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 28,000 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 popula-
 tion 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;goniome-
 try; spirometry; pulmonary diffusion and tuberculin tests; along with addi-
 tional 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 include also 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 ensure 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

 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 should be brought to our attention
 so that new corrected copies of the tape can be created and errata sheets be
 issued to previous purchasers.

GENERAL NOTES, MODEL GRAM AND NUTRIENT COMPOSITION DATA, HANES I

 Model Gram and Nutrient Composition Tapes:Information on each sample person's
 usual pattern of food intake was obtained during the first National Health
 and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES I) conducted by the National Center
 for Health Statistics from April 1971 through June 1974 on a national proba-
 bility sample of persons 1-74 years of age in the U. S. civilian noninstitu-
 tionalized population.A dietary interview, conducted by professional dietary
 staff, consisted of a 24-hour recall and food frequency questionnaire.The
 dietary data bank and information derived from interviewing techniques are
 available on three sets of data tapes: (1) the Model Gram and Nutrient Compo-
 sition Tapes; (2) the 24-Hour Food Consumption Intake Tape; and (3) the
 Dietary Frequency and Adequacy Tape.

 The Model Gram Tape, which is the first of the HANES I dietary data bank
 tapes, consists of food items in numeric order with designated food group
 numbers, food codes, alphameric descriptions, preferred model codes, and
 their gram conversion factors.  This section is the basis for coding all
 reported food items for the 24-Hour Recall Intake Tape.

 The Nutrient Composition Data Bank Tape is the actual nutrient analysis in
 100 gram edible portions of all codes listed in the Model Gram Section.
 Tape I is essential for recording and analyzing the actual 24-Hour Recall
 Intake data.

 The 24-Hour Recall Intake Tape provides such information as specific food
 items and their quantities ingested for all regular meals,between meal foods
 or snacks consumed on the day, midnight to midnight,preceding the interview
 for each sample person interviewed.

 The first half of the Dietary Frequency and Adequacy Tape consists of the
 food frequency data. The frequency of consumption of foods from 18 groups
 ingested daily and/or weekly in the usual pattern (taken as being that which
 had prevailed over the three-month interval prior to the nutrition interview)
 accounted for all regular meals eaten, as well as for between meal foods or
 snacks, Monday through Sunday, weekends and holidays.  The food frequency
 method served as a quality control technique for the 24-hour recall method of
 obtaining data while depicting diet profiles over a longer period of time.

 The adequacy portion of the tape summarizes the total nutrient intake from
 the 24-hour recall record by selected nutrient for each sample person and
 evaluates that nutrient intake in relation to selected dietary intake stand-
 ards used in HANES I.(These standards were developed with the advice from an
 ad hoc group  which considered standards from the World Health Organization,
 Interdepartmental Committee on Nutrition for the National Defense Manual,the
 Food and Nutrition Board, National Research Council's Recommended Dietary
 Allowances, and those used in the Ten-State Nutrition Survey.)

 Formats of the 24-Hour Recall and the three-month Food Frequency question-
 naires are in the Vital and Health Statistics Series 1, No. 10b.

          tion, packaging and enrichment or
          fortification; e.g., fresh, raw,

          enriched, unenriched, fried, baked,
          broiled, etc.

   75   Type of measure model used when dietary
        interviewer codes the amounts of foods
        the sample person consumed.  The measure
        model and the gram conversion factor in
        columns 76-80 indicates specifically the
        gram equivalent of one ounce for that
        food code.  The first letter of the model
        gram information indicates the preferred
        measure model used when recording quanti-
        ties; e.g., 01 01320 milk, whole, 3.5%
        fat   C00030

        This line of information states that code
        01320 is the code for whole milk in the
        dairy group 01, that C (cups) is the
        preferred measure model, and that one
        fluid ounce of this milk has a gram
        equivalent of 30.  The preferred measure
        models used were:

          C - cup
          W - weight
          U - unit
          X - grams

   75   Continued

        When the letter "C" starts the model
        gram, "C" refers to liquid measure or
        cup measure.  "C" cannot be interchanged
        with a "W" value which refers to weight
        measure or "X" which refers to foods
        only reported in UNITS.  There is one
        exception to the "U" value.  This value
        was also used as a weight measure when
        reporting two pounds of meat or a portion
        thereof.  The "C" Value allows foods to
        be reported in cups, glasses, spoons,
        mounds, or bottles only.  The "W" value
        allows foods to be reported in weights,
        discs, square, pats, and pie models only.

  76-   Gram Conversion Factor or model gram is a
  80    five-digit number which represents the
        gram equivalent of one ounce of that
        particular food code.

DETAILED NOTES, MODEL GRAM AND NUTRIENT COMPOSITION DATA

 Detailed Note #1

 Section A.The first 200 records on the model gram tape contain all model
           codes available to the dietary interviewers for recording the size
           of the edible portion of each food consumed by the sample person.


           1.  The name of each Preferred Model Code (cols. 5-9) includes all
               alphabetic data and sign symbols (+, -, =).  These symbols are
               used whenever the respondent uses two models to describe the
               size serving.  Section B.2.

               = is used when the respondent states the serving size is
               between two models.

               + is used when the respondent ate the equivalent of two models.

               - is used when the respondent served one model and had the
               equivalent of the latter model left over.

           2.  Numeric Equivalent for each Preferred Model Code in ounces
              (cols. 10-13).  All numeric data is in a format as listed in
              Section B.1.

          3.  Type of Measure Model used (cols. 14-15). "C" refers to cup;
              "W" refers to weight; "C" refers to cup or weight; "U" refers
              to unit.  (When Measure Model GM or GMS is used, column 10-13
              and 14-15 are blank.)  Measure models are described in Section
              C.

         4.  For models applied to specific foods, refer to GUIDE FOR USE OF
             FOOD MODELS in Section D.
