  • Find a dataset with chol and many other variables

    Dear Stata users,

    Does anyone of you have this dataset which consists of the following variables:

    chol: cholesterol
    age: age
    gender: gender
    race: race
    died: death
    fat: fat in the diet
    smoke (or smk): smoking status
    etoh: alcohol consumption
    ses: socio-economic status
    sys(or sbp): systolic blood pressure
    htn: hypertension
    hra: heart rate

    It seems that this dataset was a part of "fhs", i.e. the Framingham Heart Study. I searched through web but find no dataset that could perfectly match it. Thank you.
    There's a clue: ajmean, regpred, predxcon, predxcat, etc. authored by J.Garrett, Professor, School of Medicine, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC. However, I can't contact her.

    I'm pretty sure you can get all of those variables in the public use data files available from the NHANES Mortality Follow-Up study. Check out https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data-linkag...ity-public.htm.

      J Garrett = Joanne Garrett, who was an early Associate Editor of the Stata Technical Bulletin and the Stata Journal, and has retired from those roles, as well as from UNC. I think the absence of an email address means "I've retired!",

        Dear Clyde Schechter Nick Cox thank you so much. I don't know that Joanne M. Garrett has such a deep relationship with Stata.
        P.S. I still think the dataset was from the Framingham Heart Study which is a long-term, ongoing cardiovascular cohort study of residents of the city of Framingham, Massachusetts. The study began in 1948 with 5,209 adult subjects from Framingham, and is now on its third generation of participants. However, data examples in Github miss some variables, especially race, ses, and hypertension.https://github.com/GauravPadawe/Framingham-Heart-Study
        p.s. here's another data example: https://github.com/AlirezaLashkar/He...seDataAnalysis

          Sure, the data from the Framingham Heart Study will probably be the best data you can get for this. But it's not up on the web available for download. To get it, you have to submit an application with detailed NIH-style proposal to the Framingham Heart Study, and if approved, you will have to sign a data use agreement, and probably pay for it. If you want to go that route, the information about the application process is available at https://www.framinghamheartstudy.org...r-researchers/.

          I was assuming that you were looking for a reasonably high quality data set that is in the public domain and readily accessible.
