Specification of the coding system for the CLHLS 2011-2014

longitudinal dataset (including the 2011/2012 and 2014 waves of both

survivors and deceased persons) Note: please read the following specification BEFORE using this data set. 1. This dataset is derived from the 2011/2012 and 2014 1 waves of the Chinese

Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS). The CLHLS covers 23 out of 31 provinces 2 in China. This dataset consists of three components. The first component contains all the information collected in the 2011/2012 survey for 9,765 respondents who were interviewed in 2011/2012. The second component contains information collected in the 2014 survey for 6,066 respondents who were re-interviewed in 2014. The third component includes information collected from the next-of-kin of 2,879 deceased persons who were interviewed in 2011/2012 but had died before the 2014 follow-up survey. Out of 9,765 total respondents who were interviewed in 2011/2012, 820 respondents were lost to follow-up in the 2014 survey. This dataset is called the 2011-2014 longitudinal data. It presents both static and three-year interval dynamic information for the respondents interviewed in 2011/2012.

2. Variables and the code system in this dataset are based on questions in the individual questionnaire in the 2011/2012 survey, questions not in shaded boxes in the individual questionnaire in the 2014 follow-up survey, and questions in the questionnaire for the deceased person in the 2014 follow-up survey. The names of variables and the code system in this dataset, however, are not necessarily all the same as those in the corresponding questionnaires. Some are slightly different. Please use this coding system when performing analysis, and take the questionnaire as a basic reference.

3. In the coding system, ‘Write Format: F3’, for example, means that the length of the variable code is 3 digits without decimal points, while ‘Write Format: F8.6’ represents the length of the code of the variable is 8 digits with 6 digits after the decimal point. The latter format (with a decimal point) is used for weights.

4. Most of variables are treated as ‘Numeric’ ones in this dataset, while some of them are treated as ‘string’ ones. Variables such as age, year, month, number of persons, and number of days are treated as ‘Scale’ type. Most of the remaining variables are treated as ‘Nominal’ ones including ‘yes’ or ‘no’ binomial questions. Variables in

1 63.3% of the interviews were conducted in the randomly selected half of the counties and cities in the 22 provinces except the 8 longevity areas in 2014; and the rest 36.7% were completed in the 8 longevity areas as the more in-depth study in 2014. The non-longevity survey in 2014 was just follow-up based on the 6th wave without newly added samples. 2 The baseline survey and the next 3 follow-up surveys were conducted in 22 of China’s 31 provinces in 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2005. Hainan was included in the 5th, 6th, and 7th waves as the 23th province to perform the more in-depth study for longevity areas.

Part B, variables related to ADL, IADL functioning capacity in Part E, and some variables in Part D in the surviving individual questionnaires are treated as ‘Ordinal’ ones. ADL functioning before dying for the deceased persons are also treated as ‘Ordinal’ variables. More detailed information could be found in the ‘measurement level’ in the coding system.

5. A variable with ‘r’ as the first letter of the name indicates whether the question was answered personally by the respondent or was answered by a proxy.

6. Variables with names ‘_14’ as their suffix are for those who were still alive and re-interviewed in 2014 while variables with names ‘d14’ as their prefix are variables for those deceased respondents who died in the survey interval of 2011-2014.

7. ‘-6’ is used to indicate that the variable is used for surviving persons ONLY and is NOT applicable to the deceased persons. ‘-7’ is used to indicate that the variable is used for the deceased persons ONLY and is NOT applicable to the surviving respondents, and ‘-9’ is used to define lost to follow-up. ‘-1’is used in this dataset to indicate a situation in which the question is NOT applicable to the respondent. ‘9’, ‘99’, ‘999’, and ‘9999’ are usually used to represent missing information in different variables, while ‘8’, ‘88’, ‘888’, and ‘8888’ in most cases (but NOT all cases) are used to indicate situations in which the respondent didn’t know the answers to the questions. The missing values indicated by ‘8’, ‘88’, ‘888’, ‘8888’, ‘9’, ‘99’, ‘999’, and ‘9999’ need to be imputed by the user before doing the analysis, especially when the proportion of ‘missing’ or ‘don’t know’ is larger than 5%. The data sets with imputed values to replace the missing data are not currently available.

8. There are two variables (i.e., dth11_14, and w_2011) in this dataset are non-survey variables. The variable of “dth11_14” indicates survival status in the 2014 survey (i.e., surviving, deceased, lost to follow-up). Another variable is “w_2011” (see Note 11).

9. Attention should be given to time-varying variables. The information gathered in the 2011 survey (e.g., number of marriages, information about the last marriage) is subject to change.

10. Geographic codes indicating participants’ county/city/town residence location in 1998, 2000, 2002, 2005 2008, 2011, and 2014 waves are NOT included in this released dataset. This is because that some counties have very small number of participants; consequently, releasing participants’ county/city/town residence location codes would violate the rules for protecting respondents’ private confidentiality.

11. The weight variable “w_2011” is estimated based on the estimated numbers of elderly persons by age, sex, and rural/urban residence in 2011 derived from the 6th census conducted in 2010 for the 22 provinces where the 2011 follow-up survey was conducted. The total number of the weighted individual cases of the survey is equal to the total sample size. However, the numbers of the weighted individual cases for the age-sex-residence-specific groups may not be exactly the same as the actual sub-sample size of the corresponding groups. Thus, SPSS, SAS, STATA (or other software) would not produce correct p-values for testing the statistical significance of the differences of the average proportions across different age-sex-

reference groups, since the sub-sample size of the sub-groups may be altered after weighting the individual cases. Therefore, the weights need to be appropriately adjusted to ensure that the sub-sample size within each sub-group after weighting is exactly the same as the true sub-sample size for the cross sub-groups comparisons with statistical significant test. Such adjusted weights are available upon request. Please refer to Zeng and Vaupel et al. (2001: Appendix A) for details on how the weights and the adjusted weights are computed. Weight is not applied to those respondents aged less than 65 or more than 106 at their first interviews.

12. The eligible respondents in this dataset are those people aged 65 and over. There are a very few respondents in this dataset whose age was less than 65 at the baseline survey, however. It’s recommended to exclude the respondents who were less than 65 years.

13. This dataset can be available in SPSS, SAS, STATA, or ASCII format. Please indicate which format you prefer.

14. This codebook is produced by STATA12.1.
