DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aims of this program project, as funded, are to: 1. investigate the impact of socioeconomic and biomedical insults during developmental, middle-life, and older ages on the onset of specific chronic diseases at middle and late ages, and on waiting time to death from specific causes in both white and black populations; 2. examine the effect of pensions and health on the demand for retirement and for independent living arrangements among black Union Army (UA) veterans; 3. Estimate what types of public health interventions have been most effective in lowering mortality, improving health in later life, and promoting exceptional longevity; 4. expand the range of biomedical and socioeconomic factors that can be considered in the life-cycle Union Army data set by linking it to the 1880 census, which provides health information, and by linking it to data on the epidemiological characteristics of cities and wards; 5. Create two new life-cycle samples, one for black UA veterans and one for men rejected for service from the UA; and 6. Maintain and improve the life-cycle sample of white UA veterans and encourage wider use through a sub-grants program. The supplement will enhance the program project by expanding the life-cycle data set of white UA veterans by creating a sample of brothers, allowing incorporation of a much richer set of covariates into the analysis. It will help us better understand what determines pension outcomes and provide valuable input for our analysis of the effects of pensions on black and white retirement rates and living arrangements. It will enhance the analysis of the predictors of later morbidity and mortality carried out under the parent grant by focusing on a specific devastating and relatively common affliction--lead poisoning. Specifically, the aims of this supplemental application are to: 1. investigate the impact of observable familial factors on health and mortality across the life cycle and to estimate the social and environmental determinants of morbidity and longevity controlling for unobserved heterogeneity at the family level; 2. examine the social construction of disability in the past and the role of politics in past disability programs; 3. document the proportion of the population, by subgroups, with elevated lead levels and examine the effects of lead exposure on health, morbidity, mortality, and labor force participation; and 4. speed up the collection of the life-cycle sample of black Union Army veterans, expand the current public database to cover the beginning of the twentieth century, and create a life-cycle sample of brothers who served in the Union Army. Finally, we propose to expand the Administrative Core D commensurately to support the new scientific projects and the expanded Data Extension Core B.

描述（由申请人提供）：本计划项目的目的，作为资助，是：1。调查社会经济和生物医学的侮辱在发展，中年，和老年人在中年和晚期的特定慢性疾病的发病，并在等待时间死亡的特定原因在白色和黑人人口的影响; 2.研究退休金和健康对黑人联邦军退伍军人退休和独立生活安排需求的影响; 3.估计什么类型的公共卫生干预措施在降低死亡率、改善晚年健康状况和促进长寿方面最有效; 4.通过将其与提供健康信息的1880年人口普查联系起来，并通过将其与城市和病房的流行病学特征数据联系起来，扩大可以在生命周期联邦军队数据集中考虑的生物医学和社会经济因素的范围; 5.创建两个新的生命周期样本，一个是美国黑人退伍军人，一个是被美国拒绝服役的男性; 6.保持和改善白色美国退伍军人的生命周期样本，并鼓励通过次级赠款计划更广泛地使用。该补充将通过创建兄弟样本来扩展白色美国退伍军人的生命周期数据集，从而增强该计划项目，允许将更丰富的协变量集纳入分析。它将帮助我们更好地了解是什么决定了养老金的结果，并为我们分析养老金对黑人和白色人退休率和生活安排的影响提供有价值的投入。它将加强在父母补助金下进行的对后来发病率和死亡率预测因素的分析，重点是一种具有破坏性的、相对常见的疾病-铅中毒。具体地，本补充申请的目的是：1.调查可观察到的家庭因素对整个生命周期的健康和死亡率的影响，并估计发病率和寿命的社会和环境决定因素，控制家庭层面的未观察到的异质性; 2.研究过去残疾的社会结构和政治在过去残疾计划中的作用; 3.按亚组记录铅水平升高的人口比例，并检查铅暴露对健康、发病率、死亡率和劳动力参与率的影响;加快收集联邦军队黑人退伍军人的生命周期样本，扩大目前的公共数据库，以涵盖20世纪初，并创建一个在联邦军队服役的兄弟的生命周期样本。最后，我们建议扩展管理核心D，以支持新的科学项目和扩展的数据扩展核心B。
