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, noninstitutionalized 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 food 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 al 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 examination giving special attention to specified findings related to nutrition, 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 performed 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 a 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 a 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 protoporphyrin,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 find- ings from the NHANES II survey. Please forward copies to: Division of Health Examination Statistics National Center for Health Statistics Center Building, Room 2-58, 3700 East-West Highway Hyattsville, Maryland 20782EDITING 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 inter- view 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.USE OF SAMPLE WEIGHTS NHANES II uses a multistage sample designed to represent the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States,6 months-74 years of age. Since the sample is not a simple random one, it is necessary to incorporate the person's sample weight for proper analysis of the data.The sample weight is a composite of the individual selection probability, adjustments for nonresponese, and poststratification adjustments. NHANES II provides information on 20,322 interviewed and examined individuals. In addition to the general examination components, several more detailed examinations were performed on subsamples of the population. Therefore, instead of there being one sample weight per person,there are several sample weights for each person. If a person was not selected for a particular subsample, their associated subsample weight is zero. When analyzing the special subsamples, the analyst must be careful to select the appropriate sampling weight from the weights found in tape locations 282-317. For a more complete description of how the sample weights are calculated, see the detailed note section of this documentation.SAMPLE DESIGN, VARIANCE ESTIMATION, AND HYPOTHESIS TESTING The data collected in the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II) were obtained through a complex sample design involving both clustering and stratification.Because of the complex design and the ratio adjustments applied to the sample weights (see previous section on use of sample weights), the direct application of standard statistical analysis methods for variance estimation and hypothesis testing may be very misleading. The modification of statistical analysis procedures to incorporate the effects of complex survey designs is an important area of research;however, the current methodologies appropriate for the analysis of data from such surveys have not been made readily available in the standard packaged statistical software. There are computer programs available which do provide the capability of variance estimation for complex sample designs. The balanced repeated replication approach 1/ is utilized in &REPERR-&PSALMS-OSIRIS.IV 2/ to calculate the variance-covariance matrix.SESUDAAN, SURREGR 3/ and SUPERCARP 4/ are programs that calculate the variance-covariance matrix using the linearization approach 5/ (Taylor series expansion). In order to provide the user with the capability of estimating the complex sample variances in the NHANES II data using the above procedures, we have provided Strata and Pseudo Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) codes on all data tapes in positions 324-326. These variables and the sample weights are necessary for the calculation of variances. Even though the overall number of examined persons in this survey is quite large for statistical inference purposes, subclass analyses can lead to estimaters that are unstable, particularly estimates of variances. Consequently, analyses of subclasses require that the user pay particular attention to the coefficient of variation for the estimates of means, proportions and totals.In addition, small sample sizes, or a small number of PSU's used in the variance calculations may produce unstable estimates of the variances using the above computer programs. An NCHS Series 2 publication discussing these issues is in publication.6/ REFERENCES 1.

(In publication)GENERAL NOTES, DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION, NHANES II 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 NHANES II probability sample. The interviewer subsequently visited the household to ascertain its composition and to administer a questionnaire,the primary purpose of which was to obtain demographic information. The questionnaire was administered to each potential sample person in each household that was available and competent enough to respond to questions.In the event that a potential sample person was not at home at the time of interview, any responsible adult in the household was asked to respond to the questions for the absent person.DEMOGRAPHIC DATA SUMMARY - NHANES II .Tape Positions 1-33 Tape Positions Sample Sequence Number 1- 5 Catalog Number (5371-for Demographic Data only) 6- 9 Data user work area 10 Size of place 11 SMSA-not SMSA 12 Data user work area 13-23 Type of living quarters 24 Land usage 25 If rural, asked does this place have 10 acres or more? 26 If 10 acres or more, asked if in the last 12 months did sales of farm produce and livestock amount to $50 or more? 27 If 10 acres or more, asked to $250 or more? 28 Data user work area 29 Total number of persons in household 30-31 Total number of sample persons in household 32-33 Tape Positions 34-90 Sample Person Data Data user work area 34 Family relationship 35 Data user work area 36 Family unit number 37-41 Data user work area 42-44 Age-months (at interview) 45-46 Age-years (at interview) 47-48 Data user work area 49-50 Date of birth-month 51-52 Date of birth-year 53-54 Sex 55 Race 56 In what state was he/she born? 57-58 Is he/she married, widowed, divorced, separated or never married? 59 Natural origin or ancestry 60-61 Education level 62-63 Grade completed 64 What was he/she doing during most of the past 12 months? 65 What was he/she doing? 66 Did he/she work at a job or business at any time during the past three months? 67 Did he/she work full or part-time when working? 68 Was he/she working within last two weeks not counting work around the house? 69 Even though he/she did not work, does he/she have a job or business? 70 Was he/she looking for work or on layoff from a job? 71 Which, looking for work or on layoff from a job? 72 What kind of industry or business is this? 73- 75 What kind of work was he/she doing? 76- 78 Was he/she in private company or business or individual for wages, salary or commission? 79 Did he/she ever serve in the armed forces of the U.S.? 80 When did he/she serve? 81 Data user work area 82- 90 Tape Positions 91-246 Household Data How many rooms are in this...?

According to the definition used in the 1970 census, the urban population was comprised of all persons living in (a) places of 2,500 inhabitants or more incorporated as cities, boroughs (except Alaska),villages and towns (except towns in New York ,New England States,and Wisconsin),but excluding those persons living in the rural portions of extended cities; (b) unincorporated places of 2,500 inhabitants or more; and (c) other territories included in urbanized areas. 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. SMSA Except in New England,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 1970 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. In New England, SMSA's consist of towns and cities, rather than counties. Family Unit Code All related sample persons in the same family unit have the same computer generated family unit code. This will enable analysis of individual family units. Race The race of the respondent was marked by observation and the interviewers were instructed to assume the race of all related persons was the same as the respondent unless otherwise learned.The race categories were "White","Black" or "Other". If the appropriate category could not be marked by observation, then race was asked. Interviewers were instructed to record persons who responded with something other than White or Black,such as Japanese,Chinese, American Indian, Korean, Hindu, Eskimo, etc., as "Other"; and to include Mexicans,Puert Ricans and other persons of Latin American descent in "White", unless definitely Black, American Indian, or of other non-white race.

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- tion was used in the coding of both the industry and occupation. Library of Congress Number 74-612012.

Family Income Group The respondent was handed a card with 12 income ranges listed as Group A to Group L and asked "Which of these income groups represents your total com- bined family income for the past 12 months,that is,yours, your ...'s, etc? include income from all sources such as wages,salaries,social security or retirement benefits, help from relatives, rent from property and so forth." If the respondent answered Group A through G,that is with an income less than $7,000,then questions 21 and 22 detailing exact sources and amounts of income were asked; otherwise, these questions were skipped. No effort was made to reconcile amounts reported in detailed questions 21 and 22 with the categorical response to the family income group question. During the survey time period, no adjustments to the income groups or $7,000 value were made to account for inflation. Land Land used for farming purposes (Code 1 in Tape Position 207) was identified as being rural land (Code 2 in Tape Position 25) consisting of 10 or more acres (Code 1 in Tape Position 26) with crop sales amounting to $50 or more (Code 1 in Tape Position 27), or rural land (Code 2 in Tape Position 25) consisting of less than 10 acres(Code 2 in Tape Position 26)with crop sales amounting to $250 or more (Code 1 in Tape Position 28).All other land is classified as nonfarm (Code 2 in Tape Position 207). Region The United States was divided into four broad geographic regions of approximately equal population. Those regions, which deviate somewhat from the groups used by the Bureau of Census, are as follows: Region States Included Northeast Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania South Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas Midwest Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri West Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Alaska, Hawaii Poverty Index Income status was determined by the Poverty Income Ratio (PIR). Poverty statistics published in the Census Bureau reports 1-5 were based on the poverty index developed by the Social Security Administration (SSA) in 1964. (For a detailed discussion of the SSA poverty standards, see reference 6.) Modifications in the definition of poverty were adopted in 1969.7 The stand- ard data series in poverty for statistical use by all executive departments and establishments has been established.8 The two components of the PIR are the total income of the household (numera- tors the median of the income group for incomes $7,000 and above; the sum of the porponent parts of the income questions for incomes under $7,000) 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 tables, 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 variations in the cost of living (except for the farm, nonfarm difference).None of the noncash public welfare benefits such as food stamp bonuses are included in the income of the low income families receiving these benefits.PIR has been adjusted by year (see tables) and accounts in some part for inflation. 1 U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 107, "Money Income and Poverty Status of Families and Persons in the United States: 1976" (Advance Report) U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1977. 2 U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 116, "Money Income and Poverty Status of Families and Persons in the United States: 1977" (Advance Report) U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1978. 3 U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 120, "Money Income and Poverty Status of Families and Persons in the United States: 1978" (Advance Report), U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1979. 4 U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 125, "Money Income and Poverty Status of Families and Persons in the United States: 1979" (Advance Report), U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1980. 5 U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-60, No. 127, "MoneyIncome and Poverty Status of Families and Persons in the United States: 1980"(Advance Data from the March 1981 Current Population Survey), U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 1981. 6 Orshansky, M.: "Counting the Poor: Another Look at the Poverty Profile", Social Security Bulletin, January 1965; "Who's Who Among the Poor: A demographic View of Poverty", Social Security Bulletin, July 1965. 7 U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-23, No. 28 "Special Studies", U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., August 12, 1969. 8 Circular No. A-46,Transmitted Memorandum No. 9,Executive Office of the President, Bureau of the Budget, August 29, 1969, and Exhibit L (rev.).

DETAILED NOTES Tape Positions 282-323 A multistage estimation procedure was used to calculate the various NHANES II subsample sample weights that are necessary to use in any analysis of the data.The procedure has three basic components:(1) inflation by reciprocals of the probabilities of selection, (2) adjustment for nonresponse, and (3) poststratification ratio adjustment by age-sex-race. A brief description of each component is as follows: Inflation by reciprocals of the sampling probabilities.Since the survey utilized a three-stage sample design, there were three probabilities of selection: (1) the probability of selecting the PSU,(2) the probability of selecting a segment (housing unit),and (3) the probability of select- ing a sample person. Adjustment for nonresponse. Estimates from the NHANES II data were adjusted to account for sample persons who were not examined. The estimates were inflated by a multiplication factor calculated within five selected income groups, three age groups, four regions, and standard metropolitan statistical area (SMSA) or non-SMSA. The numerator of these factors was the sum of the weights for sample persons resulting from the reciprocal of the probability of selection, and the denominator was the sum of the weights for examined persons also resulting from the reciprocals of the sampling probabilities. Poststratification by age-sex-race. The estimates were ratio adjusted within each of 76 age-sex-race cells to an independent estimate,provided by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, of the population of each cell as of March 1, 1978, (approximate mid-point of the survey). The ratio adjustment was a multiplication factor of which the numerator was the U.S.population and the denominator was the sum of the weights adjusted for nonresponse for examined persons. This ratio estimation process makes the sample more closely representative of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the U.S. Potential bias of nonresponse.Usually a sizeable number of sample persons who initially are willing to complete the household information and some of the medical history questionnaire subsequently will not participate in the examination.This creates the potential for bias if these persons differ from other sample persons with respect to the variables being studied. Intense efforts were undertaken during NHANES II to develop and implement standard procedures and inducements that would reduce the number of nonrespondents and thereby reduce the potential for bias. The user needs to be aware of and should explore the potential bias for nonresponse in any analysis of the NHANES II data. DIETARY INFORMATION As in NHANES I, dietary data were collected using 24-hour recall, 3-month food frequency and dietary supplement forms. Formats of these dietary questionnaires 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 food 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 199 records on this tape are the acceptable FOOD MODELS or combinations of food models used to aid the respondent in recalling amount 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 the 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 times of day to the closest half hour 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 examinations 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 5 have subdivisions for a total of 26 separate categories. Data are intended to reflect usual eating habits of the respondent over the 3 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.

However, there are only 20,322 examined persons, with one or more data records (one for each food item consumed). The demographic information is located in tape positions 1-350 on every data record. However, the tape description for this data shows only the counts for the total number of examined persons rather than the total number of data records. USE OF SPECIAL TERMS, DIETARY DATA 24-Hour Recall--Specific Food Item Data The term "data user work area" refers to blank areas in the data tape which are reserved for the user as needed. The term "blank, but applicable", is used to indicate a data item that was to have a response for a sample person but none was given. The terms "blank" and "Not applicable" refer to data items where the sample person was not supposed to respond to the question or receive the examination component. To more fully understand the questionnaire skip patterns and the categorizations used, see the Plan and Operation of the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey document included with this documentation. All the questionnaires are included in this document.
