Access to exact ages for 90+ participants in HCP Aging

[Hansol Lee]

Hello HCP Aging team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently working with the HCP Aging dataset and had a question regarding age information for participants aged 90 and above. I understand that, for privacy reasons, ages are top-coded for older participants in the released data.

For a specific analysis focused on late-life aging effects, I was wondering whether there is any mechanism to request access to exact ages for participants in the 90+ group through a restricted data use agreement or an approved data access process.

Thank you very much for your time and for maintaining such a valuable resource.

Best regards,

Hansol Lee
