Obtaining NCHS Public Use Data Tapes Public use data tapes from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) for all NHANES II components will be released as soon as the data have been compiled and documented. NHANES II data tapes are available for purchase from: National Technical Information Service (NTIS) 5285 Port Royal Road Springfield, Virginia 22161 (703) 487-4650 A list of NCHS public use data tapes that can be purchased from NTIS can be obtained from: Scientific and Technical Information Branch National Center for Health Statistics Center Building, Room 1-57 3700 East-West Highway Hyattsville, Maryland 20782 (301) 436-8500 Use of NCHS Data Tapes The National Center for Health Statistics requests the cooperation of recipients of data tapes in certain actions related to their use. Any publication based on the data should acknowledge 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. Users who wish to publish a technical description of the data should make a reasonable effort to insure that the description is consistent with that published by NCHS. This does not mean, however, that NCHS will review such descriptions. NCHS would appreciate receiving reprints of journal articles or other publications based upon findings from the NHANES II survey. Please send them to the address below. The data tapes have been carefully edited. Some of the continuous data items have extremely high or low values. It has been verified that the values appear that way on the original interview documents; that is, it has been verified that the values have not resulted from incorrect keypunching. 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. NCHS would like to be informed if any such errors are detected so that errata sheets can be issued to previous purchasers and corrections made to the new data tape, if appropriate.

Data were collected through response to questionnaires on medical history, food consumption, and health-related behavior. Data also were collected through direct medical examination. The tape documented here contains demographic data and behavior questionnaire data from the survey for persons 25 through 74 years of age. A detailed description of the design, content, questionnaires, and operation of NHANES II is provides in the following report: Plan and Operation of the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1976-1980, DHHS Pub. No. (PHS) 81- 1317, Vital and Health Statistics Series 1, No. 15, Public Health Service, available at cost from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. The stock number is 017-022-00752-5. One copy is provided with the documentation herein, and a general summary of the data collection techniques and content is given in the Appendix.POPULATION DESCRIPTION Target Population: NHANES II was conducted on a nationwide probability sample of approximately 28,000 persons 6 months through 74 years of age 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 to inflate the sample in such a manner as to closely reflect the estimated civilian, noninstitutionalized U.S. population 6 months through 74 years of age at the midpoint of the survey (March 1, 1978).METHODS Sample Design and Recommendations for Analysis NHANES II uses a multistage sample designed to represent the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States, 6 months through 74 years of age. Since the sample is not a simple random one and certain population groups were oversampled, 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 nonresponse, and poststratification adjustments. NHANES II provides information on 20,322 individuals who were both interviewed and examined, and on another 4,964 individuals who were interviewed but not examined, in the age range 6 months through 74 years of age. 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. For a person not selected for a particular subsample, the 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. This file contains data on all 10,450 examined persons 25 through 74 years of age. The NHANES II data were collected using a complex sample design involving both clustering and stratification. Because of the complex design and the ratio adjustments applied to the 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. Variance Estimation There are computer programs available which provide the capability of variance estimation for complex sample designs. The balanced repeated replication approach 1 is utilized in &REPERR &PSALMS to calculate the variance- covariance matrix. Both routines are available within the OSIRIS IV library.2 SURREGR3 and SUPERCARP4 are programs that calculate the variance-covariance matrix using the linearization approach5 (Taylor series expansion). Another program, SESUDAAN,6 calculates variances and design effects. SURREGR and SESUDAAN are special procedures for the SAS package, which is available from SAS Institute, Box 8000, Carey, N.C., 27511. In order to provide the user with the capability of estimating the complex sample variances in the NHANES II data using the above procedures, Strata and Pseudo Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) codes have been provided 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 estimators 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 publication discusses these issues and describes analytic strategies for examining various hypotheses for the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II), which used a similar type of complex sample design.7 Demographic Data Collection 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, select the sample person(s), and administer demographic and medical history questionnaires. Demographic information relating to the household, the housing unit, and each sample person 6 through 11 years of age was obtained from an available and competent household respondent. (In contrast, the preferred respondent for the medical information for persons 12 through 74 years of age was the actual sample person, with proxy response accepted when the sample person was not available.) Behavior Questionaire Data Collection Tape users are referred to NCHS publications of data collection manuals, part 15a (8) and the complete operational manual for NHANES II (9). Use of Special Terms For demographic data, the term "blank but applicable," is used to indicate a data item that was to have a response for a sample person but for which no usable data were provided. This includes unanswered data fields, as well as those containing impossible entries: i.e., out-of-range or inconsistent with other entries. The term "blank" refers to data items where the sample person was not supposed to respond to the question. The notation "see detailed note" is intended to refer the user to the section Detailed Notes. In this section, a comprehensive description of the field is given.

According to the definition used in the 1970 census, the urban population comprised 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. Tape Position 12 - SMSA - Not 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.

The interviewer were instructed to assume that the rate 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, Puerto Ricans and other persons of Latin American descent in "White" unless definitely Black, American Indian, or of other nonwhite race.

For this survey, 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 occupation (or work) applies to the job during that period. If the respondent held more than one job, the question is directed to the one at which the most time was spent. It refers to the one considered 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 the 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 but has not yet reported to it or a person who has never had a job or business is classified as a "new worker." The 1970 census of population Alphabetical Index of Industries and Occupations was used in the coding of both the industry and occupation (Library of Congress Number 74-612012, for sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Stock Number 0301-22831. Tape Positions 107-108 - Family Income Group The respondent was handed a card with twelve income ranges listed as Group A to Group L and asked "which of these income groups represents your total combined 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. Tape Position 207 - Farm, Non-Farm This position contains a recode, which combines data on land use (position 25), size (position 26), and amount of sales of farm produce and livestock (positions 27 and 28). Code 1: Farm: Rural land (coded 2 in position 25) which consisted of 10 or more acres (coded 1 in position 26) with crop sales of $50 or more (coded 1 in position 27). OR Rural land (coded 2 in position 25) with crop sales of $250 or more (coded 1 in position 28). Code 2: Non-farm: All other rural land (coded 2 in position 25) as well as land classified as urban (coded 1 in position 25). Tape Position 209 - 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 Tape Positions 210-212 - Poverty Index Description and General Information Income status was determined by the Poverty Income Ratio (PIR). Poverty statistics published in the Bureau of the Census reports10-14 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 references 15 and 16.) Modifications in the definition of poverty were adopted in 196917. The standard data series in poverty for statistical use by all executive departments and establishments has been established18. The two components of the PIR are the total income of the household (numerator: the median of the income group for incomes $7,000 and above; the sum of the component parts of the income necessary to maintain a family with given characteristics on a nutritionally adequate food plan9-13 (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 U.S. 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" and 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.

Positions 282-317 - Sample Weight General Information 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. Inflation by Reciprocals of the Sampling Probabilities Inflation by reciprocals of the sampling probabilities. Since the survey utilized a three-stage sample design, there were three proba- bilities of selection: 1) the probability of selecting the PSU, 2) the probability of selecting a segment and housing unit, and 3) the probability of selecting a sample person. Adjustment for Nonresponse 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 numera- tor or 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 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 surgery). 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 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 nonrepondents 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. Tape Positions 412-430, 431-443 - Behavior Questions The nineteen items found in tape positions 412-430 are taken verbatim from the 1965 edition of the Jenkins Activity Survey (JAS). It has been recom- mended that the second and nineteenth items (positions 413 and 430) not be scored. A more recent set of items for the JAS now exists and should be explored by any users of this data. Five of the items explicitly deal with perceptions of one's job. In NHANES II, all sample persons ages 25-74 years were asked the entire set of behavior questionnaire items regardless of their age, sex, job status, etc. It was observed in the editing of the data that a number of people had trouble try- ing to answer some of the questions. No attempt was made to interpret and adjust or recode extraneous answers to these questions. All such uncertain responses were coded as '8' (Blank but applicable). This explains why some items have a large number of '8's coded as the response. Therefore, when analyzing these data for persons who do not work outside the home, one should exercise caution when interpreting scores (answers) to these questions. This may also apply to unemployed persons or persons who stated that they were not looking for a job. The JAS items may also be problematic for per- sons in the older age range (65-74 years) which includes retired persons. It is also important to remember that this questionnaire was usually self- administered. For those persons whose most frequently used language was not English, the questionnaire may not be appropriate. These and other issues need to be examined as part of any analysis of these data. The activity questions (tape positions 431-443) should also be examined and interpreted with similar thought and care knowing the procedure under which the data was collected. DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUES AND CONTENT Questionnaires Completed in the Household Household Questionnaire Household questionnaire: This questionnaire included for each household member items on family relationships and certain demographic variables such as age, sex, race, education, occupation, and veteran status. Also obtained were information on selected housing characteristics, family income, and an indication of the family's participation in food stamp programs. Medical History Questionnaires: For Each Sample Person 6 Months-11 Years of Age 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. For Each Sample Person 12-74 Years of Age The questionnaire included items on medication, hospital care, tuberculosis, a variety of acute and chronic diseases, tobacco usage, physical activity, weight, height, vision disability, eating and gastrointestinal problems, and participation in food programs. Detailed data were collected on anemia, diabetes, respiratory conditions, hearing and speech, liver and gallbladder conditions, kidney and bladder disease, allergies, hypertension, cardiovascular conditions, stroke and arthritis (stressing middle and upper back and neck problems). Questionnaires Administered in the Mobile Examination Center Dietary Questionnaires Examined Persons 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. For each examined person, a Food Frequency questionnaire 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. Persons 12-74 Years of Age For each person 12-74 years of age, 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. Health History Supplement Health History Supplement, for persons 12 through 74 years of age, included questions on cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, kidney and bladder disease, and arthritis in addition to those asked in the household Medical History. Also included were questions on pesticide exposure, smoking for persons 12 through 17 years of age, and a menstrual and pregnancy history for females. Medications/Vitamin Usage Form Medications/Vitamin Usage form collected information on the past week's usage of any medicines, vitamins or minerals for all examined persons. Behavior Questionnaire Behavior Questionnaire elicited data on behavior which may be associated with coronary heart disease for examined persons 25 through 74 years of age. Examination by Physician A physician performed and recorded the results of a medical examination giving special attention to specified findings related to nutrition, to hear- ing, to the thyroid gland, and to the cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological and musculoskeletal systems. Special Clinical Procedures and Tests General Information A specially trained health technician carried out the following on examined persons in the designated age ranges. Spirometry Trials Spirometry trials of examined persons 6 through 24 years of age 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. Electrocardiograms Electrocardiograms were made on examined persons 25 through 74 years of age. Electrocardiographic signals were digitized and recorded on magnetic tape, providing normative data on amplitude, duration, interval and axis measurements and permitting interpretations of heart disease according to the Minnesota classification code. Body Measurements Body Measurements were made on all examinees and included standing height or recumbent length, depending on age; body weight; triceps and subscapular skinfolds; and several other anthropometric measurements. Pure Tone Audiometry Pure tone 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. Speech Recording Speech recording, involving use of tape recording of the subject's repetition of specialty 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. Allergy Tests Allergy tests, involving skin tests (prick test) with eight common allergens (house dust, 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. X-Rays General Information For examined persons 25 through 74 years of age, 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. X-Rays of the Cervical and Lumbar Spine X-rays of the cervical and lumbar spine were taken to provide evidence of osteoarthritis and degenerative disc disease, and an X-Ray of the Chest X-ray of the chest was taken to be used in the diagnosis of respiratory diseases and to serve as a measure of left ventricular enlargement. Urine Tests General Information Test as follows were performed on casual samples of urine. N-Multistix Tests N-Multistix tests for qualitative protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, blood, urobilinogen, pH, and bacteriuria (nitrite test) were done for examined persons 6 through 74 years of age. Urinary Sediments Urinary sediments, including red cells, white cells, and casts, were measured for a subsample of examined adults 20 through 74 years of age. Gonorrhea Cultures Gonorrhea cultures of urinary sediments were performed for male and female examined persons 12 through 40 years of age. However, of those females who received the Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT), only those 20 through 24 years had the gonorrhea test performed. Analyses for Pesticide Residue & Metabolite Levels Analyses for pesticide residue and metabolite levels were carried out on a subsample of examined persons 12 through 74 years of age, including measures of the body burdens from exposure to alkyl phosphate residues and metabolites, carbamate residues, phenolic compound residues and malathion metabolites. Tests on Blood Samples General Information 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 on page 30 of the Series 1, No. 15 program description8. 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 subsample of examined adults 20 through 74 years of age to provide estimates of the prevalence of diabetes. Tests Related to Liver Function a. A post-prandial liver bile acid test was performed to measure the ability of the liver to remove bile acids from the blood. This involved consumption of a food preparation, which induces eventual addition of bile acids to the blood via contraction of the gallbladder, and subsequent collection of blood specimens. b. Liver biochemistries performed include bilirubin, SGOT, and alkaline phosphatase tests. 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. Other Nutritional Biochemistries These tests included albumin, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C. Serum Lipids Because of their important relevance to cardiovascular disease, determinations were made of cholesterol, triglycerides, and high density lipoprotein (HDL). 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. Hematology The hematology included determinations of hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, white blood count and differential leukocyte analysis, and red blood cell morphology and hemoglobin phenotyping. Kidney Function The only quantitative test for kidney function performed on blood samples was the serum creatinine test. Syphilis The serology determination for syphilis included qualitative and quantitative ART, a FTA-ABS and MHA-TP. REFERENCES 1.
