The health exam datasets from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) use 'idtype' and 'id' to identify each person uniquely. However, in some shared datasets, 'framid' is often used for the same purpose. When merging data from both sources, the first step is to create the 'framid' as the primary key. Keep in mind, we expect variable names to be in lowercase in the following programs. But, if they're in uppercase, you might need to make extra adjustments, especially if your software is case-sensitive.
