The principal objective of this research program is the creation of a public-use tape suitable for a prospective study of aging in a random sample of 39,616 men mustered into the Union Army during 1861-1865. Approximately 31,000 of the individuals in the sample lived to be age 40 and over between 1870 and 1940. The tape will cover virtually the entire life-cycle of the recruits. It will contain information on the socioeconomic characteristics of the households in which they were reared and of the prevalence of specific diseases in the localities in which they lived during their developmental ages; it will also contain their health histories while in the service, including various measures of stress; and it will contain their occupational, residential, and health histories from the dates they left the service until their deaths, as well as information on the cause of their deaths. The tape will provide the basis for four analytical projects that are titled: (1) Exposure to Disease During Growing Ages and War Service; (2) Early Predictors of Morbidity and Mortality at Later Ages; (3) Secular Trends in Labor Force Activity at Older Ages; (4) Intergenerational and Familial Aspects of Aging. The research team is first-rate, well balanced in skills and experienced in the areas in which they will be working. The extraordinary data set produced will permit the exploration of important and little understood issues in socio-economic history as well as in current policy. In addition, the analytical tools and relationships developed should find extensive use in many disciplines. Approximately, two-thirds of the estimated $3,622,580 cost of the project is being borne by the National Institute of Aging (NIA). Other prospective funders outside NIA include the National Science Foundation, the National Medical Library, and various private sources. Their combined contributions should suffice to assure the financial feasibility of the five-year project.

该研究计划的主要目标是 创建一个公共使用的磁带适合于前瞻性研究， 随机抽取了39,616名被征召到联邦军队的男性， 在1861-1865年间。大约有31,000人在 样本在1870年至1940年之间活到40岁以上。 磁带 将涵盖新兵的整个生命周期。 它 将包含关于以下方面的社会经济特征的信息： 他们所居住的地方， 在他们居住的地方， 他们的发育年龄;它也将包含他们的健康 历史，而在服务，包括各种措施， 压力;它将包含他们的职业，住宅， 从他们离开服务之日起的健康史， 死亡人数，以及死亡原因的信息。 该磁带将为四个分析项目提供基础 题目是：（1）在成长期暴露于疾病， 战争服务;（2）早期预测的发病率和死亡率在 （3）老年劳动力活动的长期趋势 年龄;（4）老龄化的代际和家庭方面。 研究团队是一流的，在技能上很平衡， 在他们将要工作的领域有经验。 的 产生的非凡数据集将允许探索 社会经济史上重要而鲜为人知的问题 在现行政策中也是如此。 此外，分析工具 发展的关系应该在许多领域得到广泛的应用， 学科 估计费用3 622 580美元的大约三分之二 该项目的一部分由国家老龄化研究所承担， （NIA）。NIA以外的其他潜在资助者包括国家 科学基金会，国家医学图书馆，以及各种 私人来源。 它们的共同贡献应足以 确保五年计划的财务可行性。
