Framingham Heart Study Longitudinal Data Documentation

The Framingham Heart Study is a long term prospective study of the etiology of cardiovascular disease among a population of free living subjects in the community of Framingham, Massachusetts. The Framingham Heart Study was a landmark study in epidemiology in that it was the first prospective study of cardiovascular disease and identified the concept of risk factors and their joint effects. The study began in 1948 and 5,209 subjects were initially enrolled in the study. Participants have been examined biennially since the inception of the study and all subjects are continuously followed through regular surveillance for cardiovascular outcomes. Clinic examination data has included cardiovascular disease risk factors and markers of disease such as blood pressure, blood chemistry, lung function, smoking history, health behaviors, ECG tracings, Echocardiography, and medication use. Through regular surveillance of area hospitals, participant contact, and death certificates, the Framingham Heart Study reviews and adjudicates events for the occurrence of Angina Pectoris, Myocardial Infarction, Heart Failure, and Cerebrovascular disease.

The enclosed dataset is a subset of the data collected as part of the Framingham study and includes laboratory, clinic, questionnaire, and adjudicated event data on 4,434 participants. Participant clinic data was collected during three examination periods, approximately 6 years apart, from roughly 1956 to 1968. Each participant was followed for a total of 24 years for the outcome of the following events: Angina Pectoris, Myocardial Infarction, Atherothrombotic Infarction or Cerebral Hemorrhage (Stroke) or death. (NOTE: Although the enclosed dataset contains Framingham data ‘as collected’ by Framingham investigators, specific methods were employed to ensure an anonymous dataset that protects patient confidentiality; therefore, this dataset is inappropriate for publication purposes).

The data is provided in Longitudinal form. Each participant has 1 to 3 observations depending on the number of exams the subject attended, and as a result there are 11,627 observations on the 4,434 participants. Event data for each participant has been added without regard for prevalent disease status or when examination data was collected. For example, consider the following participant:

RANDID age SEX time period prevchd mi_fchd timemifc

95148 52 2 0 1 0 1 3607

95148 58 2 2128 2 0 1 3607

95148 64 2 4192 3 1 1 3607

Participant 95148 entered the study (time=0 or period=1) free of prevalent coronary heart disease (prevchd=0 at period=1); however, during followup, an MI event occurred at day 3607 following the baseline examination. The MI occurred after the second exam the subject attended (period=2 or time=2128 days), but before the third attended exam (period=3 or time=4192 days). Since the event occurred prior to the third exam, the subject was prevalent for CHD (prevchd=1) at the third examination. Note that the event data (mi_fchd, timemifc) covers the entire followup period and does not change according to exam.

The following characteristics or risk factor data are provided in the dataset. Missing values in the dataset are indicated by a period (.). In SAS, missing values are numerically the smallest possible values (for example, <0 or < -99999999).

For Each participant the following event data is provided. For each type of event, ‘0' indicates the event did not occur during followup, and ‘1' indicates an event did occur during followup. Only the first event occurring during the interval of baseline (PERIOD=1) to end of followup is provided:

Variable name Description

ANGINA Angina Pectoris

HOSPMI Hospitalized Myocardial Infarction

MI_FCHD Hospitalized Myocardial Infarction or Fatal Coronary Heart Disease

ANYCHD Angina Pectoris, Myocardial infarction (Hospitalized and silent or unrecognized), Coronary Insufficiency (Unstable Angina), or Fatal Coronary Heart Disease

STROKE Atherothrombotic infarction, Cerebral Embolism, Intracerebral Hemorrhage, or Subarachnoid Hemorrhage or Fatal Cerebrovascular Disease

CVD Myocardial infarction (Hospitalized and silent or unrecognized), Fatal Coronary Heart Disease, Atherothrombotic infarction, Cerebral Embolism, Intracerebral Hemorrhage, or Subarachnoid Hemorrhage or Fatal Cerebrovascular Disease

HYPERTEN Hypertensive. Defined as the first exam treated for high blood pressure or second exam in which either Systolic is : 140 mmHg or Diastolic : 90mmHg

DEATH Death from any cause

TIMEAP Number of days from Baseline exam to first Angina during the followup or Number of days from Baseline to censor date. Censor date may be end of followup, death or last known contact date if subject is lost to followup

TIMEMI Defined as above for the first HOSPMI event during followup

TIMEMIFC Defined as above for the first MI_FCHD event during followup

TIMECHD Defined as above for the first ANYCHD event during followup

TIMESTRK Defined as above for the first STROKE event during followup

TIMECVD Defined as above for the first CVD event during followup

TIMEHYP Defined as above for the first HYPERTEN event during followup

TIMEDTH Number of days from Baseline exam to death if occurring during followup or Number of days from Baseline to censor date. Censor date may be end of followup, or last known contact date if subject is lost to followup

Note that defining Hypertensive requires exam participation and bias can therefore occur. Subjects attending exams regularly have a greater opportunity to be defined as hypertensive. Subjects not attending exams would be assumed to be free of hypertension. Since Hypertension is highly prevalent, this misclassification could potentially be large.

Defining Incident events

Frequently, epidemiologists need to define the population at risk for some disease or event outcome, and individuals who have previously had an event need to be excluded from the analysis so that only new or first events are counted. Incidence or first event rates can be calculated using any of the three examinations as a baseline exam. The variables PREVAP, PREVMI, PREVCHD, PREVSTRK, and PREVHYP will define the population at risk for the outcome of interest. For example, assume we are interested in incident hospitalized myocardial infarction or fatal coronary heart disease. Consider again participant 95148 and participants 477082 and 1140225 whose data are given below.

RANDID age SEX time period prevchd mi_fchd timemifc

95148 52 2 0 1 0 1 3607

95148 58 2 2128 2 0 1 3607

95148 64 2 4192 3 1 1 3607

477082 38 1 0 1 0 1 1718

477082 44 1 2119 2 1 1 1718

1140225 58 2 0 1 0 0 8766

1140225 64 2 2172 2 0 0 8766

1140225 69 2 4287 3 0 0 8766

Participants are often enrolled in an observational study without regard to past medical history. The study investigators will review the medical record to determine if the participant had any pre-existing disease at the time of the first study examination. If pre-existing disease is found, then the data for that subject will reflect prevalent disease at the first exam; however, the subject will continue to be followed for any new events. All participants, regardless of their prevalent disease status, will continue to be followed and events recorded until the study ends, the participant dies, or the participant cannot be contacted to ascertain their status (lost to followup). For participants who enter the study free of disease, the incident events are used to determine prevalent disease status at later exams. For the three participants above, none entered the study with prevalent disease and using period 1 as the baseline exam, the population at risk could be defined using code similiar to the SAS code below:

data work; set frmgham; if period=1 and prevchd=0;

The data would appear as the following:

RANDID age SEX time period prevchd mi_fchd timemifc

95148 52 2 0 1 0 1 3607

477082 38 1 0 1 0 1 1718

1140225 58 2 0 1 0 0 8766

The population at risk consists of all three participants (prevchd=0) and followup time for the event of hospitalized MI or fatal CHD would be the time indicated under TIMEMIFC. The first two participants (95148 and 477082) would be regarded as having an incident event during followup.

Likewise, the second examination or period=2 could also be used as a baseline exam. The full dataset can be subset to include only those at risk at the start of the second period. For example:

data work; set frmgham; if period=2 and prevchd=0;

Since time to event is provided as days since the first visit, a new time variable would need to be created so that number of days under study extends from the second exam until the end of followup:

newtime=timemifc-time;

The revised dataset that includes the population at risk beginning at period=2 and extends until the end of followup would be:

RANDID age SEX time period prevchd mi_fchd timemifc newtime

95148 58 2 2128 2 0 1 3607 1479

1140225 64 2 2172 2 0 0 8766 6594

The population at risk (those free of prevalent disease) now includes only participants 95148 and 1140225. The variable NEWTIME correctly reflects the number of days of followup from the second exam or period=2 until the first event or a censor point.

The same procedure can be used to define the third exam or period=3 as the baseline exam.

For more complex analyses, such as time-dependent analysis, or a counting process style of input, the user would have to subset the population to those free of disease at all exams and event data would have to be modified to reflect when the event occurred relative to the examinations. Consider the following SAS code which would modify the dataset to a counting process style of input for an analysis on the Hospitalized MI-Fatal CHD endpoint. The variable NEWEVNT is modified from MI_FCHD so that the event indicator is ‘1' only once for each participant. The variables TIME and ENDTIME define the interval the subject is at risk:

data analysis; set work; if prevchd=0;

proc sort data=analysis; by randid descending period;

data analysis; set analysis; by randid;

newevnt=mi_fchd;

retain exmtime;

if first.randid then do; endtime=timemifc; exmtime=time; end;

else do;

newevnt=0; endtime=exmtime;exmtime=time;

end;

proc sort data=analysis; by randid period;run;

The data would appear, for example, as follows for three participants :

RANDID age SEX period time endtime newevnt mi_fchd timemifc

11263 43 2 1 0 2178 0 1 5719
