experience in everyday life, as well as lifetime experience of discriminatory events (e.g., being unfairly denied a promotion or dismissed from a job, being unfairly denied a loan, being harassed or abused by police). Respondents were also asked to indicate the identities (e.g., age, sex, race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation) upon which they believe everyday were based. HRS included 7 measures of social strain and relationship support quality. Common indicators of social strain include assessments of social relationship targets as critical, irritating, and unreliable. HRS included up to 11 measures of loneliness. HRS included 9 measures of environmental/neighborhood disorder, chaos, danger, and/or lack of cohesion.

How Constructed

RwSIGHT indicates the respondent's self-rated eyesight while wearing glasses or corrective lenses as usual. Starting in wave 3, respondents are asked to rate their distance vision, and near vision while wearing glasses or corrective lenses as usual, these responses are coded in RwDSIGHT and RwNSIGHT, respectively. RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT are coded as follows: 1.excellent, 2.very good, 3.good, 4.fair, 5.poor, 6.blind. Please note that blind is not a specified option,but rather a voluntary response from the respondent. If the respondent reports blindness forself-rated eyesight in RwSIGHT, then RwDSIGHT and RwNSIGHT are coded for blindness as well. Don'tknow, refused, or other missing responses of RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT are assigned specialmissing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. Other responses to RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHTare assigned special missing code .o. In wave 2, proxy respondents are not asked about vision, soRwSIGHT is assigned special missing .p. RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT are set to plain missing(.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave.

SwSIGHT, SwDSIGHT, and SwNSIGHT indicate the self-rated eyesight, distance vision, and near vision of the respondent's current wave's spouse, and are taken from RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT,

2. Structure of Codebook 17

SwSIGHT, SwDSIGHT, and SwNSIGHT employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross-Wave Differences in HRS

In wave 2, proxy respondents are not asked about vision, so RwSIGHT is assigned special missing .p.

RwDSIGHT and RwNSIGHT are available starting in wave 3.

How Constructed: INWwSC indicates whether the respondent was eligible for and completed the self-completion questionnaire, also known as the leave behind questionnaire. INWwSC is coded as 0 if the respondent was not eligible for a self-completion questionnaire, either because they were not selected for a face-to-face interview or they were selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview but completed the interview by phone, or they did not complete the self-completion questionnaire. INWwSC is coded as 1 if the respondent was eligible for the self-completion questionnaire because they completed an enhanced face-to-face interview as a self-respondent, with a proxy, or in a nursing home, and they completed the questionnaire and either returned it by mail, completed it by phone with an interviewer, or it was completed by proxy. INWwSC is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave.

How Constructed: RwSCPROXY indicates whether the self-completion questionnaire was completed by proxy. RwSCPROXY is coded as 1 if the self-completion questionnaire was completed by proxy, and is coded as 0 if the self-completion questionnaire was completed by the respondent and returned by mail, or if it was completed with the help of an interviewer by phone. RwSCPROXY is coded as special missing .m if the self-completion questionnaire was not completed, or if the respondent was not eligible for the self-completion questionnaire. RwSCPROXY is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwSCPROXY indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse's self-completion questionnaire was completed by proxy, and its values are taken from RwSCPROXY. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwSCPROXY, SwSCPROXY employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS While the self-completion questionnaires began to be distributed in wave 7, there is no indicator of whether the questionnaire was completed by the respondent or a proxy. Whether the self-completion questionnaire was completed by a proxy is tracked beginning in wave 8.

How Constructed: RwLANG_H indicates the language that the interview was conducted in. RwLANG_H is coded as 1 if the interview was conducted in English, and is coded as 2 if the interview was conducted in Spanish. In HRS wave 2, the language of interview was not ascertained for a small portion of the sample, in which case RwLANG_H is assigned special missing .m. RwLANG_H is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwLANG_H indicates the language that the current wave’s spouse’s interview was conducted in, and its values are taken from RwLANG_H. In addition to the special missings used in RwLANG_H, SwLANG_H employs two additional special missing values, .u and .v. If the respondent is not designated as coupled in the current wave and assumed to be single a special missing value of .u is used. If the respondent is not designated as coupled in the current wave but reports being married a special missing value of .v is used.

How Constructed: RAEDUCL identifies the level of education completed according to a three-tier harmonized scale which we developed to compare education levels across countries. This Harmonized education scale is a simplified version of 1997 International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) codes. For more information

Page 34: Harmonized HRS Documentation...Harmonized CRELES (Costa Rica) data. Further information about these Harmonized data files Further information about these Harmonized data files with

Section A: Demographics 33

on ISCED codes, see www.uis.unesco.org and the OECD document entitled "Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries, 1999 Edition". RAEDUCL is coded as follows: 1.Less than upper secondary education, 2.Upper secondary & vocational training, and 3.Tertiary education. The values for RAEDUCL are assigned based on the RAND HRS variable, RAEDUC. The RAEDUC value of 1.less than high school is assigned a value of 1 in RAEDUCL, for less than upper secondary education. The RAEDUC values of 2.GED, 3.High-school graduate, or 4.some college are assigned a value of 2 in RAEDUCL, for upper secondary and vocational training. The RAEDUC value of 5.college and above is assigned a value of 3 in RAEDUCL, for tertiary education. Please see RAEDUC in the RAND HRS for additional information on the creation of RAEDUC. RAEDUCL is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to any wave. SwEDUCL indicates the current wave’s spouse’s category of education. They are taken from the spouse's value to RAEDUCL. If the respondent is not designated as coupled in the current wave and assumed to be single a special missing value of .u is used. If the respondent is not designated as coupled in the current wave but reports being married a special missing value of .v is used. SwEDUCL is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to this waves.

How Constructed: RwWIDSLW indicates whether the respondent is newly widowed or had a spouse die since the last interview. RwWIDSLW is coded as 1 if the respondent reports becoming widowed, when directly asked if they divorced or became widowed, or if the respondent's marital status (RwMSTATH) changed from married in the previous wave to widowed in the current wave. RwWIDSLW is coded as 0 if the respondent did not directly report becoming widowed, if the respondent's marital status did not change, or if the respondent's marital status changed but did not change from married to widowed. RwPARDSLW indicates whether the respondent had a parent die since the last interview. RwPARDSLW is coded as 1 if the respondent has fewer living parents in the current wave than in the previous wave. RwPARDSLW is coded as 0 if the respondent's parents are both already deceased, if the respondent's parents are both still alive, or if there is no change in the number of the respondent's parents. HwCHIDSLW indicates whether the respondent had a child die since the last interview. HwCHIDSLW is coded as 1 if the respondent reports fewer living children in the current wave than in the previous wave using HwCHILD, or if the number of deceased children increased in the current wave compared to the previous wave using HwDIEDKN. HwCHIDSLW is coded as 0 if the respondent reports the same or a greater number of living children in the current wave compared to the previous wave, or if the number of deceased children remains unchanged between the current and previous wave. In waves 8 through 11, respondents who complete the leave behind questionnaire are asked if they have ever had a child die, and if so, what year the child died. HwCHIDSLW is coded as 1 if the respondent reported that a child died in 2005-2006 for wave 8, in 2007-2008 for wave 9, in 2009-2010 for wave 10, or in 2011-2012 for wave 11, or if the previously described conditions are met. HwCHIDSLW is coded as 0 if the respondent has never had a child die, if their child passed away in a different year, or if the previously described conditions are met. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses for RwWIDSLW, RwPARDSLW, and HwCHIDSLW are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .b is assigned if the respondent is a new respondent in the current wave. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent has been previously interviewed but was not interviewed in the previous wave. Special missing .i is assigned to RwWIDSLW if the respondent has an unknown unmarried status in the current wave. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample were not previously interviewed, so RwWIDSLW, and RwPARDSLW, cannot be calculated and are assigned special missing .q in wave 2. RwWIDSLW, RwPARDSLW, and HwCHIDSLW are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwWIDSLW and SwPARDSLW indicate whether the respondent's current wave's spouse became widowed or lost a parent, respectively, since the last interview. Their values are taken from RwWIDSLW and RwPARDSLW. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwWIDSLW and RwPARDSLW, SwWIDSLW and SwPARDSLW employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS RwWIDSLW, RwPARDSLW, and RwSIBDSLW are available starting in wave 2. HwCHIDSLW is available starting in wave 3. In waves 8 through 11, this variable incorporates information from two questions in the leave behind questionnaire in addition to the variables used in the other waves.

How Constructed: RwMARSLW indicates whether the respondent is newly married since the last interview. RwMARSLW is coded as 1 if the respondent reports being newly married, when directly asked if a marriage began after the previous interview, or if the respondent's marital status (RwMSTATH) changed from separated, divorced, widowed, never married, or unknown in the previous wave to married in the current wave. RwMARSLW is coded as 0 if the respondent did not directly report being newly married, if the respondent's marital status did not change, or if the respondent's marital status changed but did not change from being unmarried to married. RwDIVSLW indicates whether the respondent became divorced or separated since the last interview. RwDIVSLW is coded as 1 if the respondent reports being newly divorced, when directly asked if they divorced or became widowed, or if the respondent's marital status (RwMSTATH) changed from married in the previous wave to divorced or separated in the current wave. RwDIVSLW is coded as 0 if the respondent did not

directly report becoming divorced or separated, if the respondent's marital status did not change, or if the respondent's marital status changed but did not change from being married to divorced or separated. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses for RwMARSLW and RwDIVSLW are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .b is assigned if the respondent is a new respondent in the current wave. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent has been previously interviewed but was not interviewed in the previous wave. Special missing .i is assigned if the respondent has an unknown unmarried status in the current wave. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample were not previously interviewed, so RwMARSLW and RwDIVDSLW cannot be calculated and are assigned special missing .q in wave 2. RwMARSLW and RwDIVSLW are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwMARSLW and SwDIVSLW indicate whether the respondent's current wave's spouse became married or divorced since the last interview, respectively. Their values are taken from RwMARSLW and RwDIVSLW. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwMARSLW and RwDIVSLW, SwMARSLW and SwDIVSLW employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS RwMARSLW and RwDIVSLW are available starting in wave 2. Please note that RwMSTATH in the RAND HRS assigns values of 4.separated and 5.divorced for all HRS sample respondents, and assigns a value of 6.separated/divorced for AHEAD respondents.

RwMCRTYR is derived by calculating the difference between the respondent's interview end year (RwIWENDY) and the reported current length of marriage (RwMCURLN). Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses of RwMCRTYR are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwMCRTYR is assigned special missing .u if the respondent is currently unmarried. RwMCRTYR is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwMCRTYR is the current wave's spouse's year of marriage, and is taken from the spouse's values to RwMCRTYR. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwMCRTYR, SwMCRTYR employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

How Constructed: RAMFSTYR is the year of the respondent's first marriage. Respondents are directly asked the year their first marriage began, and RAMFSTYR takes the first reported non-missing value. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses of RAMFSTYR are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. If the respondent reports that they have never been married, RAMFSTYR is assigned special missing .n. Special missing .s is assigned if the respondent did not indicate how many times they had been married in the AHEAD sample in wave 2. Starting in wave 4, respondents who live in a nursing home are not asked this question and are assigned special missing .h. RAMFSTYR is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to any wave. SwMFSTYR is the year of the respondent's current wave spouse's first marriage, and is taken from the respondent's values to RAMFSTYR. In addition to the special missing codes used in RAMFSTYR, SwMFSTYR employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample in wave 2 are not directly asked the year of the respondent's first marriage. Therefore, if the respondent indicates he/she has only been married once, then we take the

value of the reported year of current marriage as the year of the respondent's first marriage, and assign special missing .s if the respondent did not report his/her number of marriages. Starting in wave 4, respondents who live in a nursing home are not asked this question and are assigned special missing .h.

How Constructed: HwLVWITH indicates the living arrangement of the household. A code of 1 indicates that the respondent lives alone. A code of 2 indicates that the respondent lives only with a spouse. A code of 3 indicates that the respondent lives only with children. A code of 4 indicates that the respondent lives with a spouse and children. A code of 5 indicates that the respondent lives with a combination of spouse, children and/or other household members. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses of HwLVWITH are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. HwLVWITH is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. HwLVALONE indicates whether the respondent lives alone. A code of 1 indicates that the respondent lives by himself/herself. A code of 0 indicates that the respondent lives with others. The respondent is considered to live alone if there is only one resident in the household (HwHHRES) and only one respondent in the household (HwHHRESP). HwLVSPOUSE indicates whether the respondent lives only with a spouse. A code of 1 indicates that the respondent only lives with a spouse. A code of 0 indicates that the respondent does not live with a spouse only or that the respondent lives alone. The respondent is considered to live with a spouse if the respondent reports being married or partnered, and reports living with a spouse when asked directly. HwLVKIDS indicates whether the respondent lives with children only. A code of 1 indicates that the respondent lives only with children. A code of 0 indicates that the respondent does not live with children only or that the respondent lives alone. The respondent is considered to live with children if there is at least one co-resident child (HwRESDKN). HwLVSPKID indicates whether the respondent lives with a spouse and children. A code of 1 indicates that the respondent lives with a spouse and at least one child. A code of 0 indicates that the respondent lives with people other than a spouse and children only or that the respondent lives alone. HwLVOTHER indicates whether the respondent lives with other people, besides a spouse and children. A code of 1 indicates that the respondent lives with at least one other person besides a spouse and children. A code of 0 indicates that the respondent does not live with any other people besides a spouse and/or children or that the respondent lives alone. The respondent is considered to live with other people if the respondent reports any other person living in the household, as reported in the HRS PR_MC file or the wave 2 HHLIST file. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses of HwLVALONE, HwLVSPOUS, HwLVKIDS, HwLVSPKID, and HwLVOTHER are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. HwLVALONE, HwLVSPOUS, HwLVKIDS,

HwLVSPKID, and HwLVOTHER are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In wave 1, whether the respondent lives with any other people is determined through a variable in the main dataset indicating the number of people other than the respondent and spouse living in the household, rather than from variables in the HHLIST or PR_MC file. In wave 2, whether the respondent lives with any other people is determined through a variable in the main dataset indicating the number of people other than the respondent and spouse living in the household, in addition to variables in the HHLIST file. In wave 2, there are 5 respondents that have values of H2HHRES equal to 1 and H2HHRESP equal to 2. In these cases, if the respondent is married then they are considered to live with a spouse, and if the respondent is separated, divorced, or never married then they are considered to live with someone other than a spouse or child. For more information on the type of "other" relationships besides spouse and children, please see the corresponding codebook for the W2HHLIST datafile, or each wave's PR_MC datafile.

How Constructed: RwHOMETYP indicates the type of home that the respondent mainly resides in. A code of 1 indicates that the respondent lives in a mobile home. A code of 2 indicates that the respondent lives in a one family house. A code of 3 indicates that the respondent lives in a two family house/duplex. A code of 4 indicates that the respondent lives in an apartment, a condo, a townhouse or a 3 to 4 family house. A code of 5 indicates that the respondent lives in a senior/retirement community. A code of 6 indicates that the respondent lives in a nursing home. A code of 7 indicates that the respondent lives in another kind of property that has not been mentioned in the list. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses for RwHOMETYP are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. In wave 1, if the respondent lives on a ranch or farm, RwHOMETYP is assigned special missing .s, which is carried forward in following waves if the respondent reports not moving. RwHOMETYP is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwHOMETYP indicates the type of property that the current wave's spouse mainly resides in, and is taken from the spouse's values to RwHOMETYP. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwHOMETYP, SwHOMETYP employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwFARM indicates whether the respondent is living on a farm or ranch. A code of 1 indicates that the respondent lives on a farm or ranch. A code of 0 indicates that respondent does not live on a farm or ranch. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses for RwFARM are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. In wave 2, respondents who report living in senior housing or belong to a housing association are not asked this question and are assigned special missing .s, which is carried forward in future waves if the respondent does not report moving. Starting in wave 3, special missing .h is assigned if the respondent is not asked this question because they are living in a nursing home. RwFARM is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwFARM indicates whether the current wave's spouse lives on a farm or ranch, and is taken from the spouse's values to RwFARM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwFARM, SwFARM employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In wave 1, the structure type of the respondent's main residence is observed by the interviewer and living on a ranch or farm is one of the options. Starting in wave 2, the type of property is asked to the respondent in the housing module and living on a ranch or farm is not one of the options, instead living on a ranch or farm is a separate question. In wave 1, if the respondent lives on a ranch or farm, RwHOMETYP is assigned special missing .s, which is carried forward in following waves if the respondent reports not moving. In wave 2, respondents who report living in senior housing or belong to a housing association are not asked RwFARM and are assigned special missing .s, which is carried forward in future waves if the respondent does not report moving. Starting in wave 3, special missing .h is assigned to RwFARM if the respondent is not asked this question because they are living in a nursing home. Please note that in waves 3, 6, 7, and 8, respondents do not have the option of selecting that they live in a senior housing/retirement center, or assisted living.

How Constructed: HwRURAL indicates whether the respondent's household lives in an urban or rural area. HwRURAL is coded as 0 if the respondent lives in an urban area. HwRURAL is coded as 1 if the respondent lives in a rural area. The data used to derive these variables is taken from the Census Region/Division and Mobility File. This file includes designations based on Beale Rural Urban codes by wave using 1993, 2003, and 2013 coding. We employed 1993 coding for the years 1992-2002, 2003 coding for the years 2004-2012, and 2013 coding for the year 2014. We consider those with urban and suburban codes in the Census file to live in an urban area, and those with ex-urban codes in the Census file to live in a rural area. HwRURAL is coded as .n if there is no match for the Beale Rural Urban code. HwRURAL is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave.

How Constructed: RwMOVESLW indicates whether the respondent moved to their current main residence since the last interview. A code of 1 is assigned if the respondent moved to the current main residence since the last interview. A code of 0 is assigned if the respondent did not move since the last interview. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses of RwMOVESLW are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .b is assigned if the respondent is a new respondent in the current wave. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent has been previously interviewed but was not interviewed in the previous wave. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample were not asked about moving from their main residence, so they are assigned special missing .q in wave 2. In the HRS sample in wave 3, a programming error resulted in this question not being asked to a small sample of respondents, so special missing .s is assigned. RwMOVESLW is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwMOVESLW indicates whether the current wave's spouse moved to their current main residence since the last interview, and is taken from the spouse's values to RwMOVESLW. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwMOVESLW, SwMOVESLW employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS RwMOVESLW is available starting in wave 2. This question is not asked in the AHEAD 1 questionnaire, so these respondents are assigned special missing .q. In the HRS sample in wave 3, a programming error resulted in this question not being asked to a small sample of respondents, so special missing .s is assigned.

How Constructed: RAARRIAGE indicates the age that the respondent first started living in the United States. RAARRIAGE is taken from the age that the respondent reported arriving in the US. If the age arrived in the US is not reported but the year arrived or number of years since arrival is reported, RAARRIAGE is derived by subtracting the year from the respondent's birth year, or by subtracting the number of years ago the respondent arrived from the respondent's age at interview. RAARRIAGE takes the first reported non-missing value. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses of RAARRIAGE are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .b is assigned if the respondent was born in the United States. Special missing .i is assigned if the value is invalid. RAARRIAGE is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to any wave. SwARRIAGE indicates the age that the current wave's spouse first started living in the United States, and is taken from the spouse's values to RAARRIAGE. In addition to the special missing codes used in RAARRIAGE, SwARRIAGE employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RACITIZEN indicates whether the respondent was a citizen of the United States when they were asked in the HRS survey. This question was added to the HRS in Wave 8 and was asked once between waves 8 to 12 to every person not born in the United States. A code of 1 is assigned if the respondent was born in the United States or reported that they were a citzen of the United States. A code of 0 is assigned if the respondent is not a US citizen. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses of RwCITIZEN are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. RACITIZEN is assigned special missing .s if the respondent was no longer part of the panel by Wave 8 when this question was added to the HRS survey. SwCITIZEN indicates whether the current wave's spouse is a citizen of the United States, and is taken from the spouse's values to RACITIZEN. In addition to the special missing codes used in RACITIZEN, SwCITIZEN employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS For RAARRIAGE, the respondents can only report the year they came to the United States in the first wave. Starting in wave 2, the respondents have the option to report the age they came to the United States, the year they came to the US, or how many years ago they came to the US. Starting in wave 4, HRS changed the question wording from "In about what year did you come to the United States?" to "In about what year did you first come to live in the United States?" Questions related to the respondent's citizenship status, as coded in RACITIZEN, were not asked until wave 8 and are only asked once to each respondent.

A code of 1 indicates that the respondent does use the internet. If the respondent does not use the internet, a code of 0 is assigned. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses of RwEMAIL are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .p is assigned if the respondent is not asked this question because the interview was by proxy. RwEMAIL is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwEMAIL indicates whether the current wave's spouse uses the World Wide Web, or Internet, for sending and receiving email or for any other purpose, and is taken from the spouse's values to RwEMAIL. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwEMAIL, SwEMAIL employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions about internet or email use were added in wave 6. This question was not asked to proxy respondents in Waves 6, 7, and 8, but starting in Wave 9 it was asked to proxy respondents.

How Constructed: RwSIGHT indicates the respondent's self-rated eyesight while wearing glasses or corrective lenses as usual. Starting in wave 3, respondents are asked to rate their distance vision, and near vision while wearing glasses or corrective lenses as usual, these responses are coded in RwDSIGHT and RwNSIGHT, respectively. RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT are coded as follows: 1.excellent, 2.very good, 3.good, 4.fair, 5.poor, 6.blind. Please note that blind is not a specified option, but rather a voluntary response from the respondent. If the respondent reports blindness for self-rated eyesight in RwSIGHT, then RwDSIGHT and RwNSIGHT are coded for blindness as well. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. Other responses to RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT are assigned special missing code .o. In wave 2, proxy respondents are not asked about vision, so RwSIGHT is assigned special missing .p. RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwSIGHT, SwDSIGHT, and SwNSIGHT indicate the self-rated eyesight, distance vision, and near vision of the respondent's current wave's spouse, and are taken from RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwSIGHT, RwDSIGHT, and RwNSIGHT, SwSIGHT, SwDSIGHT, and SwNSIGHT employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwCATRCT indicates whether the respondent reported having cataract surgery this wave. RwCATRCTE indicates whether the respondent has ever reported having cataract surgery. RwCATRCT and RwCATRCTE are available starting in wave 2. RwCATRCT and RwCATRCTE are coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Starting in wave 4, respondents who are younger than age 65 are not asked about cataract surgery and are assigned a special missing code .a. Starting in wave 4, respondents who reported having cataract surgery on both eyes in a previous wave are not asked about cataract surgery this wave and RwCATRCT is assigned a special missing code .b. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwCATRCT and RwCATRCTE are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked this question and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2. Respondents in the HRS wave 3 sample are not asked this question and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 3. RwCATRCT and RwCATRCTE are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwCATRCT and SwCATRCTE indicate whether the respondent's current wave's spouse reported this wave or has ever had cataract surgery, and are taken from RwCATRCT and RwCATRCTE. In addition to the special missing

codes employed by RwCATRCT and RwCATRCTE, SwCATRCT and SwCATRCTE employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwNCATRCT indicates the number of eyes the respondent has had cataract surgery on. RwNCATRCT is available starting in wave 3. RwNCATRCT is coded as follows: 1.one eye only, 2.both eyes. RwNCATRCT is coded as .x if the respondent has not reported any cataract surgery. Starting in wave 4, respondents who are younger than age 65 are not asked about cataract surgery and are assigned special missing .a. Starting in wave 4, respondents who reported having cataract surgery on both eyes in a previous wave are not asked about cataract surgery and RwNCATRCT is assigned a special missing code .b. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwNCATRCT are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwNCATRCT is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwNCATRCT indicates the number of eyes the respondent's current wave's spouse has had cataract surgery on, and is taken from RwNCATRCT. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwNCATRCT, SwNCATRCT employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwGLAUCOMA indicates whether the respondent has ever been treated for glaucoma. RwGLAUCOMA is coded as 1 if the respondent has ever been treated for glaucoma, and is coded as 0 if the respondent has never been treated for glaucoma. RwGLAUCOMA is available starting in wave 3. Respondents who are younger than age 65 are not asked about being treated for glaucoma and are assigned a special missing code .a. In wave 3, respondents in the HRS wave 3 sample are not asked this question and are assigned special missing code .q. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwGLAUCOMA are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwGLAUCOMA is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwGLAUCOMA indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has ever been treated for glaucoma, and is taken from RwGLAUCOMA. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwGLAUCOMA, SwGLAUCOMA employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In wave 2, proxy respondents are not asked about vision, so RwSIGHT is assigned special missing .p. Questions about distance and near vision are asked starting in wave 3, and so RwDSIGHT and RwNSIGHT are available starting in wave 3. Questions about cataracts are asked starting in wave 2, and so RwCATRCT and RwCATRCTE are available starting in wave 2. Questions about the number of eyes the respondent has had cataract surgery on are asked starting in wave 3, and so RwNCATRCT is available starting in wave 3. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked about cataract surgery, so RwCATRCT and RwCATRCTE are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2. Respondents in the HRS wave 3 sample are not asked about cataract surgery, so RwCATRCT, RwCATRCTE, and RwNCATRCT are assigned special missing code .q in wave 3. Starting in wave 4, respondents who are younger than age 65 are not asked about cataract surgery, so RwCATRCT, RwCATRCTE, and RwNCATRCT are assigned a special missing code .a. Starting in wave 4, respondents who reported having cataract surgery on both eyes in a previous wave are not asked about cataract surgery and RwCATRCT and RwNCATRCT are assigned a special missing code .b. Questions about treatment for glaucoma are asked starting in wave 3, and so RwGLAUCOMA is available starting in wave 3. In wave 3, respondents in the wave 3 HRS sample are not asked RwGLAUCOMA and are assigned special missing code .q.

How Constructed: RwHEARING indicates the respondent's self-rated hearing. RwHEARING is coded as follows: 1.excellent, 2.very good, 3.good, 4.fair, 5.poor. RwHEARING is taken from a single question asking the respondent to rate their hearing while wearing a hearing aid or as usual. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwHEARING are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. Other responses

to RwHEARING are assigned special missing code .o. In wave 2, proxy respondents are not asked about hearing, so RwHEARING is assigned special missing .p. RwHEARING is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwHEARING indicates the self-rated hearing of the respondent's current wave's spouse, and is taken from RwHEARING. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHEARING, SwHEARING employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwHEARAID indicates whether the respondent ever wears a hearing aid. RwHEARAID is coded as follows: 0.no, 1.yes. If the respondent reports wearing a hearing aid, this answer is carried forward in future waves. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwHEARAID are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwHEARAID is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwHEARAID indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse ever wears a hearing aid, and is taken from RwHEARAID. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHEARAID, SwHEARAID employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents can only report "other" in wave 3, as part of the AHEAD2 sample, so special missing .o is only available this wave. In wave 2, proxy respondents are not asked about hearing, so RwHEARING is assigned special missing .p.

How Constructed: RwFALL1Y indicates whether the respondent has fallen down in the last year, and is only available in wave 2. RwFALL indicates whether the respondent has fallen down in the last 2 years, and is available starting in wave 3. RwFALLE indicates whether the respondent has ever fallen down, and is available starting in wave 2. RwFALL1Y, RwFALL, and RwFALLE are coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. In wave 2, respondents who were part of the wave 2 HRS sample were not asked this question and are assigned a special missing .q in wave 2. In wave 3, respondents younger than age 68 are not asked about falling and are assigned special missing .a. Starting in wave 4, respondents younger than age 65 are not asked about falling and are assigned special missing .a. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwFALL1Y, RwFALL, and RwFALLE are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwFALL1Y, RwFALL, and RwFALLE are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwFALL1Y, SwFALL, and SwFALLE indicate whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has fallen in the appropriate time period, and are taken from RwFALL1Y, RwFALL, and RwFALLE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwFALL1Y, RwFALL, and RwFALLE, SwFALL1Y, SwFALL, and SwFALLE employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwFALLINJ indicates whether the respondent has ever been injured seriously enough from a fall to need medical treatment, and is available starting in wave 2. RwFALLINJ is coded as 0.no and 1.yes. RwFALLINJ is assigned special missing .x if the respondent did not experience a fall in the previous year or two years, depending on the wave. In wave 2, respondents who were part of the wave 2 HRS sample were not asked this question and are assigned a special missing .q in wave 2. In wave 3, respondents younger than age 68 are not asked about falling and are assigned special missing .a. Starting in wave 4, respondents younger than age 65 are not asked about falling and are assigned special missing .a. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwFALLINJ are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwFALLINJ is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwFALLINJ indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has injured himself/herself in a fall, and is taken from RwFALLINJ. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwFALLINJ, SwFALLINJ employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwFALLNUM indicates the number of times the respondent has fallen in the last 2 years, and is available starting in wave 3. RwFALLNUM is assigned a 0 if the respondent did not experience a fall in the previous two years. In wave 3, respondents younger than age 68 are not asked about falling and are assigned special missing .a. Starting in wave 4, respondents younger than age 65 are not asked about falling and are assigned special missing .a. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwFALLNUM are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwFALLNUM is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwFALLNUM indicates the number of times the respondent's current wave's spouse has fallen in the last 2 years, and is taken from RwFALLNUM. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwFALLNUM, SwFALLNUM employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

RwHIPE indicates whether the respondent has ever had a broken hip. RwHIPE is coded as 0.no and 1.yes. In wave 2, respondents of all ages are asked about a broken hip. In wave 3, respondents younger than age 68 are not asked about a broken hip and are assigned special missing .a. Starting in wave 4, respondents younger than age 65 are not asked about a broken hip and are assigned special missing .a. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwHIPE are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwHIPE is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwHIPE indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has ever had a broken hip, and is taken from RwHIPE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHIPE, SwHIPE employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions about falls begin in wave 2. RwFALL1Y is only available in wave 2 when the question about falling uses a time period of one year. In wave 2, respondents who were part of the wave 2 HRS sample were not asked this question and are assigned a special missing .q in wave 2. RwFALL is available starting in wave 3 when the questions about falling use a time period of two years. Questions about every falling and injuries from falling begin in wave 2, and so RwFALLE and RwFALLINJ are available starting in wave 2. Questions about the number of falls begin in wave 3, and so RwFALLNUM is available starting in wave 3. In wave 3, respondents younger than age 68 are not asked about falling, so RwFALL, RwFALLE, RwFALLINJ, and RwFALLNUM are assigned special missing .a. Starting in wave 4, respondents younger than age 65 are not asked about falling and these variables are assigned special missing .a. Questions about breaking a hip begin in wave 2, and so RwHIPE is available starting in wave 2. In wave 2, respondents of all ages are asked about a broken hip. In wave 3, respondents younger than age 68 are not asked about a broken hip and are assigned special missing .a. Starting in wave 4, respondents younger than age 65 are not asked about a broken hip and are assigned special missing .a.

How Constructed: RwURINA indicates whether the respondent has experienced any urinary incontinence in the past 12 months. RwURINA is available starting in wave 2. RwURINA is coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. In wave 2, respondents who were part of the wave 2 HRS sample were not asked this question and are assigned a special missing .q in wave 2. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwURINA are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwURINA is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwURINA indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has experienced any incontinence, and is taken from RwURINA. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwURINA, SwURINA employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Section B: Health 110

RwURINAF indicates the number of days the respondent experienced urinary incontinence in the last month. RwURINAF is available starting in wave 2. RwURINAF takes values from 0 to 31, with 31 indicating the presence of urinary incontinence every day. If the respondent does not experience any urinary incontinence, RwURINAF is set to 0. In wave 2, respondents who were part of the wave 2 HRS sample were not asked this question and are assigned a special missing .q in wave 2. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwURINAF are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwURINAF is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwURINAF indicates the number of days the respondent's current wave's spouse experienced incontinence, and is taken from RwURINAF. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwURINAF, SwURINAF employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwURINPAD indicates whether the respondent ever uses any absorbent products such as pads, special garments, sanitary napkins, or toilet paper for urinary incontinence. RwURINPAD is available in waves 2 through 6. RwURINPAD is coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. If the respondent does not experience any urinary incontinence, RwURINPAD is set to .x. In wave 2, respondents who were part of the wave 2 HRS sample were not asked this question and are assigned a special missing .q in wave 2. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwURINPAD are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwURINPAD is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwURINPAD indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse ever uses absorbent products for incontinence, and is taken from RwURINPAD. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwURINPAD, SwURINPAD employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwURINAMT indicates how much urine the respondent usually leaks. RwURINAMT is coded as follows: 1.a few drops, 2.a small amount, 3.a large amount. RwURINAMT is available in waves 6 through 11. If the respondent does not experience any urinary incontinence, RwURINAMT is set to .x. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwURINAMT are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwURINAMT is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwURINAMT indicates how much urine the respondent's current wave's spouse usually leaks, and is taken from RwURINAMT. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwURINAMT, SwURINAMT employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwURINCGH indicates how frequently the respondent leaks urine during activities like coughing, sneezing, lifting or exercise. RwURINURG indicates how frequently the respondent leaks urine with an urge to urinate and could not get to the bathroom fast enough. RwURINCGH and RwURINURG are coded as follows: 1.most of the time, 2.some of the time, 3.rarely or never. RwURINCGH and RwURINURG are available in waves 6 through 11. If the respondent does not experience any urinary incontinence, these variables are set to .x. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of these variables are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwURINCGH and RwURINURG are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwURINCGH and SwURINURG indicate how frequently the respondent's current wave's spouse leaks urine when coughing or with an urge to go, and is taken from RwURINCGH and RwURINURG. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwURINCGH and RwURINURG, SwURINCGH and SwURINURG employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions about urinary incontinence, the frequency of urinary incontinence, and using absorbent products begin in wave 2, and so RwURINA, RwURINAF, and RwURINPAD are available starting in wave 2. These questions are not asked to those in the wave 2 HRS sample, so special missing code .q is only applicable in wave 2 for these variables and these respondents.

Section B: Health 111

Starting in wave 7, questions about using absorbent products are no longer asked and so RwURINPAD is no longer available. Questions about the amount of urine leakage, leaking urine when coughing, or leaking urine with an urge to urinate are asked in waves 6 through 11 only, and so RwURINAMT, RwURINCGH, and RwURINURG are available starting in wave 6, and no longer available starting in wave 12.

How Constructed: RwNOTEETH indicates whether the respondent has lost all of their teeth. RwNOTEETH is available starting in wave 8. RwNOTEETH is coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Yes responses are carried forward to future waves. While new respondents are always asked this question, re-interview respondents are only asked this question every third wave, so re-interview respondents were not asked this question in waves 9 and 10 but were asked this question again in wave 11. Respondents who were skipped because they were re-interview respondents during a non-asking wave are assigned special missing .s. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwNOTEETH are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwNOTEETH is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave.

SwNOTEETH indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has lost all of their teeth, and is taken from RwNOTEETH. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwNOTEETH, SwNOTEETH employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS The question about not having teeth begins in wave 8 and so RwNOTEETH is available starting in wave 8. New respondents are always asked this question but re-interview respondents are only asked this question every third wave, so re-interview respondents were not asked this question in waves 9 and 10 but were asked this question again in wave 11, and the same pattern continues into later waves.

How Constructed: RwFALLSLP, RwWAKENT, RwWAKEUP, and RwRESTED indicate the frequency with which the respondent experiences sleep issues. RwFALLSLP indicates how often the respondent has trouble falling asleep. RwWAKENT indicates how often the respondent wakes up during the night. RwWAKEUP indicates how often the respondent wakes up too early and is unable to go back to sleep. RwRESTED indicates how often the respondent feels rested when they wake up. These variables are coded as 1.most of the time, 2.sometimes, 3.rarely or never. These variables are asked starting in wave 6. Starting in wave 9 and in the following odd numbered waves, only new respondents are asked RwFALLSLP, RwWAKENT, and RwWAKEUP, as such, returning respondents are assigned special missing .s in these waves. RwRESTED is asked to all respondents in all waves. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of these variables are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwFALLSLP, SwWAKENT, SwWAKEUP, and SwRESTED indicate the frequency with which the respondent's current wave's spouse has experienced sleep issues, and are taken from RwFALLSLP, RwWAKENT, RwWAKEUP, and RwRESTED. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwFALLSLP, RwWAKENT, RwWAKEUP, and RwRESTED, SwFALLSLP, SwWAKENT, SwWAKEUP, and SwRESTED employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A

special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwRXSLP indicates whether the respondent takes medication to help them sleep, and is available starting in wave 8. RwRXSLP is coded as 1.yes, 0.no. Respondents are asked if they regularly take prescription medication, and if they do regularly take prescription medication, they are asked if they regularly take medication to help them sleep. Those who report not regularly taking prescription medication are assigned a value of 0. Additionally, respondents are asked several questions about their sleep, the last of which asks if they have taken any medications or used other treatments to help them sleep in the past 2 weeks. Respondents are considered to take medication to help them sleep if they answer positively to either question. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwRXSLP are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwRXSLP is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwRXSLP indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse takes medication to help them sleep, and is taken from RwRXSLP. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwRXSLP, SwRXSLP employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions about sleep difficulties begin in wave 6, and so RwFALLSLP, RwWAKENT, RwWAKEUP, and RwRESTED are available starting in wave 6. Starting in wave 9 and in the following odd numbered waves, only new respondents are asked RwFALLSLP, RwWAKENT, and RwWAKEUP, as such, returning respondents are assigned special missing .s in these waves. The question about waking up rested is asked to all respondents in all waves. Questions about whether the respondent takes medication to help them sleep begins in wave 8, and so RwRXSLP is available starting in wave 8.

How Constructed: RwPAINFR indicates whether the respondent experiences frequent pain. RwPAINFR is coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwPAINFR are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwPAINFR is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. RwPAINLV indicates the respondent's usual level of pain. RwPAINLV is coded as 0.none, 1.mild, 2.moderate, 3.severe. If the respondent does not experience frequent pain, then RwPAINLV is assigned a value of 0. In waves 1 and 3, respondents who report that their worst pain is mild are not asked this question and are assigned a value of 1. AHEAD 1 respondents are not asked this question and are assigned special missing .q in wave 2. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwPAINLV are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwPAINLV is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. In waves 1 and 2, RwPAINW indicates whether the respondent's pain interferes with normal work. Starting in wave 2, RwPAINA indicates whether the respondent's pain interferes with normal activities. RwPAINW and RwPAINA are coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. If the respondent does not experience frequent pain, then RwPAINW and RwPAINA are assigned special missing .x. AHEAD 1 respondents are not asked this question and RwPAINW and RwPAINA are assigned special missing .q in wave 2. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of these variables are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwPAINFR, SwPAINLV, SwPAINW, and SwPAINA indicate the respondent's current wave's spouse's experience with pain, and are taken from RwPAINFR, RwPAINLV, RwPAINW, and RwPAINA. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwPAINFR, RwPAINLV, RwPAINW, and RwPAINA, SwPAINFR, SwPAINLV, SwPAINW, and SwPAINA employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwRXPAIN indicates whether the respondent takes medication for pain in their joints or muscles, and is available starting in wave 8. RwRXPAIN is coded as 1.yes, 0.no. Starting in wave 8, respondents are asked if they regularly take prescription medication, and if they do regularly take prescription medication, they are asked if they regularly take medication for pain in their joints or muscles. Those who report not regularly taking prescription medication are assigned a value of 0. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwRXPAIN are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwPAIN is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwRXPAIN indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse takes medication for pain, and is taken from RwRXPAIN. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwRXPAIN, SwRXPAIN employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents in wave 1 and wave 3 who report that their worst pain is mild are not asked about their usual level of pain and RwPAINLV is assigned a value of 1. The question about how the respondent's pain interferes with normal work is only asked in waves 1 and 2, and so RwPAINW is only available in waves 1 and 2. Starting in wave 2, the respondent is asked how pain interferes with normal activities, and RwPAINA is available.

AHEAD 1 respondents are not asked about usual pain levels, or how pain interferes with normal work or activities, and so RwPAINLV, RwPAINW, and RwPAINA are assigned special missing .q in wave 2. Questions about whether the respondent takes mediation for pain begin in wave 8, and so RwRXPAIN is available starting in wave 8.

How Constructed: RwHYSTERE indicates whether the respondent has ever had a hysterectomy. RwHYSTERE is available starting in wave 9. RwHYSTERE is coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Male respondents are assigned special missing .g. Proxy respondents are not asked about a hysterectomy and are assigned special missing .p. Starting in wave 10 and continuing in the even numbered waves, previously interviewed respondents are not asked this question and are assigned special missing .s. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwHYSTERE are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwHYSTERE is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwHYSTERE indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has ever had a hysterectomy, and is taken from RwHYSTERE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHYSTERE, SwHYSTERE employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwMENOPE indicates what stage of menopause the female respondent believes they are in. RwMENOPE is available starting in wave 9. RwMENOPE is coded as 1.without a sign, 2.just beginning, 3.in the middle, 4.near the end, 5.all through. RwMENOPE is assigned special missing .g if the respondent is not female and .h if the respondent reported having a hysterectomy. Respondents older than age 55 are not asked this question and are assigned special missing code .a. In wave 12, respondents who had been previously interviewed were not asked this question and are assigned special missing .s. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwMENOPE are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwMENOPE is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwMENOPE indicates what stage the respondent's current wave's spouse has reached in menopause, and is taken from RwMENOPE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwMENOPE, SwMENOPE employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report

being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions about a hysterectomy begin in wave 9, and so RwHYSTERE is available starting in wave 9. Starting in wave 10 and continuing in the even numbered waves, previously interviewed respondents are not asked this question and are assigned special missing .s. Questions about menopause stage begin in wave 9, and so RwMENOPE is available starting in wave 9. In wave 12, respondents who had been previously interviewed were not asked this questions and these respondents are assigned special missing .s.

How Constructed: RwSWELL, RwBREATH, RwDIZZY, RwBACKP, RwHEADACHE, RwFATIGUE, and RwWHEEZE indicate whether the respondent has experienced any persistent health problems in the last 2 years. These variables are available starting in wave 3. These variables are coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of these variables are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. Starting in wave 4 and in every even wave following, only new respondents are asked about the persistent health problems and these respondents are assigned special missing .s. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. RwSWELL indicates whether the respondent has experienced persistent swelling in their feet or ankles. RwBREATH indicates whether the respondent has experienced shortness of breath while awake. RwDIZZY indicates whether the respondent has experienced persistent dizziness or lightheadedness. RwBACKP indicates whether the respondent has experienced back pain or problems. RwHEADACHE indicates whether the respondent has experienced persistent headaches. RwFATIGUE indicates whether the respondent has experienced severe fatigue or exhaustion. RwWHEEZE indicates whether the respondent has experienced persistent wheezing, cough, or bringing up phlegm. SwSWELL, SwBREATH, SwDIZZY, SwBACKP, SwHEADACHE, SwFATIGUE, and SwWHEEZE indicate whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has experienced any persistent health problems, and are taken from RwSWELL, RwBREATH, RwDIZZY, RwBACKP, RwHEADACHE, RwFATIGUE, and RwWHEEZE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwSWELL, RwBREATH, RwDIZZY, RwBACKP, RwHEADACHE, RwFATIGUE, and RwWHEEZE, SwSWELL, SwBREATH, SwDIZZY, SwBACKP, SwHEADACHE, SwFATIGUE, and SwWHEEZE employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions about persistent health problems begin in wave 3, and so RwSWELL, RwBREATH, RwDIZZY, RwBACKP, RwHEADACHE, RwFATIGUE, and RwWHEEZE are available starting in wave 3. Starting in wave 4 and continuing in every even numbered wave, returning respondents are not asked about these persistent health problems and are assigned special missing .s. New respondents are asked about the persistent health problems in all available waves.

How Constructed: RwADLFIVE is a 5 item summary of any difficulty with activities of daily living. The activities of daily living included are bathing, dressing, eating, getting in and out of bed, and using the toilet. In wave 1, RwADLFIVE is the sum of RwBATH + RwDRESS + RwEAT + RwBED + v9034 (toilet), where "1.not at all diff" is counted as 0, and "2.a little diff", "3.somewhat diff", and "4.very diff/can't do" are counted as 1. The difficulty using the toilet variable, v9034, is only asked to a subset of wave 1 respondents. Starting in wave 2, RwADLFIVE is the sum of RwBATHA + RwDRESSA + RwEATA + RwBEDA + RwTOILTA. RwADLFIVE is calculated as long as at least one of the comprising ADL measures is not missing. RwADLFIVEM is a summary of the number of comprising variables with missing values. Responses of "don't do" are coded as special missing .x if RwADLFIVE is not calculated. Don't know, refused, skipped, or other missing responses of these variables are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .s, and .m, respectively. RwADLFIVE and RwADLFIVEM are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave.

SwADLFIVE and SwADLFIVEM indicate the respondent's current wave's spouse's 5 item ADL summary, and are taken from RwADLFIVE and RwADLFIVEM. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwADLFIVE and RwADLFIVEM, SwADLFIVE and SwADLFIVEM employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwMOBILSEV is a 7 item summary of any difficulty with mobility activities. The mobility activities included are walking one block, climbing several flights of stairs, getting up from a chair, stooping or kneeling or crouching, extending arms up, lifting 10 pounds, and picking up a dime. In wave 1, RwMOBILSEV is the sum of RwWALK1 + RwCLIMS + RwCHAIR + RwSTOOP + RwARMS + RwLIFT + RwDIME, where "1.yes" and "2.can't do" are counted as 1. Starting in wave 2, RwMOBILSEV is the sum of RwWALK1A + RwCLIMSA + RwCHAIRA + RwSTOOPA + RwARMSA + RwLIFTA + RwDIMEA. RwMOBILSEV is calculated as long as at least one of the comprising mobility measures is not missing. RwMOBILSEVM is a summary of the number of comprising variables with missing values. Responses of "don't do" are coded as special missing .x if RwMOBILSEV is not calculated. Don't know, refused, skipped, or other missing responses of these variables are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .s, and .m, respectively. RwMOBILSEV and RwMOBILSEVM are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwMOBILSEV and SwMOBILSEVM indicate the respondent's current wave's spouse's 7 item mobility summary, and are taken from RwMOBILSEV and RwMOBILSEVM. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwMOBILSEV and RwMOBILSEVM, SwMOBILSEV and SwMOBILSEVM employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwLOWERMOB is a 4 item summary of any difficulty with lower-body mobility activities. The lower-body mobility activities included are walking one block, climbing several flights of stairs, getting up from a chair, and stooping or kneeling or crouching. In wave 1, RwLOWERMOB is the sum of RwWALK1 + RwCLIMS + RwCHAIR, where "1.yes" and "2.can't do" are counted as 1. Starting in wave 2, RwLOWERMOB is the sum of RwWALK1A + RwCLIMSA + RwCHAIRA + RwSTOOPA. RwLOWERMOB is calculated as long as at least one of the comprising lower-body mobility measures is not missing. RwLOWERMOBM is a summary of the number of comprising variables with missing values. Responses of "don't do" are coded as special missing .x if RwLOWERMOB is not calculated. Don't know, refused, skipped, or other missing responses of these variables are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .s, and .m, respectively. RwLOWERMOB and RwLOWERMOBM are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwLOWERMOB and SwLOWERMOBM indicate the respondent's current wave's spouse's 4 item lower-body mobility summary, and are taken from RwLOWERMOB and RwLOWERMOBM. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwLOWERMOB and RwLOWERMOBM, SwLOWERMOB and SwLOWERMOBM employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwUPPERMOB is a 3 item summary of any difficulty with upper-body mobility activities. The upper-body mobility activities included are extending arms up, lifting 10 pounds, and picking up a dime. In wave 1, RwUPPERMOB is the sum of RwARMS + RwLIFT + RwDIME, where "1.yes" and "2.can't do" are counted as 1. Starting in wave 2, RwUPPERMOB is the sum of RwARMSA + RwLIFTA + RwDIMEA. RwUPPERMOB is calculated as long as at least one of the comprising upper-body mobility measures is not missing. RwUPPERMOBM is a summary of the number of comprising variables with missing values. Responses of "don't do" are coded as special missing .x if RwUPPERMOB is not calculated. Don't know, refused, skipped, or other missing responses of these variables are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .s, and .m, respectively. RwUPPERMOB and RwUPPERMOBM are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwUPPERMOB and SwUPPERMOBM indicate the respondent's current wave's spouse's 3 item upper-body mobility summary, and are taken from RwUPPERMOB and RwUPPERMOBM. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwUPPERMOB and RwUPPERMOBM, SwUPPERMOB and SwUPPERMOBM employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS A question about difficulty using the toilet was only asked to a small subsample of respondents in wave 1, whereas this question was asked to all respondents starting in wave 2. Please note that the "raw recode" variables in the RAND HRS are used to construct the mobility measures in wave 1, whereas the "some difficulty" variables in the RAND HRS are used to construct the mobility measures in wave 2 and onward. While the RAND HRS does not provide a raw recode for difficulty using the toilet in wave 1, a variable asked to a subset of the population was used to create the measure here. Please see the RAND HRS for any additional cross wave differences in the comprising variables.

How Constructed: RwHRTATT, RwANGIN, RwCONHRTF, RwSHINGL, and RwHRTRHM indicate whether the respondent reported being diagnosed with the specified condition since the last wave or in the last two years. RwANGIN is available in all waves. RwHRTATT and RwCONHRTF are available starting in wave 2. RwSHINGL and RwHRTRHM are

Page 163: Harmonized HRS Documentation...Harmonized CRELES (Costa Rica) data. Further information about these Harmonized data files Further information about these Harmonized data files with

Section B: Health 162

available starting in wave 10. These variables are coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of these variables are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked these questions and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2. Respondents who were not asked these questions because it was their first interview are assigned special missing code .s. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. RwHRTATT indicates whether the respondent reported being diagnosed with a heart attack since the last interview or in the last two years. In HRS 1994 (Wave 2) only respondents who were interviwed in HRS 1992 (Wave 1) were asked this question. Respondents are not asked about a heart attack if they did not report a heart problem in the current wave, or, starting in wave 3, if they are not currently taking medication for a heart problem and have not seen a doctor for their heart problems in the last 2 years. In either of these cases, respondents are assumed to not have had a heart attack since the last wave and are assigned a value of 0. Starting in wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents when was their first heart attack and whether they have had any more heart attacks since then, and if the respondent has had more heart attacks they are asked when was their most recent heart attack. The HRS then asks respondents who reported having had a heart attack but not since the last interview or in the last two years, whether they have had a heart attack since the last interview or in the last two years. RwANGIN indicates whether the respondent has had angina or chest pains due to their heart since the last interview or in the last two years. Respondents are not asked about angina if they did not report a heart problem or heart attack in the current wave, or, starting in wave 3, if they are not currently taking medication for a heart problem and have not seen a doctor for their heart problems in the last 2 years. In either of these cases, respondents are assumed to not have angina and are assigned a value of 0. In Wave 1 and Wave 2 respondents were asked whether they currently have angina. Starting in Wave 3 respondents are asked whether they have had agina since the last interview or in the last two years. Starting in wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents whether a doctor has ever told them they have angina. If they responded yes, they are then asked when their angina was first diagnosed. The HRS then asks respondents who reported having had angina but not since the last interview or in the last two years, whether they have had angina or chest pains due to your heart since the last interview or in the last two years. RwCONHRTF indicates whether the respondent reported being diagnosed with congestive heart failure since the last interview or in the last two years. In HRS 1994 (Wave 2), only respondents who were interviewed in HRS 1992 (Wave 1) were asked this question. Respondents are not asked about congestive heart failure if they did not report a heart problem in the current wave, or, starting in wave 3, if they are not currently taking medication for a heart problem and have not seen a doctor for their heart problems in the last 2 years. In either of these cases, respondents are assumed to not have congestive heart failure and are assigned a value of 0. Starting in wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents when their congestive heart failure was first diagnosed. The HRS then asks respondents who reported having had congestive heart failure but not since the last interview or in the last two years, whether they have had congestive heart failure since the last interview or in the last two years. RwSHINGL indicates whether the respondent reported being diagnosed with the shingles since the last interview or in the last two years. This question is only asked to respondents who have not previously been asked whether they have ever had shingles. Respondents who were not asked this question because they were instead asked whether they have had ever had shingles are assigned special missing .s. RwHRTRHM indicates whether the respondent reported being diagnosed with an abnormal heart rhythm since the last interview or in the last two years. Respondents are not asked about abnormal heart rhythm if they did not report a heart problem in the current wave, or if they are not currently taking medication for a heart problem and have not seen a doctor for their heart problems in the last 2 years. In either of these cases, respondents are assumed to not have an abnormal heart rhythm and are assigned a value of 0. The HRS first asks respondents when their abnormal heart rhythm was first diagnosed. The HRS then asks respondents who reported having had an abnormal heart rhythm but not since the last interview or in the last two years, whether they have had an abnormal heart rhythm since the last interview or in the last two years. SwHRTATT, SwANGIN, SwCONHRTF, SwSHINGL, and SwHRTRHM indicate whether the respondent's current wave's spouse was been diagnosed with the specified condition since the last interview or in the last two years, and are taken from RwHRTATT, RwANGIN, RwCONHRTF, RwSHINGL, and RwHRTRHM. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHRTATT, RwANGIN, RwCONHRTF, RwSHINGL, and RwHRTRHM, SwHRTATT, SwANGIN, SwCONHRTF, SwSHINGL, and SwHRTRHM employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u

is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In HRS 1994 (Wave 2) only respondents who were interviewed in HRS 1992 (Wave 1) were asked whether they had a heart attack since the last interview or in the last two years. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked about having had a heart attack. Starting in wave 3, respondents who report not taking any heart medication and report not having seen a doctor about their heart in the past 2 years are not asked whether they had a heart attack. Starting in wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents when was their first heart attack and whether they have had any more heart attacks since then, and if the respondent has had more heart attacks they are asked when was their most recent heart attack. The HRS then asks respondents who reported having had a heart attack but not since the last interview or in the last two years, whether they have had a heart attack since the last interview or in the last two years. In Wave 1 and 2 respondents were asked whether they currently have angina or chest pains due to their heart. Starting in Wave 3 respondents are asked whether they have had angina or chest pains due to their heart since the last interview or in the last two years. Starting in wave 3, respondents who report not taking any heart medication and report not having seen a doctor about their heart in the past 2 years are not asked about having had angina. Starting in Wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents if a doctor has ever told them they have angina. If they respond yes they are then asked when their angina was first diagnosed. The HRS then asks respondents who reported having had angina but not since the last interview or in the last two years, whether they have had angina or any chest pains due to their heart since the last interview or in the last two years. Due to an added entry question starting in Wave 10 which specified that a doctor had to have diagnosed angina, instead of just having experienced angina or chest pains due to their heart (as was asked in all earlier waves), the frequency of reports of angina decreased significantly. In HRS 1994 (Wave 2) only respondents who were interviewed in HRS 1992 (Wave 1) were asked whether they had congestive heart failure since the last interview or in the last two years. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked about having had congestive heart failure since the last interview or in the last two years and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2. Starting in wave 3, respondents who report not taking any heart medication and report not having seen a doctor about their heart in the past 2 years are not asked about having had congestive heart failure. Starting in Wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents whether they have ever been told by a doctor they had congestive heart failure. If they respond yes, they are asked when their congestive heart failure was first diagnosed. The HRS then asks respondents who reported having had congestive heart failure but not since the last interview or in the last two years, whether they have had congestive heart failure since the last interview or in the last two years. A questions about having shingles since the last interview begin in wave 10, and so RwSHINGL is available starting in wave 10, but this question is only asked to respondents who have not previously been asked whether they have ever had shingles. Questions about having an abnormal heart rhythm since the last interview begin in wave 10, and so RwHRTRHM is available starting in wave 10. The HRS first asks respondents when their abnormal heart rhythm was first diagnosed. The HRS then asks respondents who reported having had an abnormal heart rhythm but not since the last interview or in the last two years, whether they have had an abnormal heart rhythm since the last interview or in the last two years.

How Constructed: RwHRTATTE, RwANGINE, RwCONHRTFE, RwSHINGLE, and RwHRTRHME indicate whether the respondent has ever been diagnosed with the specified condition. RwHRTATTE and RwCONHRTFE are available for the HRS sample in Waves 1 and Wave 2 and then again available for the full sample starting in Wave 10. RwANGINE is available starting in wave 10. RwSHINGLE is available starting in wave 9. RwHRTRHME is available starting in wave 10. These variables are coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of these variables are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked these questions and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. RwHRTATTE indicates whether the respondent has ever been diagnosed with a heart attack. In Waves 1 and 2 respondents are asked if a doctor has ever told you that you had a heart attack, coronary heart disease, angina, congestive heart failure, or other heart problems. If the respondent answers yes they are then asked did you have a heart attack or myocardial infarction. Starting in wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents whether a doctor has ever told them they had a heart attack and then later asks whether they have had a heart attack since the last interview or in the last two years. Respondents are not asked about a heart attack if they have never reported a heart problem in all waves or if they are not currently taking medication for a heart problem and have not seen a doctor for their heart problems in the last 2 years. In either of these cases, respondents are assumed to not have a heart attack and are assigned a value of 0. If the respondent was interviewed prior to Wave 10, missed Wave 10, and then was reinterviewed after Wave 10, they were never asked whether they ever had a heart attack and are assigned special missing .s. RwANGINE indicates whether the respondent has ever been diagnosed with angina. Respondents are not asked about angina if they have never reported a heart problem or heart attack in all waves or if they are not currently taking medication for a heart problem and have not seen a doctor for their heart problems in the last 2 years. In either of these cases, respondents are assumed to not have angina and are assigned a value of 0. The HRS first asks respondents whether a doctor has ever told them they have angina then they are asked whether they have had angina or chest pains due to your heart since the last interview or in the last two years. This question is asked starting in wave 10. If the respondent was interviewed prior to Wave 10, missed Wave 10, and then was reinterviewed after Wave 10, they were never asked whether they were diagnosed with angina and are assigned special missing .s. RwCONHRTFE indicates whether the respondent has ever been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. In Waves 1 and 2 respondents are asked whether a doctor has ever told them they have congestive heart failure. Starting in Wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents whether they have ever been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and then asks whether they have had congestive heart failure since the last

interview or in the last two years. Respondents are not asked about congestive heart failure if they have never reported a heart problem in all waves or if they are not currently taking medication for a heart problem and have not seen a doctor for their heart problems in the last 2 years. In either of these cases, respondents are assumed to not have congestive heart failure and are assigned a value of 0. If the respondent was interviewed prior to Wave 10, missed Wave 10, and then was reinterviewed after Wave 10, they were never asked whether they ever were diagnosed with congestive heart failure and are assigned special missing .s. RwSHINGLE indicates whether the respondent has ever been diagnosed with the shingles. RwHRTRHME indicates whether the respondent has ever been diagnosed with an abnormal heart rhythm. The HRS first asks respondents whether they have ever been diagnosed with abnormal heart rhythm and then asks whether they have had abnormal heart rhythm since the last interview or in the last two years. Respondents are not asked about abnormal heart rhythm if they have never reported a heart problem, or if they are not currently taking medication for a heart problem and have not seen a doctor for their heart problems in the last 2 years. In either of these cases, respondents are assumed to not have an abnormal heart rhythm and are assigned a value of 0. If the respondent was interviewed prior to Wave 10, missed Wave 10, and then was reinterviewed after Wave 10, they were never asked whether they ever were diagnosed with abnormal heart rhythm and are assigned special missing .s. SwHRTATTE, SwANGINE, SwCONHRTFE, SwSHINGLE, and SwHRTRHME indicate whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has ever been diagnosed with the specified condition, and are taken from RwHRTATTE, RwANGINE, RwCONHRTFE, RwSHINGLE, and RwHRTRHME. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHRTATTE, RwANGINE, RwCONHRTFE, RwSHINGLE, and RwHRTRHME, SwHRTATTE, SwANGINE, SwCONHRTFE, SwSHINGLE, and SwHRTRHME employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In Waves 1 and 2 respondents are asked if a doctor has ever told you that you had a heart attack, coronary heart disease, angina, congestive heart failure, or other heart problems. If the respondent answers yes they are then asked did you have a heart attack or myocardial infarction. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked about having had a heart attack in Wave 2. Questions about whether respondents have ever had a heart attack were dropped from the survey at Wave 3 and until Wave 9. Starting in wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents whether a doctor has ever told them they had a heart attack and then later asks whether they have had a heart attack since the last interview or in the last two years. If the respondent was interviewed prior to Wave 10, missed Wave 10, and then was interviewed after Wave 10, they were never asked whether they ever had a heart attack again after Wave 10. Questions asking whether respondents had ever been diagnosed with angina were not added until Wave 10. Starting in Wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents whether a doctor has every told them they have angina then they are asked whether they have had angina or chest pains due to your heart since the last interview or in the last two years. If the respondent was interviewed prior to Wave 10, missed Wave 10, and then was interviewed after Wave 10, they were never asked whether they were diagnosed with angina. In Waves 1 and 2 respondents are asked whether a doctor has ever told them they have congestive heart failure. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked about having had a heart attack in Wave 2. Questions about whether respondents have ever had a heart attack were dropped from the survey at Wave 3 and until Wave 9. Starting in Wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents whether they have ever been diagnosed with congestive heart failure and then asks whether they have had congestive heart failure since the last interview or in the last two years. If the respondent was interviewed prior to Wave 10, missed Wave 10, and then was interviewed after Wave 10, they were never asked whether they ever had congestive heart failure again after Wave 10. Questions asking whether respondents have had shingles were not added until Wave 9. Questions asking whether respondents had ever been diagnosed with abnormal heart rhythm were not added until Wave 10. Starting in Wave 10, the HRS first asks respondents whether they have ever been diagnosed with abnormal heart rhythm and then asks whether they have had abnormal heart rhythm since the last interview or in the last two years. If the respondent was interviewed prior to Wave 10, missed Wave 10, and then was interviewed after Wave 10, they were never asked whether they were diagnosed with abnormal heart rhythm.

How Constructed: RwHRTSRG indicates whether the respondent has had heart surgery since the last wave or in the last two years. RwHRTSRG is coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Respondents who have not been diagnosed with a heart condition are not asked about heart surgery and are assigned a special missing code .x. Questions about whether the respondent has had heart surgery in the last two years were introduced starting in Wave 3. If the respondent is not currently taking medication for a heart problem and has not seen a doctor for their heart problem in the last 2 years, they are assumed to not have had heart surgery and are assigned a value of 0. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwHRTSRG are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwHRTSRG is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwHRTSRG indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has had heart surgery since the last wave or in the last two years, and is taken from RwHRTSRG. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHRTSRG, SwHRTSRG employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwJOINTR indicates whether the respondent has had joint replacement surgery since the last wave or in the last two years. RwJOINTR is coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Questions about whether the respondent has had joint replacement surgery in the last two years were introduced starting in Wave 3. Respondents who have not been diagnosed with arthritis are not asked about joint replacement surgery and are assigned a special missing code .x. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwJOINTR are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwJOINTR is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave.

Respondents who have not ever been diagnosed with a heart condition are not asked about heart surgery and are assigned a special missing code .x. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked these questions and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2. Questions about ever having had heart surgery are not asked after Wave 2. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwHRTSRGE are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwHRTSRGE is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwHRTSRGE indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has ever had heart surgery, and is taken from RwHRTSRGE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHRTSRGE, SwHRTSRGE employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwJOINTRE indicates whether the respondent has ever had joint replacement surgery. A question about ever having had joint replacement surgery is only asked in wave 2. RwJOINTRE is coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwJOINTRE are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked this question and are assigned special missing code .q, in wave 2. RwJOINTRE is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwJOINTRE indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has ever had joint replacement surgery, and is taken from RwJOINTRE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwJOINTRE, SwJOINTRE employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are only asked whether they have ever had heart surgery in waves 1 and 2, and so RwHRTSRGE is only available in Wave 1 and Wave 2. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked whether they ever had heart surgery and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2. Respondents are only asked whether they have ever had joint replacement surgery in wave 2, and so RwJOINTRE is only available in Wave 2. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked whether they ever had joint replacement surgery and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2.

How Constructed: RADIAGDIAB indicates the age at which the respondent was first diagnosed with diabetes. Respondents are asked the year in which they were diagnosed, and these responses are converted to their age at diagnosis. RADIAGDIAB is asked in wave 1, is skipped for waves 2 through 6, and is asked again starting in wave 7. Respondents who have never been diagnosed with diabetes are not asked this question and are assigned a special missing code .x. Respondents who were not asked this question becuase they only interviewed in

RwRECCANCR indicates the most recent age at which the respondent was diagnosed with cancer. Respondents are asked the year in which they were diagnosed, and these responses are converted to their age at diagnosis. Previous responses are carried forward if the respondent does not report a new cancer diagnosis. Respondents who have never been diagnosed with cancer are not asked this question and are assigned a special missing code .x. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked this question and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2. Starting in wave 3, respondents are assigned special missing .n if they report a previous cancer diagnosis but report not seeing a doctor for their cancer and not receiving any cancer treatments in the past 2 years. Starting in wave 9 and continuing in odd numbered waves, respondents are assigned special missing .s if they have been previously interviewed and reported a cancer diagnosis in the previous wave. RwRECCANCR is set to special missing .i if the value is below 0. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwRECCANCR are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwRECCANCR is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwRECCANCR indicates the most recent age at which the respondent's current wave's spouse was diagnosed with cancer, and is taken from RwRECCANCR. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwRECCANCR, SwRECCANCR employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwRECHRTATT indicates the most recent age at which the respondent had a heart attack. Respondents are asked the year in which they were diagnosed, and these responses are converted to their age at diagnosis. Responses are carried forward from previous waves if the respondent did not report a new heart attack. Respondents who have never had a heart attack are not asked this question and are assigned a special missing code .x. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked this question and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2. Starting in wave 10, respondents who had been previously interviewed are not asked this question and are assigned special missing .s. Starting in wave 10, RwRECHRTATT takes the value of the respondent's age of first heart attack if the respondent reports having only 1 heart attack in his/her lifetime. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwRECHRTATT are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwRECHRTATT is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwRECHRTATT indicates the most recent age at which the respondent's current wave's spouse had a heart attack, and is taken from RwRECHRTATT. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwRECHRTATT, SwRECHRTATT employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RAFRHRTATT indicates the age at which the respondent had their first heart attack. Respondents are asked the year in which they were diagnosed, and these responses are converted to their age at diagnosis. RAFRHRTATT is available starting in wave 10. Respondents who have never had a heart attack are not asked this question and are assigned a special missing code .x. Starting in wave 10, respondents who had been previously interviewed are not asked this question and are assigned special missing .s. If the age of first heart attack is provided in multiple waves, the first provided age is used. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RAFRHRTATT are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RAFRHRTATT is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in any of the waves that ask this question. SwFRHRTATT indicates the age at which the respondent's current wave's spouse had their first attack, and is taken from RAFRHRTATT. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RAFRHRTATT, SwFRHRTATT employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does

not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RADIAGCHF indicates the age at which the respondent was first diagnosed with congestive heart failure. Respondents are asked the year in which they were diagnosed, and these responses are converted to their age at diagnosis. RADIAGCHF is available starting in wave 10. Starting in wave 10, respondents who had been previously interviewed are not asked this question and are assigned special missing .s. If the age first diagnosed with congestive heart failure is provided in multiple waves, the first provided age is used. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RADIAGCHF are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RADIAGCHF is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in any of the waves that ask this question. SwDIAGCHF indicates the age at which the respondent's current wave's spouse was first diagnosed with congestive heart failure, and is taken from RADIAGCHF.

A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RADIAGANGIN indicates the age at which the respondent was first diagnosed with angina. Respondents are asked the year in which they were diagnosed, and these responses are converted to their age at diagnosis. RADIAGANGIN is available starting in wave 10. Starting in wave 10, respondents who had been previously interviewed are not asked this question and are assigned special missing .s. If the age first diagnosed with angina is provided in multiple waves, the first provided age is used. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RADIAGANGIN are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RADIAGANGIN is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in any of the waves that ask this question. SwDIAGANGIN indicates the age at which the respondent's current wave's spouse was first diagnosed with angina, and is taken from RADIAGANGIN. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RADIAGANGIN, SwDIAGANGIN employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are asked when they were diagnosed with diabetes in wave 1 and wave 7 and onward, and so RwDIAGDIAB is available in wave 1, is unavailable for waves 2 through 6, and is available again starting in wave 7. Respondents in the AHEAD 1 sample are not asked when their most recent cancer diagnosis and heart attack occurred, and so RwRECCANCR and RwRECHRTATT and are assigned special missing code .q in wave 2. Starting in wave 9 and continuing in odd numbered waves, respondents are not asked when their most recent cancer diagnosis occurred if they have been previously interviewed and reported a cancer diagnosis in the previous wave, and so RwRECCANCR is assigned special missing .s. Starting in wave 10, respondents who had been previously interviewed are not asked when their most recent heart attack occurred, and so RwRECHRTATT is assigned special missing .s. Starting in wave 10,

Section B: Health 187

respondents are not asked when their most recent heart attack occurred if they report a value for when their first heart attack occurred and they report only have one heart attack in his/her lifetime, and so RwRECHRTATT takes the value of age at the respondent's first heart attack. Starting in wave 10, RwRECHRTATT is created using two variables, whereas previous waves only used one variable. Respondents are asked questions about when their first heart attack, diagnosis of congestive heart failure, diagnosis of abnormal heart rhythm, and diagnosis of angina occurred beginning in wave 10. Respondents who had been previously interviewed are not asked these questions and are assigned special missing .s.

In wave 2, if respondents reported having the specific condition in the first wave, then respondents are not asked about taking medication for high blood pressure, oral medication or insulin for diabetes, stroke, arthritis, lung disease, psychiatric treatment, and various cancer treatments, and so RwRXHIBP, RwRXDIABO, RwRXDIABI, RwRXSTROK, RwRXARTHR, RwRXLUNG, RwTRPSYCH, RwCNCRCHEM, RwCHCRSURG, RwCNCRRADN, and RwCNCROTHR are assigned special missing .s. Starting in wave 3, if the respondent reported a heart problem in a previous wave and has been previously interviewed, then the respondent is not asked about taking heart medication and RwRXHEART is assigned special missing .s. Starting in wave 6, if the respondent reported a heart problem in a previous wave and has been previously interviewed, then the respondent is not asked about taking medication for angina, congestive heart failure, and heart attack, and RwRXANGINA, RwRXCHF, and RwRXHRTAT are assigned special missing .s. Respondents begin to be asked about taking medication for cancer treatment in wave 3. In waves 1 and 2, respondents with cancer diagnoses were only asked about receiving chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, or other treatments. In wave 3 and onward, respondents with cancer diagnoses are asked about receiving chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, medication, or other treatments. Starting in wave 7 and continuing in the odd numbered waves, previously interviewed respondents are not asked about their cancer treatments. In these cases, RwCNCRCHEM, RwCNCRSURG, RwCNCRRADN, RwCNCRMEDS, and RwCNCROTHR are assigned special missing .s. Respondents are asked questions about taking medication for memory-related disease starting in wave 9. In wave 9, RwRXMEMRY is coded as .x if the respondent does not report a memory-related disease. In wave 10 and onward, RwRXMEMRY is coded as .x if the respondent does not report an alzheimer's or dementia diagnosis, but is still asked if they take medication for a memory-related disease. Respondents are no longer asked about taking medications for arthritis or psychiatric conditions starting in wave 12.

How Constructed: RwLUNGLMT, RwANGLMT, and RwARTHLMT indicate whether a specified health condition limits the daily activity of the respondent. RwLUNGLMT indicates whether lung disease limits the daily activities of the respondent. RwANGLMT indicates whether angina limits the daily activities of the respondent. RwARHTLMT indicates whether arthritis limits the daily activities of the respondent. RwLUNGLMT, RwANGLMT, and RwARTHLMT are coded as 0.no and 1.yes. Respondents who have never been diagnosed with the specified condition are not asked these questions and these variables are assigned a special missing code .x. In wave 2, respondents asked whether lung disease limits their daily activities have the option of saying that they have no job, these instances are assigned special missing .j. In wave 2, if respondents reported having lung disease in the first wave, then RwLUNGLMT is not available and is assigned special missing .s. Wave 3 HRS respondents are not asked about arthritis limiting their daily activity and so RwARTHLMT is assigned special missing .q in wave 3. Starting in wave 6, if the respondent reported a

heart problem in a previous wave and has been previously interviewed, then RwANGLMT is not asked and is assigned special missing .s. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwLUNGLMT, RwANGLMT, and RwARTHLMT are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. These variables are not available in wave 12. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwLUNGLMT, SwANGLMT, and SwARTHLMT indicate whether a specified health condition limits the daily activity of the respondent's current wave's spouse, and is taken from RwLUNGLMT, RwANGLMT, and RwARTHLMT. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwLUNGLMT, RwANGLMT, and RwARTHLMT, SwLUNGLMT, SwANGLMT, and SwARTHLMT employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are asked whether lung disease limits their daily activity starting in wave 1. Respondent have the option of responding that they have no job only in wave 2, and these responses are assigned special missing code .j. In wave 2, if respondents reported having lung disease in the first wave, then this question is not asked and RwLUNGLMT is assigned special missing .s. Respondents are asked whether angina and arthritis limit their daily activities starting in wave 3. Wave 3 HRS respondents are not asked about arthritis limiting their daily activity and so RwARTHLMT is assigned special missing .q in wave 3. Starting in wave 6, if the respondent reported a heart problem in a previous wave and has been previously interviewed, then whether angina limits daily activity is not asked and RwANGLMT is assigned special missing .s. Questions about whether lung disease, angina, and arthritis limit daily activities are no longer asked starting in wave 12.

How Constructed: RwCANCRST indicates the status of the respondent's cancer reported in the previous wave. RwCANCRST is available starting in wave 3. RwCANCRST is coded as 1.better, 2.stayed the same, 3.worse. RwCANCRST is assigned special missing .x if the respondent has never had cancer. RwCANCRST is assigned special missing .n if the respondent reported a cancer diagnosis but has not seen a doctor about the cancer and has not received treatment for the cancer. RwCANCRST is assigned special missing .c if the respondent reported a cancer diagnosis in the current wave. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwCANCRST are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwCANCRST is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwCANCRST indicates the status of the respondent's current wave's spouse's previously reported cancer, and is taken from RwCANCRST. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwCANCRST, SwCANCRST employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

How Constructed: RwBMICAT indicates the respondent's reported BMI category according to WHO standards. RwBMICAT is coded as follows: 1.underweight, less than 18.5, 2.normal weight, 18.5 to 24.9, 3.pre-obesity, 25 to 25.9, 4.obesity class 1, 30 to 34.9, 5.obesity class 2, 35 to 39.9, 6.obesity class 3, greater than 40. RwOBESE

Section B: Health 243

indicates whether the respondent's BMI is categorized as obese, meaning a BMI of 30 or greater. RwOBESE is coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwBMICAT and RwOBESE are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwBMICAT and SwOBESE indicate the respondent's current wave's spouse's reported BMI category and obesity status, and are taken from RwBMICAT and RwOBESE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwBMICAT and RwOBESE, SwBMICAT and SwOBESE employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Please see the RAND HRS for any cross wave differences in RwBMI, RwWEIGHT, and RwHEIGHT. Please note that the values used for these measures are those reported by the respondent, not measured in the health assessment.

How Constructed: RwDRINKCUT, RwDRINKCR, RwDRINKBD, and RwDRINKNR indicate the respondent's feelings about their drinking habits. RwDRINKCUT indicates whether the respondent has ever felt that they should cut down on their drinking. RwDRINKCR indicates whether people have ever annoyed the respondent by criticizing their drinking. RwDRINKBD indicates whether the respondent has ever felt bad or guilty about drinking. RwDRINKNR indicates whether the respondent has ever taken a drink first thing in the morning to steady their nerves or get rid of a hangover. These variables are coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. RwDRINKCUT is asked in all waves, while RwDRINKCR, RwDRINKBD, and RwDRINKNR are asked in wave 1 and in wave 4 and the following waves. Respondents in the HRS wave 2 and 3 samples are not asked RwDRINKCUT, and are assigned special missing .q in waves 2 and 3, respectively. Starting in wave 3, if the respondent reports not drinking, then RwDRINKCUT, RwDRINKCR, RwDRINKBD, and RwDRINKNR are assigned special missing .n. Starting in wave 4, if the respondent has been previously interviewed, then RwDRINKCUT, RwDRINKCR, RwDRINKBD, and RwDRINKNR are not asked and these variables are assigned special missing .s. RwCAGE is a summary variable for the respondent's feelings about their drinking habits. RwCAGE is equal to RwDRINKCUT + RwDRINKCR + RwDRINKBD + RwDRINKNR. RwCAGEM indicates the number of variables missing in the calculation of RwCAGE. RwCAGE is calculated as long as at least one of the component variables is not missing. RwCAGE and RwCAGEM are calculated only for the waves that ask all 4 component questions. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwDRINKCUT, RwDRINKCR, RwDRINKBD, RwDRINKNR, and RwCAGE are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwDRINKCUT, SwDRINKCR, SwDRINKBD, SwDRINKNR, and SwCAGE indicate the respondent's current wave's spouse's feelings about their drinking habits, and are taken from RwDRINKCUT, RwDRINKCR, RwDRINKBD, RwDRINKNR, and RwCAGE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwDRINKCUT, RwDRINKCR, RwDRINKBD, RwDRINKNR, and RwCAGE, SwDRINKCUT, SwDRINKCR, SwDRINKBD, SwDRINKNR, and SwCAGE employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwDRINKB indicates whether the respondent ever binge drinks. RwBINGED indicates the number of days the respondent reports binge drinking in the last 3 months. RwDRINKB and RwBINGED are available starting in

wave 3. Binge drinking is determined by the question: "In the last three months, on how many days have you had four or more drinks on one occasion?" If the respondent reports a value of 0 to this question, reports never drinking, or reports drinking 0 days per week in the last 3 months, then RwDRINKB is coded as 0.no, and RwBINGED is coded as 0. If the respondent reports a number of 1 or greater to this question, then RwDRINKB is coded as 1.yes and RwBINGED takes the numerical value. If RwBINGED is coded as 92, it indicates that the respondent "drinks all the time". Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwDRINKB and RwBINGED are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwDRINKB and SwBINGED indicate the respondent's current wave's spouse's binge drinking habits, and are taken from RwDRINKB and RwBINGED. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwDRINKB and RwBINGED, SwDRINKB and SwBINGED employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are asked whether they feel they should cut down on their drinking in all waves, however, respondents in the HRS wave 2 and 3 samples are not asked this question and RwDRINKCUT is assigned special missing .q in waves 2 and 3, respectively. Respondents are asked whether others criticize their drinking, whether they feel bad about drinking, and whether they take a drink for nerve in the morning in wave 1, are not asked at all in waves 2 and 3, and are asked again starting in wave 4. Starting in wave 4, if the respondent has been previously interviewed, then these three questions are not asked and RwDRINKCR, RwDRINKBD, and RwDRINKNR are assigned special missing .s. RwCAGE and RwCAGEM are calculated in wave 1 and in wave 4 and the following waves based on the availability of the questions. Respondents are asked whether they binge drink and how many days they binge drank starting in wave 3.

How Constructed: RwSTRTSMOK indicates the age at which the respondent started smoking. RwSTRTSMOK is available starting in wave 4. Respondents can report the age at which they started smoking, the number of years ago they started smoking, or the year in which they started smoking. If the respondent reports the number of years ago they started smoking, this value is subtracted from the respondent's age at the time of interview. If the respondent reports the year in which they started smoking, the respondent's birth year is subtracted from this value to obtain the age at which the respondent started smoking. If the calculated age started smoking takes a value of less than 1, then RwSTRTSMOK is assigned special missing value .i. If the respondent reports multiple ages that they started smoking across waves, the value from the first wave is used. RwSTRTSMOK is assigned special missing .n if the respondent reports never smoking. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwSTRTSMOK are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwSTRTSMOK is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwSTRTSMOK indicates the age at which the respondent's current wave's spouse started smoking, and is taken from RwSTRTSMOK. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwSTRTSMOK, SwSTRTSMOK employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwQUITSMOK indicates the age at which the respondent quit smoking. In wave 1, respondents report the number of years ago they quit smoking, and this value is subtracted from the respondent's age at the time of interview. RwQUITSMOK is not available in waves 2 and 3. In waves 4 and beyond, respondents can report the age at which they quit smoking, the number of years ago they quit smoking, or the year in which they quit smoking. If the respondent reports the number of years ago they quit smoking, this value is subtracted from the respondent's age at the time of interview. If the respondent reports the year in which they quit smoking, the respondent's birth year is subtracted from this value to obtain the age at which the respondent quit smoking. If the calculated age quit smoking takes a value of less than 1, then RwQUITSMOK is assigned special missing value .i. RwQUITSMOK is assigned special missing .n if the respondent reports never smoking. RwQUITSMOK is assigned special missing .c if the respondent reports currently smoking. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwQUITSMOK are assigned special

missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwQUITSMOK is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwQUITSMOK indicates the age at which the respondent's current wave's spouse quit smoking, and is taken from RwQUITSMOK. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwQUITSMOK, SwQUITSMOK employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are asked when they started smoking starting in wave 4. Respondents are asked when they quit smoking in wave 1 and in waves 4 and onward. In wave 1, the respondent can report the number of years ago they quit smoking. Starting in wave 4, the respondent can report the age at which they quit smoking, the number of years ago they quit smoking, or the year in which they quit smoking.

How Constructed: RwSHNGLSHT and RwPNEUSHT indicate whether the respondent has ever received a shingles vaccine or a pneumonia vaccine, respectively. RwSHNGLSHT is available starting in wave 9 and RwPNEUSHT is available starting in wave 11. RwSHNGLSHT and RwPNEUSHT are coded as 0.no, and 1.yes. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses of RwSHNGLSHT and RwPNEUSHT are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. In wave 12, re-interview respondents are not asked RwSHNGLSHT and RwPNEUSHT. If the respondent previously reported having received the vaccine, a value of 1 is fed-forward. If they had reported not receiving the vaccination in a previous wave and are not asked in the current wave, then they are assigned special missing code .s. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwSHNGLSHT and SwPNEUSHT indicate whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has ever received a shingles vaccine or pneumonia vaccine, and are taken from RwSHNGLSHT and RwPNEUSHT. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwSHNGLSHT and RwPNEUSHT, SwSHNGLSHT and SwPNEUSHT employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are asked whether they have ever received a shingles vaccine starting in wave 9. Respondents are asked whether they have ever received a pneumonia vaccine starting in wave 11. In wave 12, re-interviewed respondents are not asked about having received a shingles or pneumonia vaccine. If the respondent previously reported having received the vaccine, then a value of 1 is fed-forward for RwSHNGLSHT and RwPNEUSHT. If the respodent had reported not receiving the vaccination in a previous wave and are not asked in the current wave, then these variables are assigned special missing code .s.

How Constructed: RAMOMEDUCL identifies the level of education the respondent's mother completed according to a three-tier harmonized scale which we developed to compare education levels across countries. This harmonized education scale is a simplified version of 1997 International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) codes. For more information on ISCED codes, see www.uis.unesco.org and the OECD document entitled "Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries, 1999 Edition". RAMOMEDUCL is coded as follows: 1.Less than upper secondary education, 2.Upper secondary & vocational training, and 3.Tertiary education. If the respondent's mother's education was less than high school then RAMOMEDUCL is assigned a value of 1. If the respondent's mother's education was 2.GED,

3.High-school graduate, or 4.some college then RAMOMEDUCL is assigned a value of 2. If the respondent's mother's education was 5.college and above then RAMOMEDUCL is assigned a value of 3. Special missing .a is assigned if the respondent was not interviewed when the questions were asked. Special missing .o is assigned if the response is something other than what was provided in the list. Don't know, refused, and other missing responses are coded as special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RADADEDUCL identifies the level of education the respondent's father completed according to a three-tier harmonized scale which we developed to compare education levels across countries. This harmonized education scale is a simplified version of 1997 International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) codes. For more information on ISCED codes, see www.uis.unesco.org and the OECD document entitled "Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries, 1999 Edition". RADADEDUCL is coded as follows: 1.Less than upper secondary education, 2.Upper secondary & vocational training, and 3.Tertiary education. If the respondent's father's education was less than high school then RADADEDUCL is assigned a value of 1. If the respondent's father's education was 2.GED, 3.High-school graduate, or 4.some college then RADADEDUCL is assigned a value of 2. If the respondent's father's education was 5.college and above then RADADEDUCL is assigned a value of 3. Special missing .a is assigned if the respondent was not interviewed when the questions were asked. Special missing .o is assigned if the response is something other than what was provided in the list. Special missing .s is assigned if the respondent's father was not around or alive. Don't know, refused, and other missing responses are coded as special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RAMOMEDUCL and RADADEDUCL are available for Waves 1, 4, and thereafter. SwMOMEDUCL and SwDADEDUCL indicate the current wave’s spouse’s mother's and father's level of completed education according to a three-tier harmonized scale. Their values are taken from the spouse's value to RAMOMEDUCL and RADADEDUCL. If the respondent is not designated as coupled in the current wave and assumed to be single a special missing value of .u is used. If the respondent is not designated as coupled in the current wave but reports being married a special missing value of .v is used. Plain missing (.) is assigned is the respondent's spouse did not respond to the current wave. RAMOMEDUC8 identifies whether the respondent's mother completed eight or more years of education. A value of one is assigned if she did and a value of zero is assigned if she did not. Special missing .a is assigned if the respondent was not interviewed when the questions were asked. Special missing .o is assigned if the response is something other than what was provided in the list. Don't know, refused, and other missing responses are coded as special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RADADEDUC8 identifies whether the respondent's father completed eight or more years of education. A value of one is assigned if he did and a value of zero is assigned if he did not. Special missing .a is assigned if the respondent was not interviewed when the questions were asked. Special missing .o is assigned if the response is something other than what was provided in the list. Special missing .s is assigned if the respondent's father was not around or alive. Don't know, refused, and other missing responses are coded as special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. SwMOMEDUC8 and SwDADEDUC8 indicate whether the current wave’s spouse’s mother and father completed eight or more years of education. Their values are taken from the spouse's value to RAMOMEDUC8 and RADADEDUC8. If the respondent is not designated as coupled in the current wave and assumed to be single a special missing value of .u is used. If the respondent is not designated as coupled in the current wave but reports being married a special missing value of .v is used. Plain missing (.) is assigned is the respondent's spouse did not respond to the current wave.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In Wave 1 the question HRS asks about the parents’ level of education is: "What is the highest grade of school your father completed?" Answers are given in years of school, 0-17. In Waves 2A and 3A, the question different from Wave 1 and asks: "Did your father/mother attend 8 years or more of school?" and the possible answers are "yes" and "no." From Wave 4 forward, the question is similar to the Wave 1 wording: "And what is the highest grade of school your father/mother completed?" with possible answers ranging from 0-17.

A code of 1 is assigned if the occupation is categorized as white collar, which includes management occupations, business and financial operations occupations, computer and mathematical occupations, architecture and engineering occupations, life, physical and social science occupations, community and social service occupations, legal occupations, education, training and library occupations, art, design, entertainment, sport and media occupations, healthcare practitioners and technical occupations, or healthcare support occupations. A code of 2 is assigned if the occupation is categorized as blue collar, which includes protective service occupations, food preparation and serving related occupations, building and grounds cleaning and maintenance occupations, personal care and service occupations, sales and related occupations, office, and administrative support occupations, construction and extraction occupations, installation, maintenance and repair occupations, production occupations, or transportation and material moving occupations. A code of 3 is assigned if the occupation was serving in the military. Special missing .s is assigned if the respondent's father never worked/has always been on disability. Special missing .n is assigned if father never lived with the respondent, or was never alive. Special missing .a is assigned if the respondent's father's occupation question was skipped because the respondent was not in the survey when the question was asked as the question was added in HRS Wave 3. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing values .d, .r, or .m, respectively. SwDADOCCUP indicates the current wave’s spouse’s father's occupation when the respondent was 16, and its values are taken from the spouse's values to RADADOCCUP. In addition to the special missing codes used in RADADOCCUP, SwDADOCCUP employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. Plain missing (.) is assigned is the respondent's spouse did not respond to the current wave.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions related to father's occupation were added to the HRS in HRS Wave 3. RADADOCCUP takes the first reported father's occupation a respondent provides.

How Constructed: RwSYSTOL1, RwSYSTOL2, and RwSYSTOL3 are the respondent's first, second, and third systolic blood pressure readings. RwSYSTOL is the average of the second and third systolic blood pressure readings. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .x is assigned if the respondent tried to do the test but was unable to complete it. Special missing .s is employed if the physical measure questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the blood pressure measurement due to a variety of reasons, including safety concerns, or the respondent did not understand the instructions. Plain missing (.) is employed for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwSYSTOL1, SwSYSTOL2, SwSYSTOL3 and SwSYSTOL indicate the first, second, third and the average of the second and third systolic blood pressure measurements of the current wave's spouse. The spouse variable is taken from the corresponding respondent variable. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwSYSTOL1, RwSYSTOL2, RwSYSTOL3 and RwSYSTOL, SwSYSTOL1, SwSYSTOL2, SwSYSTOL3 and SwSYSTOL employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwDIASTO1, RwDIASTO2, RwDIASTO3 are the respondent's first, second, and third diastolic blood pressure readings. RwDIASTO is the average of the second and the third diastolic blood pressure readings. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .x is assigned if the respondent tried to do the test but was unable to complete it. Special missing .s is employed if the physical measure questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the blood pressure measurement due to a variety of reasons, including safety concerns, or the respondent did not understand the instructions. Plain missing (.) is employed for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwDIASTO1, SwDIASTO2, SwDIASTO3 and SwDIASTO indicate the first, second, third and the average of the second and third diastolic blood pressure readings of the current wave’s spouse. The spouse variable is taken from the corresponding respondent variable. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwDIASTO1, RwDIASTO2, RwDIASTO3, and RwDIASTO, SwDIASTO1, SwDIASTO2, SwDIASTO3 and SwDIASTO employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwPULSE1, RwPULSE2, and RwPULSE3 are the respondent's first, second, and third pulse reading. RwPULSE is the average of the second and the third pulse readings. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .x is assigned if the respondent tried to do the test but was unable to complete it. Special missing .s is employed if the physical measure questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the blood pressure measurement due to a variety of reasons, including safety concerns, or the respondent did not understand the instructions. Plain missing (.) is employed for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwPULSE1, SwPULSE2, SwPULSE3 and SwPULSE indicate the first, second, third and the average of the second and third pulse readings for the current wave's spouse. The spouse variable is taken from the corresponding respondent variable. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwPULSE1, RwPULSE2, RwPULSE3 and RwPULSE, SwPULSE1, SwPULSE2, SwPULSE3 and SwPULSE employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwBLDPOS indicates the position the respondent was in for the blood pressure tests. RwBLDPOS is coded as follows: 1.standing, 2.sitting, and 3.lying down. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .s is assigned if the physical measure questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. Special missing

.n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the blood pressure measurement due to a variety of reasons, including safety concerns, or the respondent did not understand the instructions. RwBLDPOS is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwBLDPOS indicates the respondent's current wave's spouse's position for the blood pressure tests, and is taken from RwBLDPOS. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwBLDPOS, SwBLDPOS employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwBPCOMP indicates whether the respondent is willing and able to complete the blood pressure test. RwBPCOMP is coded as 1 if the respondent did not signal having a rash, a cast, edema in the arm, open sores or wounds, or a significant bruise in contact with the blood pressure cuff, the respondent understood the directions for the test, and the respondent felt it would be safe to complete the test. RwBPCOMP is coded as 0 if the respondent had a rash, a cast, edema, open sores or wounds, or significant bruises in contact with the blood pressure cuff, the respondent did not understand the instructions, or expressed safety concerns. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .s is assigned if the physical measure questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. This measure is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwBPCOMP indicates the respondent's current wave's spouse's ability to complete the blood pressure test, and is taken from RwBPCOMP. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwBPCOMP, SwBPCOMP employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

How Constructed: RwPUFF1, RwPUFF2, and RwPUFF3 indicate the respondents first, second, and third breathing test results. RwPUFF indicates the maximum measurement taken for the breathing test. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses for the breathing tests are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .x is assigned if the respondent tried to do the test but was unable to do it or received an error message. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the measurement due to a variety of reasons, including safety concerns or the respondent did not understand the instructions. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwPUFF1, SwPUFF2, SwPUFF3, and SwPUFF indicate the respective results for the current wave’s spouse. In addition to the special missing codes used for RwPUFF1, RwPUFF2, RwPUFF3, and RwPUFF, SwPUFF1, SwPUFF2, SwPUFF3, and SwPUFF employ two additional missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

RwPUFFPOS indicates the position the respondent was in during the test. RwPUFFPOS is coded as follows: 1.standing, 2.sitting, and 3.lying down. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses for the breathing test position are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the measurement due to a variety of reasons, including safety concerns, or the respondent did not understand the instructions. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwPUFFPOS indicate the position for the current wave’s spouse during the puff test. In addition to the special missing codes used for RwPUFFPOS, SwPUFFPOS employs two additional missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwPUFFCOMP indicates whether the respondent is willing and able to complete the breathing test. RwPUFFCOMP is coded as 1 if the respondent understood the directions for the test, and the respondent felt it would be safe to complete the test. RwPUFFCOMP is coded as 0 if the respondent did not understand the instructions, or expressed safety concerns. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .s is assigned if the physical measure questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. This measure is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwPUFFCOMP indicates whether the current wave’s spouse was willing and able to complete the breathing test. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwPUFFCOMP, SwPUFFCOMP employs two additional missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

How Constructed: RwDOMHAND indicates the respondent's dominant hand. RwDOMHAND is coded as follows: 1.right hand, 2.left hand, and 3.both hands are equally dominant. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the hand strength measurement due to a variety of reasons, including safety concerns or the respondent did not understand the instructions. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwDOMHAND indicates the current wave's spouse' dominant hand, and is taken from RwDOMHAND. In addition to the special missing codes used for RwDOMHAND, SwDOMHAND employs two additional missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwLGRIP1, RwLGRIP2, RwRGRIP1, and RwRGRIP2 indicate the respondent’s first and second hand strength measurements for the left and right hand, respectively. RwLGRIP and RwRGRIP indicate the respondent's maximum hand strength measurement for the left and right hand, respectively. RwGRIPSUM indicates the maximum measurement of the dominant hand, as such, RwLGRIP is used for respondents with a dominant left hand, and RwRGRIP is used for respondents with a dominant right hand. For respondents with equally dominant hands, the greater value between RwLGRIP and RwRGRIP is used. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses of all hand strength measurements are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m. Special missing .x is assigned if the respondent tried to do the test but was unable to do it. The special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the hand strength measurement due to a variety of reasons, including safety concerns or the respondent did not understand the instructions. Special missing .i is assigned if the value of the hand strength measurements was invalid in wave 7. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwLGRIP1, SwLGRIP2, SwRGRIP1, and SwRGRIP2 indicate the current wave's spouse' first and second, left and right hand strength measurements, and is taken from the corresponding respondent variables. SwLGRIP and SwRGRIP indicate the current wave's spouse' maximum hand strength measurement for the left and right hand, respectively. SwGRIPSUM indicates the current wave's spouse' dominant hand measurement, and is taken from the spouse's values to RwGRIPSUM. In addition to the special missing codes used by RwLGRIP1, RwLGRIP2, RwRGRIP1, RwRGRIP2, RwLGRIP, RwRGRIP, and RwGRIPSUM, SwLGRIP1, SwLGRIP2, SwRGRIP1, SwRGRIP2, SwLGRIP, SwRGRIP, and SwGRIPSUM employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwGRIPCOMP indicates whether the respondent is willing and able to complete the grip strength test. RwGRIPCOMP is coded as 1 if the respondent did not signal having had surgery or experience swelling, inflammation, severe pain, or injury in one or both hands within the last 6 months, the respondent understood the directions for the test, and the respondent felt it would be safe to complete the test. RwGRIPCOMP is coded as 0 if the respondent did have surgery or experience swelling, inflammation, severe pain, or injury in one or both hands within the last 6 months, the respondent did not understand the instructions, or the respondent expressed safety concerns. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .s is assigned if the physical measure questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. This measure is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwGRIPCOMP indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse is willing and able to complete the grip strength test, and its values are taken from RwGRIPCOMP. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwGRIPCOMP, SwGRIPCOMP employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value

.v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Hand strength tests began in wave 7, but they were only given to a random subsample of approximately 3300 respondents.

How Constructed: RwSEMITAN indicates the amount of time the respondent held the semi-tandem standing test in seconds to two decimal places. The maximum value is 10 seconds. The respondent is instructed to stand with the side of the heel of one foot touching the big toe of the other foot for 10 seconds, if they are able. The respondent is allowed to put either foot in front and may use their arms, bend their knees or use their body to maintain balance. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses for the balance tests are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .x is assigned if the respondent tried to do the test but was unable to do it or received an error message. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the standing tests due to various reasons, including not understanding the instructions and safety concerns. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwSEMITAN indicates the length of time the respondent's current wave's spouse held the semi-tandem standing test, and its values are taken from RwSEMITAN. In addition to the special missing codes employed

RwFULLTAN indicates the amount of time the respondent held the full-tandem test in seconds to two decimal places. The maximum value is 30 and 60 seconds, depending on age. Respondents over the age of 65 were only expected to hold full-tandem for 30 seconds, but their full time was recorded if past 30 seconds, while those 65 and under were expected to hold 60 seconds, if able. The respondent was instructed to stand with the heel of one foot in front of the other, touching the toes of the front foot for 30 seconds or 60 seconds, depending on age. The respondent was allowed to use their arms, bend their knees, or move their body to maintain balance. Only respondents who maintained the semi-tandem position for the full 10 seconds performed the full-tandem test.

How Constructed: RwWSPEED1 and RwWSPEED2 indicate the first and second walking speed of the respondent across a 12 foot, non-carpeted area. RwWSPEED indicates the average of the first and second walking speed of the respondent. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses for the walking tests are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .x is assigned if the respondent tried to do the test but was unable to do it or received an error message. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. In wave 7, special missing .s is also assigned if the respondent was not selected for the walking speed tests. Starting in wave 8, special missing .s is also assigned if the respondent was under age 64. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the measurements due to various reasons, including the respondent did not understand the instructions and safety concerns. Special missing .i is assigned if the value of the walking speed measurements was invalid in wave 7. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwWSPEED1, SwWSPEED2 and SwWSPEED indicate the first, second, and average walking speed of the current wave’s spouse, and is taken from the spouse's values to RwWSPEED1, RwWSPEED2, and RwWSPEED. In addition to the special missing codes used for RwWSPEED1, RwWSPEED2, and RwWSPEED, SwWSPEED1, SwWSPEED2 and SwWSPEED employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwWALKCOMP indicates whether the respondent was willing and able to complete the walking speed test. RwWALKCOMP is coded as 1 if the respondent did not report problems from recent surgery, injury, or other health conditions that might prevent them from walking, the respondent understood the instructions, and the respondent felt safe doing the test. RwWALKCOMP is coded as 0 if the respondent did have health conditions that might prevent them from walking, the respondent did not understand the instructions, or the respondent did not feel safe doing the test. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses for the balance tests are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. In wave 7, special missing .s is also assigned if the respondent was not selected for the walking speed tests. Starting in wave 8, special missing .s is also assigned if the respondent was under age 64. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwWALKCOMP indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse was willing and able to complete the walking speed test, and its values are taken from RwWALKCOMP. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwWALKCOMP, SwWALKCOMP employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value

.v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Physical measures began in wave 7, but they were only given to a random subsample of approximately 3300 respondents. Of this subsample, a smaller subsample was given the walking speed tests. Walking speed tests were given to a larger sample of respondents starting in wave 8. If the respondent was selected for some physical measures but not the walking speed tests in wave 7, then special missing .s is assigned. Starting in wave 8, if the walking speed tests were not performed because the respondent was under age 64, then special missing .s is assigned. Special missing .i for invalid values in RwWSPEED1, RwWSPEED2, and RwWSPEED is only used in wave 7.

How Constructed: RwMHEIGHT, RwMWEIGHT and RwMWAIST indicate the respondent's measured height, measured weight and measured waist circumference, respectively. RwMBMI is the respondent's body mass index and it is derived by dividing the respondent’s measured weight (kg) by the squared value of their measured height. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses of height, weight and waist measurements are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .x is assigned if the respondent tried to do the test but was unable to do it or received an error message. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. In wave 7, special missing .s is also assigned if the respondent was not selected for the height or weight measurements. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not complete the measurements due to a safety concerns. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwMHEIGHT, SwMWEIGHT, SwMWAIST and SwMBMI indicate the measured height, weight, waist circumference, and body mass index of the current wave’s spouse, respectively. Their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwMHEIGHT, RwMWEIGHT, RwMWAIST and RwMBMI. In addition to the special missing codes used for RwMHEIGHT, RwMWEIGHT, RwMWAIST and RwMBMI, SwMHEIGHT, SwMWEIGHT, SwMWAIST and SwMBMI employ two additional missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwHTCOMP indicates whether the respondent was willing and able to complete the height measurement. RwHTCOMP is coded as 1 if the respondent completed the measurement, and the respondent understood the directions for the measurement, and felt it was safe to partake in the test. RwHTCOMP is coded as 0 if the respondent either did not understand the directions or did not feel it would be safe to partake in the test. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. In wave 7, special missing .s is also assigned if the respondent was not selected for the height measurement. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave.

SwHTCOMP indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse was willing and able to complete the height measurement, and its values are taken from RwHTCOMP. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHTCOMP, SwHTCOMP employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwWTCOMP indicates whether the respondent was willing and able to complete the weight measurement. RwWTCOMP is coded as 1 if the respondent completed the measurement, and the respondent understood the directions for the measurement, and felt it was safe to partake in the test. RwWTCOMP is coded as 0 if the respondent either did not understand the directions or did not feel it would be safe to partake in the test. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. In wave 7, special missing .s is also assigned if the respondent was not selected for the weight measurement. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwWTCOMP indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse was willing and able to complete the weight measurement, and its values are taken from RwWTCOMP. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwWTCOMP, SwWTCOMP employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwWATCOMP indicates whether the respondent was willing and able to complete the waist circumference measurement. RwWATCOMP is coded as 1 if the respondent completed the measurement, and the respondent was able to stand during the measurement, the respondent understood the directions for the measurement, and felt it was safe to partake in the test. RwWATCOMP is coded as 0 if the respondent was not able to stand during the measurement, the respondent did not understand the directions, or did not feel it would be safe to partake in the test. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwWATCOMP indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse was willing and able to complete the waist circumference measurement, and its values are taken from RwWATCOMP. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwWATCOMP, SwWATCOMP employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwSHOEH and RwSHOEW indicate whether the respondent was wearing shoes during the height measurement and the weight measurement, respectively. RwSHOEH and RwSHOEW are coded as 1 if the respondent was wearing shoes, while a 0 indicates the respondent was not wearing shoes. RwBULKY indicates whether the respondent was wearing bulky clothes during the waist circumference measurement. RwBULKY is coded as 1 if the respondent was wearing bulky clothes, while a 0 indicates that they were not wearing bulky clothes during the waist circumference measurement. Don’t know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, .m, respectively. Special missing .s is assigned if the questions were skipped because the respondent was not selected for a face-to-face interview, was not selected for an enhanced face-to-face interview, or was living in the nursing home. In wave 7, special missing .s is also assigned if the respondent was not selected for the height or weight measurements. Plain missing (.) is assigned for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. SwSHOEH and SwSHOEW indicate whether the current wave’s spouse was wearing shoes during the height measurement and weight measurement, respectively. SwBULKY indicates whether the current wave’s spouse was wearing bulky cloths during the waist circumference measurement. Their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwSHOEH, RwSHOEW and RwBULKY. In addition to the special missing codes used for RwSHOEH, RwSHOEW and RwBULKY, SwSHOEH, SwSHOEW and SwBULKY employ two additional missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Section K: Physical Measures 320

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Physical measure tests began in wave 7, but they were only given to a random subsample of approximately 3300 respondents. Of this subsample, smaller subsamples were given the height or weight measurements. Height and weight measurements were given to a larger sample of respondents starting in wave 8. Waist circumference was not measured until wave 8. If the respondent was selected for some physical measures but not the height or weight measurements in wave 7, then special missing .s is assigned.

How Constructed: RwMEALHLP, RwSHOPHLP, RwPHONEHLP, RwMEDHLP, and RwMONEYHLP indicate whether anyone helps the respondent with each IADL. RwMEALHLP indicates whether respondents who have difficulty with meal preparation have anyone help them prepare hot meals. RwSHOPHLP indicates whether respondents who have difficulty with grocery shopping have anyone help them shop for groceries. RwPHONEHLP indicates whether respondents who have difficulty with making phone calls have anyone help them make phone calls. RwMEDHLP indicates whether respondents who have difficulty with taking medications have anyone help them with taking medications. RwMONEYHLP indicates whether respondents who have difficulty managing money have anyone help them manage their money. These variables are coded as 1 if someone helps the respondent with the IADL, while a 0 indicates that nobody helps the respondent with the IADL. In wave 3 and forward, respondents are asked whether they have difficulty with a particular IADL due to health or memory problems. If the respondent reported difficulty with a particular IADL because of a health or memory problem, then they are asked whether anyone helps with that same activity. Respondents who do not have difficulty with a particular IADL are assigned special missing code .x. Respondents who reported that they "don't do" the activity when asked if they have difficulty with it, are assigned special missing .j. For RwMEDHLP, respondents who do not currently take medication and expect to have no problem with their medication if taking it becomes necessary in the future are also assigned special missing code .x. Starting in wave 4, respondents who live in a nursing home or other health care facility are not asked RwMEALHLP, RwSHOPHLP, and RwMEDHLP and are assigned special missing .n. In wave 7, an erroneous program allowed Spanish respondents to answer "can't do" or "don't do" when answering questions used in RwMEALHLP, RwSHOPHLP, RwPHONEHLP, RwMEDHLP, and RwMONEYHLP, and these responses are coded as .t and .j, respectively. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwMEALHLP, RwSHOPHLP, RwPHONEHLP, RwMEDHLP, and RwMONEYHLP are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave.

Section L: Functional Limitations 330

SwMEALHLP, SwSHOPHLP, SwPHONEHLP, SwMEDHLP, and SwMONEYHLP indicate whether anyone helps the respondent's current wave's spouse with the associated IADL. These values are taken from RwMEALHLP, RwSHOPHLP, RwPHONEHLP, RwMEDHLP, and RwMONEYHLP. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwMEALHLP, RwSHOPHLP, RwPHONEHLP, RwMEDHLP, and RwMONEYHLP, SwMEALHLP, SwSHOPHLP, SwPHONEHLP, SwMEDHLP, and SwMONEYHLP employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Whether anyone helps with specific IADL activities is asked beginning in wave 3. In waves 3 through 5, respondents are able to say that 2 people helped them manage their money, so RwMONEYHLP accounts for both of these questions. In wave 7, an erroneous program allowed Spanish respondents to answer 'Can't do' or 'Don't do' when answering questions for variables RwMEALHLP, RwSHOPHLP, and RwPHONEHLP, these responses are coded as special missing .t and .j, respectively.

How Constructed: RwDRIVE indicates whether the respondent is able to drive. RwDRIVE is coded as 1 if the respondent is able to drive, while a 0 indicates that the respondent is not able to drive. In the AHEAD samples in waves 2 and 3, respondents of all ages were asked about their driving ability. In the wave 3 HRS sample, respondents under the age of 68 were not asked this question and so are assigned special missing code .a in wave 3. In wave 4 and forward, respondents under the age of 65 were not asked this question and so are assigned special missing code .a. If the respondent reports never driving, special missing .n is assigned. Respondents in the wave 2 HRS sample are not asked this question, and so are assigned special missing .q in wave 2. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwDRIVE is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwDRIVE indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse is able to drive, and is taken from RwDRIVE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwDRIVE, SwDRIVE employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Whether a respondent is able to drive is asked regardless of age in the AHEAD samples in waves 2 and 3. The wave 2 HRS respondents are not asked about their ability to drive, and are assigned special missing .q in wave 2. The wave 3 HRS respondents aged 68 and older are asked if they are able to drive, so those younger than 68 are assigned special missing .a in wave 3. Starting in wave 4, respondents age 65 and older are asked whether they are able to drive, so those younger than 65 are assigned special missing .a.

How Constructed: RwHANDRT indicates the respondent's self-rated hand strength. RwHANDRT is coded as follows: 1. very strong, 2. somewhat strong, 3. somewhat weak, and 4. very weak. If the respondent did not participate in the enhanced face-to-face interview, then special missing code .s is assigned. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwHANDRT is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwHANDRT indicates the respondent's current wave's spouse's self-rated hand strength, and is taken from RwHANDRT. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHANDRT, SwHANDRT employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwSBREATH indicates how often the respondent becomes short of breath while awake. RwSBREATH is coded as follows: 1. often, 2. sometimes, 3. rarely, and 4. never. If the respondent did not participate in the enhanced face-to-face interview, then special missing code .s is assigned. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwSBREATH is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwSBREATH indicates how often the respondent's current wave's spouse becomes short of breath while awake, and is taken from RwSBREATH. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwSBREATH, SwSBREATH employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwBALANC indicates how often the respondent has difficulty with balance. RwBALANC is coded as follows: 1. often, 2. sometimes, 3. rarely, and 4. never. If the respondent did not participate in the enhanced face-to-face interview, then special missing code .s is assigned. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwBALANC is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave.

How Constructed: RwFTRHLP indicates whether, supposing in the future the respondent needed help with basic personal care activities like eating or dressing (i.e. ADL), they have relatives or friends besides a spouse/partner, who would be willing and able to help them over a long period with said needs. RwFTRHLP is coded as 1 if the respondent would have someone willing and able to help them in the future if need be, while a 0 indicates they do not have anyone. Special missing code .h is employed if the respondent currently receives help with ADLs or IADLs. Starting in wave 6, special missing code .n is employed if the respondent resides in a nursing home or health care facility, and is not asked this question. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwFTRHLP is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwFTRHLP indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has someone who could help with future ADL needs, and is taken from RwFTRHLP. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwFTRHLP, SwFTRHLP employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwFTRKIDS indicates whether a child, child-in-law, or grandchild of the respondent would be willing and able to help the respondent with basic personal care activities if needed in the future. RwFTRKIDS is coded as 0 if the respondent did not report a child, child-in-law, or grandchild could help or that nobody could help, and is coded as 1 if a child, child-in-law, or grandchild could help. This question is asked if the respondent answered they do have someone who would be willing and able to help if needed in the future with basic personal care activities. Special missing code .h is employed if the respondent currently receives help with ADLs or IADLs. Starting in wave 6, special missing code .n is employed if the respondent resides in a nursing home or health care facility, and is not asked this question. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwFTRKIDS is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwFTRKIDS indicates whether a child, child-in-law, or grandchild would help the respondent's current wave's spouse with future ADL needs, and is taken from RwFTRKIDS. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwFTRKIDS, SwFTRKIDS employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwFTROTHR indicates whether a relative of the respondent or someone else, not child or grandchild, would be willing and able to help the respondent with basic personal care activities if needed in the future. RwFTROTHR is coded as 0 if the respondent did not report a relative or someone else could help or that nobody could help, and is coded as 1 if a relative or someone else could help. This question is asked if the respondent answered they do have someone who would be willing and able to help if needed in the future with basic personal care activities. Special missing code .h is employed if the respondent currently receives help with ADLs or IADLs.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions about whether someone would help the respondent if they had future need for help with personal care activities are asked beginning in wave 2. In waves 2 through 5, respondents are asked about future ADL assistance whether or not the respondent lives in a nursing home. Starting in wave 6, respondents living in a nursing home are not asked these questions.

How Constructed: RwCAREFOR_H indicates how often the respondent reported caring for a sick or disabled adult, and is available only in wave 9. RwCAREFOR_H is coded as follows: 1. daily, 2. several times a week, 3. once a week, 4. several times a month, 5. at least once a month, and 6. not in the last month. RwCAREFOR indicates how often the respondent reported caring for a sick or disabled adult, and is available starting in wave 10. RwCAREFOR is coded the same as RwCAREFOR_H with the addition of a final category: 7.never/not relevant. Special code .l is employed if the respondent did not complete the leave behind questionnaire or is not eligible for the leave behind questionnaire in this wave. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwCAREFOR_H and RwCAREFOR are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwCAREFOR_H and SwCAREFOR indicate how often the respondent's current wave's spouse cares for a sick or disabled adult, and are taken from RwCAREFOR_H and RwCAREFOR. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwCAREFOR_H and RwCAREFOR, SwCAREFOR_H and SwCAREFOR employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are asked how often they care for a sick or disabled adult in the leave behind questionnaire starting in wave 9.

How Constructed: RwLIMHWRK indicates whether the respondent has any impairment or health problem that limits the kind or amount of work that can be done around the house. RwLIMHWRK is coded as 1 if the respondent does have an impairment or health problem that limits the kind or amount of work that can be done around the house, while a 0 indicates the respondent does not have such an impairment. If the respondent voluntarily reports being too old to work, then special missing code .o is assigned. Respondents who report having an impairment or health problem that limits the kind or amount of paid work they can do were not asked this question regarding housework limitations and are assigned special missing code .w. Respondents who participated in the AHEAD cohorts in waves 2 and 3 were not asked this question, and are assigned special

missing code .q. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwLIMHWRK is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwLIMHWRK indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse has a health problem that limits their ability to do housework, and is taken from RwLIMHWRK. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwLIMHWRK, SwLIMHWRK employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwLIMIMPAR indicates whether the respondent is limited in any way in activities because of an impairment or problem. RwLIMIMPAR is coded as 1 if the respondent is limited in some way because of an impairment or problem, while a 0 indicates the respondent is not limited. Respondents who reported that an impairment or health problem limits the kind or amount of work they do around the house were not asked this question, and also coded as 1 for being limited in some way. Respondents who reported having an impairment or health problem that limits the kind or amount of paid work they can do were not asked this question, and are assigned special missing .w. Respondents who voluntarily reported being too old to work when asked whether an impairment or health problem limits the kind or amount of paid work, were not asked this question and were assigned special missing code .o. Respondents who participated in the AHEAD cohorts in waves 2 and 3 were not asked this question, and are assigned special missing code .q. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing codes .d, .r, and .m, respectively. RwLIMIMPAR is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwLIMIMPAR indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse is limited in activities due to a health problem, and is taken from RwLIMIMPAR. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwLIMIMPAR, SwLIMIMPAR employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS These limitation questions are not asked in wave 1. Limitation questions are not asked to the AHEAD cohorts in waves 2 and 3, but are asked to the waves 2 and 3 HRS cohorts. Therefore, the AHEAD cohorts in waves 2 and 3 are assigned special missing .q for these variables. In waves 2 through 6, respondents are not given the option to answer 'Too old to work' for questions pertaining to RwLIMHWRK. In Wave 7, respondents who reported a work disability in a prior wave were erroneously not asked whether their health affects paid work and were asked whether any health impairment limited their housework or any other activities, making the number of respondents to answer these questions much higher than any other waves.

How Constructed: The following variables indicate whether the respondent's spouse helps the respondent with any ADL needs, including eating, using the toilet, dressing, bathing, walking across a room, or any IADL needs, including preparing meals, grocery shopping, making phone calls, taking medications, and managing money. If the respondent experiences any difficulty with an ADL or IADL and reports receiving help from someone, they are asked what their relationship is to the person who helps with each ADL and IADL. The information used to derive these variables is taken from the HRS helper files. The following variables are coded as special missing .x if the respondent reports no difficulty with any ADL or IADL, and are coded as special missing .h if the respondent reports difficulty with an ADL or IADL but does not receive any help. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. RwHLPSP indicates whether the respondent's spouse helps the respondent with any ADL or IADL needs. RwHLPSP is coded as 0 if the respondent receives no assistance from their spouse, and coded as 1 if the respondent does receive help from their spouse. RwHLPSP is not available in HRS waves 1 and 2. In wave 2, RwHLPSP is assigned special missing .q if the respondent participated in HRS wave 2. RwHLPSPDAY indicates the number of days per week the respondent's spouse helps the respondent with ADL or IADL needs. This variable comprises converted responses reported in terms of 'Days in last month', 'Days per week', and 'Everyday'. Respondents were allowed to report the amount of time each helper assists in one of the three mentioned frequencies. RwHLPSPDYM indicates whether the respondent provided the number of days they were helped by their spouse. A value of 1 indicates that the spouse did help the respondent but no value of days was reported. A value of 0 indicates the spouse did help the respondent and a value for the number of days was reported. RwHLPSPDAY and RwHLPSPDYM are not available in AHEAD waves 1 and 2 and HRS waves 1 through 4. RwHLPSPHR indicates the number of hours per day the respondent's spouse helps the respondent with any ADL or IADL needs. Respondents are asked, on days their spouse helps with a particular ADL or IADL need, how many hours per day their spouse helps. If the respondent reports less than an hour, then a 1 is recorded. RwHLPSPHRM indicates whether the respondent provided the number of hours they were helped by their spouse. A value of 1 indicates that the spouse did help the respondent but no value of hours was reported. A value of 0 indicates that the spouse did help the respondent and a value for the number of hours was reported. RwHLPSPHR and RwHLPSPHRM are not available in AHEAD waves 1 and 2 and HRS waves 1 through 4. RwHLPSP, RwHLPSPDAY, RwHLPSPDYM, RwHLPSPHR, and RwHLPSPHRM include only help from the current spouse/partner of the respondent. SwHLPSP, SwHLPSPDAY, and SwHLPSPHR indicate whether and the frequency with which the respondent's current wave's spouse receives help from the respondent, and their values are taken from RwHLPSP, RwHLPSPDAY, and

Section L: Functional Limitations 366

RwHLPSPHR. SwHLPSPDYM and SwHLPSPHRM indicate whether or not a value was reported for the number of days and hours the respondent's current spouse was helped by the respondent and are taken from RwHLPSPDYM and RwHLPSPHRM. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHLPSP, RwHLPSPDAY, RwHLPSPDYM, RwHLPSPHR, and RwHLPSPHRM, SwHLPSP, SwHLPSPDAY, SwHLPSPDYM, SwHLPSPHR, and SwHLPSPHRM employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are not asked who helps them with ADLs or IADLs in HRS waves 1 and 2. All variables listed above are not available in wave 1. Respondents are asked who helps them with ADLs or IADLs starting in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2) and HRS wave 3. As such, RwHLPSP is available starting in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2) and HRS wave 3. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPSP is assigned special missing .q in wave 2 because they were not asked this question. In AHEAD waves 1 and 2 and HRS waves 3 and 4, respondents can report that their current spouse helps them with ADLs or IADLs. However, respondents are not asked about the number of days or number of hours that the respondent's spouse helps the respondent in these waves. As such, RwHLPSPDAY, RwHLPSPDYM, RwHLPSPHR, and RwHLPSPHRM are not available in waves 2 through 4. Starting in wave 5, respondents are asked who helps them with ADLs or IADLS, and are asked about the number of days or number of hours that the respondent's spouse helps the respondent. As such, RwHLPSPDAY, RwHLPSPDYM, RwHLPSPHR, and RwHLPSPHRM are available beginning in wave 5. In wave 2 for those in the AHEAD wave 1 sample, respondents are asked to report one person who helps them with each individual ADL or IADL that they report someone helping them with. Starting in wave 3, respondents are asked to report up to 7 people who help with ADLs, up to 6 people who help with preparing meals, grocery shopping, making phone calls, and taking medication, and up to 2 people who help with managing money. In wave 2, AHEAD respondents are asked whether anyone helps the respondent with each ADL prior to being asked if they have difficulty with each ADL, making this wave not completely comparable with the subsequent waves. To make this wave more comparable with subsequent waves, we have assigned special missing codes if the respondent reports receiving no help and having no difficulty with the ADL, and if the respondent reports receiving help but having no difficulty with the ADL in RwDRESSHLP, RwWALKHLP, RwBATHEHLP, RwEATHLP, RwBEDHLP, and RwTOILETHLP in wave 2. For more information, please see the sections entitled "ADL Help" and "IADL Help" above.

How Constructed: The following variables indicate whether the respondent's children or grandchildren help the respondent with any ADL needs, including eating, using the toilet, dressing, bathing, walking across a room, or any IADL needs, including preparing meals, grocery shopping, making phone calls, taking medications, and managing money. If the respondent experiences any difficulty with an ADL or IADL and reports receiving help from someone, they are asked what their relationship is to the person who helps with each ADL and IADL. The information used to derive these variables is taken from the HRS helper files.

Section L: Functional Limitations 379

The following variables are coded as special missing .x if the respondent reports no difficulty with any ADL or IADL, and are coded as special missing .h if the respondent reports difficulty with an ADL or IADL but does not receive any help. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. RwHLPKIDN indicates the number of the respondent's children or grandchildren who help the respondent with ADL or IADL needs. RwHLPKIDN is not available in HRS waves 1 and 2. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPKIDN is assigned special missing .q in wave 2. RwHLPKIDDAY indicates the number of days total per week the respondent's children or grandchildren help the respondent with ADL or IADL needs. This variable comprises converted responses reported in terms of 'Days in last month', 'Days per week', and 'Everyday'. Respondents were allowed to report the amount of time each helper assists in one of the three mentioned frequencies. Because respondents can report more than one helper, values can be over 7 days. RwHLPKIDDYM indicates the number of children or grandchildren who helped the respondent for whom no value of days was reported and was not accounted for in RwHLPKIDDAY. RwHLPKIDDAY and RwHLPKIDDYM are not available in waves 1 and 2. RwHLPKIDHR indicates the number of hours per day the respondent's children or grandchildren help the respondent with ADL or IADL needs. Respondents are asked, on days their children or grandchildren help, how many hours per day that is. If the respondent reports less than an hour, then a 1 is recorded. RwHLPKIDHRM indicates the number of children or grandchildren who helped the respondent for whom no value of hours was reported and was not accounted for in RwHLPKIDHR. RwHLPKIDHR and RwHLPKIDHRM are not available in HRS waves 1 and 2. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPKIDHR is assigned special missing .q in wave 2. RwHLPKIDN, RwHLPKIDDAY, RwHLPKIDDYM, RwHLPKIDHR, and RwHLPKIDHRM include help from sons, step-sons, spouse/partner of daughters, son-in-laws, daughters, step-daughters, spouse/partner of sons, daughter-in-laws, grandchildren, unlisted children or children-in-law, former step-children, former children-in-law, spouse/partner of grandchildren, ambiguous child relation, and ambiguous child-in-law relation. SwHLPKIDN, SwHLPKIDDAY, and SwHLPKIDHR indicate the number and the frequency with which the respondent's current wave's spouse receives help from children or grandchildren, and their values are taken from RwHLPKIDN, RwHLPKIDDAY, and RwHLPKIDHR. SwHLPKIDDYM and SwHLPKIDHRM indicate the number of children who helped the respondent's current spouse for whom a value was not reported for the number of days and hours and are taken from RwHLPKIDDYM and RwHLPKIDHRM. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHLPKIDN, RwHLPKIDDAY, RwHLPKIDDYM, RwHLPKIDHR, and RwHLPKIDHRM, SwHLPKIDN, SwHLPKIDDAY, SwHLPKIDDYM, SwHLPKIDHR, and SwHLPKIDHRM employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are not asked who helps them with ADLs or IADLS in HRS waves 1 and 2. All variables listed above are not available in wave 1. Respondents are asked who helps them with ADLS or IADLS starting in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2) and HRS wave 3. As such, RwHLPKIDN is available starting in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2) and HRS wave 3. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPKIDN is assigned special missing .q in wave 2 because they were not asked these questions. In AHEAD wave 1, respondents can report that a child or grandchild helps them with ADLs or IADLs, and were asked how frequently and the number of hours that the child or grandchild provides help. However, the frequency of help is not comparable to other waves and so RwHLPKIDDAY and RwHLPKIDDYM are not available in AHEAD wave 1. The number of hours that the child or grandchild helps is comparable, and so RwHLPKIDHR and RwHLPKIDHRM are available in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2). If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPKIDHR and RwHLPKIDHRM are assigned special missing .q in wave 2 because they were not asked this question. Starting in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, respondents are asked who helps them with ADLs or IADLs, and are asked about the number of days or number of hours that the respondent's child or grandchild helps the respondent. As such, RwHLPKIDN, RwHLPKIDDAY, RwHLPKIDDYM, RwHLPKIDHR, and RwHLPKIDHRM are available beginning in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3 in wave 3.

In wave 2 for those in the AHEAD wave 1 sample, respondents are asked to report one person who helps them with each individual ADL or IADL that they report someone helping them with. Starting in wave 3, respondents are asked to report up to 7 people who help with ADLs, up to 6 people who help with preparing meals, grocery shopping, making phone calls, and taking medication, and up to 2 people who help with managing money. In wave 2, AHEAD respondents are asked whether anyone helps the respondent with each ADL prior to being asked if they have difficulty with each ADL, making this wave not completely comparable with the subsequent waves. To make this wave more comparable with subsequent waves, we have assigned special missing codes if the respondent reports receiving no help and having no difficulty with the ADL, and if the respondent reports receiving help but having no difficulty with the ADL in RwDRESSHLP, RwWALKHLP, RwBATHEHLP, RwEATHLP, RwBEDHLP, and RwTOILETHLP in wave 2. For more information, please see the sections entitled "ADL Help" and "IADL Help" above.

How Constructed: The following variables indicate whether any other person helps the respondent with any ADL needs, including eating, using the toilet, dressing, bathing, walking across a room, or any IADL needs, including preparing meals, grocery shopping, making phone calls, taking medications, and managing money. If the respondent experiences any difficulty with an ADL or IADL and reports receiving help from someone, they are asked what their relationship is to the person who helps with each ADL and IADL. The information used to derive these variables is taken from the HRS helper files.

Section L: Functional Limitations 393

The following variables are coded as special missing .x if the respondent reports no difficulty with any ADL or IADL, and are coded as special missing .h if the respondent reports difficulty with an ADL or IADL but does not receive any help. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. RwHLPOTHN indicates the number of other non-professional people who help the respondent with ADL or IADL needs. RwHLPOTHN is not available in HRS waves 1 and 2. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPOTHN is assigned special missing .q in wave 2. RwHLPOTHDAY indicates the number of days total per week unpaid people help the respondent with ADL or IADL needs. This variable comprises converted responses reported in terms of 'Days in last month', 'Days per week', and 'everyday'. Respondents were allowed to report the amount of time each helper assists in one of the three mentioned frequencies. Because respondents can report more than one helper, values can be over 7 days. RwHLPOTHDYM indicates the number of other people who helped the respondent for whom no value of days was reported and was not accounted for in RwHLPOTHDAY. RwHLPOTHDAY and RwHLPOTHDYM are not available in waves 1 and 2. RwHLPOTHHR indicates the number of hours per day unpaid people help the respondent with ADL or IADL needs. Respondents are asked, on days an unpaid person helps, how many hours per day that is. If the respondent reports less than an hour, then a 1 is recorded. RwHLPOTHHRM indicates the number of other people who helped the respondent for whom no value of hours was reported and was not accounted for in RwHLPOTHHR. RwHLPOTHHR and RwHLPOTHHRM are not available in HRS waves 1 and 2. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPOTHHR is assigned special missing .q in wave 2. RwHLPOTHN, RwHLPOTHDAY, RwHLPOTHDYM, RwHLPOTHHR, and RwHLPOTHHRM includes father, father of spouse/partner, mother, mother of spouse/partner, respondent's parents, brother, brother of spouse/partner, sister, sister of spouse/partner, other relative, other individual, an organization, ex-spouse/partner, and person of unknown relationship. SwHLPOTHN, SwHLPOTHDAY, and SwHLPOTHHR indicate the number and the frequency with which the respondent's current wave's spouse receives help from unpaid people, and are taken from RwHLPOTHN, RwHLPOTHDAY, and RwHLPOTHHR. SwHLPOTHDYM and SwHLPOTHHRM indicate the number of other people who helped the respondent's current spouse for whom a value was not reported for the number of days and hours and are taken from RwHLPOTHDYM and RwHLPOTHHRM. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHLPOTHN, RwHLPOTHDAY, RwHLPOTHDYM, RwHLPOTHHR, and RwHLPOTHHRM, SwHLPOTHN, SwHLPOTHDAY, SwHLPOTHDYM, SwHLPOTHHR, and SwHLPOTHHRM employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are not asked who helps them with ADLs or IADLS in HRS waves 1 and 2. All variables listed above are not available in wave 1. Respondents are asked who helps them with ADLS or IADLS starting in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2) and HRS wave 3. As such, RwHLPOTHN is available starting in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2) and HRS wave 3. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPOTHN is assigned special missing .q in wave 2 because they were not asked this question. In AHEAD wave 1, respondents can report that a relative or other non-professional person helps them with ADLs or IADLs, and were asked how frequently and the number of hours that the relative or other non-professional person provides help. However, the frequency of help is not comparable to other waves and so RwHLPOTHDAY and RwHLPOTHDYM are not available in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2). The number of hours that the relative or other non-professional person helps is comparable, and so RwHLPOTHHR and RwHLPOTHHRM are available in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2). If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPOTHHR and RwHLPOTHHRM are assigned special missing .q in wave 2 because they were not asked this question. Starting in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, respondents are asked who helps them with ADLs or IADLs, and are asked about the number of days or number of hours that the respondent's relative or other non-professional person helps the respondent. As such, RwHLPOTHN, RwHLPOTHDAY, RwHLPOTHDYM, RwHLPOTHHR, and RwHLPOTHHRM are available beginning in wave 3.

In wave 2 for those in the AHEAD wave 1 sample, respondents are asked to report one person who helps them with each individual ADL or IADL that they report someone helping them with. Starting in wave 3, respondents are asked to report up to 7 people who help with ADLs, up to 6 people who help with preparing meals, grocery shopping, making phone calls, and taking medication, and up to 2 people who help with managing money. In wave 2, AHEAD respondents are asked whether anyone helps the respondent with each ADL prior to being asked if they have difficulty with each ADL, making this wave not completely comparable with the subsequent waves. To make this wave more comparable with subsequent waves, we have assigned special missing codes if the respondent reports receiving no help and having no difficulty with the ADL, and if the respondent reports receiving help but having no difficulty with the ADL in RwDRESSHLP, RwWALKHLP, RwBATHEHLP, RwEATHLP, RwBEDHLP, and RwTOILETHLP in wave 2. For more information, please see the sections entitled "ADL Help" and "IADL Help" above.

How Constructed: The following variables indicate whether a professional helps the respondent with any ADL needs, including eating, using the toilet, dressing, bathing, walking across a room, or any IADL needs, including preparing meals, grocery shopping, making phone calls, taking medications, and managing money. If the respondent experiences any difficulty with an ADL or IADL and reports receiving help from someone, they are asked what their relationship is to the person who helps with each ADL and IADL. The information used to derive these variables is taken from the HRS helper files. The following variable is coded as special missing .x if the respondent reports no difficulty with any ADL or IADL, and is coded as special missing .h if the respondent reports difficulty with an ADL or IADL but does not receive any help. This variable is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. RwHLPPRO indicates whether the respondent receives any professional help with any ADL or IADL needs. RwHLPPRO is coded as 0 if the respondent receives no professional assistance, and coded as 1 if the respondent does receive professional assistance. RwHLPPRO includes any help from an employee of an institution, paid helper, or a professional. RwHLPPRO is not available in HRS waves 1 and 2. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPPRO is assigned special missing .q in wave 2. SwHLPPRO indicates whether the respondent's current wave's spouse receives professional help, and its values are taken from RwHLPPRO. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHLPPRO, SwHLPPRO employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are not asked who helps them with ADLs or IADLS in HRS waves 1 and 2. RwHLPPRO is not available in wave 1.

Respondents are asked who helps them with ADLS or IADLS starting in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2) and HRS wave 3. As such, RwHLPPRO is available starting in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2) and HRS wave 3. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPPRO is assigned special missing .q in wave 2 because they were not asked this question. In wave 2 for those in the AHEAD wave 1 sample, respondents are asked to report one person who helps them with each individual ADL or IADL that they report someone helping them with. Starting in wave 3, respondents are asked to report up to 7 people who help with ADLs, up to 6 people who help with preparing meals, grocery shopping, making phone calls, and taking medication, and up to 2 people who help with managing money. In wave 2, AHEAD respondents are asked whether anyone helps the respondent with each ADL prior to being asked if they have difficulty with each ADL, making this wave not completely comparable with the subsequent waves. To make this wave more comparable with subsequent waves, we have assigned special missing codes if the respondent reports receiving no help and having no difficulty with the ADL, and if the respondent reports receiving help but having no difficulty with the ADL in RwDRESSHLP, RwWALKHLP, RwBATHEHLP, RwEATHLP, RwBEDHLP, and RwTOILETHLP in wave 2. For more information, please see the sections entitled "ADL Help" and "IADL Help" above.

How Constructed: The following variables indicate whether a paid helper helps the respondent with any ADL needs, including eating, using the toilet, dressing, bathing, walking across a room, or any IADL needs, including preparing meals, grocery shopping, making phone calls, taking medications, and managing money. If the respondent experiences any difficulty with an ADL or IADL and reports receiving help from someone, they are asked what their relationship is to the person who helps with each ADL and IADL. The information used to derive these variables is taken from the HRS helper files. The following variables are coded as special missing .x if the respondent reports no difficulty with any ADL or IADL, and are coded as special missing .h if the respondent reports difficulty with an ADL or IADL but does not receive any help. They are coded as special missing .s if the respondent's spouse is the only person who helps with ADL or IADL difficulties. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. RwHLPPDN indicates the number of helpers who are paid to help the respondent. This question is asked for every helper the respondent reported helped them (children and grandchildren, relatives, and others), but is not asked for help from professional caregivers or spouses. RwHLPPDN is not available in HRS waves 1 and 2. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RWHLPPDN is assigned special missing .q in wave 2. In AHEAD wave 1, if the respondent is helped less than once per week, then the question is not asked and RwHLPPDN is assigned special missing .w in wave 2. SwHLPPDN indicates the number of helpers who are paid to help the respondent's current wave's spouse and is taken directly from RwHLPPDN. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHLPPDN, SwHLPPDN employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwHLPPDIN indicates the number of paid helpers for whom Medicaid, the state's version of Medicaid, or insurance helps pay for. This question is asked for every helper the respondent reported was paid to help them (children and grandchildren, relatives, and others), but is not asked for help from professional caregivers or spouses. RwHLPPDIN is not available in HRS waves 1 and 2. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RWHLPPDIN is assigned special missing .q in wave 2. In AHEAD wave 1, if the respondent is helped less than once per week, then the question is not asked and RwHLPPDIN is assigned special missing .w in wave 2. SwHLPPDIN indicates the number of paid helpers of the respondent's current wave's spouse for whom Medicaid, the state's version of Medicaid, or insurance helps pay for and is taken directly from RwHLPPDIN. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHLPPDIN, SwHLPPDIN employs two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwHLPPDAMT indicates the total monthly out-of-pocket cost for the respondent's paid caregiving. RwHLPPDAMT is the sum of the out-of-pocket monthly costs paid for all paid helpers. The amount the respondent and their spouse paid for each caregiver (not accounting expenses paid by Medicaid, the state's version of Medicaid, or insurance) is asked for every paid helper the respondent reported helped them (children and grandchildren, relatives, and others), but is not asked for help from professional caregivers or spouses. RwHLPPDAMTM indicates the number of paid helpers who helped the respondent for whom no amount of out-of-pocket cost was reported and was not accounted for in RwHLPPDAMT. RwHLPPDAMT and

HLPPDAMTM are not available in HRS waves 1 and 2. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPPDAMT is assigned special missing .q in wave 2. In AHEAD wave 1, if the respondent is helped less than once per week, then the question is not asked and RwHLPPDAMT is assigned special missing .w in wave 2. SwHLPPDAMT indicates the total monthly out-of-pocket cost for the respondent's current wave's spouse's formal care, and its values are taken from RwHLPPDAMT. SwHLPPDAMTM indicates the number of paid helpers who helped the respondent's current spouse for whom no amount of out-of-pocket cost was reported and is taken from RwHLPPDAMTM. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwHLPPDAMT and RwHLPPDAMT, SwHLPPDAMT and SwHLPPDAMTM employ two additional special missing codes. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Respondents are not asked who helps them with ADLs or IADLS in HRS waves 1 and 2. All variables listed above are not available in wave 1. Respondents are asked who helps them with ADLS or IADLS starting in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2) and HRS wave 3. As such, RwHLPPDN, RwHLPPDIN, RwHLPPDAMT, and RwHLPPDAMTM are available starting in AHEAD wave 1 (in wave 2) and HRS wave 3. If the respondent participated in HRS wave 2, then RwHLPPDN, RwHLPPDIN, and RwHLPPDAMT are assigned special missing .q in wave 2 because they were not asked this question. In all available waves, the respondent is not asked these questions if their spouse is their only helper, and these variables are assigned special missing .s. Only in AHEAD wave 1, the respondent is not asked these questions if their helper helps less than once per week. In this wave, RwHLPPDN, RwHLPPDIN, and RwHLPPDAMT are assigned special missing .w in wave 2 if the respondent is not asked these questions because their helper helps less than once per week. In wave 2 for those in the AHEAD wave 1 sample, respondents are asked to report one person who helps them with each individual ADL or IADL that they report someone helping them with. Starting in wave 3, respondents are asked to report up to 7 people who help with ADLs, up to 6 people who help with preparing meals, grocery shopping, making phone calls, and taking medication, and up to 2 people who help with managing money. In wave 2, AHEAD respondents are asked whether anyone helps the respondent with each ADL prior to being asked if they have difficulty with each ADL, making this wave not completely comparable with the subsequent waves. To make this wave more comparable with subsequent waves, we have assigned special missing codes if the respondent reports receiving no help and having no difficulty with the ADL, and if the respondent reports receiving help but having no difficulty with the ADL in RwDRESSHLP, RwWALKHLP, RwBATHEHLP, RwEATHLP, RwBEDHLP, and RwTOILETHLP in wave 2.

How Constructed: RwSATJOB indicates how much the respondents agree that they are satisfied with the job after all things considered. RwDEMAND indicates how much the respondents agree that their job is physically demanding. RwDESERVE indicates how much the respondents agree that they receive the recognition they deserve from work. RwSALARY indicates how much the respondents agree that their salary is adequate. RwPROMOT indicates how much the respondents agree that their job promotion prospects are poor. RwSECURE indicates how much the respondents agree that their job security is poor. RwTIMEPRE indicates how much the respondents agree that their job is under constant time pressure due to a heavy workload. RwLTLFREE indicates how much the respondents agree that they have very little freedom to decide how to do the work. RwNSKILLS indicates how much the respondents agree that they have the opportunity to develop new skills. RwSUPPORT indicates how much the respondents agree that they receive adequate support in difficult situations.

Section M: Stress 440

RwINTERF indicates how much the respondents agree that their job interferes with their personal life. These items are generally treated as continuous variables. A code of 1 is assigned if the respondent strongly disagreed with the statement. A code of 2 is assigned if the respondent disagreed with the statement. A code of 3 is assigned if the respondent agreed with the statement. A code of 4 is assigned if the respondent strongly agreed with the statement. Special missing .w is assigned if the respondent indicates he/she is not currently working. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .a is assigned if the respondent reports that the statement does not apply to them. Special missing .e is assigned if the respondent was not asked the question due to a skip pattern error. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwSATJOB, SwDEMAND, SwDESERVE, SwSALARY, SwPROMOT, SwSECURE, SwTIMEPRE, SwLTLFREE, SwNSKILLS, SwSUPPORT, SwCONTROL, SwWORKFAST, SwUPSET, SwNCONFLIC and SwINTERF indicate the current wave’s spouse’s level of agreement with statements about their job and are taken from the spouse's values to RwSATJOB, RwDEMAND, RwDESERVE, RwSALARY, RwPROMOT, RwSECURE, RwTIMEPRE, RwLTLFREE, RwNSKILLS, RwSUPPORT, RwCONTROL, RwWORKFAST, RwUPSET, RwNCONFLIC and RwINTERF. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwSATJOB, RwDEMAND, RwDESERVE, RwSALARY, RwPROMOT, RwSECURE, RwTIMEPRE, RwLTLFREE, RwNSKILLS, RwSUPPORT, RwCONTROL, RwWORKFAST, RwUPSET, RwNCONFLIC and RwINTERF, SwSATJOB, SwDEMAND, SwDESERVE, SwSALARY, SwPROMOT, SwSECURE, SwTIMEPRE, SwLTLFREE, SwNSKILLS, SwSUPPORT, SwCONTROL, SwWORKFAST, SwUPSET, SwNCONFLIC and SwINTERF employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwJOBSUM indicates the mean of the six different job stress questions (RwSATJOB, RwDEMAND, RwSALARY, RwSECURE, RwTIMEPRE and RwNSKILLS) and can be used as a summary score. Since RwJOBSUM indicates how stressful the respondent's job is, we reverse coded the values of RwSATJOB, RwSALARY and RwNSKILLS to make sure that higher scores indicate more stress that the respondent feels about their job. The coding of RwSECURE, RwDEMAND and RwTIMEPRE did not change. RwJOBSUM is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its six components. RwJOBSUMM counts the number of components with missing values in RwJOBSUM, which could be between no missing components (0) and five missing components (5). Special missing .w is assigned if the respondent indicates he/she is not currently working. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .a is assigned if the respondent reports that the statement does not apply to them. Special missing .e is assigned if the respondent was not asked the question due to a skip pattern error. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwJOBSUM and SwJOBSUMM indicate the mean summary score of six different job stress questions and the count of any missing components in that score for the current wave’s spouse and is taken from the spouse's values to RwJOBSUM and RwJOBSUMM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwJOBSUM and RwJOBSUMM, SwJOBSUM and SwJOBSUMM employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS The Karasek Job Content questions were added to the HRS survey starting at Wave 8. Starting in wave 9, "Does not apply" is available as an option for the question "The demands of my job interfere with my personal life." Starting in wave 10, HRS added one more option, "Does not apply", for the respondent to select for all statements. RwSATJOB, which indicates how much the respondent agrees that they are satisfied with their job after all things considered, is the only question asked in wave 12. Thus, RwJOBSUM is not able to be generated in wave 12.

How Constructed: Neighborhood physical disorder/neighborhood social cohesion questions were asked to respondents to learn about their feelings regarding their local area, that is, everywhere within a 20 minute walk or about a mile of their home. Starting in wave 8, respondents are presented with two statements, one negative and one positive (e.g. “I really feel part of this area” and “I feel that I don’t belong in this area”). Of the 8 questions, five of the positive statements are on the left and 3 of the positive statements are on the right. In between the two statements respondents were asked to mark an answer on a scale of 1 to 7 indicating how closely they agree with either statement. After wave 8, respondents are given a positive statement on the left and a negative statement on the right for each question. To account for the difference of the three Wave 8 questions with right-sided positive statements, these questions are recoded to agree with all other questions and waves so that, for all variables, a report of 1 means the respondent most closely agrees with the positive statement and a report of 7 indicates the respondent most closely agrees with the negative statement. RwBELONG indicates how much the respondents feel that they are part of/don't belong in this area.

For RwBELONG, RwVANDAL, RwTRUST, RwAFWALK, RwUNFRIEND, RwRUBBISH, RwHLPNTR and RwVACANT, special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwBELONG, SwVANDAL, SwTRUST, SwAFWALK, SwUNFRIEND, SwRUBBISH, SwHLPNTR and SwVACANT indicate the current wave’s spouse’s feelings about statements about their neighborhood and are taken from the spouse's values to RwBELONG, RwVANDAL, RwTRUST, RwAFWALK, RwUNFRIEND, RwRUBBISH, RwHLPNTR and RwVACANT. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwBELONG, RwVANDAL, RwTRUST, RwAFWALK, RwUNFRIEND, RwRUBBISH, RwHLPNTR and RwVACANT, SwBELONG, SwVANDAL, SwTRUST, SwAFWALK, SwUNFRIEND, SwRUBBISH, SwHLPNTR and SwVACANT employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwNPDISSUM is the calculation of the mean of four neighborhood physical disorder questions and can be used as a summary score. RwNPDISSUM is calculated as: RwNPDISSUM = mean(RwVANDAL RwAFWALK RwRUBBISH RwVACANT). RwNPDISSUM is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its four components. RwNPDISSUMM counts the number of components with missing values in RwNPDISSUM. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwNPDISSUM and SwNPDISSUMM indicate the summary score of the mean of four different neighborhood physical disorder questions and the count of any missing components in that score for the current wave’s spouse and is taken from the spouse's values to RwNPDISSUM and RwNPDISSUMM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwNPDISSUM and RwNPDISSUMM, SwNPDISSUM and SwNPDISSUMM employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwNSOCOSUM is the calculation of the mean of four neighborhood social cohesion questions and can be used as a summary score. RwNSOCOSUM is calculated as: RwNSOCOSUM = mean(RwBELONG RwTRUST RwUNFRIEND RwHLPNTR). RwNSOCOSUM is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its four components. RwNSOCOSUMM counts the number of components with missing values in RwNSOCOSUM. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave.

SwNSOCOSUM and SwNSOCOSUMM indicate the summary score of the mean of four different neighborhood social cohesion questions and the count of any missing components in that score for the current wave’s spouse and is taken from the spouse's values to RwNSOCOSUM and RwNSOCOSUMM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwNSOCOSUM and RwNSOCOSUMM, SwNSOCOSUM and SwNSOCOSUMM employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Neighborhood physical disorder/social cohesion questions are asked starting in wave 8. Unlike other questions in wave 8 which have the positive statement on the left, how much the respondents feel vandalism and graffiti is no problem/a big problem in this area, how much the respondents feel safe/afraid walking alone in this area after dark, and how much the respondents feel there are no/many vacant or deserted houses or storefronts in this area have the positive statement on the right. In all other waves, for all questions the positive statement is always on the left. For the sake of cross-wave consistency R8VANDAL, R8AFWALK, and R8VACANT in the Harmonized HRS have been reverse-coded to be consistent and comparable with all other waves.

How Constructed: Many of the questions in this section are asked of the same respondent in more than one wave. Sometimes the values in each wave do not agree. Wave-specific variables are as reported, whereas summary variables are as described below. RAMISCHLTH indicates whether the respondent missed a month or more of school before age 16 because of a health condition. RwPABUSED indicates whether the respondent was physically abused by either of his/her parents before age 18. RwPADRUG indicates whether either of the respondent's parents drank or used drugs so often that it caused problems in the family before age 18. RwNADISE indicates whether the respondent has ever been in a major fire, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster. RwCOMBATE indicates whether the respondent has ever fired a weapon in combat or been fired upon in combat. RwATTACKE indicates whether the respondent was a victim of a serious physical attack or assault. RwLIFETHE indicates whether the respondent has ever had a life-threatening illness or accident. RwCHDEATHE indicates whether the respondent has experienced the death of his/her own child. RwLIFETHCSE indicates whether the respondent's spouse or a child has ever had a life-threatening illness or accident. RwDRUGCSE indicates whether the respondent's spouse, partner, or child has ever been addicted to drugs or alcohol.

Section M: Stress 470

RwPOLICE indicates whether the respondent has been in trouble with the police before the age of 18. RAMISCHLTH, RwPABUSED, RwPADRUG, RwNADISE, RwCOMBATE, RwATTACKE, RwLIFETHE, RwCHDEATHE, RwLIFETHCSE, RwDRUGCSE, and RwPOLICE are given a code of 1 if the respondent gave a positive answer to the question. A code of 0 is assigned if the respondent gave a negative answer to the question. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .a is assigned to RAMISCHLTH if the respondent was not interviewed when the question was asked. Special missing .n is assigned for RwATTACKE, RwLIFETHE, RwCHDEATHE, and RwLIFETHCSE in wave 7 when the question is skipped because the respondent was only asked to answer the disability questionnaire and not the psycho-social questionnaire. Special missing .s is assigned for RAMISCHLTH if the respondent is not asked the question because they participated in an internet survey. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. Special missing .d and .r are assigned when the respondent responded to the question with "don't know" and refused to answer, respectively. Special missing (.) is assigned if the respondent is not the wave. SwMISCHLTH, SwPABUSED, SwPADRUG, SwNADISE, SwCOMBATE, SwATTACKE, SwLIFETHE, SwCHDEATHE, SwLIFETHCSE, SwDRUGCSE, and SwPOLICE indicate the respondent's current wave's spouse's experience with lifetime stressful experiences, and their values are taken from RAMISCHLTH, RwPABUSED, RwPADRUG, RwNADISE, RwCOMBATE, RwATTACKE, RwLIFETHE, RwCHDEATHE, RwLIFETHCSE, RwDRUGCSE, and RwPOLICE. In addition to the special missing codes used in the respondent variables, the spouse variables employ two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RALSEVENT is the count of how many lifetime stressful events the respondent experienced. The count is based on the latest report of whether the respondent has ever been in a major fire, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster (RwNADISE), whether the respondent has ever fired a weapon in combat or been fired upon in combat (RwCOMBATE), whether the respondent was a victim of a serious physical attack or assault (RwATTACKE), whether the respondent ever had a life-threatening illness or accident (RwLIFETHE), whether the respondent has experienced the death of his/her own child (RwCHDEATHE), whether respondent's spouse or a child has ever had a life-threatening illness or accident (RwLIFETHCSE), and whether the respondent's spouse, partner, or child has ever been addicted to drugs or alcohol (RwDRUGCSE). Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if all seven components of this count are missing. RALSEVENTM is the count of missing components in RALSEVENT, which could be between no missing components (0) and seven missing components (7). SwLSEVENT and SwLSEVENTM are the count of how many lifetime stressful events and the count of missing components for the current wave's spouse, and their values are taken from RALSEVENT and RALSEVENTM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RALSEVENT, SwLSEVENT employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RACSEVENT is the count of how many stressful events the respondent experienced by the age of 18. The count is based on the earliest report of whether the respondent was in trouble with the police before the age of 18 (RwPOLICE), whether either of the respondent's parents drank or used drugs so often that it caused problems in the family before age 18 (RwPADRUG), and whether the respondent was physically abused by either of his/her parents before age 18 (RwPABUSED). Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if all three component of this count were missing.

SwCSEVENT and SwCSEVENTM are the count of how many childhood stressful events and the count of missing components for the current wave's spouse, and their values are taken from RACSEVENT and RACSEVENTM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RACSEVENT, SwCSEVENT employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwHEALTHCH is the respondent's self-rated health while they were growing up, before age 16. The respondent used a scale ranging from Excellent to Poor. Codes range from 1 to 5 with one being excellent

SwHEALTHCH, SwFINANCH, SwMOMEFT, SwMOMATT, SwMOMGRELA, and SwDADGRELA indicate the respondent's current wave's spouse's experience with childhood stressful experiences, and their values are taken from RwHEALTHCH, RAFINANCH, RwMOMEFT, RwMOMATT, RwMOMGRELA, and RwDADGRELA. In addition to the special missing codes used in the respondent variables, the spouse variables employ two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RAPWARM is the mean measure of parental warmth. It is based on the earliest report of the following three components: how much time and attention the respondent's mother gave them when they needed it before age 18 (RwMOMATT), how much effort the respondent's mother put into watching over and making sure the

Section M: Stress 472

respondent had a good upbringing before age 18 (RwMOMEFT), and how much the respondent agrees that he/she had a good relationship with their mothers before age 18 (RwMOMGRELA). To construct this mean score, RwMOMGRELA had to be reverse coded and transitioned from a five-point score to the four-point score, such that the neutral response of "neither agree or disagree with the statement" of having a good relationship with mother before age of 18 is given a score of 2.5, 1 is associated with a positive response, whereas 4 is associated with a negative one, and 2 and 3 are the nuances in between. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if all three component of this mean score are missing. RAPWARMM is the count of missing components in RAPWARM, which could be between no missing components (0) and three missing components (3). SwPWARM and SwPWARMM are the mean measure of parental warmth and the count of missing components for the current wave's spouse, and their values are taken from RAPWARM and RAPWARMM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RAPWARM, SwPWARM employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. Special missing (.) is assigned if the respondent's spouse is not in the wave. RALIVDIFFCH indicates whether the respondent experienced a difficult living arrangement before age 16. A code of 1 is assigned if the respondent had ever lived in a children's home, orphanage, a foster family or a boarding school. A code of 0 is assigned if the respondent never lived in a children's home, orphanage, a foster family or a boarding school. Special missing .a is assigned if the respondent was not asked this question as part of the HRS Life History Survey. Special missing .m is assigned if the response for the question is missing. RAPADIVCH indicates whether the respondent's parents separated or divorced before age 16. RAPADIECH indicates whether one or both of the respondent's parents died before age 16. RASEPMOM indicates whether the respondent was ever separated from their mother before age 16. RASEPDAD indicates whether the respondent was ever separated from their father before age 16. A code of 1 is assigned if the respondent agrees with the statement. A code of 0 is assigned if the respondent disagrees with the statement. Special missing .a is assigned if the respondent was not asked this question as part of the HRS Life History Survey. Special missing .m is assigned if the response for the question is missing. SwLIVDIFFCH, SwPADIVCH, SwPADIECH, SwSEPMOM and SwSEPDAD indicate the respondent's current wave’s spouse's living and family situations in childhood, and their values are taken from the RALIVDIFFCH, RAPADIVCH, RAPADIECH, RASEPMOM and RASEPDAD. In addition to the special missing codes used in the respondent variables, the spouse variables employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. Special missing (.) is assigned if the respondent's spouse is not in the wave. RALHCHILD is the count of how many childhood stressful life events the respondent experienced by the age of 16 and is based on the following life history components: whether the respondent experienced a difficult living arrangement before age 16 (RALIVDIFFCH), whether the respondent's parents separated or divorce before age 16 (RAPADIVCH), and whether before the age of 16 one or both parents of the respondent died (RAPADIECH). Special missing .a is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the life history questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent took the life history questionnaire, but did not respond to the three components of the summary score. RALHCHILDM is the count of missing components in RALHCHILD, which could be between no missing components (0) and three missing components (3).

SwLHCHILDM is the count of missing components in SwLHCHILD and is taken from the spouse's values of RALHCHILDM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RALHCHILD, SwLHCHILD employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. Special missing (.) is assigned if the respondent's spouse is not in the wave.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions about self-rated health and family financial situation while the respondent was growing up before age 16 were added at Wave 4. The self-rated health question is asked of all participants in Wave 4

Page 474: Harmonized HRS Documentation...Harmonized CRELES (Costa Rica) data. Further information about these Harmonized data files Further information about these Harmonized data files with

Section M: Stress 473

and Wave 9. Participants in waves 5 through 8 and after Wave 9 are only asked the self-rated health question if they did not participate in a previous wave. The family financial situation question is asked of all participants in Wave 4 and then only of new participants in the waves thereafter. Questions about whether the respondent was physically abused by either of his/her parents, and whether his/her parents drank or used drugs so often that it caused problems were added in Wave 8. Questions about whether the respondent had been a victim of an attack/assault, had a life-threatening illness or accident, has experienced death of their own child, and has experienced a spouse or a child having a life-threatening illness or accident were added in the Wave 7 self-completion survey but were only asked to a portion of the leave-behind sample as HRS administered two self-completion surveys in Wave 7, a Psycho-Social survey and a Disability Vignettes survey. Starting in Wave 8, there was only one self-completion survey. Questions about whether the respondent had been in a major fire, flood, earthquake or other natural disaster, had fired a weapon in combat or been fired upon in combat, and has experienced a spouse, partner, or child having an addiction to drugs or alcohol were added in Wave 8. Questions about whether the respondent has been in trouble with the police before the age of 18 was added in Wave 9. Questions about how much respondents agree that they had a good relationship with their mother/father, how much effort the respondents' mother put into watching over them and making sure the respondent had a good upbringing, and how much time and attention the respondent's mother gave them when they needed it before age 18 were added in Wave 9. Questions about whether the respondent missed a month or more of school before age 16 because of a health condition were added in Wave 9. This question was also asked in an experimental module of Wave 3, but the responses are not added to the harmonized HRS. Questions about whether the respondent had experienced a difficult living arrangement, whether the respondent's parents separated or divorced, whether the respondent's one or both parents died, and whether the respondent was ever separated from mother/father before age 16 were only asked in the life history questionnaire. Many of the childhood and lifetime stressful events questions were not asked starting in Wave 12.

How Constructed: Loneliness questions are asked to respondents as part of the self-completion survey. For all statements, respondents are asked how often they feel the statement and are given the options: often, some of the time, or hardly ever or never. In Wave 6 and 7, the answer options are listed 1)hardly ever or never, 2)some of the time, 3) often. Starting in Wave 8 the answer options are listed 1)often, 2)some of the time, 3)hardly ever or never. For the purposes of cross-wave consistency the answers from Wave 8 and forward have been reverse coded in the Harmonized variables to have the same answer codes as Waves 6 and 7. RwCOMPLAC indicates how often the respondent feels they lack companionship. RwLEFTOUT indicates how often the respondent feels left out.

RwISOLATE indicates how often the respondent feels isolated from others. RwINTUNE indicates how often the respondent feels in tune with the people around them. For all waves these statements are coded as followed: 1. often, 2. some of the time and 3. hardly ever or never. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. Don't know and refused answers are assigned special missing .d and .r, respectively. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwCOMPLAC, SwLEFTOUT, SwISOLATE and SwINTUNE indicate how often the current wave’s spouse feels lack of companionship, left out, isolated from other and in tune with the people around, respectively. They are taken from the spouse's values to RwCOMPLAC, RwLEFTOUT, RwISOLATE and RwINTUNE. In addition to the special missing codes employed by RwCOMPLAC, RwLEFTOUT, RwISOLATE and RwINTUNE, SwCOMPLAC, SwLEFTOUT, SwISOLATE and SwINTUNE employ two additional missing codes, .u and .v. If the respondent is not designated as coupled in the current wave and assumed to be single a special missing value of .u is used. If the respondent is not designated as coupled in the current wave but reports being married a special missing value of .v is used. SwCOMPLAC, SwLEFTOUT, SwISOLATE and SwINTUNE are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not respond to the current wave. RwLNLYS indicates the mean of four different loneliness questions (RwCOMPLAC, RwLEFTOUT, RwISOLATE and RwINTUNE) and can be used as a summary score. Since RwLNLYS indicates how lonely the respondent feels, we reversed coded the values of RwCOMPLAC, RwLEFTOUT and RwISOLATE to make sure that higher scores indicate that the respondent feels more lonely. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. RwLNLYS is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its four components. RwLNLYSM counts the number of components with missing values in RwLNLYS, which could be between no missing components (0) and four missing components (4). SwLNLYS and SwLNLYSM indicate the mean summary score of four different loneliness questions and the count of any missing components for the respondent's current wave’s spouse, and their values are taken from RwLNLYS and RwLNLYSM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwLNLYS and RwLNLYSM, SwLNLYS and SwLNLYSM employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwLNLYS3 indicates the mean of three different loneliness questions (RwCOMPLAC, RwLEFTOUT and RwISOLATE) and can be used as a summary score. Since RwLNLYS3 indicates how lonely the respondent feels, we reverse-coded the values of RwCOMPLAC, RwLEFTOUT and RwISOLATE to make sure that higher scores indicate that the respondent feels more lonely. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their responses for the questions are missing. This variable is assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. RwLNLYS3 is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its three components. RwLNLYS3M counts the number of components with missing values in RwLNLYS3, which could be between no missing components (0) and three missing components (3). SwLNLYS3 and SwLNLYS3M indicate the mean summary score of three different loneliness questions and the count of any missing components for the respondent's current wave’s spouse, and their values are taken from RwLNLYS3 and RwLNLYS3M. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwLNLYS3 and RwLNLYS3M, SwLNLYS3 and SwLNLYS3M employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

How Constructed: RwSUSTDFE indicates how much the respondent feels their spouse really understands the way they feel about things. RwSRELY indicates how much the respondent feels they can rely on their spouse if they have a serious problem. RwSOPENUP indicates how much the respondent feels they can open up to their spouse when they need to talk about their worries. RwSDEMAND indicates how often the respondent feels their spouse makes too many demands on them. RwSCRITZE indicates how much the respondent feels their spouse criticizes them. RwSLETDOW indicates how much the respondent feels their spouse lets them down when they are counting on them. RwSGETNEV indicates how much the respondent feels their spouse gets on their nerves. RwSUSTDFE, RwSRELY, RwSOPENUP, RwSDEMAND, RwSCRITZE, RwSLETDOW and RwSGETNEV are coded as follow: 1. a lot, 2. some, 3. a little and 4. not at all. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent indicates they did not have a husband, wife or partner to live with. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwSUSTDFE, SwSRELY, SwSOPENUP, SwSDEMAND, SwSCRITZE, SwSLETDOW and SwSGETNEV indicate the respondent's current wave’s spouse’s feelings about their spouse, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwSUSTDFE, RwSRELY, RwSOPENUP, RwSDEMAND, RwSCRITZE, RwSLETDOW and RwSGETNEV. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwSUSTDFE, RwSRELY, RwSOPENUP, RwSDEMAND, RwSCRITZE, RwSLETDOW and

RwSGETNEV, SwSUSTDFE, SwSRELY, SwSOPENUP, SwSDEMAND, SwSCRITZE, SwSLETDOW and SwSGETNEV employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwSSUPPORT indicates the mean of the seven different spouse support questions (RwSUSTDFE, RwSRELY, RwSOPENUP, RwSDEMAND, RwSCRITZE, RwSLETDOW and RwSGETNEV) and can be used as a summary score. Since RwSSUPPORT indicates how much the respondent feels a lack of support from their spouse, we reverse coded the values of RwSDEMAND, RwSCRITZE, RwSLETDOW and RwSGETNEV to make sure that higher scores indicate less support that the respondent feels from their spouse. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent indicates they did not have a husband, wife or partner to live with. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for all questions are missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. RwSSUPPORT is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its seven components. RwSSUPPORTM counts the number of components with missing values in RwSSUPPORT, which could be between no missing components (0) and seven missing components (7). SwSSUPPORT and SwSSUPPORTM indicate the mean summary score of seven different spouse support questions and the count of any missing components for the respondent's current wave’s spouse, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwSSUPPORT and RwSSUPPORTM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwSSUPPORT, SwSSUPPORT employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

How Constructed: RwKUSTDFE indicates how much the respondent feels their children really understand the way they feel about things. RwKRELY indicates how much the respondent feels they can rely on their children if they have a serious problem. RwKOPENUP indicates how much the respondent feels they can open up to their children when they need to talk about their worries. RwKDEMAND indicates how often the respondent feels their children make too many demands on them. RwKCRITZE indicates how much the respondent feels their children criticize them. RwKLETDOW indicates how much the respondent feels their children let them down when they are counting on them. RwKGETNEV indicates how much the respondent feels their children get on their nerves. RwKUSTDFE, RwKRELY, RwKOPENUP, RwKDEMAND, RwKCRITZE, RwKLETDOW and RwKGETNEV are coded as follows: 1. a lot, 2. some, 3. a little and 4. not at all. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent indicates they did not have any children. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwKUSTDFE, SwKRELY, SwKOPENUP, SwKDEMAND, SwKCRITZE, SwKLETDOW and SwKGETNEV indicate how the respondent's current wave’s spouse feels about statements regarding their children, and their values are taken from RwKUSTDFE, RwKRELY, RwKOPENUP, RwKDEMAND, RwKCRITZE, RwKLETDOW and RwKGETNEV. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwKUSTDFE, RwKRELY, RwKOPENUP, RwKDEMAND, RwKCRITZE, RwKLETDOW and

RwKGETNEV, SwKUSTDFE, SwKRELY, SwKOPENUP, SwKDEMAND, SwKCRITZE, SwKLETDOW and SwKGETNEV employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwKSUPPORT indicates the mean of the seven different children support questions (RwKUSTDFE, RwKRELY, RwKOPENUP, RwKDEMAND, RwKCRITZE, RwKLETDOW and RwKGETNEV) and can be used as a summary score. Since RwKSUPPORT indicates how much the respondent feels a lack of support by their children, we reverse coded the values of RwKDEMAND, RwKCRITZE, RwKLETDOW and RwKGETNEV to make sure that higher scores indicate less support that the respondent feels from their children. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent indicates they did not have any children. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their responses for all seven questions are missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. RwKSUPPORT is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its seven components. RwKSUPPORTM counts the number of components with missing values in RwKSUPPORT, which could be between no missing components (0) and seven missing components (7). SwKSUPPORT and SwKSUPPORTM indicate the mean summary score of seven different children support questions and the count of any missing components for the respondent's current wave’s spouse, and their values are taken from RwKSUPPORT and RwKSUPPORTM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwKSUPPORT, SwKSUPPORT employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS The questions related to children's support were added in Wave 8.

How Constructed: RwOUSTDFE indicates how much the respondent feels their other immediate family members really understand the way they feel about things. RwORELY indicates how much the respondent feels they can rely on their other immediate family members if they have a serious problem. RwOOPENUP indicates how much the respondent feels they can open up to their other immediate family members when they need to talk about their worries. RwODEMAND indicates how often the respondent feels their other immediate family members makes too many demands on them. RwOCRITZE indicates how much the respondent feels their other immediate family members criticize them. RwOLETDOW indicates how much the respondent feels their other immediate family members let them down when they are counting on them. RwOGETNEV indicates how much the respondent feels their other immediate family members get on their nerves. RwOUSTDFE, RwORELY, RwOOPENUP, RwODEMAND, RwOCRITZE, RwOLETDOW and RwOGETNEV are coded as follows: 1. a lot, 2. some, 3. a little and 4. not at all. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent indicates they did not have any other immediate family members. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwOUSTDFE, SwORELY, SwOOPENUP, SwODEMAND, SwOCRITZE, SwOLETDOW and SwOGETNEV indicate how much the respondent's current wave’s spouse feels about statements regarding their other immediate family members,

Section M: Stress 506

and their values are taken from RwOUSTDFE, RwORELY, RwOOPENUP, RwODEMAND, RwOCRITZE, RwOLETDOW and RwOGETNEV. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwOUSTDFE, RwORELY, RwOOPENUP, RwODEMAND, RwOCRITZE, RwOLETDOW and RwOGETNEV, SwOUSTDFE, SwORELY, SwOOPENUP, SwODEMAND, SwOCRITZE, SwOLETDOW and SwOGETNEV employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwOSUPPORT indicates the mean of the seven different other immediate family members support questions (RwOUSTDFE, RwORELY, RwOOPENUP, RwODEMAND, RwOCRITZE, RwOLETDOW and RwOGETNEV) and can be used as a summary score. Since RwOSUPPORT indicates how much the respondent feels a lack of support from their other immediate family members, we reverse coded the values of RwODEMAND, RwOCRITZE, RwOLETDOW and RwOGETNEV to make sure that higher scores indicate less support that the respondent feels from their other immediate family members. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent indicates they did not have any other immediate family members. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their responses for all seven questions are missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. RwOSUPPORT is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its seven components. RwOSUPPORTM counts the number of components with missing values in RwOSUPPORT, which could be between no missing components (0) and seven missing components (7). SwOSUPPORT and SwOSUPPORTM indicate the mean summary score of seven different other immediate family members support questions and the count of any missing components for the respondent's current wave’s spouse, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwOSUPPORT and RwOSUPPORTM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwOSUPPORT, SwOSUPPORT employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

How Constructed: RwFUSTDFE indicates how much the respondent feels their friends really understand the way they feel about things. RwFRELY indicates how much the respondent feels they can rely on their friends if they have a serious problem. RwFOPENUP indicates how much the respondent feels they can open up to their friends when they need to talk about their worries. RwFDEMAND indicates how often the respondent feels their friends makes too many demands on them. RwFCRITZE indicates how much the respondent feels their friends criticize them. RwFLETDOW indicates how much the respondent feels their friends let them down when they are counting on them. RwFGETNEV indicates how much the respondent feels their friends get on their nerves. RwFUSTDFE, RwFRELY, RwFOPENUP, RwFDEMAND, RwFCRITZE, RwFLETDOW and RwFGETNEV are coded as follows: 1. a lot, 2. some, 3. a little and 4. not at all. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent indicates they did not have any friends. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwFUSTDFE, SwFRELY, SwFOPENUP, SwFDEMAND, SwFCRITZE, SwFLETDOW and SwFGETNEV indicate the respondent's current wave’s spouse’s feelings about statements regarding their friends, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwFUSTDFE, RwFRELY, RwFOPENUP, RwFDEMAND, RwFCRITZE, RwFLETDOW and RwFGETNEV. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwFUSTDFE, RwFRELY, RwFOPENUP, RwFDEMAND, RwFCRITZE,

RwFLETDOW and RwFGETNEV, SwFUSTDFE, SwFRELY, SwFOPENUP, SwFDEMAND, SwFCRITZE, SwFLETDOW and SwFGETNEV employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwFSUPPORT indicates the mean of the seven different friends support questions (RwFUSTDFE, RwFRELY, RwFOPENUP, RwFDEMAND, RwFCRITZE, RwFLETDOW and RwFGETNEV) and can be used as a summary score. Since RwFSUPPORT indicates how much the respondent feels a lack of support from their friends, we reverse coded the values of RwFDEMAND, RwFCRITZE, RwFLETDOW and RwFGETNEV to make sure that higher scores indicate less support that the respondent feels from their friends. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent indicates they did not have any friends. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their responses to all seven questions are missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. RwFSUPPORT is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its seven components. RwFSUPPORTM counts the number of components with missing values in RwFSUPPORT, which could be between no missing components (0) and seven missing components (7). SwFSUPPORT and SwFSUPPORTM indicate the mean summary score of seven different friends support questions and the count of any missing components for the respondent's current wave’s spouse, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwFSUPPORT and RwFSUPPORTM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwFSUPPORT, SwFSUPPORT employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS The questions related to friends' support were added in Wave 8.

How Constructed: RwLSRSPCT indicates how often the respondent is treated with less courtesy or respect than other people in day-to-day life. RwPRSRVC indicates how often the respondent receives poorer service than other people at restaurants or stores in day-to-day life. RwNOTSMRT indicates how often the respondent feels other people act as if they think the respondent is not smart in day-to-day life. RwHARASS indicates how often the respondent feels they were threatened or harassed in day-to-day life. RwPRTRMT indicates how often the respondent receives poorer service or treatment than other people from doctors or hospitals in day-to-day life. RwACTAFD indicates how often the respondent feels other people act as if they are afraid of the respondent in day-to-day life. RwLSRSPCT, RwPRSRVC, RwNOTSMRT, RwHARASS, RwPRTRMT and RwACTAFD are coded as follows: 1. almost everyday, 2. at least once a week, 3. a few times a month, 4. a few times a year, 5. less than once a year and 6. never. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave.

SwLSRSPCT, SwPRSRVC, SwNOTSMRT, SwHARASS, SwPRTRMT and SwACTAFD indicate the respondent's current wave’s spouse’s level of agreement with statements about daily life discrimination, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwLSRSPCT, RwPRSRVC, RwNOTSMRT, RwHARASS, RwPRTRMT and RwACTAFD. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwLSRSPCT, RwPRSRVC, RwNOTSMRT, RwHARASS, RwPRTRMT and RwACTAFD, SwLSRSPCT, SwPRSRVC, SwNOTSMRT, SwHARASS, SwPRTRMT and SwACTAFD employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwDSCRIM indicates the mean of the six different day-to-day life discrimination questions (RwLSRSPCT, RwPRSRVC, RwNOTSMRT, RwHARASS, RwPRTRMT and RwACTAFD) and can be used as a summary score. Since RwDSCRIM indicates day-to-day life discrimination, we reverse coded the values of RwLSRSPCT, RwPRSRVC, RwNOTSMRT, RwHARASS, RwPRTRMT and RwACTAFD to make sure that higher scores indicate more discrimination that the respondent feels. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their responses for all six questions are missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. RwDSCRIM is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its six components. RwDSCRIMM counts the number of components with missing values in RwDSCRIM, which could be between no missing components (0) and six missing components (6). SwDSCRIM and SwDSCRIMM indicate the mean summary score of six different day-to-day life discrimination questions and the count of any missing components for this score for the respondent's current wave’s spouse, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwDSCRIM and RwDSCRIMM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwDSCRIM, SwDSCRIM employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwDSCRIM5 indicates the mean of the five different day-to-day life discrimination questions (RwLSRSPCT, RwPRSRVC, RwNOTSMRT, RwHARASS and RwPRTRMT) and can be used as a summary score. Since RwDSCRIM5 indicates day-to-day life discrimination, we reverse coded the values of RwLSRSPCT, RwPRSRVC, RwNOTSMRT, RwHARASS and RwPRTRMT to make sure that higher scores indicate more discrimination that the respondent feels. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their responses for all five questions are missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. RwDSCRIM5 is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its six components. RwDSCRIM5M counts the number of components with missing values in RwDSCRI5M, which could be between no missing components (0) and five missing components (5). SwDSCRIM5 and SwDSCRIM5M indicate the mean summary score of five different day-to-day life discrimination questions and the count of any missing components for this score for the respondent's current wave’s spouse, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwDSCRIM5 and RwDSCRIM5M. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwDSCRIM5, SwDSCRIM5 employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions about how often the respondent feels that they are treated with less courtesy or respect, that they receive poorer service at restaurants, that they feel other people act as if the respondent is not smart, that they feel threatened or harassed, and that they receive poorer service or treatment from doctors or hospitals are asked beginning in wave 8. The 5 item discrimination summary mean score is available beginning in wave 8. Questions about how often the respondent feels other people act as if they are afraid of the respondent in day-to-day life were added in Wave 9; as a result, the 6 item discrimination summary mean score is only available starting in Wave 9.

How Constructed: RwDCORIGN indicates whether the respondent thinks their ancestry or national origin is the reason for their experience of discrimination. RwDCGENDR indicates whether the respondent thinks their gender is the reason for their experience of discrimination. RwDCRACE indicates whether the respondent thinks their race is the reason for their experience of discrimination. RwDCAGE indicates whether the respondent thinks their age is the reason for their experience of discrimination. RwDCRLGON indicates whether the respondent thinks their religion is the reason for their experience of discrimination. RwDCWEGT indicates whether the respondent thinks their weight is the reason for their experience of discrimination. RwDCDSTAT indicates whether the respondent thinks their physical disability is the reason for their experience of discrimination. RwDCAPRNC indicates whether the respondent thinks an aspect of their physical appearance is the reason for their experience of discrimination. RwDCSXORI indicates whether the respondent thinks their sexual orientation is the reason for their experience of discrimination. RwDCFINAN indicates whether the respondent thinks their financial status is the reason for their experience of discrimination. RwDCOTHER indicates whether the respondent thinks there are some reasons other than what has been mentioned for their experience of discrimination. A code of 1 is assigned if the respondent agreed with the statement. A code of 0 is assigned if the respondent disagreed with the statement. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not report any discrimination. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwDCORIGN, SwDCGENDR, SwDCRACE, SwDCAGE, SwDCRLGON, SwDCWEGT, SwDCDSTAT, SwDCAPRNC, SwDCSXORI, SwDCFINAN and SwDCOTHER indicate whether the respondent's current wave’s spouse agreed with statements about the reason for discrimination, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwDCORIGN, RwDCGENDR, RwDCRACE, RwDCAGE, RwDCRLGON, RwDCWEGT, RwDCDSTAT, RwDCAPRNC, RwDCSXORI, RwDCFINAN and RwDCOTHER. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwDCORIGN, RwDCGENDR, RwDCRACE, RwDCAGE, RwDCRLGON, RwDCWEGT, RwDCDSTAT, RwDCAPRNC, RwDCSXORI, RwDCFINAN and RwDCOTHER, SwDCORIGN, SwDCGENDR, SwDCRACE, SwDCAGE, SwDCRLGON, SwDCWEGT, SwDCDSTAT, SwDCAPRNC, SwDCSXORI, SwDCFINAN and SwDCOTHER employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwDCREAS counts how many different reasons for their discrimiation that the respondent chooses from a list: ancestry or national origin, gender, race, age, religion, weight, physical disability, an aspect of physical appearance, sexual orientation, financial status, and other. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .n is assigned if the respondent did not report any experience of discrimination. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwDCREAS indicates the count of reasons for discrimination for the respondent's current wave’s spouse, and its value is taken from the spouse's values to RwDCREAS. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwDCREAS, SwDCREAS employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used

when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS The list of the reasons for discrimination were added in Wave 8. Please note that religion and finanacial status were added to the list of reasons in Wave 9, so Wave 8 had a shorter list of reasons for discrimination than the rest of the waves.

How Constructed: RwUFDIS indicates whether the respondent has ever been unfairly dismissed from a job. RwUFHIRE indicates whether the respondent has ever not been hired for a job for unfair reasons. RwUFDENYP indicates whether the respondent has ever been unfairly denied a promotion. RwUFPVMOV indicates whether the respondent has even been unfairly prevented from moving into a neighborhood because the landlord or a Realtor refused to sell or rent a house or apartment. RwUFDENYB indicates whether the respondent has ever been unfairly denied a bank loan. RwUFPOLIC indicates whether the respondent has ever been unfairly stopped, searched, questioned, physically threatened, or abused by the police. RwUFDENYH indicates whether the respondent has ever been unfairly denied health care or treatment. A code of 1 is assigned if the respondent gives a positive answer to the statement. A code of 0 is assigned if the respondent disagreed with the statement. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwUFDIS, SwUFHIRE, SwUFDENYP, SwUFPVMOV, SwUFPVMOV, SwUFDENYB, SwUFPOLIC and SwUFDENYH indicate whether the respondent's current wave’s spouse agreed with the statements about unfair lifetime events, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwUFDIS, RwUFHIRE, RwUFDENYP, RwUFPVMOV, RwUFPVMOV, RwUFDENYB, RwUFPOLIC and RwUFDENYH. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwUFDIS, RwUFHIRE, RwUFDENYP, RwUFPVMOV, RwUFPVMOV, RwUFDENYB, RwUFPOLIC and RwUFDENYH, SwUFDIS, SwUFHIRE, SwUFDENYP, SwUFPVMOV, SwUFPVMOV, SwUFDENYB, SwUFPOLIC and SwUFDENYH employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwUNFAIR counts how many types of unfair events the respondent experienced in their life. It is a sum of RwUFDIS, RwUFHIRE, RwUFDENYP, RwUFPVMOV, RwUFDENYB, RwUFPOLIC, and starting in Wave 9, RwUFDENYH. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .m is assigned if all components of the respondent's summary score are missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. RwUNFAIR is calculated as long as at least one component is not missing. RwUNFAIRM counts the number of components with missing values in RwUNFAIR, which could be between no missing components (0) and six missing components (6) for Wave 8, and no missing components (0) and seven missing components (7) in Waves 9 - 11.

Section M: Stress 539

SwUNFAIR and SwUNFAIRM indicates the count of how many unfair events have ever occurred in the respondent's current wave’s spouse’s life and how many of those unfair events have missing values respectively, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwUNFAIR and RwUNFAIRM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwUNFAIR, SwUNFAIR employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Questions about unfair lifetime discrimination experiences were asked beginning in wave 8. The question "Have you ever been unfairly denied health care or treatment?" was added in Wave 9; as a result, Wave 8 had a shorter list of lifetime discrimination experiences than the rest of the waves. Questions related to unfair lifetime discrimination experiences were dropped in Wave 12.

How Constructed: RwUFTASK indicates how often the respondent is unfairly given tasks at work that no one else wants to do in the last 12 months. RwCLOSLY indicates how often the respondent is watched more closely at work than others in the last 12 months. RwJKRACE indicates how often the respondent is bothered by their supervisor or coworkers making slurs or jokes about women or racial or ethnic groups at work in the last 12 months.

Section M: Stress 545

RwWTWICE indicates how often the respondent feels they have to work twice as hard as others at work in the last 12 months. RwNTBOSS indicates how often the respondent feels that they are ignored or not taken seriously by their boss in the last 12 months. RwWHUML indicates how often the respondent has been unfairly humiliated in front of others at work in the last 12 months. RwUFTASK, RwCLOSLY, RwJKRACE, RwWTWICE, RwNTBOSS and RwWHUML are coded as follows: 1. never, 2. less than once a year, 3. a few times a year, 4. a few times a month, 5. at least once a week, and 6. almost everyday. Special missing .w is assigned if the respondent indicates he/she is not currently working. Special missing .c is assigned if the respondent is either not eligible for or did not complete the leave behind questionnaire. Special missing .e is assigned if the respondent answered the question but did not follow the skip pattern as instructed. Special missing .m is assigned if the respondent is eligible for and completed the leave behind questionnaire but their response for the question is missing. These variables are assigned plain missing (.) if the respondent did not participate in the current wave. SwUFTASK, SwCLOSLY, SwJKRACE, SwWTWICE, SwNTBOSS and SwWHUML indicate how often the respondent's current wave’s spouse agrees with the job discrimination statements for the past year, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwUFTASK, RwCLOSLY, RwJKRACE, RwWTWICE, RwNTBOSS and RwWHUML. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwUFTASK, RwCLOSLY, RwJKRACE, RwWTWICE, RwNTBOSS and RwWHUML, SwUFTASK, SwCLOSLY, SwJKRACE, SwWTWICE, SwNTBOSS and SwWHUML employ two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwDCWORK indicates the mean of the six different job discrimination questions (RwUFTASK, RwCLOSLY, RwJKRACE, RwWTWICE, RwNTBOSS and RwWHUML) and can be used as a summary score. RwDCWORK is calculated for any respondent with at least one non-missing value for its six components. RwDCWORKM counts the number of components with missing values in RwDCWORK, which could be between no missing components (0) and six missing components (6). SwDCWORK and SwDCWORKM indicate the mean summary score of six different job discrimination questions and the count of any missing components for the respondent's current wave’s spouse, and their values are taken from the spouse's values to RwDCWORK and RwDCWORKM. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwDCWORK, SwDCWORK employs two other missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS The questions related to work discrimination were added in Wave 8 and were dropped in Wave 12.

How Constructed: RwWITWILL indicates whether the respondent has a will that is written and witnessed. In AHEAD waves 1 and 2 and HRS waves 3 and onward, the respondent is asked if they currently have a will that is written and witnessed. RwWITWILL is coded as 0 if the respondent does not have a will that is written and witnessed. RwWITWILL is coded as 1 if the respondent does have a will that is written and witnessed. This question is not asked in HRS waves 1 or 2, and so RwWITWILL is assigned special missing .q in these waves. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwWITWILL is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwWITWILL indicates whether the respondent's spouse has a will that is written and witnessed, and its values are taken from RwWITWILL. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwWITWILL, SwWITWILL employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwTRUST indicates whether the respondent has a trust. In HRS wave 2, the respondent is asked if they or their husband/wife/partner has put any of their assets into a trust. In AHEAD wave 2 and HRS waves 3 and onward, the respondent is asked if they currently have a will that is written and witnessed, at which point the respondent can voluntarily answer that they have a trust in replacement of or in addition to a will. RwTRUST is coded as 0 if the respondent does not have a trust or does not mention a trust. RwTRUST is coded as 1 if the respondent does have a trust or does mention a trust. Wills and trusts are not asked about in HRS wave 1, so these variables are not available. There is no option for claiming possession of a trust in AHEAD wave 1, and so RwTRUST is assigned special missing .q in wave 2. Don't know, refused, or

other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwTRUST is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwTRUST indicates whether the respondent's spouse has a trust, and its values are taken from RwTRUST. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwTRUST, SwTRUST employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Neither wills nor trusts are asked about in HRS wave 1. Only wills are asked about in AHEAD wave 1. Only trusts are asked about in HRS wave 2. Starting in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, the respondent is asked if they currently have a will, but voluntary answers about the possession of a trust in replacement of or in addition to a will are allowed.

How Constructed: RwWILLSP, RwWILLCG, RwWILLRL, RwWILLOT, RwWILLIN, RwWILLFM, RwWILLCH, RwWILLGK, and RwWILLAR indicate whether the respondent made provisions for a person of the specified relationship in their will or trust. RwWILLSP, RwWILLCG, RwWILLRL, RwWILLOT, and RwWILLIN are only available in HRS wave 2. RwWILLSP indicates whether the respondent made provisions for their husband/wife/partner in their will or trust. RwWILLCG indicates whether the respondent made provisions for their child, child-in-law, or grandchild in their trust. RwWILLRL indicates whether the respondent made provisions for another relative in their trust. RwWILLOT indicates whether the respondent made provisions for someone else in their trust. RwWILLIN indicates whether the respondent made provisions for an institution or charity in their trust. RwWILLFM indicates whether the respondent made provisions for family members other than their husband/wife/partner in their will or trust. RwWILLCH indicates whether the respondent made provisions for a child or step-child in their will or trust. RwWILLGK indicates whether the respondent made provisions for a grandchild directly in their will or trust. RwWILLAR indicates whether the respondent made provisions for a charity or institution in their will or trust. These variables are assigned a 0 if the respondent did not report making provisions for a person of the specified relationship in their will or trust, and are assigned a 1 if the respondent did report making provisions for a person of the specified relationship in their will or trust. In HRS wave 2, the respondent is first asked if they or their spouse/partner have a trust, and if so, are given the option of selecting up to 5 recipients in a single question. RwWILLSP is coded as 0 if the spouse is not selected, and is coded as 1 if the spouse is selected. RwWILLCG is coded as 0 if child, child-in-law, or grandchild is not selected, and is coded as 1 if child, child-in-law, or grandchild is selected. RwWILLRL is coded as 0 if other relative is not selected, and is coded as 1 if other relative is selected. RwWILLOT is coded as 0 if someone else is not selected, and is coded as 1 if someone else is selected. RwWILLIN is coded as 0 if institution or charity is not selected, and is coded as 1 if institution or charity is selected. RwWILLSP, RwWILLCG, RwWILLRL, RwWILLOT, and RwWILLIN are assigned special missing .t if the respondent does not have a trust. RwWILLSP, RwWILLCG, RwWILLRL, RwWILLOT, and RwWILLIN are not available in any wave besides HRS wave 2 because the questions are asked differently. RwWILLSP, RwWILLCG, RwWILLRL, RwWILLOT, and RwWILLIN are assigned special missing .q in wave 2 if the respondent was part of AHEAD wave 1 and not asked these questions. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. In AHEAD waves 1 and 2 and HRS waves 3 and onward, the respondent is first asked if they currently have a will. If they answer positively, they are then asked whether the will or trust provides for any family members other than the spouse. RwWILLFM is coded as 0 if the answer is negative, and is coded as 1 if the answer is positive. In AHEAD wave 1, if they provide for family members other than the spouse, they are asked whether the will or trust provides for any children or step-children. Starting in AHEAD wave 2 and

HRS waves 3 and onward, if they provide for family members other than the spouse and have children, they are asked whether the will or trust provides for any children or step-children. RwWILLCH is coded as 0 if the answer is negative or the respondent did not provide for family members other than the spouse, and is coded as 1 if the answer is positive. In AHEAD waves 1 and 2 and HRS waves 3 and onward, if the respondent has a will, they are asked whether the will or trust provides for any charities. RwWILLAR is coded as 0 if the answer is negative, and is coded as 1 if the answer is positive. In AHEAD waves 1 and 2 and HRS waves 3 and onward, RwWILLFM, RwWILLCH, and RwWILLAR are assigned special missing .w if the respondent does not have a will or trust. In AHEAD wave 2 and HRS waves 3 and onward, RwWILLCH is assigned special missing .k if the respondent does not have any children and so the question is not asked. RwWILLFM, RwWILLCH, and RwWILLAR are not available in HRS wave 2 because the questions are asked differently, and so are assigned special missing .q in wave 2. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. Questions about whether the respondent provided for their grandchildren in their will have changed significantly over the waves of HRS, in particular there are differences in whether the family respondent and whether respondents without grandchildren were asked this question. In the AHEAD wave 1 and AHEAD Wave 2 CAPI in versions 1-4, if the respondent reports that they provide for family members other than the spouse and the respondent has grandchildren and are the family respondent, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. In AHEAD Wave 2 in CAPI versions 5 and greater, if the respondent reports that they provide for family members other than the spouse, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly (regardless if they have any grandchildren or if they are the family respondent). In HRS waves 3 and 4, if the respondent reports that they provide for family members other than the spouse and the respondent has grandchildren and are the family respondent, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. In HRS Wave 5, respondents provide both a count of number of total grandchildren and a number of household grandchildren. If the family respondent provides for family members other than the spouse and the respondent has grandchildren (either from the total report or the number of grandchildren in the house), they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. If the non-family respondent provides for family members other than the spouse and the respondent reports grandchildren as household members, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. In the case that the non-family respondent reports that they do not have grandchildren as household members they are not asked about whether they provided for their grandchildren in their will. There was also an issue at Wave 5 where some respondents who report that they have no grandchildren as household members and no total grandchildren were still asked whether they provided for grandchildren in their will. In HRS waves 6-8, if the respondent reports that they provide for family members other than the spouse and the respondent has grandchildren and are the family respondent, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. Starting in HRS wave 9 for family respondents, if the family respondent reports that they provide for family members other than the spouse and the respondent has grandchildren and are the family respondent, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. Starting in HRS wave 9 for non-family respondents, non-family respondents are only asked whether they have made provisions for their grandchild if they reported in previous waves that they have grandchildren. In the Wave 9 CAPI versions 1 and 2, there was an error which caused all non-family respondents to not be asked whether they made provisions for their grandchildren. RwWILLGK is coded as 0 if the answer is negative, the respondent replies that grandchildren receive something only through their parents, or the respondent did not provide for family members other than the spouse, and is coded as 1 if the grandchildren are provided for directly. RwWILLGK is assigned special missing .f in waves 2-9 if the respondent is not the family respondent and is not asked whether they made provisions for their grandchildren in their will or trust. RwWILLGK is assigned special missing .h in wave 9 and forward if the respondent is not the family respondent and reported not having grandchildren at the last wave and is not asked whether they made provisions for their grandchildren in their will. RwWILLGK is assigned special missing .w if the respondent does not have a will or trust. RwWILLGK is assigned special missing .g if the respondent does not have any grandchildren, this is true regardless of whether the respondent was asked whether they made provisions for their grandchildren in their will. RwWILLGK is not available in HRS wave 2 because the question is asked differently, so is assigned special missing .q in wave 2. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwWILLGK is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwWILLSP, SwWILLCG, SwWILLRL, SwWILLOT, SwWILLIN, SwWILLFM, SwWILLCH, SwWILLGK, and SwWILLAR indicate whether the respondent's spouse made provisions for a person of the specified relationship in their will

or trust, and their values are taken from RwWILLSP, RwWILLCG, RwWILLRL, RwWILLOT, RwWILLIN, RwWILLFM, RwWILLCH, RwWILLGK, and RwWILLAR. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwWILLSP, RwWILLCG, RwWILLRL, RwWILLOT, RwWILLIN, RwWILLFM, RwWILLCH, RwWILLGK, and RwWILLAR, SwWILLSP, SwWILLCG, SwWILLRL, SwWILLOT, SwWILLIN, SwWILLFM, SwWILLCH, SwWILLGK, and SwWILLAR employ the use of two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS Neither wills nor trusts are asked about in HRS wave 1. Only wills are asked about in AHEAD wave 1. Only trusts are asked about in HRS wave 2. Starting in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, the respondent is asked if they currently have a will, but voluntary answers about the possession of a trust in replacement of or in addition to a will are allowed. In HRS wave 2, the respondent selects the potential recipients of their trust in a single question, and are allowed to select all that apply. In addition, the categories of relationship are different: spouse, child/child-in-law/grandchild, other relative, someone else, or institution or charity. In AHEAD waves 1 and 2 and HRS waves 3 and onward, the respondent is asked about the potential recipients of their will or trust in separate questions. The categories of relationship for these waves are: family other than spouse/partner, children, grandchildren directly, or charity. In AHEAD wave 1, respondents who report having a will or trust and making provisions for family other than spouse/partner, are asked about providing for children. Starting in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, respondents who have no children are not asked this question even if they meet the previous criteria. As the result of these differences, HRS wave 2 has separate variables for all relationships. Questions about whether the respondent provided for their grandchildren in their will have changed significantly over the waves of HRS, in particular there are differences in whether the family respondent and whether respondents without grandchildren were asked this question. In the AHEAD wave 1 and AHEAD Wave 2 CAPI in versions 1-4, if the respondent reports that they provide for family members other than the spouse and the respondent has grandchildren and are the family respondent, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. In AHEAD Wave 2 in CAPI versions 5 and greater, if the respondent reports that they provide for family members other than the spouse, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly (regardless if they have any grandchildren or if they are the family respondent). In HRS waves 3 and 4, if the respondent reports that they provide for family members other than the spouse and the respondent has grandchildren and are the family respondent, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. In HRS Wave 5, respondents provide both a count of number of total grandchildren and a number of household grandchildren. If the family respondent provides for family members other than the spouse and the respondent has grandchildren (either from the total report or the number of grandchildren in the house), they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. If the non-family respondent provides for family members other than the spouse and the respondent reports grandchildren as household members, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. In the case that the non-family respondent reports that they do not have grandchildren as household members they are not asked about whether they provided for their grandchildren in their will. There was also an issue at Wave 5 where some respondents who report that they have no grandchildren as household members and no total grandchildren were still asked whether they provided for grandchildren in their will. In HRS waves 6-8, if the respondent reports that they provide for family members other than the spouse and the respondent has grandchildren and are the family respondent, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. Starting in HRS wave 9 for family respondents, if the family respondent reports that they provide for family members other than the spouse and the respondent has grandchildren and are the family respondent, they are asked if the will or trust provides for any grandchild directly. Starting in HRS wave 9 for non-family respondents, non-family respondents are only asked whether they have made provisions for their grandchild if they reported in previous waves that they have grandchildren. In the Wave 9 CAPI versions 1 and 2, there was an error where no non-family respondents were asked whether they had made provisions for their grandchildren.

How Constructed: RwLVWILL indicates whether the respondent has written instructions about the type of medical treatment or care he/she would want to receive if he/she could not make those decisions him/herself, sometimes called a living will. This question is asked to a small subsample of people in an experimental module in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3. This question is asked starting in wave 11 to all respondents aged 65 and older. In wave 12, those who previously reported not having a living will are asked the same question, but those who previously reported having a living will are asked to confirm this arrangement. RwLVWILL is coded as 0 if the respondent does not have a living will. RwLVWILL is coded as 1 if the respondent does have a living will. In wave 12, RwLVWILL is also coded as 0 if the respondent disputes their previous wave record and reports not having a living will, and is also coded as 1 if the respondent confirms having a living will but reports that the arrangement has changed or if the respondent disputes their previous wave record but now has a living will. If the respondent disputes having a living will in the previous wave record, then RwLVWILL in the previous waves is set to 0. If the respondent was not selected for the subsample in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, then RwLVWILL is assigned special missing .b in wave 3. Starting in wave 11, if the respondent is under age 65, then RwLVWILL is assigned special missing .a. RwLVWILL is not available in HRS waves 1, 2, and 4 through 10 or in AHEAD wave 1 because this question is not asked. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwLVWILL is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave.

Section O: End of Life Planning 567

SwLVWILL indicates whether the respondent's spouse has a living will, and its values are taken from RwLVWILL. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwLVWILL, SwLVWILL employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. Starting in wave 12, respondents who previously reported having a living will are asked to confirm their arrangement. RwFLVWILL is a flag indicating whether the respondent has changed or disputes the arrangement reported in a previous wave. RwFLVWILL is coded as 1 if the respondent confirms having a living will but reports that the arrangement has changed. RwFLVWILL is coded as 2 if the respondent disputes the previous wave record but reports now having a living will. RwFLVWILL is coded as 3 if the respondent disputes the previous wave record and does not have a living will. RwFLVWILL is coded as 0 otherwise. RwFLVWILL is not available in any waves prior to wave 12 because there is no opportunity to dispute their arrangement prior to this wave. RwFLVWILL is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwFLVWILL is a flag indicating whether the respondent's spouse has changed or disputes the arrangement reported in a previous wave, and its values are taken from RwFLVWILL. SwFLVWILL employs two special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwLMTCARE indicates whether the respondent's living will expresses a desire to limit the care or medical treatment that they receive in certain situations. If the respondent reports having a living will, or starting in wave 12, reports that their arrangement has changed or that they dispute the previous wave record but now have a living will, the respondent is asked whether the instructions express a desire to limit care. RwLMTCARE is coded as 0 if the respondent's living will does not express a desire to limit care. RwLMTCARE is coded as 1 if the respondent's living will does express a desire to limit care. RwLMTCARE is assigned special missing .n if the respondent reports not having any living will. If the respondent disputes having a living will in the previous wave record, then RwLMTCARE in the previous waves is set to .n. RwLMTCARE is assigned special missing .a if the respondent is not asked about having a living will because they are under age 65. This question is only asked starting in wave 11, and so RwLMTCARE is only available starting in wave 11. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwLMTCARE is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwLMTCARE indicates whether the respondent's spouse's living will expresses a desire to limit the care or medical treatment that they receive in certain situations, and its values are taken from RwLMTCARE. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwLMTCARE, SwLMTCARE employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, only a small subsample of respondents are asked whether they have written instructions about the type of medical treatment they would want to receive if they were unconscious or somehow unable to communicate. In wave 11, all respondents aged 65 and older are asked whether they have provided written instructions about the care or medical treatment that they would want to receive if they cannot make those decisions themselves, which is sometimes called a "living will". In wave 12, the same question is asked if the respondent did not have such instructions in the previous wave. In wave 12, if the respondent has previously reported having such instructions, they are asked if this arrangement is still in place, at which point they can confirm whether the arrangement is the same or not, confirm that instructions are in place but the arrangement has changed, or dispute the previous wave record and they either now have or now do not have the arrangement. The ability to dispute a previous report necessitates the introduction of a flag variable in wave 12. In wave 11, the respondent is asked whether their instructions express a desire to limit care if the respondent reports having written instructions about care. In wave 12, the respondent is asked this question as long as they report currently having written instructions about care, even if they dispute or have changed their previous report.

How Constructed: RwDPOAFH indicates whether the respondent has a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, someone who can legally make decisions about his/her care or medical treatment if he/she cannot make those decisions himself/herself. This question is asked to a small subsample of people in an experimental module in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3. This question is asked starting in wave 11 to all respondents aged 65 and greater. In wave 12, those who previously reported not having a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care are asked the same question, but those who previously reported having a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care are asked to confirm this arrangement. RwDPOAFH is coded as 0 if the respondent has no Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. RwDPOAFH is coded as 1 if the respondent does have a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. In wave 12, RwDPOAFH is also coded as 0 if the respondent disputes the previous wave record and reports not having the arrangement, and is also coded as 1 if the respondent reports having the arrangement but it has changed or if the respondent disputes the previous wave record and now has the arrangement. If the respondent disputes having a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care in the previous wave record, then RwDPOAFH in the previous waves is set to 0. If the respondent was not selected

for the subsample in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, then RwDPOAFH is assigned special missing .b in wave 3. Starting in wave 11, if the respondent is under age 65, then RwDPOAFH is assigned special missing .a. RwDPOAFH is not available in HRS waves 1, 2, or 4 through 10 or in AHEAD wave 1 because this question is not asked. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwDPOAFH is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwDPOAFH indicates whether the respondent's spouse has a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, and its values are taken from RwDPOAFH. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwDPOAFH, SwDPOAFH employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. Starting in wave 12, respondents who previously reported having a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care are asked to confirm their arrangement. RwFDPOAFH is a flag indicating whether the respondent has changed or disputes the arrangement reported in a previous wave. RwFDPOAFH is coded as 1 if the respondent confirms having instructions but reports that the arrangement has changed. RwFDPOAFH is coded as 2 if the respondent disputes the previous wave record but reports now having the arrangement. RwFDPOAFH is coded as 3 if the respondent disputes the previous wave record and does not have the arrangement. RwFDPOAFH is coded as 0 otherwise. RwFDPOAFH is not available in any waves prior to wave 12 because there is no opportunity to dispute their arrangement prior to this wave. RwFDPOAFH is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwFDPOAFH is a flag indicating whether the respondent's spouse has changed or disputes the arrangement reported in a previous wave, and its values are taken from RwFDPOAFH. SwFDPOAFH employs two special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwDPOASP, RwDPOACH, RwDPOARL, RwDPOAFR, RwDPOADR, RwDPOARA, RwDPOALP, RwDPOASW, and RwDPOAOT indicate whether a person with the specified relationship was mentioned being a Durable Power of Attorney for the respondent. The respondent selects the relationship of who will serve as the Durable Power of Attorney from a drop-down list, and can select multiple people starting in wave 11. RwDPOASP indicates if the respondent's spouse or partner will be a Durable Power of Attorney. RwDPOACH indicates if the respondent's child, child-in-law, or grandchild will be a Durable Power of Attorney. RwDPOARL indicates if another relative of the respondent will be a Durable Power of Attorney. RwDPOAFR indicates if the respondent's friend will be a Durable Power of Attorney. RwDPOADR indicates if the respondent's physician or healthcare professional will be a Durable Power of Attorney. RwDPOARA indicates if the respondent's minister, rabbi, priest, or religious advisor will be a Durable Power of Attorney. RwDPOALP indicates if the respondent's attorney will be a Durable Power of Attorney. RwDPOASW indicates if a social worker will be the respondent's Durable Power of Attorney. RwDPOAOT indicates if some other person will be the respondent's Durable Power of Attorney. RwDPOASP, RwDPOACH, RwDPOARL, RwDPOAFR, RwDPOADR, RwDPOARA, RwDPOALP, RwDPOASW, and RwDPOAOT are coded as 0 if the relationship is not mentioned as being a Durable Power of Attorney, and are coded as 1 if the relationship is mentioned as being a Durable Power of Attorney. These variables are assigned special missing .n if the deceased respondent did not have a Durable Power of Attorney. If the respondent disputes having a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care in the previous wave record in wave 12, then these variables in the previous waves are set to .n. If the respondent was not selected for the subsample in AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, then these variables are assigned special missing .b in wave 3. Starting in wave 11, if the respondent is under age 65, then these variables are assigned special missing .a. These variables are not available in HRS waves 1, 2, or 4 through 10 or in AHEAD wave 1 because this question is not asked. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwDPOASP, SwDPOACH, SwDPOARL, SwDPOAFR, SwDPOADR, SwDPOARA, SwDPOALP, SwDPOASW, and SwDPOAOT indicate whether a person with the specified relationship was mentioned being a Durable Power of Attorney for the respondent's spouse, and their values are taken from the respondent variables. In addition to the special missing codes used in the respondent variables, the spouse variables employ two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, only a small subsample of respondents are asked whether they have a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. In wave 11, all respondents aged 65 and older are asked whether they have a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. In wave 12, the same question is asked if the respondent did not have a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care in the previous wave. In wave 12, if the respondent has previously reported having a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, they are asked if this arrangement is still in place, at which point they can confirm whether the arrangement is the same or not, confirm that instructions are in place but the arrangement has changed, or dispute the previous wave record and they either now have or now do not have the arrangement. The ability to dispute a previous report necessitates the introduction of a flag variable in wave 12. In wave 11, the respondent is asked who has the authority if they report having a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. In wave 12, the respondent is asked this question as long as they report currently having a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, even if they dispute or have changed their previous report. In AHEAD wave 2 and HRS wave 3, the respondent can only select one person with the authority to make decisions. In wave 11, up to 4 relationships are selected, and in wave 12, up to 5 relationships are selected. These questions are not asked at all in AHEAD wave 1 or HRS waves 1, 2, or 4 through 10.

How Constructed: RwNLFINS indicates the total number of life insurance policies the respondent reports having. In HRS waves 1 and 2 and AHEAD waves 1 and 2, RwNLFINS takes the sum of the number of term and whole life insurance policies the respondent reports having. In HRS waves 3 and onward, RwNLFINS takes the value of the total number of life insurance policies the respondent reports having. RwNLFINS can take the values of 0 to 5, and if the respondent reports having more than 5 policies, then RwNLFINS takes the value of 5. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwNLFINS is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwNLFINS indicates the total number of life insurance policies the respondent's spouse reports having, and its values are taken from RwNLFINS. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwNLFINS, SwNLFINS employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwLIFEINV indicates the total value of the respondent's life insurance policies. In HRS waves 1 and 2 and AHEAD waves 1 and 2, RwLIFEINV takes the sum of the values of the term and whole life insurance policies the respondent reports having. In HRS waves 3 and onward, RwLIFEINV takes the value of the life insurance policies altogether. If the respondent reports having no life insurance policies, then RwLIFEINV takes a value of 0. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwLIFEINV is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwLIFEINV indicates the total value of the respondent's spouse's life insurance policies, and its values are taken from RwLIFEINV. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwLIFEINV, SwLIFEINV employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Section O: End of Life Planning 582

In HRS waves 1 and 2 and AHEAD waves 1 and 2, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked whether any are group or individual term insurance policies, and if so, the number and the total value of the term insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked whether they have any life insurance policies that build up a cash value or that you can borrow on, which are sometimes called "whole life" or "straight life", and if so, the number and the total value of the whole life insurance policies. In HRS wave 1, the respondent can report up to 25 term or whole life policies. In AHEAD wave 1, the respondent can report 1, 2, 3, or 4 or more term or whole life policies. In HRS wave 2, the respondent can report up to 20 term or whole life policies. In AHEAD wave 2, the respondent can report a continuous number of 1 to 9, or 10 or more term or whole life policies. In waves 3 and 4, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked for the total number of different life insurance policies. In wave 3, if the respondent only has one life insurance policy, they are asked the face value of this policy, and if the respondent reports having 2 or more life insurance policies, then they are asked the total face value of these policies. In wave 4, the respondent is asked the total face value of the policies, whether one or more, in a single question. In both waves, the respondent can report 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 or more total policies. In both waves, the respondent is not asked about term versus whole life policies. In HRS wave 3 there are over 1,000 cases where the respondent reported having one life insurance policy but appear to not have been asked what was the value of this policy, for an unknown reason. These cases are assigned special missing .m in RwLIFEINV. Starting in wave 5, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked for the total number of different life insurance policies and for the total value of those policies. If they report having life insurance policies, then are then asked if any of the policies are ones that build up a cash value that you can borrow against, or that you would receive if the policy were to be cancelled, which are sometimes called "whole life" or "straight life policies", and if so, the number and the total value of the whole life insurance policies. The respondent can report 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 or more total policies or whole life policies. In these waves, the respondent is not asked specifically about term policies.

How Constructed: RwLFINSSP, RwLFINSCH, RwLFINSCG, RwLFINSGK, RwLFINSRL, RwLFINSOR, and RwLFINSOT indicate whether someone with the specified relationship is named a beneficiary of the respondent's life insurance, including term and whole life policies. RwLFINSOR is only available in wave 1 and HRS wave 3, and RwLFINSCG is only available in the AHEAD questionnaires in waves 2 and 3. The respondent is able to select multiple relationships at each wave. RwLFINSSP indicates whether the respondent's spouse/partner is named as a beneficiary of their life insurance. RwLFINSCH indicates whether the respondent's child, all children, step/partner child, child-in-law, son, stepson, son-in-law, daughter, stepdaughter, daughter-in-law, unlisted child or child-in-law, unknown/ambiguous child, ambiguous child-in-law relationship, former step-child, former child-in-law, or deceased child are named as a beneficiary of their life insurance. RwLFINSCG indicates whether the respondent's child/child-in-law/grandchild (which cannot be distinguished from each other) are named as a beneficiary of their life insurance. RwLFINSGK indicates whether the respondent's grandchild, all grandchildren, or spouse/partner of grandchild are named as a beneficiary of their life insurance. RwLFINSRL indicates whether other relatives, sibling, sibling of spouse, parent, parent-in-law, father, father-in-law, mother, mother-in-law, brother, brother-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, or unknown in-law are named as a beneficiary of their life insurance. RwLFINSOR indicates whether a relative besides a child or grandchild or someone else non-related to the respondent is named as a beneficiary of their life insurance. RwLFINSOT indicates whether someone else, other non-relatives, other, professional, other individual, organization, employee of institution, paid helper, professional, specified professional, late spouse/partner, ex-spouse/partner, or person of unknown relationship are named as a beneficiary of their life insurance. RwLFINSSP, RwLFINSCH, RwLFINSCG, RwLFINSGK, RwLFINSRL, RwLFINSOR, and RwLFINSOT are coded as 0 if the appropriate relationship is not mentioned as a beneficiary of their life insurance, and coded as 1 if the appropriate relationship is mentioned as being a beneficiary of their life insurance. In HRS wave 1 and AHEAD waves 1 and 2, the variables indicate whether a person of the specified relationship is a beneficiary of a term or whole life policy, which are asked about separately. In HRS waves 3 and onward, the variables indicate whether a person of the specified relationship is a beneficiary of any life insurance policy. In HRS wave 1, the respondent can select from spouse, children, and others, as such, RwLFINSSP, RwLFINSCH, and RwLFINSOR are used this wave and RwLFINSGK, RwLFINSRL, RwLFINSOT, and RwLFINSCG are not available in this wave. In this wave, RwLFINSOR includes other relatives or non-relatives. In AHEAD wave 1, the respondent can select from spouse/partner, child/child-in-law/grandchild, other relative, and someone else, as such, RwLFINSSP, RwLFINSCG, RwLFINSRL, and RwLFINSOT are used this wave and RwLFINSCH, RwLFINSGK, and RwLFINSOR are not available in this wave. In this wave, RwLFINSOT only

includes other non-relatives. Because HRS wave 2 does not ask about beneficiaries, respondents in wave 2 are assigned special missing .q for RwLFINSSP, RwLFINSCG, RwLFINSRL, and RwLFINSOT. In AHEAD wave 2, the respondent can select from spouse/partner, child/child-in-law/grandchild, other relative, someone else, and other, as such RwLFINSSP, RwLFINSCG, RwLFINSRL, and RwLFINSOT are used this wave and RwLFINSCH, RwLFINSGK, and RwLFINSOR are not available in this wave. In HRS wave 3, the respondent can select from spouse/partner, all children, grandchild, other, or name a person assigned an other person number (OPN) from the Preload Household Member Child (PRMC) file, as such, RwLFINSSP, RwLFINSCH, RwLFINSGK, RwLFINSRL, and RwLFINSOR are used and RwLFINSCG and RwLFINSOT are not available. Because of the different categorizations between these two waves, RwLFINSCH, RwLFINSGK, and RwLFINSOT are assigned special missing .q in wave 3 if the respondent is in HRS wave 3, and RwLFINSCG and RwLFINSOR are assigned special missing .q in wave 3 if the respondent is in AHEAD wave 2. Please note the use of RwLFINSOT for the AHEAD questionnaire in wave 3 which includes only non-relatives, whereas RwLFINSOR is used for the HRS questionnaire in wave 3 which can include relative or non-relatives. Starting in wave 4, the respondent can select from a list or choose any person with an OPN from the PRMC file. In these waves, RwLFINSSP, RwLFINSCH, RwLFINSGK, RwLFINSRL, and RwLFINSOT are available, and RwLFINSCG and RwLFINSOR are no longer available. In these waves, RwLFINSOT includes other non-relatives. In all waves, RwLFINSSP, RwLFINSCH, RwLFINSGK, RwLFINSRL, RwLFINSOR, RwLFINSOT, and RwLFINSCG are assigned special missing .n if the respondent has no life insurance policies. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwLFINSSP, SwLFINSCH, SwLFINSCG, SwLFINSGK, SwLFINSRL, SwLFINSOR, and SwLFINSOT indicate whether someone with the specified relationship is named a beneficiary of the respondent's spouse's life insurance, including term and whole life policies, and their values are taken from RwLFINSSP, RwLFINSCH, RwLFINSCG, RwLFINSGK, RwLFINSRL, RwLFINSOR, and RwLFINSOT. In addition to the special missing codes used in the respondent variables, the spouse variables employ two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In HRS waves 1 and AHEAD waves 1 and 2, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked whether any are group or individual term insurance policies, and if so, the beneficiaries of the term insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked whether they have any life insurance policies that build up a cash value or that you can borrow on, which are sometimes called "whole life" or "straight life", and if so, the beneficiaries of the whole life insurance policies. In HRS wave 1, the respondent can select all that apply from a list that includes the respondent's spouse, children, and others for term and whole life policies. In AHEAD wave 1, the respondent can select all that apply from a list that includes the respondent's spouse/partner, child/child-in-law/grandchild, other relative, and someone else for term and whole life policies. In AHEAD wave 2, the respondent can select all that apply from a list that includes the respondent's spouse/partner, child/child-in-law/grandchild, other relative, someone else, and other for term and whole life policies. In HRS wave 2, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies, and separately about having term insurance policies and whole life insurance policies. However, the respondent is not asked who the beneficiary of these policies would be. In waves 3 and 4, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked for the beneficiaries of the life insurance policies. In wave 3, the respondent can select all that apply from a list that includes the respondent's spouse/partner, all children, grandchild, other, or name any person that was assigned an other person number (OPN) in the Preload Household Member Child (PRMC) file. In wave 4, the respondent can select all that apply from a list that includes the respondent's spouse/partner, all children, other (including churches, charitable organizations, ex-spouses and other persons), or name any person that was assigned an OPN in the PRMC file. In both waves, the respondent is not asked about term versus whole life policies.

Starting in wave 5, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked for the beneficiaries of the life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked if any of the policies are ones that build up a cash value that you can borrow against, or that you would receive if the policy were to be cancelled, which are sometimes called "whole life" or "straight life policies", and if so, the beneficiaries of the whole life insurance policies. In waves 5 and 6, the respondent can select all that apply from the same selections as in wave 4. In wave 7, the respondent can select all that apply from a list that includes the respondent's spouse/partner, deceased child, all children, all grandchildren, siblings, other person (i.e. friend), other (including churches, charitable organizations, ex-spouses and other persons), or name any person that was assigned an OPN in the PRMC file. Starting in wave 8, the respondent can select all that apply from the same selections as in wave 7, without the choice of other person (i.e. friend). In wave 5 and onward, the respondent is not asked specifically about term policies. In waves 3 to 5, the possible relationships in the PRMC file include: child, step/partner child, grandkid, professional, child-in-law, sibling, sibling of spouse, parent or parent-in-law, other relative, other. Starting in wave 6, the possible relationships in the PRMC file include: spouse/partner, son, stepson, spouse/partner of daughter, daughter, stepdaughter, spouse/partner of son, grandchild, father, father of spouse/partner, mother, mother of spouse/partner, R's parents, brother, brother of spouse/partner, sister, sister of spouse/partner, other relative, other individual, organization, employee of 'institution', paid helper, professional, professional (specify), late spouse/partner, ex-spouse/partner, unlisted child or child-in-law, former step-child, former child-in-law, relationship unknown, spouse/partner of grandchild, unknown child, unknown-in-law. In wave 8, spouse was no longer present, unknown child was replaced with ambiguous child relationship, unknown-in-law was replaced with ambiguous child-in-law relationship, and spouse/partner relationships were replaced as relationship "in-law" (i.e. spouse/partner of daughter was replaced with son-in-law). Starting in wave 9, both spouse/partner relationships and relationships "in-law" were specified (i.e. spouse/partner of daughter (son-in-law)). Spouse was not an option in any wave after wave 8 except for wave 10 when it was an option.

How Constructed: RwWLIFEIN indicates whether the respondent has any whole life insurance policies. RwWLIFEIN is coded as 0 if the respondent has no whole life insurance policies. RwWLIFEIN is coded as 1 if the respondent does have a whole life insurance policy. Whether the respondent has any whole life insurance policies is not asked in HRS waves 3 and 4, so RwWLIFEIN is assigned special missing .q in wave 3 and is not available in wave 4.

SwWLIFEIN indicates whether the respondent's spouse has any whole life insurance policies, and its values are taken from RwWLIFEIN. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwWLIFEIN, SwWLIFEIN employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwNWLFINS indicates the number of whole life insurance policies the respondent reports having. RwNWLFINS can take the values of 0 to 5, and if the respondent reports having more than 5 policies, then RwNWLFINS takes the value of 5. RwNWLFINS is available in AHEAD waves 1 and 2 and HRS waves 1, 2, and 5 and onward. The number of whole life policies is not inquired about in HRS waves 3 and 4, so in wave 3, RwNWLFINS is assigned special missing .q if the respondent was part of HRS wave 3 and RwNWLFINS is not available in wave 4. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwNWLFINS is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwNWLFINS indicates the number of whole life insurance policies the respondent's spouse reports having, and its values are taken from RwNWLFINS. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwNWLFINS, SwNWLFINS employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In HRS waves 1 and 2 and AHEAD waves 1 and 2, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked whether they have any life insurance policies that build up a cash value or that you can borrow on, which are sometimes called "whole life" or "straight life", and if so, the number of the whole life insurance policies. In HRS wave 1, the respondent can report up to 25 whole life policies. In AHEAD wave 1, the respondent can report up to 7 whole life policies. In HRS wave 2, the respondent can report up to 20 whole life policies. In AHEAD wave 2, the respondent can report a continuous number of 1 to 9, or 10 or more whole life policies. In waves 3 and 4, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked for the total number of different life insurance policies. In both waves, the respondent is not asked about term versus whole life policies. Starting in wave 5, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked if any of the policies are ones that build up a cash value that you can borrow against, or that you would receive if the policy were to be cancelled, which are sometimes called "whole life" or "straight life policies", and if so, the number of the whole life insurance policies. The respondent can report 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 or more whole life policies.

RwWLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCH, RwWLFINSCG, RwWLFINSGK, RwWLFINSRL, RwWLFINSOR, and RwWLFINSOT indicate whether someone with the specified relationship is named a beneficiary of the respondent's whole life insurance policies. RwWLFINSOR is only available in wave 1, and RwWLFINSCG is only available for the AHEAD questionnaires in waves 2 and 3. The respondent is able to select multiple relationships at each wave. RwWLFINSSP indicates whether the respondent's spouse/partner is named as a beneficiary of their whole life insurance. RwWLFINSCH indicates whether the respondent's child, all children, step/partner child, child-in-law, son, stepson, son-in-law, daughter, stepdaughter, daughter-in-law, unlisted child or child-in-law, unknown/ambiguous child, ambiguous child-in-law relationship, former step-child, former child-in-law, or deceased child are named as a beneficiary of their whole life insurance. RwWLFINSCG indicates whether the respondent's child/child-in-law/grandchild (which cannot be distinguished from each other) are named as a beneficiary of their whole life insurance. RwWLFINSGK indicates whether the respondent's grandchild, all grandchildren, or spouse/partner of grandchild are named as a beneficiary of their whole life insurance. RwWLFINSRL indicates whether other relatives, sibling, sibling of spouse, parent, parent-in-law, father, father-in-law, mother, mother-in-law, brother, brother-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, or unknown in-law are named as a beneficiary of their whole life insurance. RwWLFINSOR indicates whether a relative besides a child or someone else is named as a beneficiary of their whole life insurance. RwWLFINSOT indicates whether someone else, other non-relatives, other, professional, other individual, organization, employee of institution, paid helper, professional, specified professional, late spouse/partner, ex-spouse/partner, or person of unknown relationship are named as a beneficiary of their whole life insurance. RwWLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCH, RwWLFINSCG, RwWLFINSGK, RwWLFINSRL, RwWLFINSOR, and RwWLFINSOT are coded as 0 if the appropriate relationship is not mentioned as a beneficiary of their whole life insurance, and coded as 1 if the appropriate relationship is mentioned as being a beneficiary of their whole life insurance. In HRS wave 1, the respondent can select from spouse, children, and others, as such, RwWLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCH, and RwWLFINSOR are used this wave and RwWLFINSGK, RwWLFINSRL, RwWLFINSCG, and RwWLFINSOT are not available in this wave. In this wave, RwWLFINSOR can be any relative besides a child or someone unrelated to the respondent. In AHEAD wave 1, the respondent can select from spouse/partner, child/child-in-law/grandchild, other relative, and someone else, as such, RwWLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCG, RwWLFINSRL, and RwWLFINSOT are used this wave and RwWLFINSCH and RwWLFINSGK are not available in this wave. In this wave, RwWLFINSOT includes other non-relatives. Because HRS wave 2 does not ask about beneficiaries, respondents in wave 2 are assigned special missing .q for RwWLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCG, RwWLFINSRL, and RwWLFINSOT. In AHEAD wave 2, the respondent can select from spouse/partner, child/child-in-law/grandchild, other relative, someone else, and other, as such RwWLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCG, RwWLFINSRL, and RwWLFINSOT are used this wave and RwWLFINSCH, RwWLFINSGK, and RwWLFINSOR are not available in this wave. In HRS waves 3 and 4, the respondent is not asked about whole life insurance policies or the beneficiaries, as such in wave 3, RwWLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCG, RwWLFINSRL, and RwWLFINSOT are assigned special missing .q if the respondent was in HRS wave 3. None of these variables are available in wave 4. In wave 3, RwWLFINSOT only includes other non-relatives. Starting in wave 5, the respondent can select from a list or choose any person with an OPN from the PRMC file. In these waves, RwLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCH, RwWLFINSGK, RwWLFINSRL, and RwWLFINSOT are available, and RwWLFINSCG and RwWLFINSOR are no longer available. In these waves, RwWLFINSOT only includes other non-relatives. In Wave 5 (CAPI versions 2-4) there was an error which only asked respondents who the beneficiaries of their whole life insurance policy were if they had given a missing value to a question of how much in total they paid in premiums for all whole life insurance policies. In these cases RwWLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCH, RwWLFINSGK, RwWLFINSRL, and RwWLFINSOT are assigned special missing .e. In all waves, RwWLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCH, RwWLFINSGK, RwWLFINSRL, RwWLFINSOR, RwWLFINSOT, and RwWLFINSCG are assigned special missing .n if the respondent has no whole life insurance policies. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. These variables are set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwWLFINSSP, SwWLFINSCH, SwWLFINSCG, SwWLFINSGK, SwWLFINSRL, SwWLFINSOR, and SwWLFINSOT indicate whether someone with the specified relationship is named a beneficiary of the respondent's spouse's whole life insurance policies, and their values are taken from RwWLFINSSP, RwWLFINSCH, RwWLFINSCG, RwWLFINSGK, RwWLFINSRL, RwWLFINSOR, and RwWLFINSOT. In addition to the special missing codes used in the respondent variables, the spouse variables employ two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing

value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS In HRS waves 1 and AHEAD waves 1 and 2, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked whether they have any life insurance policies that build up a cash value or that you can borrow on, which are sometimes called "whole life" or "straight life", and if so, the beneficiaries of the whole life insurance policies. In HRS wave 1, the respondent can select all that apply from a drop-down list that includes the respondent's spouse, children, and others for whole life policies. In AHEAD wave 1, the respondent can select all that apply from a drop-down list that includes the respondent's spouse/partner, child/child-in-law/grandchild, other relative, and someone else for whole life policies. In AHEAD wave 2, the respondent can select all that apply from a drop-down list that includes the respondent's spouse/partner, child/child-in-law/grandchild, other relative, someone else, and other for whole life policies. In HRS wave 2, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies, and separately about having term insurance policies and whole life insurance policies. However, the respondent is not asked who the beneficiary of these policies would be. In waves 3 and 4, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked for the beneficiaries of the life insurance policies. In both waves, the respondent is not asked about term versus whole life policies. Starting in wave 5, the respondent is first asked whether they have any life insurance policies. If they report having life insurance policies, they are then asked if any of the policies are ones that build up a cash value that you can borrow against, or that you would receive if the policy were to be cancelled, which are sometimes called "whole life" or "straight life policies", and if so, the beneficiaries of the whole life insurance policies. In waves 5 and 6, the respondent can select all that apply from a drop-down list that includes the respondent's spouse/partner, all children, other (including churches, charitable organizations, ex-spouses and other persons), or name any person that was assigned an OPN in the PRMC file. In wave 7, the respondent can select all that apply from a drop-down list that includes the respondent's spouse/partner, deceased child, all children, all grandchildren, siblings, other person (i.e. friend), other (including churches, charitable organizations, ex-spouses and other persons), or name any person that was assigned an OPN in the PRMC file. Starting in wave 8, the respondent can select all that apply from the same selections as in wave 7, without the choice of other person (i.e. friend). In wave 5 and onward, the respondent is not asked specifically about term policies. In Wave 5 (CAPI versions 2-4) there was an error which only asked respondents who the beneficiaries of their whole life insurance policy were if they had given a missing value to a question of how much in total they paid in premiums for all whole life insurance policies. In wave 5, the possible relationships in the PRMC file include: child, step/partner child, grandkid, professional, child-in-law, sibling, sibling of spouse, parent or parent-in-law, other relative, other. Starting in wave 6, the possible relationships in the PRMC file include: spouse/partner, son, stepson, spouse/partner of daughter, daughter, stepdaughter, spouse/partner of son, grandchild, father, father of spouse/partner, mother, mother of spouse/partner, R's parents, brother, brother of spouse/partner, sister, sister of spouse/partner, other relative, other individual, organization, employee of 'institution', paid helper, professional, professional (specify), late spouse/partner, ex-spouse/partner, unlisted child or child-in-law, former step-child, former child-in-law, relationship unknown, spouse/partner of grandchild, unknown child, unknown-in-law. In wave 8, spouse was no longer present, unknown child was replaced with ambiguous child relationship, unknown-in-law was replaced with ambiguous child-in-law relationship, and spouse/partner relationships were replaced as relationship "in-law" (i.e. spouse/partner of daughter was replaced with son-in-law). Starting in wave 9, both spouse/partner relationships and relationships "in-law" were specified (i.e. spouse/partner of daughter (son-in-law)). Spouse was not an option in any wave after wave 8 except for wave 10 when it was an option.

How Constructed: RwLIFEINN indicates whether the respondent obtained new life insurance since the previous wave or in the last 2 years. RwLIFEINN is coded as 0 if the respondent did not obtain new life insurance since the previous wave or had no life insurance in the current wave. RwLIFEINN is coded as 1 if the respondent did obtain new life insurance since the previous wave. This question is asked starting in HRS wave 3. In wave 3, if the respondent was part of the AHEAD wave 2 sample, then RwLIFEINN is assigned special missing .q. This question is not asked in HRS wave 4 if the respondent had not been previously interviewed, in which case RwLIFEINN is assigned special missing .i. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwLIFEINN is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwLIFEINN indicates whether the respondent's spouse obtained new life insurance since the previous wave or in the last 2 years, and its values are taken from RwLIFEINN. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwLIFEINN, SwLIFEINN employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed. RwLIFEINL indicates whether the respondent had any life insurance lapse since the previous wave or in the last 2 years. RwLIFEINL is coded as 0 if the respondent did not have any life insurance lapse since the previous wave. RwLIFEINL is coded as 1 if the respondent did have some life insurance lapse since the previous wave. This question is asked starting in HRS wave 3. In wave 3, if the respondent was part of the AHEAD wave 2 sample, then RwLIFEINL is assigned special missing .q. This question is not asked in HRS waves 3 and 4 if the respondent had no life insurance in the current wave, in which case RwLIFEINL is assigned special missing .l. This question is not asked in HRS wave 4 if the respondent had not been

previously interviewed, in which case RwLIFEINL is assigned special missing .i. Don't know, refused, or other missing responses are assigned special missing .d, .r, .m, respectively. RwLIFEINL is set to plain missing (.) for respondents who did not participate in the current wave. SwLIFEINL indicates whether the respondent's spouse had any life insurance lapse since the previous wave or in the last 2 years, and its values are taken from RwLIFEINL. In addition to the special missing codes used in RwLIFEINL, SwLIFEINL employs two additional special missing codes, .u and .v. A special missing value .u is used when the respondent does not report being coupled in the current wave. A special missing value .v is used when the respondent reports being coupled in the current wave but their spouse is not interviewed.

Cross Wave Differences in HRS No questions about new or lapsed life insurance are asked prior to HRS wave 3. Respondents in HRS waves 3 and onward are asked if they obtained any new life insurance policies since the previous wave if they reported having life insurance in the current wave. Only in HRS wave 4, new respondents who had not been previously interviewed are not asked this question. Respondents in HRS waves 3 and onward are asked if they allowed any life insurance policies to lapse or if any have been cancelled since the previous wave. Only in HRS waves 3 and 4, respondents are not asked this question if they reported having no life insurance in the current wave. Only in HRS wave 4, new respondents who had not been previously interviewed are not asked this question.
