DEPLQUAD and DEPUQUAD: Upper and lower quadrant periodontal assessment indicators The right and left upper and lower quadrant indicators for the periodontal components were generated by the direct data entry computer program at the beginning of the examination. Therefore, indicators may be present for examinees who did not have measurements or who were edentulous. Note that because the value for the periodontal component is blank, while the quadrant indicators remained set, there will be a discrepancy between these counts. DEPOVB: Occlusal characteristics: overbite (mm) Overbite was calculated by subtraction of overlap from crown height. The exact measurement process is fully described in the Oral Examination Component manual (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). DEPPCFLG: Completion code: pocket assessment See note for DEPCJFLG.

Examinees who were completely edentulous or who otherwise have no valid or useful data have a completion code of "3 Not assessed." DEPSE1-DEPSE28: Sealants The code "2 Not eligible for sealants" was used 1) for certain teeth not shaped to hold preventive sealants and 2) for missing, crowned, or filled teeth. DEPSTCL1, DEPSTCL2, DEPSTCL3, DEPSTCL4, DEPSTCL5, DEPSTCL6: Oral soft tissue lesions: color More than one color could be indicated for each lesion. Each color is a single digit, so multiple digits indicate combinations of colors. To determine what specific colors were present, one must separate character strings into their single characters. DEPSTDX1, DEPSTDX2, DEPSTDX3, DEPSTDX4, DEPSTDX5, DEPSTDX6: Oral soft tissue lesions: clinical diagnosis The "unknown" code represents a specific diagnosis of a lesion that did not fit into any of the named categories. A lesion of "unknown" diagnosis required a clinical description. The "other" codes (46 to 59) include identifiable lesions that were different from soft tissue lesions of interest. During the examination, the dentist wrote in a diagnosis for lesions designated as "other." During data processing the 13 most frequently observed written-in conditions were grouped and coded separately (codes 47-59); the remaining rarer conditions were retained in code 46. DEPSTLC1, DEPSTLC2, DEPSTLC3, DEPSTLC4, DEPSTLC5, DEPSTLC6: Oral soft tissue lesions: locations More than one location could be indicated for each clinical diagnosis. Multiple locations are shown as combined letters and numbers. To determine what specific locations were affected, one must separate character strings into their single characters. DEPTRFLG: Completion code: traumatic injuries This variable was constructed to help the analyst decide whether or not to include an examinee with incomplete or missing data on the traumatic injuries component in the analysis of that component. For examinees who were not in the age range to receive these assessments, the traumatic injuries data and the completion code are blank. Examinees who were completely edentulous or who otherwise have no valid or useful data have a completion code of "3 Not assessed." DEPUQUAD: Upper quadrant periodontal assessment indicator See note for DEPLQUAD. ALLERGY SKIN TEST Allergy skin reactivity testing was conducted on all examinees aged 6-19 years and on a random half-sample of examinees aged 20-59 years by a trained examiner in the mobile examination center (MEC). Before skin testing, screening questions were asked to determine medical safety exclusions. Those excluded from testing were examinees who: usually did not have trouble breathing in their chest or lungs but who were having trouble breathing at the time of the examination (this trouble was NOT due to nasal congestion from a cold), usually had trouble breathing in their chest or lungs and had more trouble breathing at the time of the exam, had a severe response to allergen skin testing previously, or had severe eczema or infection on both arms. Because this examination was administered to a selected subsample in the examination center, the allergy sample weight (WTPFALG6) should be used for data analysis. For more information on the use of sample weights in NHANES III data analysis, refer to the NHANES III Analytic and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). The allergy skin test consisted of the evaluation of immediate hypersensitivity reactions to any of 10 licensed, commercially available, FDA-approved, standardized allergens as well as positive and negative controls. The extracts were indoor allergens (Dermatophagoides farinae (house mite), cat, German cockroach), outdoor allergens (short ragweed, perennial rye, Alternaria alternata, Bermuda grass, Russian thistle, white oak), and a food allergen (peanut). The positive control was histamine, and the negative control was the glycerinated diluent. Examiners prepared fresh allergen solutions upon arrival at each MEC site. Hypersensitivity reactions were evaluated after administering the allergens on an examinee's forearms. Allergens were applied using the prick-puncture technique at 12 skin sites (one for each allergen and the positive and negative controls) determined by a clear, plastic template. The flare and wheal areas were delineated with a marking pen 15 minutes after the skin was punctured and the allergens were applied. The length and width of the flare and wheal were measured with a 100- mm flexible, clear, plastic ruler. Length was defined as the longest diameter of the reaction, and width was defined as the diameter perpendicular to the length at its midpoint. If a reaction had any dimension 3 mm or greater, all four dimensions (length and width of flare and wheal) were measured and recorded. If all four dimensions were less than 3 mm, zeroes were recorded for all the measurements. Confluence was noted for both allergens if two reactions overlapped. For details of the allergy testing protocol, see the Training Manual for Allergy Component (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). The NHANES III allergy skin test was administered by health technicians who were trained to perform the testing. Training occurred before the examination period at special training sessions held at NCHS or at the offices of the contractor responsible for survey operations. The component was monitored on a regular basis by the component consultant, and retraining was conducted annually. In addition to data collection training, the technicians were trained to recognize and respond to generalized hypersensitivity reactions. A physician was in the MEC during all examinations, and drugs for treating systemic allergic reactions were available. Information on respiratory symptoms related to allergies can be found in the Household Adult Data File (for examinees aged 17 years and over) and the Household Youth Data File (for examinees aged 2 months-16 years). The allergen data fields are blank for examinees who were excluded for safety reasons. For those examinees who were eligible for the allergy skin test but for whom allergen data were not collected, the allergen measurement fields have "888 Blank but applicable" values. In most cases, these missing data were due to examinees not participating in the allergy skin test, usually due to time constraints. In other cases, however, data on some but not all allergens were collected. These gaps in the data were due to refusals to continue the testing or to receive specific allergens. All measurements were taken within the acceptable time of 15 plus or minus 5 minutes except for one examinee who was measured at 23 minutes after the administration of the allergens and the controls. Therefore, the variables indicating the minutes from administration to reading for each allergen were not included on this data file. Data processing and editing were performed to ensure internal data consistency.

Examiner number 1 placed the allergens, and examiner 2 measured the reactions. AUDIOMETRY Pure tone air conduction audiometric threshold testing was conducted on all examinees aged 6-19 years by a trained examiner in a soundproof room in the mobile examination center (MEC). Before threshold testing, a screening questionnaire was administered to determine the need for test exclusions and to assess factors that might affect test results. Examinees who reported having ear drainage (AUPA10) were excluded from air conduction testing on the ear(s) with drainage. Because this examination was administered in the mobile examination center, the MEC examination sample weight (WTPFEX6) should be used for data analysis. For more information on the use of sample weights in NHANES III data analysis, refer to the NHANES III Analytic and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). Threshold testing was conducted on both ears of examinees at seven frequencies (500, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6000, and 8000 Hertz (Hz)). The valid range for air conduction threshold values was determined by the effective range of the audiometers (Grason-Stadler, Inc., Model GSI 16, Littleton, MA), which was from -20 to 105 dumbbells (dB). Observed values were between -10 and 100 dB. If an examinee did not respond to the signal tone at any level for one or more frequencies and a comment by the examiner indicated known deafness or severe hearing loss, a threshold level of 105 dB was entered. In accordance with the testing protocol, a retest with masking occurred if an examinee had air conduction threshold value(s) at a given frequency that differed by 40 dB or more between both ears. If the lack of response was unilateral with a threshold value of 65 dB or lower for the other ear, a threshold value of 105 dB was entered for the relevant retest with masking value(s). Before the examinations began at each MEC site, a field output calibration check was performed, and an environmental noise survey was conducted. The audiometer was rechecked weekly, and during examination periods, the tone quality, masking tone quality, hearing level controls, and earphones were checked daily. If a unit did not meet specifications, it was sent for service, and a backup unit was used for examinations. Additionally, laboratory calibration on each unit was performed approximately twice a year. For details of these procedures, analysts should consult the Audiometry and Tympanometry Manual (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). Air conduction threshold testing alone is not sufficient to fully characterize hearing loss; it only provides information on the severity and the frequencies affected. Because of this, tympanic membrane compliance also was measured to help determine the nature of any hearing loss observed in the audiometry data. Analysts should refer to the Tympanometry section of the Examination Data File for information on this aspect of hearing testing. In addition, questions on hearing status including ear infection history and the use of hearing aids can be found in the Household Youth Data File (2 months- 16 years of age). The audiometry consultant provided extensive training to examiners at their time of hire, and each examiner's performance was monitored on a periodic basis. Audiometry and tympanometry were priority components at three of four annual MEC team retrainings. Data processing and editing were performed to ensure internal data consistency. Notes have been provided for variables requiring additional explanation.

III Examination Data File ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK NOTES AUPA10: Drainage/discharge from either ear? Examinees who reported having ear drainage were excluded from air conduction testing on the ear with drainage and from tympanic membrane compliance testing on both ears. Threshold value fields for excluded ears are blank. Tympanometry data fields for excluded examinees are blank. AUPA9: Tube in right or left ear? Examinees who reported having a tube in either or both ears were excluded from tympanic membrane compliance testing. However, air conduction threshold testing was performed if there was no report or evidence of drainage (AUPA10). Tympanometry data fields for excluded examinees are blank. AUPAUDO2 and AUPB1C1-AUPB1C8, AUPB2C1-AUPB2C8: Retest information When examinees had air conduction threshold values at a given frequency that differed by 40 dB or more between the left and right ears, the ear with the higher threshold value(s) was retested while a masking sound was introduced into the other ear. In cases for which a retest was indicated but for which no retest data existed, the relevant variables were coded "Blank but applicable." If no threshold value differences of 40 dB or more were observed, these variables are blank. TYMPANOMETRY Tympanic membrane compliance was tested for all examinees aged 6-19 years by a trained examiner in a soundproof room in the mobile examination center (MEC). A screening questionnaire administered before audiometry testing also determined tympanometry test exclusions and can be used to assess factors that might have affected tympanometry results. If an examinee reported that either ear had a tube (AUPA9) or drainage (AUPA10), tympanometry was not performed, and all tympanometry variables are blank. Analysts should refer to the Audiometry section of the examination data file for information on the screening questionnaire. In addition, questions on hearing status, including ear infection history and the use of hearing aids, can be found in the Household Youth Data File (ages 2 months-16 years). Because this examination was administered in the mobile examination center, the MEC examination sample weight (WTPFEX6) should be used for data analysis. For more information on the use of sample weights in NHANES III data analysis, refer to the NHANES III Analytic and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). The tympanometer (Model TA-7A Automatic Impedance Meter, Teledyne Avionics, Charlottesville, VA) produced a paper tympanogram output and was connected to a personal computer for electronic data collection. Tympanometer function was checked daily. If a unit did not meet specifications, it was sent for service, and a backup unit was used for examinations. Laboratory calibration on each unit was performed approximately twice a year. For details of equipment maintenance procedures, analysts should consult the Audiometry and Tympanometry Manual (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). Training for tympanometry was combined with that for audiometry. At the time of hire, examiners received extensive instruction from the audiometry consultant, and the examiners' performance was monitored on a periodic basis. Hearing evaluation, which included audiometry and tympanometry, was a priority component at three of four annual MEC team retrainings. The variables containing equivalent volume at various pressures (TYPC000L-TYPC120L, TYPC000R-TYPC120R) can be used to create tympanogram plots of compliance as a function of pressure. To do so, the analyst must rearrange the data to have 121 observations per examinee (one for each pressure value at which compliance was determined from -400 to 200 daPa in 5 daPa increments) and create a variable to record the associated pressure values. An example of SAS programming code to perform this rearrangement is included in the note for TYPC000L-TYPC120L and TYPC000R-TYPC120R. This data file includes 242 variables with equivalent volume data for pressure values between -400 and 200 daPa. Many examinees have data for pressure values of -200 daPa or greater but have no data (blanks) for pressure values from -400 to -205 daPa. This is due to variability in a software setting on the tympanometer that toggled an option for continuing readings to -400 daPa or stopping the pressure at -200 daPa if a compliance peak occurred before -175 daPa. There are data for pressures between -400 and -205 daPa for 1156 left ear observations and 1166 right ear observations. Of these observations with data for pressures lower than -200 daPa, only 192 left ear observations and 200 right ear observations had pressure at peak compliance values of -175 daPa or lower. When plotting tympanogram data, analysts may want to include data points for pressure values between -400 and -205 daPa. However, in most cases, this pressure range will not add useful tympanogram information. Early in the survey, electronic data collection was not fully operational, and sporadic equipment problems led to data loss throughout the survey. In these cases, the tympanogram data points (TYPC000L-TYPC120L, TYPC000R-TYPC120R) are not available. However, the values for peak compliance (TYPCMPLL, TYPCMPLR), pressure at peak compliance (TYPPRSPL, TYPPRSPR), canal volume (TYPVOLL, TYPVOLR), and acoustic reflex (TYPRFXL, TYPRFXR) were entered into the data from the hard copy tympanograms if they were available. Data processing and editing were performed to ensure internal consistency of data. Notes have been provided for variables requiring additional explanation.

This represents a variation from the usual NHANES test protocol, in which tests are conducted based on the age at the time of the household interview, rather than on the age at the time of the MEC examination. The protocol for this component did not detail any medical, safety or other exclusions. Because these tests were administered in the mobile examination center (MEC), the MEC examination sample weight (WTPFEX6) should be used for data analysis. For more information on the use of sample weights in NHANES III data analysis, refer to the NHANES III Analytic and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). Cognitive function was evaluated using parts of two tests, the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) and the Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised (WRAT-R). Two subtests of the WISC-R test, a verbal component (Digit Span) and a performance exam (Block Design), were administered and are considered relatively culturally unbiased (Kaufman, 1979). In addition, two subtests of the WRAT-R test, math and reading, were conducted. The WISC-R test was administered first and was followed by the WRAT-R. The scores for all four subtests used a common scale and were derived for each child relative to his/her age group based on test-specific standardization samples created by the test developers (Wechsler, 1974; Jastak, 1984; Kramer, 1995). At the time of hire, MEC interviewers were trained to conduct the WISC/WRAT examination. During annual site visits, test administration was evaluated, and re-training took place. To increase the number of evaluated examination administrations with minimum intrusion and after obtaining informed consent from the examinees or their guardians, sessions were audio-taped and reviewed for protocol adherence. Feedback was provided to the interviewers after review of the taped sessions. An automated data collection system ensured that responses obtained were within acceptable ranges. Consequently, minimal data processing and editing were required. Notes have been provided for standardized and recoded variables and for variables requiring additional explanation. Conducting only a portion of each of the WISC-R and WRAT-R tests with children in NHANES III limits data interpretation. For example, an Intelligence Quotient (IQ) cannot be calculated for an individual using the WISC-R results from NHANES III because only certain subtests were administered. The complete WISC-R examination is comprised of twelve components, six verbal and six performance modules. An IQ can be calculated only when ten of the twelve verbal and performance elements are administered. Similarly, the WRAT-R test administered in NHANES III omitted a spelling section and is, therefore, incomplete. For additional information on the tests, refer to the Manual for the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (Wechsler, 1974) and the Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised Administration Manual (Jastak, 1984).

This variable represents the scaled score for the reading test and allows comparison between the WRAT-R and WISC-R exams. WWPRSSR: Reading standardized score See note for WWPMSSR. SPIROMETRY Lung function testing (spirometry) was conducted on examinees aged eight years and older by a trained technician in the mobile examination center (MEC). It also was conducted at the home of examinees aged 60 and over who were unwilling or unable to come to the MEC. Before testing, screening questions were asked to determine medical safety exclusions. Those excluded from testing were examinees who had undergone chest or abdominal surgery within three weeks or had experienced heart problems (myocardial infarction or heart attack, angina or chest pain, congestive heart failure) within six weeks before the MEC exam. To determine which subjects were home examinees, the DMPSTAT variable (3=home-examined) should be used. When analyzing data for combined home-examined and MEC-examined subjects, the combined MEC- plus home-examined sample weights should be used (WTPFHX6). When using only MEC items or measures, the MEC examination sample weights should be used (WTPFEX6). For more information on the use of sample weights in NHANES III data analysis, refer to the Analytic and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). Spirometry is a widely used test of lung function that measures both the volume of air in the lung and how quickly a person can move the air out of the lung. A testing session consisted of repeated forced vital capacity (FVC) maneuvers. Each maneuver required the examinee to take the deepest possible breath and exhale into a spirometer as hard, fast, and completely as possible. The spirometer recorded the volume of air exhaled as a function of time from which a number of parameters were measured. Each examinee attempted to perform at least five FVC maneuvers. The testing procedure was explained and demonstrated to each examinee by a spirometry technician. The computer provided immediate feedback on the examinee's effort, and the technician used that information to actively coach the examinee through each trial. For a maneuver to be acceptable, it had to be a maximal exhalation free from a cough, excessive hesitation, a leak, an obstructed mouthpiece, variable effort, or early termination. An additional goal was that the examinee have a sufficient number of trials to demonstrate that the FVC and forced expiratory volume(FEV1) values were reproducible. Aside from using a different type of spirometer flow-type (see SPPTYPE) in home examinations, technicians used procedures comparable to those used in the MEC. Therefore, the home spirometry values were incorporated into the MEC spirometry measures data set. Refer to the Spirometry Examination Manual (U.S. DHHS, 1996b) and the Home Exam Manual (U.S. DHHS, 1996b) for descriptions of data collection procedures and methods. Testing procedures met the recommendations of the American Thoracic Society (American Thoracic Society, 1987). The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) served as the spirometry quality control center. Each spirometry technician received at least one week of formal training and satisfactorily completed a NIOSH-approved course on spirometry. Additionally, spirometry data were reviewed by the quality control center at the completion of each location, and technicians received continuous feedback on their performance. Data processing and editing were performed to ensure internal data consistency. Notes have been provided for variables requiring additional explanation.

SPPFEF75: Flow at 75% of FVC (ml/second) This was the flow rate (ml/second) at 75% of the FVC. Values were obtained from the "best curve" or the curve with the largest sum of FEV1 plus FVC. SPPFEV05: Forced expiratory volume (FEV) at 0.5 seconds (ml) The volume (ml) of air exhaled during the first 0.5 second of a forced vital capacity maneuver. The volume reported is the largest volume achieved from all acceptable FVC maneuvers. SPPFEV1: Forced expiratory volume at 1 second (ml) The volume (ml) of air exhaled during the first second of a forced vital capacity maneuver. The volume reported is the largest volume achieved from all acceptable FVC maneuvers. SPPFEV3: Forced expiratory volume at 3 seconds (ml) The volume (ml) of air exhaled during the first three seconds of a forced vital capacity maneuver. The volume reported is the largest volume achieved from all acceptable FVC maneuvers. SPPFEV6: Forced expiratory volume at six seconds (ml) The volume (ml) of air exhaled during the first six seconds of a forced vital capacity maneuver. The volume reported is the largest volume achieved from all acceptable FVC maneuvers. SPPFVC: Forced vital capacity, largest value (ml) The total volume (ml) of air exhaled during a forced vital capacity maneuver. The volume reported is the largest volume achieved from all acceptable FVC maneuvers. SPPMANEU: Number of acceptable trials The number of FVC maneuvers that met the ATS acceptability criteria. SPPMMEF: Maximum mid-expiratory flow (ml/second best curve) The mean forced expiratory flow during the middle half of the FVC maneuver. Values were obtained from the "best curve" defined as the curve with the highest sum of FVC and FEV1. SPPPEAK: Peak expiratory flow (ml/second) The maximum expiratory flow (ml/sec) observed from all acceptable FVC maneuvers. SPPRELIA: Test evaluation All tests were reviewed by two senior quality technicians at the spirometry quality control center and classified for reliability. Tests deemed unreliable should not be used because the quality technicians determined that the results were of insufficient quality to be usable. SPPREPRO: Reproducibility code In accordance with ATS guidelines, all unacceptable maneuvers were excluded before the reproducibility calculations were performed. The goal during test performance was to obtain a reproducible FVC (largest FVC and second largest FVC within 5%) and a reproducible FEV1 (largest FEV1 and second largest FEV1 within 5%). The reproducibility code indicates whether a reproducible FVC and/or FEV1 was obtained. SPPTEMP: Spirometer internal temperature (Celsius) This was the internal temperature inside the spirometer measured at the end of the FVC maneuver. SPPTRIAL: Number of forced vital capacity (FVC) trials attempted This was the total number of forced vital capacity maneuvers attempted by the sample person. SPPTYPE: Spirometer type Four different types of spirometers were used; one type was used in MEC spirometry exams, and three different types were used in home spirometry exams. The MEC spirometers (type=1) were customized, Ohio 822 or 827, dry, rolling-seal spirometers and were interfaced to a microcomputer. For home spirometry, the three types of flow spirometers used were: MultiSpiro (type=2), Riko model AS-600 (type=3), and NIOSH (type=4). The MultiSpiro- and Riko-brand spirometers produced paper tracings with digital readings of FVC and FEV1. These spirometers provided neither quality assessments of the subject's effort nor some of the spirometry variables measured in the MEC. The NIOSH flow spirometer measured all of the parameters measured by the MEC spirometer and provided a display of the subject's flow-volume curve with a computer-determined quality assessment equivalent to the assessment provided by the spirometer used in the MEC. MEC YOUTH QUESTIONNAIRE (Except DIS) The MEC Youth Questionnaire was administered to examinees aged 8-16 years in the mobile examination center (MEC). Conducted by a trained interviewer, the automated questionnaire was administered in a private setting to ensure confidentiality due to the sensitive nature of some of the sections. The questionnaire included sections on physical activity, tobacco use, reproductive health, selected conditions, medicine/vitamin usage, food frequency, alcohol/drug use, and the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS). Because this component was administered in the examination center, the MEC examination sample weight (WTPFEX6) should be used for data analysis. For more information on the use of sample weights in NHANES III data analysis, refer to the NHANES III Analytic and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). Several portions of the questionnaire were asked only of specific age or gender groups, and check items are included as variables in this file to indicate these subgroups. For example, reproductive health was asked of boys aged 15-16 years and girls aged 10-16 years. Medicine/vitamin use, food frequency, and alcohol/drug use were asked of boys and girls aged 12-16 years. The DIS was asked of adolescents aged 15-16 years. The DIS was edited and documented separately (see Diagnostic Interview Schedule). A subset of questions from the MEC Youth Questionnaire were administered as the MEC Proxy Questionnaire to the parents or guardians of children aged 2 months-11 years. Questions on medicine, vitamin, and mineral usage, selected health conditions, and WIC program participation from the two questionnaires can be combined for an analysis of youths 2 months-16 years of age (see MEC Proxy Questionnaire). Data processing and editing were performed for consistency of responses within the sections of the questionnaire. Notes have been provided for variables that were standardized or recoded or those that require additional comments. The notes reference the questions, by section and number, from the questionnaires which can be found in the Plan and Operation of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-1994 (NCHS, 1994; U.S. DHHS, 1996b).

The actual number of cigarettes smoked per day and a range of cigarettes smoked per day were the allowable answers. The variable includes the mean number of cigarettes smoked per day derived from the range as well as the actual number of cigarettes smoked per day. MYPB7R: Years smoked this amount in MYPB6R This variable was created from the question B7 when the data were not missing. If B7 was missing, this variable used the estimated number of years the respondent smoked the amount reported in B6. The number was derived by subtracting the age that the respondent started smoking regularly from the age at the MEC interview. MYPB9S: Number of cigarettes per day when smoked the most This variable was created from the two-part question (quantity and unit) B9 using the conversion factor 20 cigarettes/pack. MYPB13S: Number of cigarettes per day usually smoked when youth smoked regularly This variable was created from the two-part question (quantity and unit) B13 using the conversion factor 20 cigarettes/pack. MYPB21AS: Number of containers of chewing tobacco used per week This variable was created from the two-part question (quantity and unit) B21 using the conversion factor seven containers/week. MYPB21CS: Number of containers of snuff used per week This variable was created from the two-part question (quantity and unit) B21 using the conversion factor seven containers/week. MYPC7S: Months since stopped taking birth control pills This variable was created from the two-part question (quantity and unit) C7 using the conversion factor 12 months/year. MYPC8S: Total number of months took birth control pills This variable was created from the two-part question (quantity and unit) C8 using the conversion factor 12 months/year. MYPC9R: Birth control pills codes This recode was derived to include a listing of all birth control pills that were specified in question C9. It includes both birth control pills with original codes from the chart that the respondents were shown as well as those that were not included on the chart but that were specified by the respondents. See the Appendix in the MEC Adult Questionnaire for the code listing. MYPC13R: Age at time of first live birth Question C13 (age at time of first live birth) was only asked of women who had more than one live birth. To prevent redundant questions, women who had one live birth were only asked question C14, "Age at the time of the last live birth." This variable, MYPC13R, was created to include responses for women who had only one live birth and women who had multiple births. For women who had only one live birth, their responses to question C14 were coded into MYPC13R. For women who had multiple births, their responses to question C13 were coded into MYPC13R. MYPC23S: Number of months received WIC benefits This variable was created from the two-part question (quantity and unit) C23 using the conversion factor 12 months/year. MYPC27R: Ever had sexual intercourse This variable was derived from questions C10 and C27. Respondents who reported a pregnancy (question C10) were not asked whether they had ever had sexual intercourse (question C27) as the response was implicit. Therefore, MYPC27R was coded as "Yes" for respondents who reported a pregnancy in C10 and coded as the response in C27 for all other respondents. MYPC28: Age at first sexual intercourse The question did not ask about first consensual sexual experience. Therefore, responses of first intercourse at very young ages were retained after reviewing comments made during the interview (e.g., reports of rape or incest). MYPF3S: Number of days drank alcohol in past year This variable was created from the two-part question (quantity and unit) F3 using the conversion factors 7 days/week, 30.4 days/ month, and 365 days/year. MYPF5S: Number of days drank nine or more drinks of alcohol in past year This variable was created from the two-part question (quantity and unit) F5 using the conversion factors 7 days/week, 30.4 days/month, and 365 days/year. MYPF6S: Number of days drank five or more drinks of alcohol in past year This variable was created from the two-part question (quantity and unit) F6 using the conversion factors 7 days/week, 30.4 days/month, and 365 days/year. DIETARY FOOD FREQUENCY QUESTIONNAIRE (AGES 12-16 YEARS) The Dietary Food Frequency questionnaire was administered to youths aged 12-16 years in the mobile examination center (MEC). Respondents were asked how often over the past month they had eaten specified food items. The foods were listed in groups, targeting those high in vitamins A and C and calcium. Respondents reported their consumption as the number of times per day, per week, per month, or never. It is important to note that portion sizes were not defined, and responses represent "number or times" as determined by the respondent. The questionnaire was identical to the food frequency section of the Household Adult Questionnaire administered to adults aged 17 years and above (see Adult Household Data File). MEC examination weights (WTPFEX6) should be used for analysis of the youth Dietary Food Frequency (Ages 12-16 years). The interview weights (WTPFQX6), however, should be used when analyzing the adult food frequency data. For more information on the use of sample weights in NHANES III data analysis, refer to the NHANES III Analytic and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). Data processing and editing were performed for consistency of responses within the sections of the questionnaire. As part of the editing process, the frequency of consumption of food items was standardized to the number of times consumed per month. Notes have been provided for variables that were standardized or recoded or that require additional comments.

If the frequency of consumption was reported as "never," the value was recorded as zero. FFP1D1: Usual type of milk consumed Only usual milk consumed was recorded here. If more than one milk type was reported as "usual," the first milk reported was recorded. Guidelines based on fat content were developed in order to recode other milks that were reported but not listed and to create new categories. Codes/recodes Reported usual milk 01 (whole/regular milk) goat's milk 02 (2%/low fat) 03 (1% milk) acidophilus milk; lactose-reduced milk 04 (skim/nonfat milk) hot chocolate mix; powdered milk; 0.5% milk 05 (buttermilk) 06 (evaporated) 07 (other not specified) 11 half and half/cream FFP8AFC: New codes for other foods not listed Respondents also were asked about other foods not listed in the food frequency questionnaire. Responses to this question from both the adult and the youth food frequency questionnaires were edited by first determining whether the food could be coded back into an existing category. When possible, the frequency of consumption of that food was added to the original response for the pre-existing category. If the original response was "Never consumed," then the consumption frequency for the "Other food not listed" replaced the original response. Foods that were reported using frequency units were first converted to a common unit; the frequencies were summed to produce whole number estimates. For example, if the reported frequency for the category "Other vegetables" was once per day and asparagus consumption once per week was reported for "other food not listed," then the frequency for asparagus consumption was added to the frequency of the "Other vegetables" category and recalculated as a consumption of eight per week. When it was not possible to recode a response, a determination was made about whether a new category should be created based on the reported frequency of the food or whether the food represented an important source of a specific nutrient. The following eight new food groups were defined: 01 Egg substitutes 02 Decaffeinated coffee and espresso 03 Decaffeinated/herbal tea 04 Sports drinks, fruit drinks (excluding juices but including tamarind drinks), and popsicles 05 Water, including tap, mineral, spring, seltzer, soda 06 Soy products, including tofu, soy milk, soy ice cream, soy cheese, soy hamburgers, soy hot dogs, soy flour, and textured vegetable protein 07 Non-alcoholic beer/wine 08 Others not specified or not elsewhere classified, including diet, breakfast, and nutrition drinks, pudding, condiments, sour or whipped cream, granola bars, and gelatin DIAGNOSTIC INTERVIEW SCHEDULE (DIS) The mental health component of NHANES III included the depression and mania modules from the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS) originally developed for the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) program. Trained interviewers administered the NHANES III DIS questions in the MEC, using automated data entry, as part of the MEC Youth Questionnaire for examinees 15-16 years of age and as part of the MEC Adult Questionnaire for examinees 17-39 years of age. The data from the DIS permit diagnoses based on the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM- III). The final MEC examination weight (MTPFEX6) should be used for analysis of the questionnaires and measurements administered in the MEC, as well as for a combined analysis of measurements from the MEC examinations and associated medical history questions from the household interview. The household questionnaire data files include information on survey design and basic demographic variables which may be linked to the examination data file by using the unique survey participant identifier SEQN. For more information on the use of sample weights in NHANES III data analysis, refer to the NHANES III Analytic and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b). The DIS is a complicated questionnaire with a number of parallel series of questions and many skip instructions. The notes below describe these question series and skip patterns, and analysts are instructed to carefully read these notes in their entirety in order to facilitate analysis of this data. The Plan and Operation of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-94, page 362, (NCHS, 1994; U.S. DHHS, 1996b) contains a flow chart of the probe questions and skips from the DIS. All variable names in the DIS portion of the MEC interviews start with the prefix MQP. The M indicates that it came from the MEC interview, the Q indicates that the data transcend the boundaries of separate adult (A) and youth (Y) interviews (sample persons ranged from ages 15-39) and the P indicates the data came from the primary interview. Any sample person who was age 15 to 39 was eligible to receive this section of the adult or youth MEC questionnaire. A sample person who was not eligible to receive this section of the questionnaire will have all blanks in this section. Note that selected questions may be blank in the DIS section if the question was not applicable for the sample person to answer because of answers they had given to other questions. Also note that many of the questions have combined the "Don't know" and "No" category into a single response and this combination will vary per question in the DIS section. Approximately 3.7% (322/8773) of the NHANES III sample did not have valid depression and mania sections of the questionnaire, with an additional 18 or 0.2% missing all or part of one section or the other. The major reasons for these missing data are that respondents: 1) ran out of time, 2) felt the material was too sensitive, usually because they were using an interpreter, 3) had comprehension problems due to cognitive impairment, 4) primary language was not English or Spanish, or 5) refused to answer or were not asked critical questions. All of the questions for these sample persons were coded "Blank but applicable."

There were 41 adults and 32 youth where this change was made in the study. Most Hispanic youth spoke English fluently enough that a Spanish translation was not necessary, therefore, no computerized version of the youth interview was available in Spanish. It was only given on hard copy. MQPDLANG was set to 4, Spanish Youth, only if the variable DMAETHNR was greater than or equal to 3 and MQPLANG was equal to 3, and the examination was given on hard copy (MQPHCFLG=1) or a specific comment was made that indicates the interview was given in Spanish. MQPDPFLG, MQPMNFLG: Depression and mania completeness flags When a code of "1" is given to the depression (MQPDPFLG) or mania (MQPMNFLG) completeness flag, the respondent only answered the lifetime symptom questions (16 for depression and 9 for mania) and any appropriate probe questions. It was then determined in MQPG21, a check item, that there were not enough positive symptom groups to continue asking questions (MQPG21=3 or MQPG50=3 for depression and mania, respectively). The diagnosis of major depressive episode (MQPDEP) or manic episode (MQPMANIA), respectively, is set to "No." When a code of "2" is given to the depression (MQPDPFLG) or mania (MQPMNFLG) completeness flag, the respondent answered not only the lifetime symptom questions (16 for depression and 9 for mania) and any appropriate probe questions but also one or more of the questions concerning clustering of the positive symptom groups. These sample persons can skip out of the section at several different points, but they never answer questions past MQPG26 or MQPG55, respectively, and they cannot have a positive diagnosis for major depressive episode (MQPDEP) or manic episode (MQPMANIA). The diagnosis of major depressive episode or manic episode, respectively, is set to "No." When a code of "3" is given to the depression (MQPDPFLG) or mania (MQPMNFLG) completeness flag, the respondent answered not only the lifetime symptom questions (16 for depression and 9 for mania) and any appropriate probe questions but also all the questions concerning clustering of the positive symptom groups and the worst episode. These sample persons should have answers to all questions in their respective sections and have the chance for a positive diagnosis for major depressive episode (MQPDEP) or manic episode (MQPMANIA). The diagnosis of major depressive episode ranges from 1-5 and the diagnosis of manic episode ranges from 1-3. When a code of "4" is given, the lifetime symptoms were completed and the sample person met criteria to continue answering questions (MQPG21=1 or 2), but the remaining section of questions needed to make a diagnosis were not ascertained (blank, but applicable) or were all answered "don't know." This is not the same as MQPG21=3 or MQPDPFLG=1 where sample persons only answered the lifetime symptom questions because they did not have enough positive symptoms to qualify to answer the remaining questions. When a code of "5" is given, the depression and/or mania section should have been given, but was not, so all fields are filled with 8's (blank but applicable). Lastly, a blank in this field indicates the sample person was not in the acceptable age range and was not eligible for the depression or mania questions. In short, the flags divide the data into five groups: 1. Lifetime symptoms answered, insufficient number positive to ask clustering questions 2. Sufficient lifetime symptoms present but do not cluster in spells of sufficient duration 3. Sufficient lifetime symptoms present and cluster in spells of sufficient duration, and may or may not meet criteria for positive diagnosis 4. Sufficient lifetime symptoms present but no information available if cluster in spells of sufficient duration - missing diagnosis 5. No informatio
