Please refer to the readme file in the sandbox directory for full details of the available data.

Description

Data files contain following information from Hilmo - inpatient and outpatient register (INPAT, OUTPAT) and Avohilmo - primary care register (PRIM_OUT):

• Weight (kg)

• Height (cm)

• BMI

• Smoking

• Audit test results (10 questions)

• Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)

• Long term diagnosis (ICD10-codes)

Note: In DF13 hilmo_avohilmo_extended data, in some cases, same measurement has been recorded same day several times with different INDEX. So there might be same measurement (eg. weight: 87) same day 2 times with different INDEX. Especially in primary care data. We recommend to filter data using APPROX_EVENT_DAY so that there will be only one same measurement per day even though INDEX is different. This might be important in some analyses.
