 DESCRIPTION OF SURVEY

 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) 73-1310, Series 1, Nos. 10a and 10b, Public Health Service,
 Washington, D. C., U. S.  Government Printing Office, February 1973.  Also
 provided is a draft report on the augmentation survey of adults describing
 the relevant field work conducted between July 1974 and October 1975.

TARGET POPULATION

 Target Population:  HANES I was conducted on a nationwide probability
 sample of approximately 32,000 persons, ages 1-74 years, from the
 civilian, noninstitutionalized population of 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 years, of the United States at the midpoint of the
 survey.

 Although the main emphasis of HANES I was on nutrition, a subset of those
 sample persons aged 25-74 received 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 during the time of HANES I.

 After the nutrition survey was completed, the detailed examination given
 to the 25-74 age group was continued until the total number of examined
 persons was approximately double the number of examinees who received the
 detailed examination during the nutrition survey.

DATA COLLECTION

 Data Collection:  Information for all examined sample persons in HANES I
 was obtained by means of a household interview, a general medical history,
 a 24-hour dietary intake recall interview, 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 measurements, the following
 data were gathered on the subsample of adults aged 25-74:  a medical
 history supplement; supplementary questionnaires concerning arthritis,
 respiratory and cardiovascular conditions (when applicable); a health care
 needs question- naire; 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 to publish 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.


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 appre- ciate 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 I.
 Nor have we made any comparisons between estimates from HANES I and
 previous surveys conducted by the Division of Health Examination
 Statistics.

VARIANCE ESTIMATION

 Because the Health and Nutrition Examination Survey is based upon a
 complex sample design, the assumptions of many statistical tests and
 routinely avail- able 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 nonetheless 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-Nos. 10a and 14 and the detailed note for tape
 positions 158-193.

                 Recode Specifications for Strata-PSU Codes

 First.--Create a files with only those records in the file for examination
 locations 1-35.*

 Second.--Retain 1he original Strata-PSU codes in Strata 7-10 and 13 in the
 original form as the recoded Strata-PSU codes.

 Third.--Recode the remaining strata according tot he chart below.

 Fourth.--Repeat the process for examination locations 66-100.*

GENERAL NOTES, DEMOGRAPHIC DATA, HANES I

 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.

 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 great deal of missing data (coded as blank) due to
 nonresponse, but in fact the data are missing because the design of HANES
 dictated that the item was to be obtained only for a particular subsample.
 (For further discussion of the various subsamples in HANES 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 des-
 cription. One asterisk denotes that the data item was obtained only on
 examinees at locations 1-65, two asterisks denote that it was ob- tained
 only at location 66-100 and three asterisks denote that it was obtained
 only on examinees receiving the detailed examination.

DETAILED NOTES, DEMOGRAPHIC DATA

 Tape Position 10 - Size of Place

 Size of Place

 Size of place classification was derived from the 1960 census.  According
 to the definition used in the 1960 census, the urban population was
 comprised of all persons living in (a) places of 2,500 inhabitants or more
 incorporated as cities, boroughs, villages and towns (except towns in New
 York, New England, and Wisconsin); (b) the densely settled urban fringe,
 whether incorporated or unincorporated, or urbanized areas; (c) towns in
 New England and townships in New Jersey and Pennsylvania which contained
 no incorporated municipalities as subdivisions and had either 2,500
 inhabitants or more, or a population of 2,500 to 25,000 and a density of
 1,500 persons or more per square mile; (d) counties in states other than
 the New England states, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, that had no
 incorporated municipalities within their boundaries and had a density of
 1,500 persons per square mile; and (e) unincorporated places of 2,500
 inhabitants or more not included in any urban fringe.  The remaining
 population was classified as rural.

 Urban areas are further classified by population size for places within
 urbanized areas and other places outside urbanized areas.

 Tape Position 11 - SMSA

 SMSA

 A standard metropolitan statistical area is basically a county or a group of
 contiguous counties which contains at least one city of 50,000 inhabitants or
 more, or "twin cities" with a combined population of at least 50,000.  In
 addition to the county or counties containing such a city or cities,
 contiguous counties are included in an SMSA if, according to the 1960 Census,
 they are socially and economically integrated with the central city.  Each
 SMSA must include at least one central city, and the complete title of an
 SMSA identifies the central city or cities.

 Tape Positions 22 and 103 - Race

 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, American Indian, 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.

 Tape Positions 34-35 - Total Family Income Group

 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 are greater than $6,999, but the individual
 total in tape positions 91-94 does not exceed this figure.

 Tape Positions 95-99 - Family Unit Code

 Family Unit Code

 All related sample persons in the same family unit have the same computer
 generated family unit code.  This will enable detailed analysis of the
 individual family unit.

 Tape Positions 132-134 and 135-137 - Industry & Occupation Codes

 Industry and Occupation Codes

 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 one 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 spen 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."

 The 1970 census of population Alphabetical Index of Industries and
 Occupations was used in the coding of both the industry and occupation.

                      TAPE POSITIONS 147-149

 Poverty Index--Income status was determined by the Poverty Income Ratio
 (PIR).  Poverty statistics published in the Census Bureau reports1/ were
 based on the poverty index developed by the Social Security Administration
 in 1964.  (For a detailed discussion of the SSA poverty standards, see
 reference 2.)  Modifications in the definition of poverty were adopted in
 1969.3/  The standard data series in poverty for statistical use by all
 executive departments and establishments has been established.4/

    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
 family with given characteristics on a nutritionally adequate food plan3/
 (denominator). The dollar value of the denominator of the PIR is
 constructed from a food plan (economy plan) necessary to maintain minimum
 recommended daily nutritional requirements.  The economy plan is
 designated by the Department of Agriculture for "emergency or temporary
 use when funds are low."

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

    The denominator or poverty income cutoff adjusts the family poverty
 income maintenance requirements by the family size, the sex of the family
 head, the age of the family head in families with one or two members, and
 the place of residence (farm, nonfarm).  Annual revisions of the poverty
 income cutoffs are based on the changes in the average cost of living as
 reflected in the Consumer Price Index.

    As shown in the table, the annual income considered to be the poverty
 level increases as the family size increases.  A family with any
 combination of characteristics and with the same income as shown in the
 table has been designated as having a PIR or poverty level of 1.0.  The
 same family with twic the income found in the table would have a PIR of
 2.0.  Ratios of less than 1.0 can 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
 has been made to adjust these thresholds for regional, State, or other
 local variation in the cost of living (except for the farm, nonfarm
 difference).  None of the noncash public welfare benefits such as food
 stamp bonuses or free food commodities are included in the income of the
 low income families receiving these benefits.

                       TAPE POSITIONS 158-193

 HANES is a multistage, stratified, probability sample of loose clusters of
 persons in land-based segments.  In addition, HANES is composed of two
 distinct examination components--a nutrition screening examination (taken
 by all examinees) and a more detailed examination taken by a pre-selected
 subsample of all examinees, ages 25-74.  For the nutrition screening
 examination, locations 1-35 and 1-65 constituted national probability
 samples and for the detailed examination, locations 1-35, 1-65, 66-100 and
 1-100 all constitute national probability samples.  In other words, HANES
 is composed of six distinct subsamples of the U.S. population.  For a more
 detailed 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, such subsample requires a different set of weights.  The
 weights are based upon the probability of selection into the sample,
 adjustments for 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 all
 examinees with a weight of zero or blank.  It is also necessary to exclude
 all zero or blank weights because that is the only way to differentiate
 missing data due to nonresponse from data that is missing because the
 sample design dictated that a particular examinee was not supposed to
 receive particular examination component.

 It is suggested that any analyses that are desired by the researcher be
 per- formed using the greatest number of examinees possible; that is, if
 the researcher is interested in an exam component of the nutrition
 screening examination he should use the weight and consequently the data
 from the 65 location subsample rather than the 35 location subsample.  For
 the detailed examination, the researcher should use the 100 location
 subsample rather than one of the others.  However, some exam components
 were only done in a particular subsample; for example, only at the first
 35 locations.  In that case, the researcher has no choice in selecting a
 particular subsample.

 There may be occasions when a researcher may want to make comparisons of
 estimates obtained from various subsamples.  For example, the prevalence
 of some disease condition as estimated from the first 35 locations could
 be compared with an estimate based upon locations 66-100.  The researcher
 may also want to formulate hypotheses using 1 subsample and test those
 hypotheses using another subsample.

 GENERAL NOTES, ARTHRITIS DATA, HANES I

 Arthritis History Supplement:  The arthritis history supplement was
 administered to the Detailed Sample examinees by the examining physicians
 in the same session as the physical exam.The supplement was only
 administered to those examinees who had answered positively to one or more
 screening questions administered at the household interview.The screening
 question death with history of arthritis, pain or aching in joints, neck,
 back or hip and with joint swelling stiffness.  After an initial period of
 operation at the beginning of the survey, the examining physician was
 instructed not to administer the arthritis supplement if requestioning of
 the examinee warranted changing all positive screening questions to
 negative.  This procedure was followed for most of the survey operation.
 Some of the examining physicians did not recode the original responses to
 negative to reflect their considered opinion on not giving the arthritis
 supplement.

 Arthritis Assessments from X-ray Films of the Hip and Knee:  As part of
 the arthritis examination, x-ray films of the hip and knee were taken and
 were subsequently assessed for the presence of osteoarthrosis by three
 rheumatologists.  X-rays of the knees were taken on all detailed sample
 examinees and x-rays of the hips were taken on all men in the detailed
 sample, but among women in the detailed sample, were taken only on those
 50 years of age or older.

 Other Arthritis Data: Physical examination data resulting from a detailed
 joint examination can be found in tape locations 545-705 of the General
 Medical Examination, 1-74 years (catalogue number 4233).Certain arthritis
 screening questions can be found on the Medical History Questionnaire,
 12-74 years (catalogue number 4081) and also on the General Medical
 History, 25-74 years (catalogue number 4091).

 The data found in these tape positions are not a summary of the final
 adjudicated readings but are the result of readings made by Reader #1.

 This represents the apparent difference between the length of the right
 and left leg.  An X-ray was taken of the examinee's hip while he stood on
 a foot stand.The stand was carefully leveled and a plumb bob was used to
 indicate a true verticle line on the X-ray film.  The hip measurement was
 then made from the film by projecting two lines,one from each hip
 joint,perpendicular to the verticle plumb bob line and intersecting it at
 two points.  The distance between the two points is the hip measurement.
 The distance is indicated as plus if the right hip was higher than the
 left and minus if it was lower.

 X-rays were read on an ordinal scale generally based on the Atlas of
 Standard Radiographs (Vol. 2, The Epidemiology of Chronic Rheumatism)
 Oxford,Blackwell Scientific Publications, 1963.  The individual items in
 the readings can be considered to be reliable data with the exception of
 that for osteoporosis which was considered to be very difficult to assess
 accurately by the readers.  The overall grade of osteoarthrosis was
 synthesized from the individual items in a subjective manner.

 The investigator may find it in his interest for some purposes to
 construct alternate scales of overall grade of osteoarthrosis utilizing
 the ordinal scores for individual items.

 Each x-ray film was read independently by two rheumatologists. If an
 abnormality was found on either of the first two readings,a final
 adjudicated reading was made by a third reader in the presence of the two
 other readers.A final adjudicated reading was not generally made if no
 abnormality was found on the first two readings.In that case, those tape
 positions for the final adjudicated readings indicate that the examinee
 had no abnormality present, i.e., coded as 0.

 As a check,one out of every 20 examinees (342) whose x-rays were read as
 normal by both Reader #0 and Reader #1 were read once again during a final
 adjudication session.  Of those, only one was found to have a severe
 abnormality and two more were found to have lesions of questionable
 certainty.  At the adjudication session Reader #0 and Reader #1 reassessed
 their original readings for these three cases and their reassessments have
 been incorporated into the data set.

 If the data tape user wishes to use only one assessment,it is recommended
 that the final adjudicated reading be used.
