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 Opera-
 tion 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
 questionnaire; a general well-being questionnaire; an extended medical exam-
 ination; x-rays of the chest and hip and knee joints; audiometry, electro-
 cardiography; 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 specifica-
 tions 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 ques-
 tionnaire, the primary purpose of which was to obtain demographic informa-
 tion.  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 inter-
 view, 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 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."


 The 1970 census of population Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupa-
 tions was used in the coding of both the industry and occupation.  Library of

 Tape Position 146 - Land
 
 Land used for farming purposes (Code 1 in Tape Position 146) was identified
 as being rural land (Code 2 in Tape Position 13) consisting of 10 or more
 acres (Code 1 in Tape Position 14) with crop sales amounting to $50 or more
 (Code 2 in Tape Position 15), or rural land (Code 2 in Tape Position 13)
 consisting of less than 10 acres (Code 2 in Tape Position 14) with crop
 sales amounting to $250 or more (Code 3 in Tape Position 16).  All Other land
 is classified as nonfarm (Code 2 in Tape Position 146).

 Tape Positions 147-149 - Poverty Index

 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
 twice 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
 
 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 exami-
 nees 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, CARDIOVASCULAR DATA, HANES I

                       Administration and Editing of the
                Health Care Needs, General Medical History and
            Supplements on Respiratory and Cardiovascular Data Tape


 The data on this tape are from five component questionnaires of the Health
 and Nutrition Examination Survey.They are collected on this tape because they
 are additional health histories on the persons in the detailed examination
 sample which is representative of persons aged 25 to 74 in the noninstitu-
 tionalized population of the United States between 1971 and 1975.  These his-
 tories were given only to those in the detailed sample. The first, the Health
 Care Needs Questionnaire, was administered to the sample persons in the Exam-
 ination Center.  The second, the General Medical History, was given in the
 first part of the survey by the Health Examination Representative when she
 visited the sample persons in their homes to elicit their cooperation in the
 survey.  For those in the augmentation survey the General Medical History was
 given by the Census interviewer.  The Sample Person Supplement contained
 questions removed from the Medical History, the General Medical History, and
 some additional questions not asked in the first 65 locations.  The cardio-
 vascular and respiratory supplements were given by the physician at the con-
 clusion of the medical examination to those for whom they were deemed rele-
 vant. The decision of relevance was made by the physician on the basis of
 screening questions in the Medical History and additional probes that the
 physician might ask to clarify the sample person's history.

 The forms on which these histories were recorded were keyed by the Bureau of
 the Census and delivered to the Center on tape.  Center staff have edited the
 data for incomplete or inconsistent responses,out-of-range codes, checked
 skip patterns and verified extreme values, all with reference to microfilm
 records of the original forms when necessary.  Responses to certain ques-
 tions on the Health Care Needs Questionnaire to which a large proportion of
 the respondents answered "other, specify" were coded from the microfilm.
