by Charlotte A Schoenborn MPH Jackline L Vickerie MGA and Eve Powell-Griner PhD Division of Health Interview Statistics

Abstract ObjectivemdashThis report highlights the health characteristics of four age groups

of older adultsmdash55ndash64 years 65ndash74 years 75ndash84 years and 85 years and overmdash providing estimates by sex race and Hispanic origin poverty status health insurance status and marital status

MethodsmdashThe estimates in this report were derived from the 2000ndash2003 National Health Interview Surveysrsquo Family and Sample Adult questionnaires Estimates are based on interviews with 39990 sample adults aged 55 years and over

ResultsmdashOverall prevalence rates for fair or poor health chronic health conditions (with the exception of diabetes) sensory impairments and difficulties with physical and social activities increased with advancing age doubling or even tripling between the age groups 55ndash64 and 85 years and over About one in five adults aged 55ndash64 years were in fair or poor health rising to about one-third of adults aged 85 years and over Men and women were about equally likely to be in fair or poor health across the age groups studied but women were more likely to have difficulty in physical or social activities Sociodemographic variations in health were noted across the age groups studied with the most consistent and striking results found for poverty status and health insurance coverage Poor and near poor adults and those with public health insurance were by far the most disadvantaged groups of older adults in terms of health status health care utilization and health behaviors

ConclusionsmdashHealth status health care utilization and health-promoting behaviors among adults aged 55 and over vary considerably by age and other sociodemographic characteristics Identifying these variations can help government and private agencies pinpoint areas of greatest need and greatest opportunity for extending years of healthy life among the Nationrsquos seniors

Introduction Older adults represent an ever-

increasing proportion of the US population In 1900 adults aged 65 years and over constituted 41 of the US population By 2000 this percentage had tripled to 124 and the number of adults in this age group grew from 31 million to 35 million (1) The near elderly population comprised of those aged 55ndash64 years accounted for 86 percent of the US population (243 million) in 2000 (2) Together the near elderly and the elderly represent a significant and growing portion of the US population According to the US Census Bureau by 2020 the population aged 55ndash64 is projected to be 427 million and those 65 years and over is projected to be 546 million (2)

There have been substantial improvements in life expectancy during the past century In 1900ndash1902 life expectancy at birth in the United States was 492 years (3) Life expectancy was 179 years for adults reaching age 55 years and for those reaching age 65 years at that time life expectancy was 119 years (3) In 2002 life expectancy at birth was 773 years at age 55 it was 261 years and at age 65 years it was 182 years (3) Such statistics support

expanding the public health focus on promoting quality of life at the older ages Assessing the distribution of health impairments and health risks of the near elderly as well as the elderly is an important step in furthering efforts to enhance health and well-being of older adults in the United States

The Federal government as well as public health researchers has been expanding activities to monitor and improve the health of older adults The Department of Health and Human Servicesrsquo Web site highlights many agencies and organizations that are involved in aging-related activities (4) Among the Federal agencies and offices engaged in such activities are the Administration on Aging (5) the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (6) the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (7) the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (8) and the National Institutes of Healthrsquos National Institute on Aging (9) CDCrsquos National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has an ongoing aging initiative and maintains a data warehouse on Trends in Health and Aging (10) A report on key indicators of well-being for older Americans is published periodically by the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging Statistics (11) and a series entitled lsquolsquoAging Trendsrsquorsquo initiated in 2001 by NCHS publishes information on aging-related topics (12ndash16) In Health United States 2005 the 29th report to the President and the US Congress on the health status of the Nation a special section was devoted to the health of adults aged 55ndash64 years (17) The expanding public health focus on older adults is further evidenced by the increasing volume of literature on the health and well-being of the Nationrsquos older population (18ndash27)

This report which highlights health characteristics of adults aged 55 years and over in the United States is the first of a series of periodic summary reports on older adults using data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) NHIS one of the major data collection systems of NCHS is an annual survey of a nationally representative sample of the US civilian noninstitutionalized household

population This report complements and broadens data from the NHIS presented in the periodic publication lsquolsquoAging Trendsrsquorsquo It presents national prevalence estimates for selected health indicators for adults aged 55ndash64 years and 65 years and overmdashwith detailed information for adults aged 65ndash74 years 75ndash84 years and 85 years and over The report provides a snapshot of the current health status of adults aged 55 years and over and adds to the existing body of literature by providing additional benchmarks for charting progress in improving the health and well-being of older Americans in the 21st Century

Data from the 2000ndash2003 National Health Interview Surveys were used to derive estimates for each of these four age groups by sex race and Hispanic origin poverty status health insurance coverage and marital status (28ndash31) The health indicators in this report include health status selected health conditions difficulties with physical and social activities use of health services and key health-related behaviors that are particularly relevant to the older population This report highlights some of the most prominent age and subgroup differences in these health indicators

Methods

Data source

The statistics shown in this report are based on data for sample adult respondents to the 2000ndash2003 National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS) (28ndash31) Information on health and demographic characteristics was collected in the family and sample adult components of the annual core questionnaires As noted earlier NHIS is a survey of a nationally representative sample of the US civilian non-institutionalized household population Basic health and demographic information is collected in the family component for all members of the family Adults present at the time of the interview are asked to respond for themselves Proxy responses are accepted for the family component for adults not present at the time of the interview and those who are physically or mentally incapable of responding for

themselves Additional information is collected from one randomly selected adult aged 18 years and over (that is the lsquolsquosample adultrsquorsquo) per family Information on the sample adult is self-reported except in rare cases when the sample adult is physically or mentally incapable of responding

Measurement

Tables 1ndash4 include selected measures of health for adults aged 55 years and over Many of these measures are shown in the annual reports of data from NHIS although these reports contain less detail for the older age groups (3233) The current report describes the health characteristics of older adults in four age groupsmdash55ndash64 years 65ndash74 years 75ndash84 years and 85 years and overmdashby sex race and Hispanic ethnicity poverty status health insurance status and marital status The youngest age group 55ndash64 years can be considered lsquolsquolate middle age or near elderlyrsquorsquo Adults in the 55ndash64 years group although approaching retirement years are usually still working some are still raising families and some are beginning to experience chronic health problems typical of older adults The 55ndash64 years age group serves as a useful benchmark for assessing the patterns in health characteristics observed among adults in the older groups Estimates in the report are age-specific Age adjustment to a standard population was not done to maximize comparability with other nonadjusted estimates published in Older Americans 2004 (11)

The categories of race and Hispanic ethnicity were limited to the four largest groups to provide reliable estimates using 4 years of data Even with 4 years of data the standard errors of estimates for non-Hispanic Asian adults are often quite large and such estimates should be interpreted with caution (See discussion below)

The classification of health insurance coverage is complex and differs between adults under age 65 years and those aged 65 years and over A detailed discussion of health insurance coverage as defined in NHIS is available in the annual Summary Health


Statistics reports (3233) For this report categories of coverage were combined and limited to those most informative for the study of older adults The vast majority of adults aged 65 years and over are eligible for Medicare and therefore many adults aged 65 years and over who have private or other public coverage are also covered by Medicare The health insurance categories shown in Tables 1ndash4 reflect this overlapping coverage To simplify the discussion of findings the category lsquolsquoprivate (with and without Medicare)rsquorsquo shown in the tables is referred to in the highlights as lsquolsquoprivatersquorsquo and the category lsquolsquoMedicare or other public onlyrsquorsquo shown in the tables is referred to in the highlights as lsquolsquopublicrsquorsquo Similarly in the highlights describing findings for adults under age 65 years the category lsquolsquoMedicaid or other publicrsquorsquo has been shortened to lsquolsquopublicrsquorsquo Because of their eligibility for Medicare the number of adults aged 65 years and over in the category lsquolsquouninsuredrsquorsquo is very small and this category is not shown for age groups 65 years and over

The health characteristics shown in Tables 1ndash4mdashassessed health status selected chronic conditions and impairments difficulties with physical and social activities use of health services and health-related behaviorsmdashare generally based on respondent self-report The questions sometimes paraphrased appear in the footnotes of each table The complete questionnaires for each data year covered in this report are available on the NCHS Web site at wwwcdcgovnchsnhishtm

Statistical analysis

From 2000 to 2003 NHIS interviews were completed for 152301 families and 127596 sample adults living in households across the United States For these 4 years combined the household response rate was 891 The final response rate for the Sample Adult component was 736 Procedures used in calculating response rates are described in detail in Appendix I of the Survey Description of the NHIS data files (28ndash31) and information on number of respondents in each of the

years covered in this report are in Table I This report is based on data from 39990 completed interviews with sample adults aged 55 years and over Four years of data were combined to increase reliability of estimates

Estimates and associated standard errors shown in Tables 1ndash4 were generated using SUDAAN a software package designed to handle complex sample designs such as that used by NHIS (34) Estimates were weighted using the Sample Adult Record Weight to reflect the US civilian non-institutionalized population aged 55 years and over Estimates with a relative standard error of more than 30 and up to and including 50 are identified with an asterisk () preceding the estimate Readers should exercise caution when interpreting these statistics Estimates with a relative standard error of more than 50 are indicated with a dagger (dagger) and are not shown

Statistical tests performed to assess significance of differences in the estimates were two-tailed with no adjustments for multiple comparisons The critical value used to compare the estimates at the 05 level was 196 Terms such as lsquolsquogreater thanrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoless thanrsquorsquo indicate a statistically significant difference Terms such as lsquolsquosimilarrsquorsquo or lsquolsquono differencersquorsquo indicate that the statistics being compared were not significantly different Lack of comment regarding the difference between any two statistics does not mean that the difference was tested and found to be not significant

Results

Health status and conditions (Table 1)

Overall prevalence of fair or poor health hypertension heart disease hearing impairment vision impairment and absence of all natural teeth increased across the age groups studied The only exception to this general pattern was the prevalence of diabetes which was lowest among adults aged 85 years and over (110) and among those aged 55ndash64 years (126) and highest among adults aged 65ndash74

years (170) Some of the most striking variations in prevalence of these health conditions by age and socioshydemographic characteristics are highlighted below

Health status

+ About one in four adults aged 55 years and over (232) were in fair or poor healthmdashranging from 196 of adults aged 55ndash64 years to 336 of adults aged 85 years and over

+ Men and women were about equally likely to be in fair or poor health

+ Non-Hispanic black adults and Hispanic adults were more likely than non-Hispanic white adults and non-Hispanic Asian adults to be in fair or poor health in all but the oldest age group

+ Poor adults were more likely than adults who were not poor to be in fair or poor health (Figure 1) with greatest differences in health status by poverty status observed for adults aged 55ndash64 years

+ Adults who had public health insurance coverage were more likely than those with private insurance to be in fair or poor health Adults aged 55ndash64 years who had public health insurance coverage (673) were more than five times as likely as those who had private health insurance (131) to be in fair or poor health In contrast adults aged 65 years and over who had public health insurance coverage (554) were about 2frac12 times as likely as those who have private health insurance coverage (220) to be in fair or poor health

+ Marital status had a moderate relationship with health status For example among adults aged 55ndash64 years and 65ndash74 years formerly married adults were more likely than married adults to be in fair or poor health Among adults 75 years and over only those aged 85 years and over who had never married (226) had significantly lower rates of fair or poor health than adults in other marital status groups


Figure 1 Percentage of adults 55 years and over who were in fair or poor health by age and poverty status United States 2000ndash2003

Hypertension

+ About 4 in 10 adults aged 55 years and over (449) had hypertension ranging from 380 of adults aged 55ndash64 years to about one-half of adults aged 85 years and over (505)

+ Differences between men and women in prevalence of hypertension varied by age In the youngest age group men and women were about equally likely to have hypertension Among adults aged 65 years and over women were more likely than men to have hypertension

+ Non-Hispanic black adults in each of the older age groups had substantially higher rates of hypertension than non-Hispanic white adults non-Hispanic Asian adults or adults of Hispanic origin However the differences by raceethnicity varied by age For example among adults aged 55ndash64 years 559 of non-Hispanic black adults had hypertension compared with 360 of non-Hispanic white adults 369 of Hispanic adults and 318 of non-Hispanic Asian adults Among adults aged 75ndash84 years 710 of non-Hispanic black adults had hypertension compared with 586 of non-Hispanic Asian adults 517 of non-Hispanic white

adults and 493 of Hispanicadults

+ Adults with public health insurance coverage had higher rates of hypertension than adults who had private health insurance coverage with the greatest differences among adults aged 55ndash64 years Among these adults prevalence of hypertension was nearly 20 percentage points higher among those who had public health insurance coverage (578) than among those with private health insurance (360) Among adults aged 65 years and over the difference in hypertension prevalence between those having public (631) and private (496) coverage was smaller than for adults in the 55ndash64 year age group

Heart disease

+ Prevalence of heart disease increased with age One in four adults aged 55 years and over had heart disease with rates more than doubling between ages 55ndash64 years (170) and ages 85 years and over (385)

+ Men were more likely than women to have heart disease among adults under age 85 years with the differences most notable in the age groups 65ndash74 years (317 of men and 225 of women) and 75ndash84

years (429 of men and 306 of women) At ages 85 years and over men and women were about equally likely to have heart disease

+ The relationship of race or ethnicity and prevalence of heart disease varied by age Among adults 55ndash64 years of age prevalence of heart disease was similar for non-Hispanic black (176) and non-Hispanic white (177) adults The lowest prevalence of heart disease was among Hispanics (128) and non-Hispanic Asians (94) Among adults aged 65 years and over prevalence of heart disease was higher for non-Hispanic white adults (324) than for non-Hispanic black adults (258) non-Hispanic Asian adults (246) or Hispanic adults (215) Among adults 65 years and over prevalence of heart disease by raceethnicity showed no consistent pattern when prevalence was examined for the more detailed age categories

+ Heart disease was associated with poverty among adults aged 55ndash64 years 275 of poor adults in this age group had heart disease compared with 159 of those who were not poor However among adults aged 65 years and over no significant differences in prevalence of heart disease were found between adults who were poor (327) and those who were not poor (312)

Diabetes

+ Unlike the other conditions studied prevalence of diabetes did not increase with age prevalence of diabetes was highest among adults aged 65ndash74 years (170) and lowest among those 85 years and over (110)

+ Prevalence of diabetes was higher for non-Hispanic black adults and Hispanic adults than for non-Hispanic white adults or non-Hispanic Asian adults Among adults aged 55ndash64 years non-Hispanic black adults (215) and Hispanic adults (197) were about twice as likely as non-Hispanic white adults (107) to have diabetes Among adults aged 65 years and over rates of diabetes were


about 10 percentage points higher for non-Hispanic black (242) and Hispanic (235) adults than for non-Hispanic white adults (144)

+ Poor adults were more likely than adults who were not poor to have diabetesmdashexcept among the oldest adults Among adults aged 55ndash64 years poor adults (212) were twice as likely as adults who were not poor (104) to have diabetes Among adults aged 65ndash74 years poor adults (216) and near poor adults (213) were more likely than adults who were not poor (153) to have diabetes

+ Adults who had public health insurance coverage were considerably more likely to have diabetes than those with private coverage and those who were uninsured

Hearing impairment

+ The prevalence of hearing impairment increased with age Overall nearly one-third of adults aged 55 years and over (315) had some level of hearing impairment ranging from 223 of adults aged 55ndash64 years to 580 of adults aged 85 years

+ Sex differences in prevalence of hearing impairment varied by age Among adults 55ndash64 years men (296) were nearly twice as likely as women (157) to have hearing impairment Among adults 75ndash84 years more than one-half of men had difficulty hearing (549) compared with just over one-third of women (364) Among adults aged 85 years and over the gap between men (630) and women (554) in rates of hearing impairment narrowed markedly

+ Among adults aged 65 years and over 4 in 10 non-Hispanic white adults (410) had hearing impairment compared with about one-fourth of non-Hispanic black adults (244) and Hispanic adults (245) and about one-third of non-Hispanic Asian adults (340)

Vision impairment

+ Prevalence of vision impairment nearly tripled between the ages of 55ndash64 years (110) and ages 85 years and over (303)

+ Sex differences in prevalence of vision impairment were modest with women having slightly higher rates of vision impairment than men the same age Among adults aged 85 years and over the differences between men (293) and women (308) were not statistically significant

+ Non-Hispanic black adults were somewhat more likely than non-Hispanic white adults to have vision impairment

+ Rates of vision impairment were highest among poor adults and those who had public health insurance coverage with the differences by poverty and insurance status most pronounced among adults aged 55ndash64 years

Absence of natural teeth

+ Prevalence of total tooth loss increased with age Overall one in five adults aged 55 years and over (216) had lost all of their natural teeth with rates of total tooth loss nearly doubling between the age groups 55ndash64 years (137) and 65ndash74 years (240) and then increasing to more than 400 among adults aged 85 years and over

+ Poor adults and near poor adults were more likely than adults who were not poor to have lost all their natural teeth Among adults aged 55ndash64 years about one in four poor adults (270) and near poor adults (246) had lost all their natural teeth compared with about 1 in 10 adults who were not poor (107) Among adults aged 75ndash84 years nearly one-half of poor adults (473) and about 4 in 10 near poor adults (391) had lost all their teeth compared with less than one-fourth of adults who were not poor (229)

+ Adults who had public health insurance coverage were two to three times as likely as those with private coverage to have lost all their natural teeth Among adults aged 55ndash64 years one-third of those with public health insurance coverage (330) had lost all their natural teeth compared with about 1 in 10 adults who had private coverage (107) Among adults aged 65 years and

over those who had public health insurance coverage (466) were nearly twice as likely as those who had private coverage (241) to have lost all their teeth

Difficulty with physical and social activities (Table 2)

Prevalence of having difficulties with physical and social activities generally increased with age with the greatest increase occurring between the two oldest age groups Although prevalence estimates and the magnitude of subgroup differences varied by activity the overall patterns were remarkably similar Selected highlights are presented but the reader is encouraged to examine Table 2 for specific activities and subgroups of interest

Health behaviors (Table 4)

Leisure-time physical activity

+ About one-half of adults aged 55 years and over (517) engaged in at least some light moderate or vigorous leisure-time physical activitymdashwhether regularly or irregularlymdashranging from over one-half of adults aged 55ndash64 years to about one-fourth of adults aged 85 years and over

Regular leisure-time physical activity

+ Overall about 1 in 4 adults aged 55 years and over (247) engaged in regular leisure-time physical activity The prevalence of engaging in regular leisure-time physical activity was about the same for adults 55ndash64 years

(281) and 65ndash74 years (269) but was markedly lower among adults 75ndash84 years (187) and those aged 85 years and over (82)

+ Men were more likely than women to engage in regular leisure-time physical activity with the greatest differences found in the oldest age groups Among adults 55ndash64 years men (299) were somewhat more likely than women (265) to engage in regular leisure-time physical activity Among adults aged 75ndash84 years men (242) were about one and one-half times as likely as women (150) to engage in regular leisure-time physical activity Among adults aged 85 years and over men (116) were almost twice as likely as women (65) to engage in regular leisure-time physical activity

+ Adults who had private health insurance were generally more likely than adults without private coverage to engage in regular leisure-time physical activity

+ Prevalence of regular leisure-time physical activity was generally higher among currently married adults than among formerly married adults and those who had never been married for all age groups under 85 years

Strengthening activities

+ Rates of participation in activities designed to strengthen muscles were low among adults in all age groups 55 years and over ranging from 172 of adults aged 55ndash64 years to 72 of adults aged 85 years and over

+ In the age groups 55ndash64 years and 65ndash74 years non-Hispanic Asian adults and Hispanic adults were more likely than non-Hispanic black adults or non-Hispanic white adults to have never smoked cigarettes

Cigarette smoking nonsmokers

+ Prevalence of being a current nonsmoker (that is never smoked or a former smoker) was very high among adults aged 55 years over (856) increasing from 793 among adults aged 55ndash64 years to 974 among adults aged 85 years and over

+ Among adults aged 55ndash64 years and 65ndash74 years women were more likely than men to be nonsmokers In the two oldest age groups men and women were about equally likely to be nonsmokers

iscussion The findings presented in this report

re based on interviews with adults

living in households across the United States Although the NHIS sample includes a few residential assisted-living units for the most part the interviewed sample consists of adults who can manage in a regular household settingmdasheither on their own or with the help of other household members or paid caregivers Adults unable to manage in the home are living in nursing homes or other institutional settings and are out of scope for NHIS This context should be kept in mind when interpreting the findings presented

Overall prevalence rates for fair or poor health chronic health conditions (with the exception of diabetes) sensory impairments and difficulties with physical and social activities increased with advancing age doubling or tripling between the age groups 55ndash64 years and 85 years and over Sociodemographic variations in health characteristics were found in each of the older age groups studied although they were not always the same across age groups For


example among adults aged 65 years and over women were more likely than men to have hypertension but men were more likely to have heart disease Men aged 55ndash64 years (296) were about twice as likely as women (157) in the same age group to have hearing impairment with the gap narrowing considerably among men (630) and women (554) aged 85 years and over Although men and women were about equally likely to be in fair or poor health across the age groups studied women generally were more likely to have difficulty with physical or social activities In interpreting the findings presented in this report the reader should be mindful not only of the selectivity of the older adult household population mentioned earlier but also of the differences in the survival of men and women in these older age groups which may affect prevalence of conditions impairments and limitations for the two groups

Race and ethnicity differences were found for most health indicators although the groups with the higher rates of health problems varied Non-Hispanic black adults had higher rates of hypertension than non-Hispanic white adults but non-Hispanic white adults had higher rates of heart disease Prevalence of difficulties with many of the physical or social activities was highest for non-Hispanic black adults and in many cases similar for Hispanic adults and non-Hispanic white adults Non-Hispanic white adults were considerably more likely than non-Hispanic black adults to have gotten a flu shot and to have visited a dentist but non-Hispanic black adults were more likely to have had an emergency room visit Non-Hispanic white adults were more likely than non-Hispanic black adults to be physically active in leisure time and to be a healthy weight However non-Hispanic black adults were more likely than non-Hispanic white adults to have never smoked cigarettes

The most consistent and striking findings are the health differences by poverty status and health insurance coverage Poor and near poor adults and those with public health insurance were by far the most disadvantaged groups of

older adults This report shows that older adults who were poor or nearly poor and those who lacked private health insurance had much higher rates of health problems much lower rates of immunizations and dental care utilization and lower rates of healthy behaviors than adults who were not poor and those who had private health insurance coverage The causal direction of the association of health status poverty and health insurance coverage cannot be determined here That is whether these older adults were sick because they were poor poor because they were sick or both cannot be determined with cross-sectional data This limitation in identifying causation also applies to the relationship between public health insurance coverage and health status In addition it is likely than many of the demographic and health variables are correlated In particular income and health insurance are highly correlated Future studies using multivariate models would improve understanding of the relationship of these factors However even in the absence of such studies analyses identifying and monitoring differences in subpopulations serve a useful purpose in public health research

Married adults generally were less likely to be in fair or poor health and less likely to have difficulty with physical and social activities than formerly married (widowed or divorced) adults although in some cases the differences disappeared at the oldest ages Currently married adults were more likely than formerly married adults to have gotten a flu shot and to have been to a dentist among adults aged 65 years and over currently married adults also were more likely than formerly married adults to have gotten a pneumonia shot Currently married adults were more likely to engage in leisure-time physical activities but were less likely to be a healthy weight than formerly married adults Among adults aged 55ndash64 years those who were currently married were much more likely to be nonsmokers but the marital status differences in this behavior diminished and eventually disappeared

with advancing agemdasha stage of life when smoking is rare

Conclusions Much remains to be studied and

learned about healthy aging Clearly some groups are more advantaged than others when it comes to health status chronic health conditions utilization of health services and personal health behaviors Prevalence rates for many chronic health conditions were highest for the oldest age groups Among adults aged 65 years and overmdashmost of whom are eligible for Medicaremdashuse of physician services was high Utilization was lower among adults under age 65 years Use of preventive health and dental services was highest among adults who are not poor

Adoption of healthy behaviors was greater in some groups of older adults than others Adults who were not poor were most likely to engage in life-enhancing behaviors such as leisure-time physical activity abstinence from smoking and for those aged 65 years and over maintenance of healthy body weight Although some declines in health with normal aging are inevitable a better understanding of the disparities in health status access to health services and prevalence of health-promoting behaviors that exist among the Nationrsquos older adults can help government and private agencies pinpoint areas of greatest need and greatest opportunity

Technical notes

Sample design

The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a cross-sectional household interview survey of the US civilian noninstitutionalized population Data are collected continuously throughout the year in all 50 States and the District of Columbia NHIS uses a multi-stage clustered sample design that allows production of national estimates for a variety of health indicators Information on basic health topics is collected for all household members by proxy from one family member if necessary Additional information is collected from one randomly sampled adult and about one randomly sampled child in each family Self-response is required for the Sample Adult questionnaire except in the rare cases of sample adults who are physically or mentally incapable of responding for themselves Interviews are conducted in the home using a computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI) questionnaire with telephone followup permitted if necessary

Response rates

The household response rate for the NHIS data years 2000ndash2003 was 891 The final response rate for the Sample Adult component of the National Health Interview Survey was 736 NHIS interviews were completed for 127596 sample adults aged 18 years and over of whom 39990 were aged 55 years and over Response rates for single years are shown in Table I Procedures used in calculating response rates for combined data years are described in detail in Appendix I of the Survey Description of the NHIS data files (28ndash31)

Item nonresponse

Item nonresponse for each of the sociodemographic indicators was less than 1 with the exception of questions related to income Item nonresponse for detailed income was about 195 Estimates for persons with unknown sociodemographic characteristics are not shown separately in the tables but are included in the totals and in all other

variables for which data were reported Item nonresponse for the health-related variables was less than 3 The denominators for percents shown in Tables 1ndash4 exclude persons for whom the relevant information was not reported

Tests of significance

Statistical tests performed to assess the significance of differences between percentages were two-tailed with no adjustments for multiple comparisons The test statistic used was

|Xa ndash Xb|Z = radicSa

2 + Sb 2

where Xa and Xb are the two percents being compared and Sa and Sb are the standard errors of the percents The critical value used for two-sided tests at the 005 level of significance was 196

Relative standard error

The relative standard error RSE(x) of an estimate x is obtained by dividing the standard error SE(x) of the estimate by the estimate itself This quantity is expressed as a percentage

RSE = 100 (SE (x) ) x

In Tables 1ndash4 estimates having an RSE of more than 30 and up to and including 50 are indicated by an asterisk () and are considered statistically unreliable These should be interpreted with extreme caution Estimates having an RSE of more than

50 if any are indicated with a dagger (dagger) and are not shown

The Federal government as well as public health researchers has been expanding activities to monitor and improve the health of older adults The Department of Health and Human Servicesrsquo Web site highlights many agencies and organizations that are involved in aging-related activities (4) Among the Federal agencies and offices engaged in such activities are the Administration on Aging (5) the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) (6) the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (7) the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (8) and the National Institutes of Healthrsquos National Institute on Aging (9) CDCrsquos National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has an ongoing aging initiative and maintains a data warehouse on Trends in Health and Aging (10) A report on key indicators of well-being for older Americans is published periodically by the Federal Interagency Forum on Aging Statistics (11) and a series entitled lsquolsquoAging Trendsrsquorsquo initiated in 2001 by NCHS publishes information on aging-related topics (12ndash16) In Health United States 2005 the 29th report to the President and the US Congress on the health status of the Nation a special section was devoted to the health of adults aged 55ndash64 years (17) The expanding public health focus on older adults is further evidenced by the increasing volume of literature on the health and well-being of the Nationrsquos older population (18ndash27)

This report which highlights health characteristics of adults aged 55 years and over in the United States is the first of a series of periodic summary reports on older adults using data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) NHIS one of the major data collection systems of NCHS is an annual survey of a nationally representative sample of the US civilian noninstitutionalized household

population This report complements and broadens data from the NHIS presented in the periodic publication lsquolsquoAging Trendsrsquorsquo It presents national prevalence estimates for selected health indicators for adults aged 55ndash64 years and 65 years and overmdashwith detailed information for adults aged 65ndash74 years 75ndash84 years and 85 years and over The report provides a snapshot of the current health status of adults aged 55 years and over and adds to the existing body of literature by providing additional benchmarks for charting progress in improving the health and well-being of older Americans in the 21st Century

Data from the 2000ndash2003 National Health Interview Surveys were used to derive estimates for each of these four age groups by sex race and Hispanic origin poverty status health insurance coverage and marital status (28ndash31) The health indicators in this report include health status selected health conditions difficulties with physical and social activities use of health services and key health-related behaviors that are particularly relevant to the older population This report highlights some of the most prominent age and subgroup differences in these health indicators

Methods

Data source

The statistics shown in this report are based on data for sample adult respondents to the 2000ndash2003 National Health Interview Surveys (NHIS) (28ndash31) Information on health and demographic characteristics was collected in the family and sample adult components of the annual core questionnaires As noted earlier NHIS is a survey of a nationally representative sample of the US civilian non-institutionalized household population Basic health and demographic information is collected in the family component for all members of the family Adults present at the time of the interview are asked to respond for themselves Proxy responses are accepted for the family component for adults not present at the time of the interview and those who are physically or mentally incapable of responding for

themselves Additional information is collected from one randomly selected adult aged 18 years and over (that is the lsquolsquosample adultrsquorsquo) per family Information on the sample adult is self-reported except in rare cases when the sample adult is physically or mentally incapable of responding

Measurement

Tables 1ndash4 include selected measures of health for adults aged 55 years and over Many of these measures are shown in the annual reports of data from NHIS although these reports contain less detail for the older age groups (3233) The current report describes the health characteristics of older adults in four age groupsmdash55ndash64 years 65ndash74 years 75ndash84 years and 85 years and overmdashby sex race and Hispanic ethnicity poverty status health insurance status and marital status The youngest age group 55ndash64 years can be considered lsquolsquolate middle age or near elderlyrsquorsquo Adults in the 55ndash64 years group although approaching retirement years are usually still working some are still raising families and some are beginning to experience chronic health problems typical of older adults The 55ndash64 years age group serves as a useful benchmark for assessing the patterns in health characteristics observed among adults in the older groups Estimates in the report are age-specific Age adjustment to a standard population was not done to maximize comparability with other nonadjusted estimates published in Older Americans 2004 (11)

The categories of race and Hispanic ethnicity were limited to the four largest groups to provide reliable estimates using 4 years of data Even with 4 years of data the standard errors of estimates for non-Hispanic Asian adults are often quite large and such estimates should be interpreted with caution (See discussion below)

The classification of health insurance coverage is complex and differs between adults under age 65 years and those aged 65 years and over A detailed discussion of health insurance coverage as defined in NHIS is available in the annual Summary Health
