There is no need for these data to updated periodically.
There is generally one observation for each participant in this follow-up project.
Data were collected in 1991 and 1992 by Dr. Lauren Whetstone.
The variable VISIT is, in fact, follow-up number. For this project, all should be either "1" or "2."
There is no comparable information type in the traditional BLSA Master File.
