    Description

    The data includes, for each designated geographic area, employment and payroll data organized by NAICS. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is used by the United States, Canada, and Mexico to classify businesses by industry. "This data is useful for studying the economic activity of small areas; analyzing economic changes over time; and as a benchmark for other statistical series, surveys, and databases between economic censuses. Businesses use the data for analyzing market potential, measuring the effectiveness of sales and advertising programs, setting sales quotas, and developing budgets. Government agencies use the data for administration and planning." (from website)

    Description

    This dataset consists of comparisons of mortality and hospital discharge rates/diagnoses between Old Order Amish (OOA) living in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and non-Amish Caucasians. The Anabaptist Genealogy Database Version 5 (AGDB5) and the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) were utilized for the mortality statistics for each cohort, respectively. Additionally, OOA health-related data were collected from hospital discharge records from 4 Lancaster County hospitals while the National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS) was used for non-Amish Caucasians. For each discharge the principal diagnosis and up to 6 additional diagnoses were recorded using ICD-9-CM codes. The dataset consists of demographics, mortality statistics, hospital discharge and diagnoses data, as well as longevity and health-related comparison analyses between the two groups.
