In the HEALTH-File users find the generated SF12-Variables and variables on height and weight with imputation flags and a user-friendly longitudinal checked generated variable of the Body Mass Index (BMI). Persons with a successful individual interview ($netto >= 10 & $netto < 20) have been selected for the rectype HEALTH. The file has a long-format and additional SORTID with the variable SYEAR (Survey-Year). In 2006 the SF12 could not any longer been generated for the group of first time respondents (age 16/17 = 307). In 2010 and 2012 not all sub-samples of the SOEP get the very same questionnaire, thus information to generate MCS and PCS was not surveyed and thus the respective population get a value of “-5” for the variable VALID. 2 Variables in File HEALTH pid – Never Changing Person ID syear – Survey Year 1984 12245 1985 11090 1986 10646 1987 10516 1988 10023 1989 9710 1990 13972 1991 13669 1992 13397 1993 13179 1994 13417 1995 13768 1996 13511 1997 13283 1998 14670 ...
