Sample members are followed from age 65 to death. Weighted by the sample weight in the last HRS interview. “Any NH” indicates at least one night spent in a nursing home from age 65 to death; “NH>100” indicates more than 100 nights; and “Total NH” measures the cumulative number of nights in nursing homes.
