DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from Investigator's Abstract) We propose to develop CD-AGING, a CD-ROM containing databases useful to researchers on human aging. The project will involve selecting and reformatting the databases, and embedding them in a PC environment that will support easy access to the data for viewing and for processing by familiar analysis tools, including: spreadsheets, relational dbms, and statistical analysis software such as SAS, SPSS-X and BMDP. With the graying of the overall US population, there is increased need to address research questions pertinent to the older population. To this end, many useful databases have been constructed, especially by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). The work to be done here is to make some of those databases more conveniently available by storing them in an appropriate software environment on CD-ROM. CD-ROM is a computer storage medium, like floppy disk, but with much greater capacity (about 650 megabytes per disc) and with faster access parameters. Unlike floppy disk, CD-ROM is a read-only device (it is written once at the time of its creation). Furthermore, it is inexpensive to make, and works very well with IBM compatible personal computers, making it possible to perform database operations on a PC that formerly had required mainframe computers.

描述：（改编自研究者摘要）我们建议开发 CD-AGING，包含对人类研究人员有用的数据库的CD-ROM 衰老 该项目将涉及选择和重新格式化数据库， 并将它们嵌入到PC环境中， 用于查看和由熟悉的分析工具处理的数据，包括： 电子表格、关系数据库管理系统和统计分析软件， SAS、SPSS-X和BMDP。 随着美国人口的老龄化， 越来越需要解决与老年人有关的研究问题， 人口 为此，建立了许多有用的数据库， 尤其是国家卫生统计中心（NCHS）。 工作 在这里要做的是使其中一些数据库更方便 通过将它们存储在适当的软件环境中的CD-ROM来提供。 只读光盘是一种计算机存储介质，像软盘，但有很多 容量更大（每张光盘约650兆字节），访问速度更快 参数 与软盘不同，CD-ROM是只读设备（它是 在创作的时候写过一次）。 此外，它是廉价的 并与IBM兼容的个人电脑配合得很好， 可以在以前具有 需要大型计算机。
