 of NHANES II is provided in the following report:  Plan and Operation of the
 Second Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1976-1980, DHHS Pub.No.
 (PHS) 81-1317 Series 1, No.15, Public Health Service, Superintendent of
 Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,Washington,D.C. 20402. The stock
 number is 017-022-00752-5 and the cost is $5.50.  One copy is provided with
 the documentation herein, and a general summary of the data collection
 techniques and content is given in Appendix A.
DESCRIPTION OF POPULATION

 NHANES II was conducted on a nationwide probability sample of approximately
 28,000 persons, ages 6 months-74 years, from the civilian, noninstitutional-
 ized population of the United States. The survey started in February 1976 and
 was completed in February 1980.  The NHANES II sample was selected so that
 certain population groups thought to be at high risk of malnutrition (persons
 with low incomes, preschool children and the elderly) were oversampled.
 Adjusted sampling weights were then computed for 76 age, sex, and race
 categories in order to inflate the sample in such a manner as to closely
 reflect the estimated civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population ages 6
 months-74 years at the midpoint of the survey (March 1, 1978).
DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUES AND CONTENT

 The plan developed with respect to the content of NHANES II called for the
 following:
    A.  Questionnaires completed in the household:
        (1)  Household questionnaire:  For each household member, questions
             referred to family relationships; certain demographic items such
             as age, sex, and race; selected housing information; occupation,
             income, education, veteran status; and an indication of
             participation in food stamp programs.
        (2)  Medical history questionnaires:
             (a)  For each sample person ages 6 months-11 years
                  The questionnaire included items on birth weight,
                  prematurity, congenital conditions, medication, neurological
                  conditions, lead poisoning, accidents, hospital care,
                  disability, diarrhea, pica, vision, and a variety of chronic
                  conditions.  In addition, data were collected on allergies,
                  kidney and bladder disease, anemia, speech and hearing, lung
                  and chest conditions and participation in food programs.
             (b)  For each sample person ages 12-74 years
                  The questionnaire included items on medication; hospital
                  care, tuberculosis;a variety of acute and chronic diseases;
                  tobacco usage, physical activity; weight; height; vision
                  disability, exposure to pesticides; gastrointestinal
                  problems;and for females, a menstrual and pregnancy history.
                  In addition, data were collected on anemia,
                  diabetes, respiratory condition, hearing and speech, liver
                  and gallbladder conditions, kidney and bladder disease,
                  allergies, hypertension, cardiovascular conditions, stroke,
                  arthritis (stressing middle and upper back and neck
                  problems), and participation in food programs.
    Questionnaires and tests administered in the mobile examination center:
        (3)  Dietary Questionnaires
             (a)  For each examined person, a 24-Hour Recall was administered
                  by trained dietary interviewers.  Specific and quantitative
                  detail of every good or drink consumed during the previous
                  day was recorded and calculated, thus providing estimates of
                  calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, unsaturated fats,
                  cholesterol, and specific vitamins and minerals consumed.
             (b)  For each examined person, a Food Frequency interview was
                 administered to ascertain usual patterns of food consumption.
                  Daily and/or weekly consumption of foods within 26 subgroups
                  were recorded.  In addition, data were collected on usual
                  vitamin-mineral supplement usage.
             (c)  For each person ages 12-74 years, a Dietary Supplement form
                  was self-administered and reviewed.  This form provided
                  information on special diets,recent medications and barriers
                  to purchasing groceries or eating foods; it does not provide
                  information on vitamin/mineral or other supplements to the
                  diet.
        (4)  Medication/Vitamin Usage Form provided information on the past
             week's usage of any medicines; vitamins or minerals for all
             examined persons.
        (5)  Behavior Questionnaire elicited data on behavior which may be
             associated with coronary heart disease for examined persons ages
             25-74.
    B.  Examination by physician
        A physician performed and recorded the results of a medical examin-
        nation giving special attention to specific findings related to nutri-
        tion, to ,hearing, to the thyroid gland, and to the cardiovascular,
        respiratory, neurological, and musculoskeletal systems.
    C.  Special clinical procedures and tests
        A specially trained health technician carried out the following on
        examined persons in the designated age ranges:
        (1)  Spirometry trials of examined persons ages 6-24 years, were
             digitized and recorded on magnetic tape.  Various pulmonary
             function indicators such as FVC (forced vital capacity), FEV1
             (forced expiratory volume in one second), and peak flow rate
             were subsequently derived from these data.
        (2)  Electrocardiograms - Electrocardiographic signals of examined
             persons ages 25-74 years were digitized and recorded on magnetic
             tape providing normative data of amplitude, duration, interval,
             and axis measurements and permitting interpretations of heart
             disease according to the Minnesota classification code.
        (3)  Body Measurements were made on all examinees and included
             standing height, body weight, triceps and subscapular skinfolds,
             and several other anthropometric measurements.
        (4)  Puretone audiometry Tests were carried out on examined persons
             between the ages of 4 and 19 years, permitting determination of
             threshold levels of hearing for frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000,
             and 4000 Hertz for right and left ears.
        (5)  Speech recording,involving use of tape recording of the subject's
             repetition of specially developed sentences, was carried out on
             examined persons between the ages of 4 and 6 years, permitting
             interpretations as an indication of problems with articulation
             and language development.
        (6)  Allergy tests,involving skin tests (prick test) with eight common
             allergens (housedust, alternaria, cat fur, dog fur, ragweed, oak,
             rye grass, and Bermuda grass).  The tests were made on examined
             persons between the ages of 6 and 74 years, to obtain degrees of
             skin reaction.
    D.  X-Rays
        For examined persons ages 25-74 years,two x-rays were made.  No x-rays
        were taken of pregnant women and no lumbar x-rays were taken on women
        under 50 years of age.
        (1)  X-ray of cervical and lumbar spine,were taken to provide evidence
             of osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease, and
        (2)  X-ray of chest, to be used in the diagnosis of respiratory
             diseases and to serve as a measure of left ventricular
             enlargement.
    E.  Urine Tests
        Tests as follows were formed on casual samples of urine:
        (1)  N-Multistix tests for qualitative protein, glucose, ketones,
             bilirubin, blood, urobilinogen, pH, and bacteriuria(nitrite test)
             were done for examined persons ages 6-74 years.
        (2)  Urinary sediments, including red cells, white cells, and casts,
             were measured for subsample of examined adults ages 20-74 years.
        (3)  Gonorrhea cultures, of urinary sediments were performed for male
             and female examined persons ages 12-40 years.  However, of those
             females who received the Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) only those
             ages 20-24 years had the gonorrhea test performed.
        (4)  Analyses for pesticide residue and metabolite levels,were carried
             out on a subsample of examined persons ages 12-74 years,including
             measures of the body burdens from exposure to alkyl phosphate
             residues and metabolites, carbamate residues, phenolic compound
             residues, and malathion metabolites.
    F.  Tests on blood samples
        Samples of blood provide broad range of information related to health
        and nutrition. The particular tests performed varied with the specific
        target condition and age group as described in the Series 1, No. 15
        program description (page 39).
        (1)  Glucose tolerance test (GTT)
             This test involved collection of blood specimens while in a
             fasting state as well as at one and two hours after glucose
             challenge.  The test was performed on a specified subsample of
             examined adults to provide estimates of the prevalence of
             diabetes.
        (2)  Tests related to liver function
             (a)  Post-prandial liver bile acid test.  This test measures the
                  ability of the liver to remove bile acids from the blood
                  following consumption of a food preparation which induces
                  eventual addition of bile acids to the blood via contraction
                  of the gallbladder.
             (b)  Liver biochemistries performed include bilirubin, SGOT, and
                  alkaline phosphatase tests.
        (3)  Anemia-related laboratory tests
             The tests made to characterize anemia consisted of protopor-
             phyrin, iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), zinc, copper,
             red cell folates, serum folates, serum ferritin, B12, and the
             determination of abnormal hemoglobin.
        (4)  Other nutritional biochemistries
             These tests include albumin, Vitamin A and Vitamin C.
        (5)  Serum lipids
             Because of their important relevance to cardiovascular disease,
             determinations were made of cholesterol, triglycerides, and high
             density lipoprotein (HDL).
        (6)  Biochemistries for body burden from environmental exposures
             Determinations were made of body burden levels of lead and
             pesticide residues and metabolites.  Tests were also performed
             for carboxyhemoglobin which reflects environmental exposure to
             carbon monoxide and the individual's smoking habits.
        (7)  Hematology
             The hematology included determinations of hemoglobin, hematocrit,
             red blood cell count, white blood cell count and differential
             leukocyte analysis, and red blood cell morphology and hemoglobin
             phenotyping.
        (8)  Kidney function
             The only quantitative test for kidney function performed on blood
             samples was the serum creatinine test.
        (9)  Syphilis
             The serology determinations for syphilis included qualitative and
             quantitative ART, a FTA-ABS and MHA-TP.
USE OF NHANES DATA

 NCHS requests the cooperation of recipients of data tapes in certain actions
 related to their use:

    1.  Any publication based on the data should acknowledge the National
        Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) as the original source.  It should
        include a disclaimer which credits the authors for any analyses,
        interpretations, or conclusions, and not NCHS, which is responsible
        only for the data.
    2.  Consumers who wish to publish a technical description of the data
        should 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.
    3.  The National Center for Health Statistics would appreciate receiving
        reprints of journal articles or other publications based upon findings
        from the NHANES II survey.  Please forward copies to:
              Division of Health Examination Statistics

              3700 East-West Highway
              Hyattsville, Maryland   20782
EDITING OF THE DATA SETS

 The data users' tapes have been subjected to a great deal of careful editing.
 Some of the continuous data items have extremely high or low values and it has
 been verified that they do in fact appear that way on the original interview
 documents; that is, it has been verified that the values have not been
 incorrectly keyed. Within each data tape numerous consistency checks have been
 performed.  However, due to the large volume of data collected in the survey,
 it is likely that a small number of errors or discrepancies remain undetected.
 The Division of Health Examination Statistics, NCHS would appreciate if any
 such errors are detected that they be brought to our attention so that errata
 sheets can be issued to previous purchasers and corrections made if new data
 tapes are created.
GENERAL NOTES, DIETARY DATA

 As in NHANES I, dietary data were collected using 24-hour recall, 3-month food
 frequency and dietary supplement forms. Formats of these dietary quetionnaires
 are found in the NHANES II plan and operation publication included with this
 documentation.  The dietary data are available on four tapes:  (1) the MODEL
 GRAM TAPE, (2) the NUTRIENT COMPOSITION TAPE, (3) the 24-HOUR RECALL--SPECIFIC
 FOOD ITEM TAPE and (4) the TOTAL NUTRIENT INTAKE/FOOD FREQUENCY/AND OTHER
 RELATED DIETARY DATA TAPE.

 Tapes (1) and (2) are the NHANES II dietary data bank, catalog Nos. 5702/5703
 and are available from NTIS (order number PB81232878) at a cost of $185.00.
 They are used in the computer editing and processing of the NHANES II 24-hour
 recall forms.  The public user of these tapes is responsible for the
 development of all software for any similar utilization of these tapes. Unlike
 the NHANES I Model Gram/Nutrient Composition Tapes, catalog nos.4702/4703, the
 dietary data bank used in NHANES II consists of only the foods reported on the
 24-hour recall forms collected during the survey.  An expanded data base was
 available to the dietary interviewers for coding purposes during the
 collection of the data.

 TAPE (1):  MODEL GRAM
         Tape (1) is the first part of a two-part nutrient data bank.  The
         first 119 records on this tape are the acceptable FOOD MODELS or
         combinations of food models used to aid the respondent in recalling
         amounts of foods reported on the 24-hour recall form.  The second
         part of this tape consists of 2605 foods in numeric order with
         designated food group number, food code number, preferred model code,
         appropriate gram conversion factor, and alphameric description.  When
         listed by food group, the MODEL GRAM tape provided the basis for the
         coding manual used by dietary interviewers.  In some instances, more
         than one food was assigned the same food code, but only when the
         nutrient composition for each of the foods was extremely similar.

 TAPE (2):  NUTRIENT COMPOSITION
         Tape (2) provides a nutrient analysis of the 2605 foods found on the
         MODEL GRAM TAPE. Calories and seventeen nutrients per 100 gram edible
         portion are provided for each food.  Nutrient values used to update
         foods on this tape reflect the nutrients available in food between
         1976 and 1980.  These nutrient values were obtained either from the
         manufacturer, or from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's revised
         Handbook No. 8, sections 1-6 and data tape 456-3 (based on USDA
         Agriculture Handbook No. 456).

         For commercial foods that were reported ingested at least twenty
         times, the nutrient values reflect the most appropriate information
         (1980) available from the manufacturer.  If the food company did not
         provide the needed information, nutrient values from other sources
         were used, where possible.  Foods reported fewer than twenty times
         were not updated and may not reflect the most current nutrient
         analysis from the manufacturer.

         Detailed documentation of the NHANES II nutrient data bank update is
         available upon request from the Nutrition Statistics Branch, Division
         Health Examination Statistics, NCHS.

 Tapes (3) and (4) contain the dietary data as collected on the forms, or
 calculated as a result of processing the data using the nutrient data bank.

 TAPE (3):  24-HOUR RECALL--SPECIFIC FOOD ITEM DATA
         Tape (3) contains information on specific food items consumed by (a)
         ingestion period, (i.e., breakfast, lunch, dinner, and between-meal
         foods);(b) the time of day to the closest half hour that the food was
         consumed; (c) the source of intake (i.e., home, school, restaurant);
         and calories and 17 nutrients for each food item contributing to the
         day's total intake.  Information is collected for the period of time
         midnight to midnight preceding the interview and generally reflects
         intakes reported on Mondays through Fridays, excluding most holidays.
         This is a result of the general scheduling of examination on Tuesdays
         through Saturdays.

 TAPE (4):TOTAL NUTRIENT INTAKE/FOOD FREQUENCY/AND OTHER RELATED DIETARY DATA
         The TOTAL NUTRIENT INTAKE section of tape 4 consists of a summation
         of the food-specific nutrient information contained on TAPE (3) for
         calories and 17 nutrients for each respondent.

         The FOOD FREQUENCY section of tape 4 consists of reported frequencies
         of consumption of foods from 18 food groups, of which five have sub-
         divisions for a total of 26 separate categories.  Data are intended
         to reflect usual eating habits of the respondent over the three month
         interval prior to the dietary interview and do not include irregular
         eating habits associated with illness or dieting.  Data reflect
         information on foods consumed daily or weekly, Monday through Sunday,
         and holidays.  This food frequency questionnaire served as a crude
         quality control instrument for the 24 hour recall in addition to
         providing profiles of eating habits.

         OTHER RELATED DIETARY DATA on tape 4 includes information related to
         food consumption habits recorded on the 24-hour recall and dietary
         supplement forms, such as vitamin-mineral usage and special diets.

                                            are abstract visual aids used by
                                            the dietary interviewers to assist
                                            the respondent in remember- ing

        e.g., 00001, 00019, 00509,
        05678, etc.  The total num-
        ber of food codes reported

        using two food models.

        The symbol = is used when the amount of food consumed is larger
        than the first but smaller than the second, i.e., S (6 ounces) =
        A (10 ounces).
