The NIA supports a library of computer available data on aging at the NACDA. The
archive offers important opportunities for students and other researchers to do
secondary analyses of data on scientific and policy issues. A wide range of data
on aging-related topics is archived. For example it is possible to use data from
the EPESE, discussed earlier in the lecture. The NACDA produced a CD-ROM
entitled, “Health and Well-Being of Older Adults.” This CD-ROM contains
EPESE data identified as ICPSR #9915. Data files on the CD-ROM are ASCII files
with internal formatting characteristics specific to any proprietary software.
To assist users, data definition statements for SAS and SPSS are provided. NACDA
