I would just like to check on the meaning of the cvd_dthdt variable. In the label it references time till first instance of CVD; however, in the description, it indicates it is time until death from CVD. Which one is correct?
That's correct. There are individual "time until X" variables like MI, CABG, PTCA, etc. I think the CVD death variable is a composite that the dataset owners created from the other "time until fatal X event" variables, so you could probably create your own "time until first instance of CVD" from some of the other CVD Outcomes variables.
