LIFE-M Ohio Causes of Death

Summary
Longitudinal and Intergenerational Determinants of Aging and Mortality was funded by the National Institute on Aging to add critical information on cause of death to a new large-scale data resource, the Longitudinal, Intergenerational Family Electronic Micro-database (LIFE-M). Enhancing the LIFE-M with cause of death will facilitate innovative research on the relationship of longevity and cause of death with demographic, socio-economic, and early-life environmental factors for family networks across four generations.
The grant had the following specific aims:
(1) Use ?Smart Indexing? technology to digitize and cross-validate hand-written cause-of-death information;
(2) Link digitized causes of death to the LIFE-M database and create documentation for this new variable for public use; and
(3) Publicly release the causes of death variable and documentation with the LIFE-M dataset, metadata, and supporting documentation.

We include individuals (1) born in Ohio born from 1866 to 1963 whose births were registered with the state (2) who were linked to an Ohio death certificate as part of the LIFE-M project (www.life-m.org). An additional requirement for inclusion is that the death certificate needed to be (3) captured in a digital image and (4) include a cause of death.

Sampling
We attempted to digitize cause of death for all individuals (1) born in Ohio born from 1866 to 1963 whose births were registered with the state (2) who were linked to an Ohio death certificate as part of the LIFE-M project (www.life-m.org). An additional requirement for inclusion is that the death certificate needed to be (3) captured in a digital image and (4) include a cause of death.
