The central objective of the project is the production of a public use tape suitable for a study of aging among a random sample of 39,618 men mustered into the Union Army. The information in the tape will include socioeconomic characteristics of the households in which the recruits were raised; measures of the prevalence of specific diseases, of water supplies, and other public health conditions in the localities in which they lived during developmental ages; their combat and medical histories during the war; and their medical, occupational, income, residential, and demographic histories between 1965 and their deaths. Four projects will use the information in the tape to investigate such issues as: (1) The effect of nutritional status, socioeconomic factors, and exposure to diseases (including wartime stress) during developmental and middle ages on the morbidity and mortality rates of white males at middle and late ages. (2) The effect of host and environmental conditions on the probability that recruits would contract specific diseases during service and on the probability of dying from these diseases before being mustered out. (3) The effect of youthful exposure to virulent environments on the likelihood of developing specific chronic diseases and on the capacity to work at midadult and late ages, with controls for socioeconomic and other environmental conditions, age at exposure, and the duration of exposure. (4) The effect of specific chronic diseases on labor force participation and relative earnings at late ages during a period when the culture encouraged individuals late ages to be as self-supporting as possible. (5) The nature, cost, and effectiveness of arrangements for the care of the aged by the nature of their disabilities and by the occupations, family circumstances, and residence of those with whom they were lodged. (6) The contribution of economic, social, technological, political, and cultural factors to the sharp increase after 1890 in the income elasticity of the demand for leisure at older ages, and the explanation for the secular pattern of that increase. Other features of the project including the wide range of diseases to which the men in the sample were exposed, the capacity to follow highly mobile individuals over their life-cycles, the wide variations in the socioeconomic characteristics and environmental circumstances of the individuals, and the relatively low cost of the information per observation. Because of the nature of the 19th century diseases, the project also bears on the epidemiology of LDCS.

该项目的中心目标是生产一种公共使用的磁带 适合于在39，618名男性中随机抽样进行老化研究， 加入联邦军队 录像带中的信息将包括 被招募者所在家庭的社会经济特征 提高;具体疾病的流行程度，水供应， 以及他们居住地的其他公共卫生状况 在发展时期;他们的战斗和医疗历史， 战争;以及他们的医疗，职业，收入，居住和人口统计 从1965年到他们去世。 四个项目将使用 （1）在实验中，实验对象是实验对象。 营养状况、社会经济因素和疾病暴露 （包括战时压力）在发展和中世纪的 白色男性中晚期的发病率和死亡率。（二） 宿主和环境条件对 新兵会在服役期间和在 在被征召入伍前死于这些疾病的可能性。 （三） 年轻人暴露于有毒环境对 发展特定慢性疾病的能力和在 中年和晚期，控制社会经济和其他 环境条件、暴露年龄和暴露持续时间。 (4)特定慢性病对劳动力参与的影响 和相对收入在一个时期，当文化 鼓励老年人尽可能自立。 （五） 照顾病人安排的性质、成本和有效性 按残疾性质和职业、家庭 和他们居住的地方。 (6)的 经济、社会、技术、政治和文化的贡献 1890年后，收入弹性急剧增加， 老年人对休闲的需求，以及对世俗需求的解释， 这种增长的模式。 该项目的其他特点，包括广泛的 样本中的男性所接触的疾病范围， 为了跟踪高度移动的个体的生命周期， 社会经济特征和环境 个人的情况，以及相对较低的成本， 每项观察的信息。 因为19世纪的自然规律 该项目还涉及最不发达国家的流行病学。
