MEDICAL HISTORY (AGES 12-74) DATA TAPE

Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, HANES I, 1971-1975

Description of Survey: A detailed description of the design, content

and operation of HANES I is provided in the following reports: Plan

and Operation of the Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, DHEW

Pub, No. (HSM) 73-131O, Series 1, NOS. l(ja and lob, public Health

Service, Washington, D. C., U. S. Government Printing Office, February

1973. Also provided is a draft report on

adults describing the relevant field work

and October 1975.

Target Population: HANES I was conducted

the augmentation survey of

conducted between July 1974

on

sample of approximately 28,000 persons, ages

civilian, noninstitutionalized population of

a nationwide probability

1-74 years, from the

the coterminous United

States, excepting those persons residing on Indian reservations.

The survey started in April 1971 and for many survey components was

completed in June 1974. The HANES I sample was selected so that

certain population groups thought to be at high risk of malnutrition

(persons with low incomes ~ preschool children, women of childbearing

age and the elderly) were oversampled at known rates. Adjusted sampling

weights were then computed within 60 age , sex and race categories in

order to inflate the sample in such a manner as to closely reflect

the noninstitutionalized population, ages 1-74, of the United States

at the midpoint of the survey.

-1-

Although the main emphasis of HANES I was orInutrition, a subset

of those sample persons aged 2.5-74received a more detailed health

examination which was continued through October 1975. No particular

oversampling of subgroups of the population was done in this subsample

(e.g. women of childbearing age were not oversampled as they were for

the major nutrition component of HANES I). This subsample is also

representative of the United States population aged 25-74 at the

midpoint of HMJES 1.

After the nutriticinsurvey was completed, the detailed examination

given to the 25-74 age group was continued until the total number

~f examined persons was approximately

who received the detailed examinati~n

Data Collection: Information for all

double the number of examinees

during the nutrition survey.

examined sample pe~sons in

HANES I was obtained by means of a household interview, a general

medical history, a 24-hour dietary intake recall int=view~ a food

frequency interview, a food program questionnaire> a general medical

examination, dental, dermatological and ophthalmological examinations,

anthropometric measurement, hand-wrist x-rays (of those ages 1-17 only)

and 24 hematological, blood chemistry, and urological laboratory

‘determinations.

In addition to the information received on all examined persons by

means of the above questionnaires, procedures and measurem@ntsY the

following data were gathered on the subsample of adults aged 25-74.:

-2-

a medical history supplement; supplementary questionnaires concerning

arthritis, respiratory and cardiovascular conditions (when applicable);

a health care needs questionnaire; a general well-being questionnaire;

an extended medical examination; x-rays of the chest and hip and knee

joints; audiometry; electrocardiography; goniometry; spirometry;

pulmonary diffusion and tuberculin tests; along with additional

laboratory determinations.

Use of HANES Data

With the goal of mutual benefit, NCHS requests the cooperation of

recipients of data tapes in certain actions related to their use:

A. Any published material derived from the’data should

acknowledge the National Center for Health Statistics

as the original source. It should also include a disclaimer

which credits any analyses, interpretations, or conclusions

reached to the author (recipient of the tape) and not to

NCHS, which is responsible only for the initial data.

B. Consumers who wish t-opublish a technical description of

the data will make a reasonable effort to insure that the

description is not inconsistent with that published by NCHS.

This does not mean, however, that NCHS will review such

descriptions.

-4-

Errors in the Data Sets and Survey Differences

The data users tapes have been subjected to a great deal of careful

editing. However, due to the large volume of data in the series,

it is likely that a small number of errors or discrepancies remain

undetected. We would appreciate if any such errors are detected

that they be brought to our attention so that new corrected copies

of the tape can be created and errata sheets issued to previous

purchasers.

Some of the continuous data items have extremely high or low values

and we have verified that they do in fact appear that way on the

hard documents; that is, we have verified that the values have not

been incorrectly keyed.

In general, we have not attempted to resolve any differences that

may exist between estimates derived from the various subsamples of

HANES 1. Nor have we made any comparisons between estimates from

HANES I and previous surveys conducted by the Division of Health

Examination Statistics.

-5-

,VarianceEstimation

Because the Health and Nutrition Examination Survey is based upon a complex

sample design, the assumptions of many statistical tests and routinely

available statistical programs are not met. For this reason, when estimates

of the variances of statistics from HANES are computed, the technique of

estimation must be based upon complex sampling theory. In order to provide

the user with the capability of estimating the complex sample variances, we

have provided Strata and Primary Sampling Unit [PSU) codes on the HANES

user tapes in tape positions 194-198. However, these codes are suitable

for making variance estimates only for examination locations 1-65 and 1-100.

To compute variance estimates for examination locations 1-35 or 66-100, it

is necessary to recode the current Strata-PSU codes according to the

specifications that follow, The resultant recoded Strata-PSU codes should

be used only for locations 1-35 and 66-100.

One computer program that should be widely available sometime around the

summer of 1978 as part of the Statistical Analysis System (available from

the SAS Institute, Inc., Post Office Box 10066, Raleigh, North Carolina

27605] is capable of using the Strata-PSU codes provided for HANES to

compute complex sample variances. Other programs may also be available,

In those Strata, referred to as certainty or self-representing Strata,

the PSU codes are actually the segment numbers. Neither the Strata codes

nor the PSU codes are the original codes used in the formation of the HANES

sample design, but are none-the-less a unique recoding of the original

codes. For further discussion of the sample design of HANES, the user

should consult the publications of the National Center for Health Statistics--

Series 1-Nos. 10a and 14 and the detailed note for tape positions 158-193.

Recode Specifications,forStrata-PSU Codes

First.--Create a file with Only those records in the file for examinaticmGions 1-35.*

Second.--Retain the original Strata-PSU codes in Strata 7-10 and 13 inthe original form as the recoded Strata-PSU codes.

Third.--Recode the remaining strata according to the chart below.

General Notes

Asterisks on the Tape Description: Some of the data items were obtained

only for a particular subsample of HANES. Consequently some of these

items appear to have a

to nonresponse, but in

of HANES dictated that

great deal of missing data (coded as BLANK) due

fact the data is missing because the design

the item was to be obtained only for a particular

subsample. (For further discussion of the various subsamples inHANES,,

the user should see the detailed note for tape positions 158-193.)

To alert the user to this fact asterisks were put on the tape description.

One asterisk denotes that the data item was obtained only on”dxaminees

at l~cations 1-65 and two asterisks denote that it was obtained only

at locations 66-100. ,,

Demographic Information: An advance letter, announcing the forthcoming

arrival of an interviewer from the U.S. Bureau of the Census? was

mailed to each household that fell into the sample area. The interviewer

subsequently visited the household to ascertain its composition and to

administer a questionnaire, the primary purpose of which was to obtain

demographic information. The questionnaire was administered to each

potential sample person that was available and competent enough to

respond to questions. In the event that a potential sample person was

not at home at the time of interview, any responsible adult in the

household was asked to respond to the questions for the absent person.

Demographic information for each of the examinees appears in tape

positions 1-200.

\

-8-

Medical History (Ages 12-7’4)Data Collection: For the main part of

the sumey the medical history was taken in the sample person’s home

by an interviewer of the Health Examination Survey. The interviewer,

a Health Examination Representative (HER), visited the sample person’s

home after the Census interviewing was complete and sample selection

made. In addition to asking the medical history questions the

interviewer had the important responsibility of enlisting the sample

persons in the survey, gaining their cooperation and consent to the

examination. The HER had to explain the purposes of the survey and

convince the sample persons to make an appointment to come in for the

examination. Further, the interviewer also administered a Food Programs

Questionnaire and, if the sample person was in the detailed examination

subsample, a General Medical History. When administering the questionnaires

the interviewer was to try to interview the respondent in Private tO

encourage openness and honesty on the part of the respondent and enhance

the feeling of confidentiality. During the continuation of the detailed

sample most of these tasks were assumed by the Census interviewer,

although some of the questions were transferred to a questionnaire

administered by the physician.

Medical History Data Editing_: The interview forms were keyed by the

Census Bureau, which ran certain edits for ranges, incomplete reporting

or recording and skip patterns, flagging problematic data, and delivered

the data to the Center on tape. Center personnel verified problematic

data and did further edits for consistency, completeness and accuracy

of the data. Where there was a question, reference was made to microfilm

records of the original questionnaires.

-9-

Other Medical History Data: The detailed sample persons answered some

additional medical history questions, These can be found on the Health

Care Needs, General Medical History and Supplements on Respiratory and

Cardiovascular Data Tape (catalog number 4091). All detailed persons

answered the Health Care Needs Questionnai~e, and the General Medical

History Supplement, and those who indicated that they had some problems

in screening questions on the History Supplement were asked further

questions from the Respiratory or Cardiovascular Supplements.

. Race

The race of the respondent was marked by observation and it was assumed

the race of all related persons was the same as the respondent unless

otherwise learned. The race categories were “White”, “Negro” or “other.”

If the appropriate category could not be marked by observation, then race

was asked. Persons of races other than White or Negro, such as Japanese,

Chinese, AmericariIndian, Korean, Hindu, Eskimo, etc. were reported as

“Other.” Mexicans were included with “White” unless definitely known to

be American Indian or of other nonwhite race.-.~

Total Family Income Group

The income group represents the total combined family income for the past

twelve (12) months. It includes income from all sources such as wages,

salaries, social security or retirement benefits, help from relatives,

rent from property and so forth. The income groups were not reconciled

to the component parts (tape positions 36-94). The income component

parts were not asked when the gross income was greater than $6,999.per annum.

However, amounts greater than $6,999 appear in tape positions,37-40,

67-70, and 72-75. Some respondents reported a loss of income,from their

nonfarm business, professional practice, partnership or farm and this

explains why some data fields

total in tape positions 91-94

are greater than $6,999, but the individual

does not exceed this figure.

A person’s occupation may be defined as his principal job or business.

For this survey purpose, the principal job or business of a respondent is

,.

defined in ~ne of the following ways: If the person worked during the

two week interview period or had a job or business, the question concerning

his occupation (or work) applies to his job during that period. If the

respondent held more than one job, the question is directed to the one

at which he spent the most time. It refers to the one he considers most

important when equal time is spent at each job. A person who has not begun

work at a new job, is looking for work, or is on layoff from work is

questioned about his last full-time civilian job. A full-time job is

defined as one at which the person spent 35 or more hours per week and

which lasted two consecutive weeks or more. A person who has a job to

which he has not yet reported and has never had a previous job or business

is classified as a “new worker.”

Poverty Index--Income status was determined by the Povert Income Ratio (PIR).1/Poverty statistics published in the Census Bureau reports_ were based on the

poverty i~ex developed by the Social Security Administration in 1964. (Fora detailed discussion of the SSA poverty standards, see reference 2.) Modifica-tions in the definition of poverty were adopted in 1969.2/ The standard dataseries in poverty for statistical use by all executive departments and establish-ments has bee-nestablished.~1

The two components of the PIR are the total income of the household(numerator) and a multiple of the total income necessary to maintain a familywith given characteristics on a nutritionally adequate food pla~l(denominator).The donor value of the denominator of the PIR is constructed from a food plan(economy plan) necessary to maintain minimum recommended daily nutritionalrequirements. The economy plan is designated by the Department of Agriculturefor “emergency,or temporary use when funds are low.”

For families of three or more persons, the poverty level was set at threetimes the cost of the economy food plan. For smaller families and personsliving alone, the cost of the economy food plan was adjusted by the relativelyhigher fixed expenses of these smaller households.

The denominator or poverty income cutoff adjusts the family poverty incomemaintenance requirements by the family size, the sex of the family head, theage of the family head in families with one or two members, and the place ofresidence (farm, nonfarm). Annual revisions of the poverty income cutoffs arebased on the changes i.nthe average cost of living as reflected in the ConsumerPrice Index.

As shown in the table, the annual income considered to be the povertylevel increases as the family size increases. A family with any combinationof characteristics and with the same income as shown in the table has beendesignated as having a PIR or poverty level of 1.O. The same family with twicethe income found in the table would have a PIR of 2.0. Ratios of less than 1.0can be described as “below poverty,” ratios greater than or equal to 1.0, as“at or above poverty+’

Poverty thresholds are computed on a national basis only. NO attempt hasbeen made to adjust these thresholds for regional, State, or other localvariation in the cost of living (except for the farm, nonfarm difference).None of the noncash public welfare benefits such as food stamp bonuses or freefood commodities are included in the income of the low income families receiving”these benefits.

HANES is a multistage, stratified, probability sample of”loose clusters ofpersons in land-based segments. In addition, HMJES is composed of twodistinct examination components--a nutrition screening examination (takenby all examinees) and a more detailed ex~ination taken by a pre-selectedsubsample of all examinees, ages 25-74. For the nutrition screening examina-tion, locations 1-35 and 1-65 constituted national probability samplesand for the detailed examination, locations 1-35, 1-65, 66-100 and 1-100all constitute national probability samples. In other words, HANES iscomposed of six distinct subsamples of the U.S. population. For a moredetailed discussion of the sample design see Series 1, No. 10a.

Since each of these six subsamples is a distinct subsample of the U.S.,-.population, each subsample requires a different set of weights. The weightsare based upon the probability of selection into the sample, adjustmentsfor nonresponse and further adjustments to approximate the U.S. noninstitu-..tionalized population as of the midpoint of each subsample..,

.... In order to.select all of those examinees in a particular subsample, i.e.received a particular exam component, it is necessary to exclude allexaminees with a weight of zero or blank. It is also necessary to excludeall zero or blank weights because that iS the only way to differentiate

,, missing data due to nonresponse from data that i.smissing because the sampledesign dictated that a particular examinee was not supposed to receive aparticular examination component.

It is suggested that any analyses that al-edesired by the researcher beperformed using the greatest number of examinees possible; that is, if theresearcher is interested in an exam component of the nutrition screeningexamination he should use the weight ‘andconsequently the data from the 65location subsample rather than the 35 location subsample. For the detailedexamination, the researcher should use the 100 location subsample ratherthan one of the othe~s. However, some exam components were only done in aparticular subsample; for exmple , only at the first 35 locations. Inthat case, the researcher hss no choice in selecting a particular subsample.

There may be occasions when a researcher may want to make comparisons ofestimates obtained from various subsamples. For example, the prevalence of

-some disease condition as estimated from the first 35 locations could becompared with an estimate based upon locations 66-100. The researcher mayalso want to formulate hypotheses using one subsample and test those hypoth--using another subsample.
