Label
Cause of Death Indicator
Description

Cause of death came from death certificates with an internal adjudication process to categorize cause of death into grouping for research purposes. Death certificate searches were completed on a regular basis. Due to delays in reporting of deaths and death searches, cause of death was not available for all known deaths; based on the last search, cause of death was available for deaths reported through 2018. MI=myocardial infarction, CHF= congestive heart failure. If a participant reported having any of the CVD/stroke events in the INC_CVD_STROKE definition at the start of the WSC, they were excluded from this dataset.
