Lists of
variables at a glance
Data file
technical characteristics
The public-use version of the NHANES III Linked Mortality File was subjected to data perturbation techniques to reduce the risk of respondent re-identification while increasing the accessibility of NCHS micro data files. Synthetic data was substituted for the actual date and underlying cause of death data for selected decedent records. Information regarding vital status was not perturbed. The restricted-use version of the NHANES III Linked Mortality File is not subjected to data perturbation techniques. NCHS has conducted a comparative analysis of results obtained from the public-use and restricted-use NHANES III Linked Mortality Files.
