S1 STROBE Checklist: Supporting Data for HRS Mortality and Life Purpose Study

12.7 MB of supplementary tables and figures supporting a longitudinal health study. The data includes hazard ratios, censored death counts from 2006–2018, and sensitivity analyses for models linking life purpose to mortality. Richard Sias authored this collection, last updated on May 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Replicate survival analysis models based on hazard ratios and Schoenfeld residual plots.
• Analyze the relationship between life purpose scores and mortality risk using the provided hazard ratios and absolute risk figures.
• Study the impact of chronic conditions and age on mortality using stratified model results.
• Assess multicollinearity in health models using variance inflation factor tables.

Strengths

• Data supports a STROBE-compliant study, a standard for observational research reporting.
• Includes longitudinal mortality data spanning three periods from 2006 to 2018.
• Contains multiple sensitivity analyses and model variations for robustness checks.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 12.7 MB size suggests a small dataset, potentially limiting the scope of analysis.
