AgeAtTest_DM_Attended
New in R8. Derived age at test in decimals to reflect true age (eg 35.9 instead of 35) at first visit in years and decimals. This variable replaces AgeAtTest_DM because that was calculated using AppDate. Since AppDate is the date the first visit is scheduled which is not always the date the visit took place. For AgeAtTest_DM_Attended the variable AppDate_Attended is used which is the actual date of the first visit. Please note that this is a decimal number which does not reflect months.

AppDate_Attended
New for R8 and replaces AppDate. Date of the apppointment which the participant ACTUALLY attended so appointment status = 2. Where participant had 2 or more appointments with status 2 the most recent date has been entered here. This is different from the data in AppDate since this is the actual date and Appdate is the date is should have been had it not been cancelled. The AppDate variable should no longer be used in R8.
