Trends in the Health of Older

Americans: United States,

1994

by Robin A. Cohen, Ph.D., and Joan F.

Van Nostrand, D.P.A,, Office of Vital and

Health Statistics Systems

Introduction detailed categories of age—from the young-old

This report presents national trend data on health

for older Americans. Examination of trend data

highlights changes over time for aggregate groups

of the elderly. Trend data are presented for: health

status, mortality, use of hospitals, use of nursing

homes, and national health expenditures. A major

criterion used in selecting the data presented here is

the availability of comparable national data for

older Americans over a period of several years.

Although the focus of the report is on trend data,

some data also are included on disability and its

consequences for a cohort of the elderly. Such

longitudinal data permit an examination at the intraindividual level of the relationship of baseline health

status and subsequent morbidity and mortality.

Previous reports (1,2) on the health of older

Americans from the National Center for Health

Statistics (NCHS) concentrated on one point in

time, usually the most recent data available. In

contrast, this report presents data on health trends of

olderAmericans over the past 10-30 years. Most of

the data are from continuous or repeated surveys

conducted by NCHS. Because older Americans are

a heterogeneous population, data presented are by

(65-74 years of age) to the oldest-old (85 years of

age and over), sex, and race which are not generally

available in other reports.Data on those who are

approaching older ages (persons 55-64 years of

age) are presented for comparison purposes. Publicuse tapes of NCHS data sets were used for data

presented in chapters 1, 2, 4, and 5. Researchers

using the tapes can verify their results using the data

presented here.

This report on health trends of older Americans

is the first of a series. Others will be released

periodically to update the data presented here and to

include new sources of data on health trends as they

become available. Advice concerning the content

and format of this report was provided by researchers, policy analysts, and other users of health data

about older Americans. They recommended that this

trend report address the needs of multiply audiences. For this reason, tables are included which

present trend data in great detail for those interested

in in-depth information. Charts highlighting the

major trends are included for those interested in

summary information. Each chapter contains a brief

description of the source of data, specific definitions, charts, and tables. Appendix I contains more

detailed information on the sources of the data, and

appendix II provides definitions of general terms.

This information is provided to assist the user in

interpreting the data. A PC Lotus diskette of all

tables in this report, created for researchers and

others who wish to conduct their own analyses of

the data, is available. See appendix III for information on how to order the diskette. And finally, a

the tables are crossindexed by certain variables, such as sex, race, the

oldest-old, activities of daily living, long-term care,

hospital care, and selected chronic conditions.

Because many of the estimates in this report are

based on sample surveys, they may differ somewhat

from the figures that would have been obtained if a

complete census had been taken using the same

survey and processing procedures. The validity of

hypotheses about these sample survey estimates was

evaluated according to statistical protocols described

in appendix I. Terms in the text relating to differences, such as “higher” and “less,” indicate that

the dtierences are statistically significant. Terms

such as “similar” or “no difference” mean that no

statistically significant difference exists between the

estimates being compared. Generally, statistical tests

performed were two-tailed tests unless there was a

prior one-tailed hypothesis. No adjustments for multiple comparisons were made. A detailed discussion

of hypothesis testing and the level of statistical

significance is included in appendix I.

Disability and its

consequences in a cohort of

elderly

This chapter presents data on changes in functional limitation and vital status between 1984 and

1990 using data from the Longitudinal Study of

Aging (LSOA). The LSOA was designed to measure transitions in functional status and living arrangements for a nationally representative cohort of

Americans who were aged 70 and older in 1984 and

lived in the community. This cohort was interviewed in 1984 and re-interviewed in 1986, 1988,

and 1990. A strength of longitudinal data is its

ability to describe aging, its determinants, and its

consequences as a process occurring over time for

individuals rather than for population aggregates

(l).

In this analysis, disability status is measured by

functional limitation (ability to perform everday

personal care and home management activities) as

well as other indicators of physical activity (such as

the ability to walk 1/4 mile), The consequences of

disability are measured by hospital stays, nursing

home stays, movement to a different communitybased residence, and death. Changes in functional

limitations are also studied. Tables present data on

the the consequences of disability between the

initial 1984 interview and the 1990 re-interview.

Data are presented in tables 1–11.

The LSOA was conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) in collaboration

with the National Institute on Aging. The LSOA

was designed to measure changes since the 1984

baseline in the following key areas:

functioning

family structure

housing and living arrangements

health care

economic and retirement indicators

vital status.

Data were also collected on the use of medical

care, such as physician contacts, hospitalizations,

and nursing home stays. Data on hospitalizations

were obtained from Medicare administrative records.

The baseline data for this longitudinal survey is

the Supplement on Aging (SOA) to the 1984 National

Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The SOA was

specifically directed toward civilian noninstitutionalized persons 55 years of age and over and has

been fully described elsewhere (2).

The SOA interviews were conducted in person

in the sample person’s home usually following

completion of the regular NHIS interview. The SOA

sample consisted of a systematic one-half sample of

people 55--64 years of age in the 1984 NHIS

households and all people in the 1984 NHIS households who were 65 years of age and over.

SOA interviews were conducted with the sample

person whenever possible. Proxies were used for

people unable to respond for themselves because of

physical or mental problems or because of hospitalization or other absence while the interviewer was

in the area,

3
A broad spectrum of topics relating to health,

social functioning, and living arrangements of older

people living in the community was covered in the

SOA interview. Information included family structure and living arrangements, relationships and social

contacts, use of community services, occupation

and retirement, health conditions and impairments

(such as selected indicators of disability), activities

of daily living (ADL’s), instrumental activities of

daily living (IADL’s), persons providing help with

ADL’s and IADL’s, nursing home stays, opinions

about one’s own health, and information needed for

tracking.

Because the SOA was designed as the baseline

for a longitudinal study, information for followup

was also collected as part of the interview. All

respondents (or their proxies) were told that they

might be contacted again and were asked to provide

the name, address, and telephone number of someone who did not live in the household and who

would know about them. They were also told that

NCHS would like to link the interview data with

other records of the U.S. Department of Health and

Human Services and were asked for all information

(including Social Security number) that is recommended for linkage with both the National Death

Index (NDI) and Medicare administrative records.

The LSOA sample included all persons 70 years

of age and over in 1984 who participated in the

SOA. The following material is taken from Kovar,

Fitti, and Chyba (3). For a more complete discussion of the LSOA, please see this report.

The LSOA interviews were conducted using

three methods:

Telephone interviews were conducted using

computer-assisted telephone interviewing or

CATI. This was the most frequent approach to

data collection.

Questionnaireswere mailed to people without

information for telephone calls, people with no

response to the telephone calls, and other contacts who were reluctant to answer without some

written confirmation about the study.

Telephone interviews were conducted using paper

questionnaires.

A description of the survey design, the methods

used in estimation, and general qualifications of the

data obtained from the survey are discussed in

appendix I.

Because the estimates are based on a sample of

the population, they are subject to sampling error.

Therefore, readers should pay particular attention to

“Reliability of the survey estimates” in appendix I

which shows formulas for calculating standard errors

and instructions for their use.

Definition of terms

Deceased—Sample persons were considered to

be deceased if their death was ascertained at the

time of the recontacts.

Activities of daily living (ADL ‘s)—These include

six personal care activities: bathing, dressing, toileting (including getting to the toliet), walking, getting

in and out of bed or chair, and eating. Persons were

counted as being limited in an ADL if, as a result of

a health or physical problem, they had difficulty

with the activity and received the help of another

person in performing the activity. Persons reported

as not performing an ADL were classified with

those reported as receiving help of another with that

ADL.

Instrumental activities of daily living (Z4DL ‘s)—

These include six home-management activities: preparing meals, shopping for personal items, money

management, using the telephone, doing light housework (doing dishes, straightening up, or light cleaning), and doing heavy housework (scrabbing floors,

washing windows). Persons were considered to

have difficulty with an IADL if, because of a health

or physical problem, they had difficulty performing

specific activities by themselves and received the

help of another person to perform the activity.

Persons reported as not performing an IADL were

not classified with those receiving help of another

with that IADL. Unlike the ADL’s, IADL’s are not

necessities of life and may not be done for a variety
of reasons other than disability. For example, as a

result of role socialization, men may perform fewer

IADL’s than women, and thus their reports of

difficulties may be underestimates.

Indicators of disability-These refer to selected

measures such as getting outside, walking 1/4mile,

walking up 10 steps without resting, lifting or

carrying 25 pounds, lifting or carrying 10 pounds,

falling more than once in the past 12 months,

dizziness which prevents doing activities, difficulty

controlling bowels on a daily basis, and difficulty

controlling bladder on a daily basis.

Persons were classified as being limited in an

indicator as follows:

Getting outside—Persons were classified as limited if, because of a health or physical problem,

they had difficulty getting outside and received

the help of another person or if they did not get

outside.

Walking 1/4 mile—Persons were classified as

limited if they had difficulty walking 1/4 mile

(about 2 or 3 blocks) without the use of aids.

Lifiing or carrying 25 pounds—Persons were

classified as limited if they had difficulty lifting

or carrying 25 pounds (such as two full bags of

groceries) without the use of aids.

Lifiing or carrying 20 pounds—Persons were

classified as limited if they had difficulty lifting

or carrying 10 pounds without the use of aids.

Falling—Persons were classified as limited if

they had fallen more than once during the 12

months prior to the interview.

Dizziness (respondent-defined)-Persons were

classified as having problems with dizziness if

they had trouble with dizziness or had fallen

because they were dizzy, and the dizziness also

prevented them from doing activities they could

otherwise have done.

Dificulty controlling bowek-Persons were classified as having difficulty controlling bowels if

they had this difficulty on a daily basis or they

had a colostomy (see definition below) or a

device to control bowels. This indicator includes

accidentally soiling

inability to empty

oneself as well as chronic

the bowels but does not

include occasional constipation.

Dificulty controllingbladder-Persons were classified as having difficulty controlling the bladder

if they had this difficulty on a daily basis or they

had a urinary catheter (see definition below) or

device to help control urination. This includes

accidentally wetting oneself, including occasional slight “leaking.”

Colostomies, urinary catheters, or other

devices—These include surgical openings and/or

devices used to aid bowel movement or urination when the person has lost natural control of

these functions through illness, disability, surgery, or other causes. This does not include

enemas or suppositories as devices.

Hospital stay—Persons were classified as having a hospital stay if there was a Medicare record

indicating that they had at least one hospital stay

anytime during the period from the initial 1984

SOA interview to the 1990 LSOA reinterview.

There may be an undercount of hospital stays for

the community-dwelling elderly in 1984 because

there was a small percentage of elderly persons who

did not receive Medicare or who refused to have

their survey response matched with the Medicare

records.

Nursing home stay—Persons were classified as

having a nursing home stay if they, their proxy, or

their descendants indicated that there was at least

one nursing home stay sometime during the period

from the initial 1984 SOA interview to the 1990

LSOA interview.

Moved from residence—Persons were classified

as having moved if they or their proxy indicated

that the person had moved from one residence in the

community to another residence within the community anytime during the period from the initial 1984

SOA interview to the 1990 LSOA interview. This

does not include a person moving to a nursing

home.

5
Moved because of health—Persons were classified as moving because of health if the primary

reason they gave

riorated health or

Discussion

for moving was either their detetheir spouses’ deteriorated health.

The risk of death varied with age and degree of

functional limitation. Both age and functional limitation in ADL’s or IADL’s increased the risk of

death (figures 1 and 2). For persons 70-79 years of

age with no limitation in ADL’s in 1984 (regardless

of IADL limitation), 20 percent were known to have

died by 1990 (figure 1). The risk of dying was 2.5

times greater for those persons with a limitation in

at least one ADL and 3 times greater for those

persons with three or more ADL limitations. Limitations in three or more ADL’s are of interest

because they are often seen as a trigger for longterm care benefits. A similar pattern in risk of death

occurred for persons 80 years of age and over. For

6-15 percent of persons in the LSOA, vital status

was unknown in 1990.

The risk of death was also associated with IADL

limitations (regardless of ADL limitation). For persons 70-79 years of age, there was a twofold

increase in risk of death with limitation in one or

more IADL’s and almost a threefold increase in risk

of death for those persons with three or more

IADL’s (figure 2). A similar pattern in risk of dying

was observed for persons 80 years of age and over.

Changes in ADL limitations were analyzed for

persons living in the community at the 1990 recontact (figure 3). This subpopulation may include persons who were admitted and discharged from nursing

homes in the period from the 1984 interview to the

1990 recontact but excludes persons who were in a

nursing home at the time of the 1990 reinterview.

Because those with more ADL limitations are more

likely to die (see figure 1), patterns of change in

ADL limitation may differ if one looks at the total

population, which includes individuals who have

died. This community-based subpopulation may represent a hardier group and thus may exhibit a higher

6

rate of improvement or a lower rate of decline in

functional status than would the total population.

For the community subpopulation alive at 1990

recontact, among those persons 70 years of age and

over who had no difficulty in ADL’s in 1984,

62 percent remained independent in both ADL’s

and IADL’s, and 13 percent experienced a functional decline in ADL’s by 1990 (figure 3). ~entyfive percent of the elderly were free of ADL limitation

at 1990 recontact but received help of another with

at least one L%DL. Of these 25 percent, threequarters did not have IADL limitation in 1984 (data

not shown).

In contrast, among those with some difficulty in

ADL function in 1984, 14 percent were independent

in both ADL’s and L4DL’s at 1990 recontact, and

68 percent remained dependent in ADL’s (figure 3).

Seventeen percent were independent in ADL’s but

dependent in at least one IADL at 1990 recontact.

Of these 17 percent, three-quarters were limited in

IADL’s in 1984 (data not shown).

For persons 70 years of age and over in 1984

with no ADL or IADL limitation in 1990, 62 percent were free of ADL limitations and 14 percent

were limited in at least one ADL in 1984 (figure 3).

In contrast to this, for those persons with at least

one ADL and one IADL limitation in 1990, only

12 percent were free of ADL limitations, and 61 percent had a limitation in at least one ADL in 1984.

For persons alive at the 1990 recontact, ADL

limitation increased the risk of having a hospital

stay, nursing home stay or both by the 1990 recontact (figure 4). Seventy-five percent of persons alive

in 1990 with an ADL difficulty in 1984 had a

hospital or nursing home stay in the period from the

1984 to the 1990 recontact, compared with only

55 percent of those with no ADLdifficulties in

1984.

Chapter 2

Trends in health status

Introduction

This chapter focuses on the health status of the

elderly civilian noninstitutionalized population residing in the United States and presents national estimates of respondent-assessed health status, restriction

of activity, limitation in performing personal and

routine care activities, and the prevalence of chronic

conditions. Most of tables 1–31 present data starting

with 1982.

Sources of data

The data in this chapter are based on the National

Health Interview Survey (NHIS). The survey covers

the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the

United States alive at the time of the interview. The

NHIS data are obtained through personal interviews

with household members. Interviews are conducted

each week throughout the year in a probability

sample of households. Three-year trends are presented for estimates of restricted-activity days, beddisability days, and prevalence of chronic conditions.

Annual trends are presented for estimates of

respondent-reported health status, restricted-activity

days, bed-disability days, and ability to perform

personal and routine care activities. To reduce sampling error so that reliable data for detailed age and

race categories can be presented, data for a number

of years may be combined.

NOTE The authors wish to acknowledge John Gary Collins, Nelma

Keen, Ann Hardy, Dr.P.H., and Gerry Hendershot, Ph.D, Division of

Health Interview Statistics, NCHS, for their helpful comments on the

manuscript.

When possible, all adult family members participated in the interview. However, proxy responses

were accepted for family members who were not at

home, and proxies were required for all chiIdren

and for family members who are physically or

mentally incapable of responding for themselves.

Although considerable effort is made to ensure

accurate reporting, the information from both proxy

respondents and sample persons themselves may be

inaccurate because the person responding was

unaware of relevant information, had forgotten it, or

did not wish to reveal it to an interviewer, or

because the respondent did not understand the

intended meaning of a question.

In 1982, the NHIS questionnaire and data preparation procedures of the survey were extensively

revised. Comparisons with results prior to 1982

should not be undertaken without carefully examining these changes. The questionnaire for each of the

years should be checked because even a small

change in the questionnaire design may lead to large

changes in the derived estimates. This caution also

applies to using NHIS data on health measures

where changes in other events, such as legislative

changes, have occurred over time. A more complete

explanation of these changes is in appendix IV of

Current Estimates (l).

In 1985, a new sample for NHIS and a different

method of presenting sampling errors were introduced. See Massey, Moore, Parsons, and Tadros (2)

for a more complete discussion.

A description of the survey design, the methods

used in estimation, and general qualifications o~the

29
data obtained horn the survey are shown in appendix

I.

Because the estimates are based on a sample of

the population, they are subject to sampling error.

Therefore, readers should pay particular attention to

“Reliability of the survey estimates” in appendix I

because it shows formulas for calculating standard

errors and instructions for their use. For more

information concerning the calculation of standard

errors for data based on 3-year estimates, please see

appendix I and Ries (3).

Definition of terms

Assessed health status-The categories related

to this concept result from asking the respondent,

“Would you say ‘s health is excellent,

very good, good, fair, or poor?” As such, it is based

on a respondent’s opinion and not directly on any

clinical evidence.

Condition—Condition is a general term that

includes any specific illness, injury, or impairment.

Condition data in the NHIS are derived from the

survey in two ways. First, respondents are asked to

identify any conditions that caused certain types of

impact associated with health, such as a visit to the

doctor or a day spent in bed. Second, respondents

are read lists of selected chronic conditions and

asked whether they or any family members have

any of these conditions.

Data on chronic conditions are collected by

asking each of six representative subsamples of

households to respond to questions about one of six

lists of selected chronic conditions. These six lists

are a part of the basic NHIS. Therefore, because of

this limitation in data collection, one cannot link,

for example, a person with respiratory disease with

any cardiovascular conditions.

All conditions except impairments are coded

according to the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification QCD-9-

CM) (4), with certain modifications adopted to

make the codes more suitable for information derived

from a household survey. A special set of codes

devised by the NHIS is used to code impairments.

Chronic condition—A condition is considered

chronic if (a) a respondent indicates it was first

noticed more than 3 months before the reference

date of the interview, or (b) it is a type of condition

that ordinarily has a duration of more than 3 months.

Examples of conditions that are considered chronic

regardless of their time of onset are diabetes, heart

conditions, emphysema, and arthritis. A complete

list of these conditions maybe obtained by contacting the Division of Health Interview Statistics,

NCHS.

Impairment—An impairment is a chronic or

permanent defect, usually static in nature, that results

from disease, injury, or congenital malformation. It

represents a decrease in or loss of ability to perform

various functions, particularly those of the muscuIoskeletal system and the sense organs. Impairments

are grouped according to type of functional impairment and etiology in the special NHIS impairment

codes.

Prevalence of conditions-The prevalence of a

condition is the number of persons who have the

condition at a given point in time. If the prevalence

of a chronic condition is measured during a period

of time (for example, each week during a year),

then the resulting estimate of prevalence is an

average of 52 weekly prevalence estimates. This is

called an average annual point prevalence estimate.

Disabili~—Disability is any temporary or longterm reduction of a person’s activity as a result of

an acute or chronic condition. “Limitation of activity” refers to long-term reduction in a person’s

capacity to penform the average kind or amount of

activities associated with his or her age group.

“Restriction of activity” refers to particular kinds of

behavior usually associated with a reduction in

activity resulting from either long- or short-term

conditions. Thus, “limitation of activity” refers to

what a person is generally capable of doing, but

“restriction of activity” ordinarily refers to a relatively short-term reduction in a person’s activities

below his or her normal capacity.

30
Limitation of activity because of chronic

conditions—Persons are classified in terms of the

major activity usually associated with their particular age group. For those 70 years and age and over,

the capacity for independent living (e.g., the ability

to bathe, dress, eat, do household chores, shop, and

so forth, without needing the help of another person) is the major activity. Persons are not classified

as limited in activity unless one or more chronic

conditions are reported as the cause of the activity

limitation.

Limitation in personal and routine care

activities—Persons 70 years of age and over are

classified into one of four categories based on their

limitation in the capacity for independent living:

●

●

●

●

Needs help of others with personal care

activities—Because of a chronic condition, the

person needs the help of another with activities

such as eating, bathing, dressing, or getting

around the home. It is assumed that a person

who is unable to perform personal care activities

is also unable to perform routine care activities

and is limited in other activities.

Needs help of others with routine care activities—

Because of a chronic condition, the person needs

the help of another with activities such as doing

everyday household chores, doing necessary business, shopping, or getting around for other purposes. This category excludes persons who need

help with personal care activities.

Limitation in other activities-Because of a

chronic condition, the person is limited in activities other than personal care or routine care.

Not limited—The person is not limited in any

activities because of a chronic condition.

Restriction of activity-Four types of restricted

activity are measured by the NHIS: bed days,

work-loss days for currently employed persons 18

years of age and over, school-loss days for children

5–17 years of age, and cut-down days.

A bed day is one during which a person stayed

in bed more than one-half a day because of illness

or injury. All hospital days for inpatients are considered bed days even if the patient was not in bed

more than one-half a day.

A work-loss day is one on which a currently

employed person 18 years of age and over missed

more than one-half a day from a job or business.

A school-loss day is one on which a student

5–17 years of age missed more than one-half a day

from the school in which he or she was currently

enrolled.

A cut-down day is a day on which a person cuts

down for more than half a day on activities normally done.

Work-loss, school-loss, and cut-down days refer

to the short-term effects of illness or injury. However, bed days are a measure of both long- and

short-term disability because a chronically ill bedridden person and a person with a cold could both

report having spent more than one-half a day in bed

because of an illness.

The number of restricted-activity days is the

number of days a person experienced at least one of

the four types of activity restriction just described.

It is the most inclusive measure of disability days

and the least descriptive; 4 days of restricted activity may mean 4 bed days associated with serious

illness or 4 days on which a person merely cut down

his or her activities because of a mild illness.

A single restricted-activity day may involve

both a bed day and a work-loss day or, for persons

5–17 years of age, a school-loss day. However, a

cut-down day cannot overlap with any of these three

types of disability days. In calculating the sum of

restricted-activity days, each day is counted only

once, even if more than one type of activity restriction was involved.

Restricted-activity days per person are the number of days during which people restricted their

activity.

Discussion

Respondent-assessed health status is one of the

simplest but most informative measures of health. It

is strongly associated with objective health status

31
such as physical exams and physician ratings (5),

mortality (6), and life satisfaction. Data unassessed

health status were obtained by asking respondents

to assess their own health or that of a family

member living in the same household. For white

persons 65–74 years of age living in the community,

there was a decrease from 1982 to 1992 in the

proportion who rated their health as poor (figure 1).

In 1982, 10.4 percent rated their health as poor, and

in 1992, 7.0 percent rated their health as poor. There

was no significant decrease in the proportion of

black persons 65–74 years of age who rated their

health as poor. Among black and white persons 75

years of age and over, there was no change between

1982 and 1992 in the proportion who rated their

health as poor.

In both 1982 and 1992, a greater proportion of

black persons than white persons 64-74 years of

age and 75 years of age and over assessed their

health as poor (figure 1). In 1992, 22.7 percent of

black persons 75 years of age and over rated their

health as poor, compared with only 10.3 percent of

white persons in that age group.

Personal care activities include activities such as

eating, dressing, and getting around the home. In

1985 and 1992, black persons 70 years of age and

over were twice as likely to be limited in personal

care activities as white persons (figure 2). Between

1985 and 1992, the proportion of white persons 70

years of age and over limited in personal care

activities increased from 6.4 to 7.8 percent. There

was no corresponding change for black persons.

Routine care activities include activities such as

doing everyday household chores, doing necessary

business, shopping, or getting around for other

purposes. There was no change between 1985 and

1992 in the proportion of white or black persons 70

years of age and over who were limited in routine

care activities (figure 3). There was no difference in

limitation in routine care activities between white

and black persons.

The prevalence of selected chronic conditions is

another measure of health in the older population.

Arthritis is a highly prevalent chronic condition. In

1982–84, black persons 65 years of age and over

had a greater prevalence of arthritis (572 affected

persons per 1,000 population) than their white counterparts (480 affected persons per 1,000 population)

(figure 4). By 1990-92, there was no difference in

prevalence of arthritis between black and white

persons. In 1990-92, the prevalence was 480 per

1,000 population.

In 1982–84, females 65 years of age and over

were 37 percent more likely to report arthritis than

males (figure 5). The prevalence rate for arthritis in

1982–84 for females was 546 affected persons per

1,000 population and for males, 398. These rates

remained unchanged in 1990-92.

Trends in mortality

Introduction

This chapter presents life expectancy at birth

and at 65, 75, and 85 years of age (table 1) as well

as age-specific and adjusted death rates for 1960-91

for all causes and for selected specific causes of

death (tables 2–9). Specific causes include diseases

of the heart, cerebrovascular disease, malignant

neoplasms, malignant neoplasms of the respiratory

system, malignant neoplasms of the colon, malignant neoplasms of the prostate for males, and

malignant neoplasms of the breast for females.

Sources of data

Mortality data are compiled by the National

Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) through the

National Vital Statistics System. This system is a

cooperative effort of the Federal Government and

the States, with the States providing information

based on death certificates filed in their respective

vital statistics registration offices. For this report,

the sources of data were the annual volumes of Vital

Statistics of the United States and unpublished data.

Intercensed rates for the 1980’s have been revised

because of revisions to the intercensal population

estimates and therefore differ from previously published rates. Death-rate and life-expectancy data for

1981-91 are available from the Division of Vital

Statistics, NCHS. Life-expectancy data for 1970

NOTES: The authors wish to acknowledge Arthur Horn, Division of

Vital Statistics, NCHS, who provided the mortality statistics and

Donna Hoyert, Ph.D., and Harry Rosenberg, Ph.D., Division of Vhal

Statistics, NCHS, who reviewed the manuscript.

have ak.o been revised and may differ from previously published rates in the annual volumes of Vital

Statistics of the United States. Life-expectancy data

for earlier years are in the annual volumes of Vital

Statistics of the United States.

Definition of terms

Age adjustment-Age adjustment, using the direct

method, is the application of the age-specific rates

in a population of interest to a standardized age

distribution in order to eliminate the differences in

observed rates that result from age differences in

population composition. This adjustment is usually

done when comparing two or more populations at

one point in time or one population at two or more

points in time. For a more complete discussion, see

appendix II.

Cause of death—For the purpose of national

mortality statistics, every death is attributed to one

underlying condition, based on information reported

on the death certificate and utilizing the international rules for selecting the underlying cause of

death from the reported conditions. For data years

1979–91, the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD–9) is used for coding.

Data fkom earlier time periods were coded using the

appropriate revision of the ICD for that time period

(see appendix II). Changes in classification of causes

of death in successive revisions of the ICD may

introduce discontinuities in cause-of-death statistics

over time. For further discussion, see the technical

appendk in the 1989 annual volumes of Vital

Statistics of the United States (1).

131
Life expectancy-The average number of years

of life remaining for persons who have attained a

given age. Life expectancy at age 65, for example,

is defined as the average number of years that a

cohort born in a particular year would expect to live

if they were to experience, for the rest of their lives,

the age-specific death rates prevailing in that calendar year.

Death rate—Death rate is calculated by dividing

the number of deaths in a population in a year by

the midyear resident population. It is expressed as

the number of deaths per 1,000 or per 100,000

population. The rate may be restricted to deaths in

specific age, race, sex, or geographic groups or from

specific causes of death (specific rate), or it may be

applicable to the entire population (crude rate).

Discussion

Life expectancy has increased substantially during the 20th century. The overall decline in agespecific death rates have led to increases in life

expectancy at birth and also at 65, 75, and 85 years

of age. From 1950 to 1991, life expectancy at age

65 increased for males and females and white and

black people (figure 1). However, the increases have

not been equal. Expected remaining years of life for

white males 65 years of age increased 2.6 years, but

the corresponding increase for black males was 0.5

years. Life expectancy at age 65 for white females

increased 4.1 years, but among black females the

increase was 2.3 years.

The leading causes of death for the population

65 years of age and over were diseases of the heart,

malignant neoplasms, including neoplasms of lymphatic and hematopoietic tissues; and cerebrovascular disease (2). From 1960 to 1991, the death rates

for diseases of the heart for persons 70-74 years of

age decreased by approximately 45 percent for males

and 53 percent for females (figure 2). However,

death rates for malignant neoplasms of the respiratory and intrathoracic organs increased during this

period (figure 3). There was a 120-percent increase

for males and 580-percent increase for females

70-74 years of age.

Age-specific death rates for prostate cancer

increased 22 percent for males 70-74 years of age

and 70 percent for those 85 years of age and over

(figure 4) between 1960 and 1991. Age-specific

death rates for breast cancer increased 19 percent

for females 70-74 years of age and only 3 percent

for women 85 years of age and over between 1960

and 1991 (figure 5).

Trends in hospital use

Introduction National Master Facility Inventory of Hospitals.

This chapter provides national estimates of the

use of non-Federal short-stay hospitals for selected

years from 1970 to 1991, with special focus on the

elderly population. Detailed tables present data on

number of discharges, discharge rates, and average

length of stay for selected first-listed diagnoses and

the number and rate of all-listed surgical and diagnostic procedures performed by selected demographic characteristics of discharges. Major changes

in technology have taken place between 1970 and

the present, making comparisons over time dif6cult.

Therefore, data for surgical and diagnostic procedures for 1970 are not included in this report. Data

for newborn infants are also excluded. Data are

presented in tables 1–10.

The universe was updated periodically from lists of

hospitals provided by the American Hospital Association. A description of the development and design

of the original NHIX, which was in operation from

1965 through 1987, has been published in Simmons

and Schnack (l).

Beginning in 1988, the NHDS was redesigned

in order to link it with other surveys conducted by

NCHS and to improve efficiency through the use of

information and technologies that were not available when the survey was first designed in 1964.

Differences between NHDS statistics based on the

1970-87 sample and statistics based on the new

sample may be the result of changes in the sample

design rather than real changes in hospital use

patterns.

Sources of data The redesigned survey is based on a new threeThe data in this chapter are based on discharge

events collected by the National Hospital Discharge

Survey (NHDS), a continuous survey that has been

conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) since 1965. The data for the survey

come from a sample of inpatient records that are

obtained from a national sample of non-Federal

general and short-stay specialty hospitals located in

the United States.

The original universe for the survey consisted of

6,965 short-stay hospitals contained in the 1963

stage stratified sample that comes from hospitals

contained in the April 1987 SMG Hospital Market

Database (2). Only hospitals accepting inpatients by

August 1987 were included. In 1991 the sampling

frame was updated to include hospitals from the

1991 SMG Hospital Database (3). The definition of

hospitals in the NHDS was modified slightly in the

redesign. Prior to 1988, hospitals with an average

length of stay of 30 days or more were excluded.

Beginning in 1988, general medical and surgical

and children’s general hospitals were included,

regardless of the overall average length of stay of

the inpatient population. However, the term “shortNOTE The authors wish to acknowledge Eileen McCarthy, Mami

Hall, Ph.D., and Lola Jean Kozak, Ph.D., Division of Health Care stay” will continue to be used because 98 percent of

Statistics, NCHS, for their helpful comments on the manuscript. hospitals in the NHDS universe fall into this category.

A description of the new design, data collection

158
procedures, and estimation process can be found in

Graves (4).

For 1980 to 1991, medical data for hospital

discharges are coded according to the International

Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical

Modification (ICD–9–CM). This coding system has

been updated annually since 1986. Medical data for

1970 for discharges are coded according to the

International Classification of Diseases, 8th Revision. For 1980 to 1991, a maximum of seven

diagnoses and four procedures were coded for each

medical record in the sample. For 1970, a maximum

of five diagnostic codes and three codes for surgical

operations and treatments were assigned for each

medical record in the sample. Although diagnoses

included in the ICD–9–CM section titled “Supplementary classification of external causes of injury

and poisoning” (coded E800-E999) are collected in

the NHDS, these diagnoses are excluded from the

report. The conditions diagnosed and procedures

performed are presented by major diagnostic and

procedure groups of the ICD–9–CM. Within these

groups, some specific categories were selected for

presentation because of large frequencies or because

they are of special interest for the elderly population. More detailed data are presented in other

reports in series 13 of the Wtal and Health Statistics

reports.

Definition of terms

General terms

Familiarity with the definitions used in NHDS is

important for interpreting the data and for making

comparisons with statistical data on short-stay hospital utilization that are available from other sources.

Short-stay hospitals—Those in which the average length of stay is less than 30 days. The American Hospital Association and National Master Facility

Inventory define short-term hospitals as hospitals in

which more than one-half the patients are admitted

to units with an average length of stay of less than

30 days, and long-term hospitals as ones in which

more than one-half the patients are admitted to units

with an average length of stay of 30 days or more.

Beginning in 1988, hospitals whose specialty is

general (medical or surgical) or children’s general

are also included, even if the average length of stay

of all patients in the hospital is 30 days or more.

However, the term “short-stay” will continue to be

used because 98 percent of hospitals in the NHDS

universe fall into this category. Federal hospitals,

hospital units of institutions, and hospitals with

fewer than six beds staffed for patient use are not

included.

Patient—A person who is formally admitted to

the inpatient service of a short-stay hospital for

observation, care, diagnosis, or treatment. The terms

“patient” and “inpatient” are used synonymously.

Newborn infant—A patient admitted by birth to

a hospital.

Discharge—The formal release of a patient by a

hospital, that is, the termination of a period of

hospitalization by death or by departure to place of

residence, nursing home, or another hospital.

Discharge rate—The ratio of the number of

hospital discharges during a year to the number of

persons in the civilian population on July 1 of that

year.

Days of care—The number of patient days

accumulated at the time of discharge by a patient. A

stay of less than 1 day (patient admission and

discharge on the same day) is counted as 1 day in

the summation of total days of care. For patients

admitted and discharged on different days, the number of days of care is computed by counting all days

from (and including) the date of admission to (but

not including) the date of discharge.

Average length of stay—The number of days of

care accumulated by patients discharged during the

year divided by the number of these patients.

Diagnoses

Diagnosis—A disease or injury (or factor that

influences health status and contact with health

services but is not itself a current illness or injury)

listed on the medical record of a patient.

159
First-listed diagnosis—The diagnosis identified

as the principal diagnosis or listed first on the face

sheet or discharge summary of the medical record if

the principal diagnosis cannot be identified. The

number of first-listed diagnoses is equivalent to the

number of discharges.

Procedures

Procedure—A surgical or nonsurgical operation,

diagnostic procedure, or special treatment assigned

by the physician and recorded on the medical record

of patients discharged from the inpatient service of

short-stay hospitals. All terms listed on the face

sheet of the medical record under captions such as

“operation, “ “operative procedures,” and “operations and/or special treatments” are transcribed in

the order listed. A maximum of four four-digit

ICD–9–CM codes are assigned per discharge. In

accordance with ICD–9–CM coding, procedures are

classified as diagnostic and other nonsurgical procedures or as surgical procedures.

Inpatients discharged from short-stay hospitals

had an estimated 20.5 million nonsurgical procedures in 1991 (5). In 1990, only 17.5 million

nonsurgical procedures were reported. The main

reason for this increase was that 1991 was the first

year in which all ICD–9-CM procedure codes were

used in the NHDS. In previous years, selected codes

were excluded for certain miscellaneous diagnostic

therapeutic procedures. See appendix II for the list

of surgical and diagnostic or other nonsurgical

procedures used in this study.

All-listed procedures—The number of procedures on the face sheet of the medical record. In the

NHDS, a maximum of four procedures are coded

for the years 1980-91.

Surgical operations—AU ICD–9–CM procedures except those listed under “nonsurgical procedures” are listed as surgical operations. Selected

surgical operations are listed with their ICD–9–CM

codes in appendix II. In 1989 the list of surgical

operations was revised, and certain procedures previously classified as surgical were reclassified as

diagnostic and other nonsurgical. The American

Hospital Association defines surgery as a surgical

episode in the operating or procedure room. During

a single episode, multiple surgical procedures may

be performed.

Diagnostic and other nonsurgical procedures—

Procedures generally not considered to be surgery

are listed as diagnostic and other nonsurgical procedures. These include diagnostic endoscopy and radiography, radiotherapy and related therapies, physical

medicine and rehabilitation, and other nonsurgical

procedures. In 1989, the list of nonsurgical procedures was revised to include selected procedures

previously classified as surgical. Selected diagnostic

and other nonsurgical procedures are listed with

their ICD–9–CM code numbers in appendix II. In

addition, prior to 1991, selected diagnostic and

other nonsurgical procedures were not coded in the

NHDS. See appendix II for a listing of those

procedures. For further discussion, see Graves (5).

Rate ofprocedures—The ratio of the number of

procedures during the year to the number of persons

in the civilian population on July 1 of that year.

International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD–9–CM) This is

based on and is completely compatible with the

International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision. The ninth revision is used to code mortality

data (mortality section), and ICD–9–CM is used to

code morbidity data. Diagnostic groupings and surgical groupings and their respective code number

inclusions are shown in appendix II.

Discussion

In 1991,31.1 million discharges,excludingnewborn infants, and 199.1 million hospital days were

reported for patients treated in short-stay nonFederal hospitals in the United States, according to

data from the NHDS (5). Persons 65 years of age

and over accounted for 35 percent of the discharges

and 47 percent of the days of care.

Average lengths of stay in U.S. short-stay hospitals have been declining since the 1960’s, The

average length of stay for discharges 65–74, 75–84,

160
and 85 years of age and over decreased between

1970 and 1991(figure 1). In 1970,for discharges 85

years of age and over, the average length of stay

was 13.8 days. By 1991, it was reduced to 9.2 days.

Similar reductions in lengths of stay are seen for

those 65–74 and 75–84 years of age.

Fractures of all sites, and especially hip fractures, increase in importance as the population ages.

The diagnosis of hip fracture is associated with a

relatively long hospital stay compared with other

diagnoses. However, the average length of stay for

discharges with hip fracture decreased dramatically

from 1970 to 1991 (figure 2). For discharges 75–84

years of age in particular, there was a decrease in

length of stay of 13.7 days.

The rate per 10,000 population of discharges

75–84 years of age with a first-listed diagnosis of

septicemia increased 3.5 times, from 18.5 to 65.6

between 1980 and 1991 (figure 3). Septicemia is of

particular interest because for discharges 65 years of

age and over, it was associated with a fatality rate of

20.2 deaths per 100 discharges in 1991, accounting

for 32,000 deaths (5).

The rate of discharges with a first-listed diagnosis of heart disease increased for both males and

females 65 years of age and over from 1970 to 1991

(figure 4), For males the rate increased from 570.9

to 865,2, and for females the rate increased from

462.3 to 661.3.

Figure 5 shows data on the rate of selected

surgical and diagnostic procedures for discharges 65

years of age and over. The rate of total and partial

hip replacement increased between 1980 and 1991

by 57 percent. The rates of both cardiac catheterization and endoscopy of the small intestine increased

by more than 300 percent between 1980 and 1991.

There was no change in the rate for endoscopy of

the large intestine.

‘Comparisons ofdatafor 1990 and 1991 with data for earlier years should be made with caution, as estimates ofchange may

reflect improvements in the design (see appendixl) rather than true changes in hospital use.

2For1970, the classification ’’other ischemic heart disease” includes all diagnoses of ischemic heart disease.

*Estimates based on fewer than 30 discharges are not shown; estimates based on 30-59 discharges areto be used with caution

and are preceded with an asterisk.

NOTES: Data include races otherthan white and black. Discharges are from non-Federal hospitals. Discharges exclude newborn

infants. Diagnostic grouping inclusions are based on the /ntemationa/ Classification of Diseases, 8th Revision, adapted for use in

the United States for 1970, and on the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (lCD-g-CM) for

1980, 1985, 1990, and 1991. For a listing of the code numbers, see appendix Il.

lComparisons ofdatafor 1990 and1991 with data for earlier years should be made with cautionj as estimates of change may

reflect improvements in the design (see appendixl) rather than true changes in hospital use.

2Data include races otherthan white and black.

3For1970, the classification “otherischemic heart disease’’ includes all diagnosesof ischemic heart disease.

*Estimates based on fewer than 30 discharges are not shown; estimates based on 30-59 discharges areto be used with caution

and are preceded by an asterisk.

NOTES: Discharges are from non-Federal hospitals. Discharges exclude newborn infants. Diagnostic grouping inclusions are

based on the International Classification of Diseases, 8th Revision, adapted for use in the United States for 1970, and the

/nternationa/ Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical Modification (lCD-9-CM)for 1980, 1985, 1990, and 1991. Fora

1comparisons of data for 1ggr) and 1ggl with earlier years should be made with caution, as estimates of change may reflect improvements in the design (See appendix 1)

rather than true changes in hospital use.

2Begining in 1989, the definitions of some surgical and diagnostic and other nonsurgical procedures were revised, thus causing a discontinuity in the trends for the totals

and selected surgical procedures. See appendix II.

31ncludesprocedures not listed on the table.

41nPatients discharged from short.stay hospitals had an estimated 20,519,()()IJ nonsurgical procedures in 1991. In 1990, only 17,4s0,000 nOnSUrgiCZd procedures Were

reported. The main reason for this increase was that 1991 was the first year in which all ICD-8-CM procedure codes were used in the National Hospital Discharge

Survey. In previous years, selected codes were excluded, primarily codes for certain miscellaneous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. See appendix II for a list of

excluded codes.

51n 1991, there were 407,000 all.listed coronary artery bypass graft procedures performed on only 265,000 discharged patients.

‘For 1980 and 1985, this category is arthroplasty and replacement of knee.

*Estimates based on fewer than 30 discharges are not shown; estimates based on 30-59 discharges are to be used with caution and are preceded by an asterisk.

NOTES: Discharges are from non-Federal hospitals. Discharges exclude newborn infants. Data do not reflect total use of surgical and diagnostic procedures because

surgical and diagnostic procedures for outpatients are not included in the National Hospital Discharge Survey. in recent years, for example, lens extractions are frequently

performed on outpatients. Surgical and nonsurgical procedure categories are based on the /nternationa/ C/assificatkm of Diseases, 9th Revision, C/inica/ Modification

(lCD-%CM). For a listing of the code numbers, see appendix Il.

lComparisons ofdatafor 1990 and 1991 with earlier years should bemadewith catiion, asestimates ofchange mayreflect improvements in the design (see appendixl)

rather than true changesin hospital use.

2Beginning in 1989, the definitions of some surgical and diagnostic and other nonsurgical procedures were revised, thus causing a discontinuity in the trends for the totals

and selected surgical procedures. See appendix Il.

31ncludes procedures not listed on the table.

41nPatients discharged from short-stay hospitalshad an estimated20,519,()()() nonsurgical procedures in 1991. In 1 $)90, only 17,4s0,000 llrXISIJrgiCd procedures Were

reported. The main reason for this increase was that 1991 was the first year in which all ICD-9-CM procedure codes were used in the National Hospital Discharge

Survey. In previous years, selected codes were excluded, primarily codes for certain miscellaneous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. See appendix II for a list of

excluded codes.

51n 1991, the rate per 100,000 population of discharged patients with a coronary artery bypass graft was 105.8.

‘For 1980 and 1985, this category is arthroplasty and replacement of knee.

*Estimates based on fewer than 30 discharges are not shown; estimates based on 30-59 discharges are to be used with caution and are preceded by an asterisk.

NOTES: Discharges are from non-Federal hospitals. Data exclude newborn infants. Data do not reflect total use because operations for outpatients are not included in the

National Hospital Discharge Survey, In recent years, for example, lens extractions are frequently performed on outpatients. Surgical and nonsurgical procedure categories

are based on the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, C/irrica/ Modification (ICD-9-CM). For a listing of the code numbers, see appendix 11.

1Comparisons of data for 1990 and 1991 with that for earlier years should be made with caution, as estimates of change may reflect h?lpKM311c311k h the design (See

appendix 1)rather than true changes in hospital use.

2Beginning in 1989, the definitions of some surgical and diagnostic and other nonsurgical procedures were revised, thus causing a discontinuity in the trends for the totals

and selected surgical procedures. See appendix II.

3Data include races other than white and black.

41ncludesprocedures not listed on the table.

51nPatients discharged from sh@.stay hospitals had an estimated 20,519,000 nonsurgical procedures in 1991. In 1990, only 17,450,000 llOtlSUrgiCd procedures Were

reported. The main reason for this increase was that 1991 was the first year in which all ICD-9-CM procedure codes were used in the National Hospital Discharge

Survey. In previous years, selected codes were excluded, primarily codes for certain miscellaneous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. See appendix II for a list of

excluded codes.

Gin1991, there were 407,000 al]-listed coronary artery bypass graft procedures performed on only 265,000 discharged patients.

‘For 1980 and 1985, this category is arthroplasty and replacement of knee.

*Estimates based on fewer than 30 discharges are not shown; estimates based on 30-59 discharges are to be used with caution and are preceded by an asterisk.

NOTES: Discharges are from non-Federal hospitals. Discharges exclude newborn infants. Data do not reflect total use of operations because operations for outpatients

are not included in the National Hospital Discharge Survey. In recent years, for example, lens extractions have frequently been performed on outpatients. Surgical and

nonsurgical procedure categories are based on the /nternationa/ Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, C/inica/ Modification (lCD-$I-CM). For a listing of the code

numbers, see appendix Il.

Survey. In previous years, selected codes were excluded, primarily codes for certain miscellaneous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. See appendix II for a list of

excluded codes.

Trends in long-term care

Introduction

Information presented in this chapter summarizes selected data collected in the National Nursing

Home Surveys (NNHS) of 1973–74, 1977, and

1985 and the Resident Places Survey 1 (RPS–1) of

April-June 1963 on nursing home residents. Data

presented focus on the individual and composite

measures of functional status, continence status, and

depression and selected behavioral problems of

nursing home residents, Data are presented in tables

1-6.

Sources of data

The NNHS is a nationwide sample survey of

nursing and related care homes, their residents,

d$c~arges, and staff, conducted periodically by the

National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). NNHS

is based on a probability sample of nursing homes;

it includes all types of nursing homes without

regard to the level of care they provide, whether

they participate in the Medicare or Medicaid programs, or whether they are licensed. It excludes

board or care homes and facilities identified as

providing residential care.

The 1977 NNHS was conducted May through

December 1977, and the 1985 NNHS was conducted between August 1985 and January 1986.

These surveys are designed to provide comprehensive information about people using this component

Hing, Division of Health Care Statistics, NCHS, for their helpful

comments on the manuscript.

of long-term care and about the facilities in which

they reside. For more information concerning RPS-1

(April-June 1963) and the 1973-74 NNHS, see

appendix I.

The 1977 and 1985 NNHS both employed a

stratified two-stage probability sample. The first

stage was a selection of facilities, and the second

stage was a selection of residents, discharges, and

staff from the sample facilities. Data for a sample of

residents on the facility’s roster at the time of the

survey were collected by interviewing the nurse

most familiar with the care provided to the resident.

When responding, the nurse relied on medical records

supplemented by personal knowledge of the residents, No resident was interviewed directly.A detailed

description of the survey procedures is found in

appendix I.

Definition of terms

Nursing home—An establishment with three or

more beds that provides nursing or personal care to

the aged, infirm, or chronically ill. Establishments

range from facilities that provide nursing care to

those that provide one or two personal care services.

Resident—A person on the roster of the nursing

home as of the night before the survey. Included are

all residents for whom beds are maintained, even

though they may be away on overnight leave or in a

hospital.

Activities of daily living (ADL ‘s)—Selected

everyday activities (bathing, dressing, using toilet

room, mobility, eating, and continence) for which

the nursing home staff respondent reported the

resident’s current performance in terms of need for

274
the help of special equipment or another person:

Bathing

Independent-Does not currently require any

assistance in bathing or bathes with the help of

an assistive device.

Help of another person required—Bathes with

the help of another person with or without the

use of special equipment.

Dressing

Independent-Does not currently require any

assistance in dressing or dresses with the help of

an assistive device.

Help ofanother person required—Currently

dresses with help of another person with or

without the use of special equipment. This category also includes those who do not dress and

those cases in which the resident remains partially or totally undressed.

Using toilet room

Independent-Does not currently require any

assistance in using the toilet room or uses the

toilet room with the aid of an assistive device.

Help of another person required—Uses the toilet room with the help of another person with or

without the use of an assistive device.

Does not use—Does not currently use the toilet

room because of an ostomy, or because of being

chairfast, or for a similar reason.

Mobility

Walksindependently-Does not require any assistance in walking or walks with the aid of an

assistive device.

Help of another person required—Walks with

the help of another person with or without the

use of an assistive device.

Chair~ast-Currently confined to a chair.

Bedfast—Currently confined to a bed.

Eating

Independent-Does not require any assistance

in eating or eats with the aid of an assistive

device.

Help of another person required-cumently eats

with the help of another person with or without

the aid of an assistive device. This includes

residents requiring assistance with the cutting of

meat and buttering of bread, as well as those

who require tube or intravenous feeding.

Continence

No dificul~ controlling bowels or bladder—

Does not currently have any difficulty in controlling either bowel or bladder.

Dijiculty controlling bowels—Currently has difficulty controlling bowels.

Di@culty controlling bladder-Currently has difficulty controlling bladder.

Ostomy—Has undergone a surgical procedure

that resulted in the creation of an artificial

opening for the elimination of waste for either

the bowel or the bladder.

Index of dependency in activities of daily living—

The index of dependency in activities of daily

living, based on the work of Dr. Sidney Katz (1,2),

is a measure that permits the overall classification of

individuals according to a hierarchy based on dependency in performing the six activities of daily living

just described. The index has seven levels of depehdence, with each successive level indicating greater

dependency. The index category “other” includes

residents who were dependent in at least two functions but not classifiable into any of the categories

of the hierarchy. The following list of activities is

ordered in hierarchical sequence and presents the

criteria for classifying a resident as dependent:

●

●

●

Bathing—This refers to those residents who

require help of another person in bathing.

Dressing—This refers to those residents who

require help of another person in dressing, including those who do not dress.

Using toilet roorn-’llis refers to those residents

who require help of another person in using the

toilet room or who do not use the toilet room.

275
●

●

●

Mobility-This refers to those residents who

require help of another person in walking or who

are chairfast or bedfast.

Continence-This refers to those residents who

have difficulty controlling bowels, bladder, or

both, or who have an ostomy.

Eating—This refers to those residents who require

help of another person to eat, including those

who are tube or intravenously fed.

Hearing—Hearing is the resident’s ability to

hear (when wearing a hearing aid, if applicable).

Hearing may be:

● Partially im.aired-Person can hear most of the

things someone says. This includes a small

number of residents whose hearing is impaired

but whose level of impairment is unknown.

Severely inzpaired-Person can hear only loud

noises or a few words a person says.

Completely lost—Resident is deaf.

Vision-The resident’s ability to see (when wearing glasses, if applicable). Vision may be:

Partially impaired—-Person cannot read newspaper print but can watch television 8–12 feet

away. This includes a small number of residents

whose vision is impaired but whose level of

impairment is unknown.

Severely impaired—Person cannot watch television 8-12 feet away but can recognize the

features of familiar persons if they are within

2–3 feet.

Completely lost—Resident is blind.

Selected behavioralproblems—Resident is physically abusive to self or to others and/or gets lost or

wanders into unacceptable places.

Depression—Resident displays depression of

such degree that he or she is distressed or restricted

in functioning nearly every day.

Discussion

One measure of nursing home utilization is the

rate of residents per 1,000 population. Examination

276

of this rate indicates that the heaviest users of

nursing home care are females 85 years of age and

over (figure 1). This group had a rate of 250 per

1,000 population in 1985. For the 22-year period

1963–85, the rates of nursing home use increased

by about 50 percent. This increase in use occurred

for both females and males and for the oldest-old

(85 years of age and over) as well as the younger

elderly (65–74 years). One reason for the increased

use during 1963–73 was the availability of public

funding for nursing home care as a result of the

enactment of Medicare and Medicaid legislation in

1965. In recent years, nursing home use has stabilized. From 1977 to 1985, the rates remained relatively constant except for a slight decrease for

females 75–84 years of age.

Between 1977 and 1985, nursing home residents

became more disabled in mobility (figure 2) and in

performing ADL’s (figure 3). These increases in

disability can have implications for both the amount

and type of care needed. Nursing home residents

who are confined to a bed or chair are the most

severely disabled in mobility. Bedfast residents, in

particular, are at increased risk of decubitus ulcer,

For the oldest-old, the percent who were chairfast or

bedfast increased by about 25 percent. This was the

case for both females and males. By 1985, more

than one-half of the oldest-old females and nearly

one-half of the oldest-old males were chairfast or

bedfast. The percent of females 75–84 years of age

who were chairfast or bedfast also increased signiiicantly during 1977–85, but this was not the case for

males.

ADL disabilities have been found to be significant predictors of mortality in general and of admission to a nursing home (3), as well as of mortality

during the first year of a nursing home stay (4).

Residents with JKDLdisabilities were those classified as dependent in any of six ADL’s because they

required the assistance of another person. In 1977

and in 1985, the majority of nursing home residents

had three or more ADL dependencies (figure 3).

This was the case for both females and males and
for the younger elderly and the oldest-old. The

percent of females dependent in three or more

ADL’s increased over this time period to about

75 percent. This increase occurred for both the

younger elderly and the oldest-old. There was no

comparable increase for males.

The nursing staff were asked if the sampled

residents displayed depression to such a degree that

functioning was restricted nearly every day. Data on

degree of restriction area measure of the functional

impact of depression. Symptoms of depression have

been associated with increased use of physical

restraints during the first year after nursing home

admission (5). Depression has also been associated

with mortality in nursing homes (4). From 1977 to

1985, the percent of oldest-old residents with depression that restricted their functioning decreased (figure 4). This decrease occurred for both females and

males. Decreases were also found for females 75–84

years of age.

Trends in national health

expenditures

Introduction

Since 1964, the U.S. Department of Health and

Human Services has published an annual series of

statistics presenting total national health expenditures for each year. These statistics, called the

national health accounts (NHA), are a means for

systematically describing the expenditures for health

services and products purchased in the United States

and the sources of payment for them (l). The NHA

provide a comprehensive picture of health care

spending and financing, consistently defined over

time. The two-dimensional (source of funds and

type of service) matrix design of the NHA provides

internal cross-checks of aggregate expenditure estimates with their sources of funding. For a further

discussion of the NHA, see Lazenby and others (2).

The NHA recognize several types of expenditures,

which are outlined in the definitions section of this

chapter, Data on health expenditures are presented

in tables 1-4.

Recently, the NHA have undergone revisions to

reflect changes that have been occurring in the

structure of the health care industry during the past

decade (3). Among those changes are the shift of

many services from inpatient settings to outpatient

hospital and freestanding facilities, the rise in the

number of outpatient clinics, and the dispensing of

prescription drugs at sites other than community

pharmacies.

Along with these structural changes, there have

also been changes in the mechanisms used to finance

comments on the manuscript.

health care. Many of these changes were prompted

by business in an effort to contain health care costs.

To do this, employers have turned to the delivery of

health care services through health maintenance

organizations and preferred provider organizations;

mandatory second opinions; required outpatient treatment for specific procedures; higher copayments

and deductibles; and self-insurance. In addition,

recent changes in law require employers who offer

health insurance to insure those workers over 64

years of age, with these policies paying for health

care before Medicare pays. For a more complete

description of these changes, see Lazenby and others

(2).

New data sources have emerged to supplement

the traditional ones used to estimate national health

expenditures. These include the conversion of the

Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Expenditure

Survey from an intermittent survey to a quarterly

one. This provides a continuous flow of information

for out-of-pocket spending. The Bureau of the Census has enlarged the sample of its survey of service

establishments. The American Hospital Association,

American Medical Association, and the American

Dental Association now conduct surveys that provide insights into the sources of revenue received by

their members.

Definition of terms

Gross domestic product (GDP)—GDP is the

market value of goods and services produced by

labor and property located in the United States, the

suppliers (that is, the workers and property owners)

299
may be either United States residents or residents of

the rest of the world.

i14edicare-A nationwide health insurance program providing health insurance protection to people

65 years of age and over, people entitled to Social

Security disability payments for 2 years or more,

and people with end-stage renal disease, regardless

of income. The program was enacted July 30, 1965,

as Title XVIII of the Social Security Act, Health

Insurance for the Aged, and became effective on

July 1, 1966. It consists of two separate but coordinated programs: hospital insurance (Part A) and

supplementary medical insurance (Part B).

National health expenditures—Estimates of the

amount spent for all health services and supplies

and health-related research and construction activities in the United States during the calendar year.

Detailed estimates are available by source of expenditure (for example, out-of-pocket payments, private health insurance, and government programs)

and by type of expenditure (for example, hospital

care, physician services, and drugs). Data are compiled from a variety of sources. See appendix I for

detailed information.

Health services and supplies expenditures—

Outlays for goods and services relating directly to

patient care plus expenses for administering health

insurance programs and for government public health

activities. This category is equivalent to total national

health expenditures minus expenditures for research

and construction.

Nursing home expenditures-Expenditures for

care rendered in skilled nursing and intermediate

care facilities, including those for the mentally

retarded. The costs of long-term care provided by

hospitals are excluded.

Personal health care expenditures—Outlays for

goods and services relating directly to patient care.

The expenditures in this category are total national

health expenditures minus expenditures for research

and construction, expenses for administering health

insurance programs, and government public health

activities.

Private expenditures-Outlays for services provided or paid for by nongovernmental sources—

consumers, insurance companies, private industry,

and philanthropic and other nonpatient care sources.

Public expenditures-Outlays for services provided or paid for by Federal, State, and local

government agencies or expenditures required by

governmental mandate (such as worker’s compensation insurance payments).

Discussion

The Nation spent $751.8 billion, or $2,868 per

person, for health care in 1991. Total health care

expenditures exceeded the aggregate amount spent

in 1990 by 11.4 percent. They continued to increase

at a rapid rate, despite the slowdown in the general

economy (l). Americans spent 13.2 percent of the

Nation’s GDP on health care in 1991, up from

12.2 percent 1 year earlier. Between 1960 and 1991,

the percent of GDP spent on health care increased

2.5 times, from 5.3 to 13.2 percent (figure l).,

The United States spends a greater proportion of

its GDP on health care than other developed countries. The gap between what the United States

spends and what other countries spend continues to

widen. As already noted, health care accounted for

13.2 percent of GDP in the United States in 1991. In

Canada, the country with the next highest percentage, it accounted for 10.0 percent, and in Japan,

6.6 percent (4) (data not shown).

Trends in national health care expenditures for

all ages during the period 1960-91 varied by the

type of personal care expenditure (figure 2). The

percent of expenditures for physician services

remained relatively stable, and those for hospital

care rose slightly from 34 to 38 percent. Home

health care is the smallest but fastest growing

component of personal health care expenditures.

The percent of expenditures for home health care

increased thtiteenfold, from 0.1 to 1.3 percent. The

percent of expenditures for nursing home care more

than doubled during this 31-year period. In 1991,

300
expenditures for nursing home care were 6 times

larger than for home health care.

Out-of-pocket payments for persons of all ages

differed greatly by type of personal care expenditure. Only 3 percent of hospital expenditures were

financed out of pocket in 1991 (data not shown). In

contrast, 12 percent of home health care expenditures and 43 percent of nursing home care expenditures were paid out of pocket (4).

Introduction

This report presents data on various aspects of

the health of older Americans. Much but not all of

the data presented are from the ongoing data collection systems of the National Center for Health

Statistics (NCHS). For an overview of these systems, see National Center for Health Statistics, MG

Kovar: Data systems of the National Center for

Health Statistics, Wtal and Health Statistics. Series

1, No, 23, DHHS Pub. No. (PHS) 89-1325, Public

Health Service, Hyattsville, MD. 1989. National

health expenditures data are from Health, United

States, 1992, and were compiled by the Office of the

Actuary, Health Care Financing Administration.

Although a detailed description and comprehensive evaluation of each data source is beyond the

scope of this appendix, users should be aware of the

general strengths and weaknesses of the difEerent

data collection systems. For example, populationbased surveys contain socioeconomic data, data on

family characteristics, and information on the impact

of an illness, such as days lost from work or

limitation of activity. They are limited by the amount

of information a respondent remembers or is willing

to report, Detailed medical information, such as

precise diagnoses or the types of operations performed, may not be known and so will not be

reported. Conversely, health care providers, such as

physicians and hospitals, usually have good diagnostic information but little or no information about the

socioeconomic characteristics of individuals or the

impact of illnesses on individuals.

The population covered by diiferent data collection systems may not be the same, and understanding the differences is critical to interpreting the data.

Data on vital statistics and national expenditures

cover the entire elderly population. Most data on

morbidity and utilization of health resources cover

only the noninstitutionalized population, that is,

only those elderly living in the community.

The descriptive summaries of each data source

are presented in this section, in alphabetical order

by name of the data collection system. Summaries

provide a general overview of study design, methods of data collection, and reliability and validity of

the data. More complete and detailed discussions

are found in the publications cited at the end of each

summary. In many cases the publication is from the

same time period as the data presented in this

report. Health, United States, 1992, was the source

for much of the material in the report on data

sources and definitions.

Department of Commerce Bureau of the

Census

Census of populations

The census of population has been taken in the

United States every 10 years since 1790. In the

1990 census, data were collected on sex, race, age,

and marital status from 100 percent of the enumerated population. More detailed information, such as

income, education, housing, occupation, and industry were collected from a representative sample of

309
the population. For most of the country, one out of

six households (about 17 percent) received the more

detailed questionnaire. In places of residence estimated to have less than 2,500 population, 50 percent of households received the long form.

For more information on the 1990 census, see U.S.

Bureau of the Census, 1990 Census of Population,

General Population Characteristics, Series 1990,

CP-1.

Population estimates

National population estimates are derived by

using decennial census data as benchmarks and data

available from various agencies as follows: births

and deaths (National Center for Health Statistics);

immigrants (Immigration and Naturalization Service); Armed Forces (U.S. Department of Defense);

net movement between Puerto Rico and the U.S.

mainland (Puerto Rico Planning Board); and Federal employees abroad (Office of Persomel Management and U.S. Department of Defense). State

estimates are based on similar data and also on a

variety of data series, including school statistics

from State departments of education and parochial

school systems. Current estimates are consistent

with official decennial census figures and do not

reflect estimated decennial census undernumeration.

After decennial population censuses, intercensal

population estimates for the preceding decade are

prepared to replace postcensal estimates. Intercensal

population estimates are more accurate than postcensal estimates because they take into account the

census of population at the beginning and end of the

decade. Intercensal estimates have been prepared

for the 1960’s, 1970’s, and 1980’s to correct the

“error of closure” or difference between the estimated population at the end of the decade and the

census count for that date. The error of closure at

the national level was quite small during the 1960’s

(379,000). However, for the 1970’s, it was almost 5

million.

Office of the Actuary

Estimates of national health expenditures

Estimates of expenditures for health are compiled annually by type of expenditure and source of

funds. Estimates of expenditures for health services

come from an array of sources. The American

Hospital Association data on hospital finances are

the primary source of estimates relating to hospital

care. The salaries of physicians and dentists on the

staffs of hospitals, hospital outpatient clinics, hospitalbased home health agencies, and nursing home care

provided in the hospital setting are considered to be

components of hospital care. Expenditures for services of health professionals (doctors, dentists, chiropractors, private duty nurses, therapists, podiatrists,

etc.) are estimated using a combination of data from

the US. Bureau of the Census’ Services Annual

Survey and the quinquemiel census of Service

Industries, from the Internal Revenue Service, and

from tabulations on the operations of health maintenance organizations. Expenditures for drugs and

other medical nondurable and vision products and

other medical durables purchased in retail outlets

are based on estimates of personal consumption

expenditures prepared by the U.S. Department of

Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis and on

industry data on prescription drug transactions. Those

durable and nondurable products provided to inpatients in hospitals or nursing homes, and those

provided by licensed professionals or through home

health agencies are excluded here but are included

with the expenditure estimates for those in the

provider service category. Nursing home expenditures cover care rendered in establishments providing inpatient nursing and health-related personal

care through active treatment programs for medical

and health-related conditions. These establishments
cover skilled nursing and intermediate care facilities, including those for the mentally retarded. Spending estimates are based upon revenue data horn the

National Nursing Home Survey conducted by the

National Center for Health Statistics. Expenditures

for construction include the erection or renovation

of hospitals, nursing homes, medical clinics, and

medical research facilities, but not private office

buildings providing office space for private practitioners. Expenditures for noncommercial research

(the cost of commercial research by drug companies

are assumed to be embedded in the price charged

for the product; to include this item again would

result in double counting) are developed from information gathered by the National Institutes of Health.

and methods used in the national health accounts,

Letsch, Helen Lazenby, Cathy Cowan, and Katharine

Levit, Office of the Actuary, Health Care Financing

Review, Health Care Financing Administration. Washington. U.S. Government Printing Office. 1992.

Medicare Statistical System

The Medicare Statistical System (MSS) of the

Health Care Financing Administration provides data

for examining the program’s effectiveness and for

tracking the eligibility of enrollees and the benefits

they use, the certification status of institutional

providers, and the payments made for covered

services. Records are maintained on about 33 million enrollees and 24,000 participating institutional

providers; about 420 million bills for services are

processed annually.

The MSS contains four major computer files:

the health insurance master file, the service provider

file, the Hospital Insurance (HI) claims file, and the

Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) payment

records file.

The health insurance master file contains records

for each aged and disabled enrollee and includes

data on type of entitlement, deductible status, benefit period status, and benefits used, as well as

demographic information such as age, sex, race, and

place of residence.

The service provider file contains information

on hospitals, home health agencies, skilled nursing

facilities, independent clinical laboratories, and suppliers of portable x ray or outpatient physical therapy

services that participate in Medicare. For hospitals,

data on number of beds, type of ownership, and

other characteristics are included.

The HI claims file contains information on

beneficiary entitlement and use of benefits during

the benefit period for hospital, skilled nursing facility, and home health agency services.

The SMI payment record file provides information on whether the enrollee has met the deductible

and on amounts paid for physician services and

other SMI-covered services and supplies.

Data from the MSS provide information about

enrollee use of benefits for a point in time or over

an extended period. Statistical reports are produced

on enrollment, characteristics of participating providers, reimbursements, and services used.

For further information on the MSS, see Health

Care Financing Administration, Medicare Statistical

File Manual, HCFA Pub. No. 03272, Baltimore,

MD. July 1988.

National Health Interview Survey

The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is

a continuing nationwide sample survey conducted

by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS)

in which data are collected through personal household interviews. Information is obtained on personal

and demographic characteristics, illnesses, injuries,

impairments, chronic conditions, utilization of health

resources, and other health topics. The household

311
questionnaire is reviewed each year, with special

health topics being added or deleted. For most

health topics, data are collected over an entire

calendar year.

The sample design plan of the NHIS follows a

multistage probability design that permits a continuous sampling of the civilian noninstitutionalized

population residing in the United States. The survey

is designed in such a way that the sample scheduled

for each week is representative of the target population, and the weekly samples are additive over

time. The response rate for the survey has been

between 95 and 98 percent over the years.

In 1985, the NHIS adopted several new sample

design features although conceptually the sampling

plan remained the same as for the previous design.

Two major changes included reducing the number

of primary sampling locations from 376 to 198 for

sampling efficiency, and oversampling the black

population to improve the precision of the statistics.

It is anticipated that this design will be used until

1995.

The sample was designed so that a typical NHIS

sample for the data collection years 1985–94 would

consist of approximately 7,500 segments containing

about 59,000 assigned households. Of these households, an expected 10,000 would be vacant, demolished, or occupied by persons not in the target

population of the survey. The expected sample of

49,000 occupied households will yield a probability

sample of about 127,000 persons. In 1991, there

was a sample of 120,032 persons, and in 1992, there

was a sample of 128,412 persons.

used in estimation, and general qualifications of the

data obtained from the survey are presented in

Longitudinal Study

U.S. Government

on Aging

Printing

The Longitudinal Study on Aging (LSOA) is a

collaborative endeavor conducted by NCHS and the

National Institute on Aging (NIA). The LSOA is

designed to measure changes in functional ability

and in living arrangements (including movement

into and out of nursing homes) of a cohort of older

people living in the community in 1984. The LSOA

provides baseline data for 1984 and followup information for the years 1986, 1988, and 1990 on 7,527

people who were 70 years of age and over when

they participated in the Supplement on Aging (SOA)

to the 1984 National Health Interview Survey

(NHIS).

The 1984 SOA is a survey specifically directed

toward civilian noninstitutionalized persons 55 years

of age and over. One of the objectives of the SOA

was to provide finer statistical measures of functional limitations and the presence of chronic health

conditions among older persons. Another objective

of the SOA was to provide information about older

people that could be used as baseline data for the

LSOA. The SOA sample consisted of a systematic

one-half sample of people in the 1984 NHIS households who were 55-64 years of age and all people

in the 1984 NHIS households who were 65 years of

age and over. A total of 16,697 sample persons in

the 39,996 households responding to the 1984 NHIS

were selected for the SOA interview. A total of

7,541 sample persons were 70 years of age and

over. For more detailed information on the design of

the SOA, see National Center for Health Statistics,

JE Fitti and MG Kovar: The Supplement on Aging
to the 1984 National Health Interview Survey. T&al

and Health Statistics. Series 1, No. 21, DHHS Pub.

No. (PHS) 87-1323 Public Health Service. Washington. U.S. Government Printing Office. October 1987.

To obtain measures of change, elderly persons

or their proxies were reinterviewed three times after

1984: in 1986, 1988, and 1990. Their records were

matched (with their permission) to the National

Death Index, the computerized records of deaths in

the United States maintained by NCHS; the multiple cause-of-death file, maintained by NCHS; and

the Medicare Automated Data Retrieval System

(MADRS), maintained by the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA).

The LSOA contains information on demographic and health characteristics, including disability measured by activities of daily living and

instrumental activities of daily living; selected indicators of disability; changes in those characteristics

and reasons for change; and doctor, hospital, and

nursing home use. The LSOA also contains information concerning hospitalization—length of stay,

diagnoses, surgical procedures, and cost of hospitalization, from MADRS.

The sampling frame for the 1986 reinterview

was the 7,541 persons who were 70 years of age

and over in 1984 when they participated in the

SOA. However, only a subsample was selected for

the 1986 interview. The sample was selected in

stages to accomplish three major goals: select as

many of the oldest-old as possible; select as many

minority people as possible; and select all family

members 70 years of age and over who were related

to these people to maximize the ability to examine

family relationships. The following three steps were

taken to accomplish these goals:

First, all NHIS households with an SOA participant 80 years of age and over were selected. Within

these households everyone 80 years of age and over

and their relatives ages 70-79 years were selected.

Second, all other households with a person

70-79 years of age were selected. From these

households, all Hispanic or black persons and their

relatives 70-79 years of age were selected.

Third, the remaining households with a person

70-79 years of age, which were households containing

only white, non-Hispanic persons, were randomly

sorted; one-half of these households were selected for

the sample. If there was more than one person in the

age group 70-79 years in a household that was

selected, all were included. The selection process

produced an interview sample of 5,151 persons.

The sampling frame for the 1988 and 1990

samples was also the SOA participants who were 70

years of age and over in 1984. However, there was

no subsampling. The interview samples did not

include all 7,541 persons who were 70 years of age

and over in 1984. People known to have died prior

to interview were not included.

In 1984, people could either be independent or

dependent, but they were all living in the community. By 1986, some people had died, and there were

four, instead of two, starting points because people

who were in institutions in 1986 or 1988 were

eligible for subsequent interviews. The pattern of

people being removed from the interview sample

because they were known to have died and the rest

starting from one of four possible starting points

persists throughout the remainder of the study.

The 1986 interview yielded the information that

604 sample people had died since the 1984 SOA

interview but asked only the date and place of death

in these cases. Because other information was needed

about the deceased person’s experience between the

1984 SOA interview and death, a followup was

conducted with the sample person’s named contact

or next of kin. This followup was by telephone.

Questions in the Decedent Followup were about

hospitalizations and nursing home stays of the sample

person prior to death. For the 1988 and 1990 LSOA

interviews, the Decedent Followup questions were

included so that information could be obtained

about the deceased sample person at the telephone

dialing.

National Hospital Discharge Survey

The National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS)

is a continuing nationwide sample survey of shortstay hospitals in the United States conducted by

NCHS. Before 1988, the scope of NHDS encompassed patients discharged from noninstitutional hospitals, exclusive of military and Veterans

Administration hospitals, located in the 50 States

and the District of Columbia. Only hospitals having

six or more beds for patient use and hospitals in

which the average length of stay for all patients was

less than 30 days were included in the survey.

Beginning in 1988, the scope was altered slightly to

include all general and children’s general hospitals,

regardless of the length of stay. Although all discharges of patients from these hospitals are within

the scope of the survey, discharges of newborn

infants from all hospitals are excluded from this

report as well as discharges of all patients from

Federal hospitals.

The original sample was selected in 1964 from a

frame of short-stay hospitals listed in the National

Master Facility Inventory. A two-stage stratified

sample design was used, and hospitals were stratified according to bed size and geographic region.

Sample hospitals were selected with probabilities

ranging from certainty for the largest hospitals to 1

in 40 for the smallest hospitals. Within each sample

hospital, a systematic random sample of discharges

was selected from the daily listing sheet. Initially,

the within-hospital sampling rates for selecting discharges varied inversely with the probability of

hospital selection, so that the overall probability of

selecting a discharge was approximately the same

across the sample. Those rates were adjusted for

individual hospitals in subsequent years to control

the reporting burden of those hospitals.

In 1985, for the first time, two data collection

procedures were used for the survey. The first was

the traditional manual system of sample selection

and data abstraction. In the manual system, sample

selection and transcription of information from the

hospital records to abstract forms were performed

by either the hospital staff or representatives of

NCHS or both. The second was an automated

method involving the purchase of data tapes from

commercial abstracting services. Upon receipt of

these tapes, they were subject to NCHS sampling,

editing, and weighting procedures. The automated

method was used in approximately 17 percent of the

sample hospitals in 1985, and 33 percent in 1991.

In 1988, the NHDS was redesigned. The hospitals with the most beds and/or discharges annually

were selected with certainty, but the remaining

sample was selected using a three-stage stratified

design. The first stage is a sample of the primary

sampling units (PSU’S) used by the National Health

Interview Survey. Within PSU’S, hospitals were

stratified or arrayed by abstracting status (whether

subscribing to a commercial abstracting service),

and within abstracting status arrayed by type of

service and bed size. Within these strata and arrays,

a systematic sampling scheme with probability proportional to the number of discharges annually was

used to select hospitals. The rates for systematic

sampling of discharges within hospitals vary inversely

with probability of hospital selection within a PSU.

Discharge records from hospitals submitting data

via commercial abstracting services (approximately

30 percent of sample hospitals in 1991) were arrayed

by primary diagnoses, patient sex and age group,

and date of discharge before sampling. Otherwise,

the procedures for sampling discharges within hospitals remained the same as those used in the prior

design.

314
In 1991, the hospital sample was updated by

continuing the sampling process among hospitals

that were NHDS-eligible for the sampling frame in

1991 but not 1987. That is, the additional hospitals

were added at the end of the list of the strata to

which they belonged, and the systematic sampling

was continued as if the additional hospitals had

been present during the initial sample selection.

Hospitals that were no longer NHDS-eligible were

deleted. The updating process will be repeated

every third year.

The basic unit of estimation for NHDS is the

sample patient abstract. The estimation procedure

involves inflation by the reciprocal of the probability of selection, adjustment for nonresponding hospitals and missing abstracts, and ratio adjustments

to fixed totals. Of the 528 hospitals selected for the

survey, 521 were within the scope of the survey, and

484 participated in the survey in 1991. Data were

abstracted from about 275,000 records. Age and sex

of the patient were not stated for about 1.5 and

1,1 percent of the sample discharges in 1990 and

1991, respectively. These data were imputed by

assigning the patient an age and sex consistent with

the age and sex of other sampled patients with the

same diagnostic code. Data on race were not available for 9.6, 19.4, and 21.6 percent of the discharges

for 1985, 1990, and 1991, respectively. Missing

values were not imputed.

National Nursing Home Survey

NCHS has conducted three National Nursing

Home Surveys. The first survey was conducted

from August 1973 to April 1974; the second from

May to December of 1977; and the third from

August 1985 to January 1986.

Much of the background information and experience used to develop the first National Nursing

Home Survey (NNHS) was obtained from a series

of three ad hoc sample surveys of nursing and

personal care homes called the Resident Places

Surveys (RPS-1, -2, -3). The three surveys were

conducted by NCHS during April-June 1963, May–

June 1964, and June–August 1969. During the first

survey, RPS-1, data were collected on nursing homes,

chronic disease and geriatric hospitals, nursing home

units, and chronic disease wards of general and

mental hospitals. RPS-2 concentrated mainly on

nursing homes and geriatric hospitals. During the

third survey, RPS-3, nursing and personal care

homes in the coterminous United States were

sampled.

For the initial NNHS conducted in 1973–74, the

universe included only those nursing homes that

provided some level of nursing care. Thus, homes

providing only personal or domiciliary care were

excluded.

The scope of the 1977 NNHS encompassed all

types of nursing homes, including personal care and

domiciliary care homes. The sample of about 1,700

facilities was selected from 23,105 nursing homes

in the sampling fkame, which consisted of all homes

listed in the 1973 National Master Facility Inventory (NMFI), a listing of all health facilities, and

those opening for business between 1973 and December 1976. Data were obtained from about 13,600

staff, 7,000 residents, and 5,100 discharged residents. Response rates were 95 percent for facilities,

85 percent for expenses, 81 percent for staff, 99 percent for residents, and 97 percent for discharges.

The scope of the 1985 NNHS was similar to the

1977 survey in that it included all types of nursing

315
homes. The sample of 1,220 homes was selected

from a sampling frame of 20,479 nursing and

related care homes. The frame consisted of all

homes in the 1982 NMFI; homes identified in the

1982 Complement Survey of the WI as “missing” from the 1982 NMFI; facilities that opened for

business between 1982 and June 1984; and hospitalbased nursing homes obtained horn the Health Care

Financing Administration. Information on the facility was collected through a personal interview with

the administrator. Accountants were asked to either

complete a questionnaire on expenditures or provide

a financial statement. Resident data were provided

by a nurse familiar with the care provided to the

resident. The nurse relied on the medical record and

personal knowledge of the resident. In addition to

employee data that were collected during the interview with the administrator, a sample of registered

nurses completed a self-administered questionnaire.

Discharge data were based on information recorded

in the medical record. Data were obtained from

1,079 facilities, 2,763 registered nurses, 5,243 current residents, and 6,023 discharges. Response rates

were 93 percent for facilities, 68 percent for expenses,

80 percent for registered nurses, 97 percent for residents, 95 percent for discharges. Additional data

about the current and discharged residents were

obtained in telephone interviews with next of kin.

The National Institute on Aging provided support

for this component of the NNHS. The response rate

was 90 percent for next of kin.

Statistics for all these surveys were derived by a

ratio-estimation procedure. Statistics were adjusted

for failure of a home to respond, failure to fill out

one of the questionnaires, and failure to complete an

item on a questionnaire.

National Vital Statistics System

Data cm deaths

Through the National Vital Statistics System,

NCHS collects and publishes data on births, deaths,

marriages, and divorces in the United States, The

Division of Vital Statistics obtains information on

deaths from the registration offices of all States,

New York City, the District of Columbia, Puerto

Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Guam. Geographic coverage for deaths has been complete

since 1933.

Until 1972, microfilm copies of all death certificates were received from all registration areas and

processed by NCHS. Beginning in 1972, some

States began sending their data to NCHS through

the Cooperative Health Statistics System (CHSS).

316
States that participated in the CHSS program

cessed 100 percent of their death records and

present

the entire data file to NCHS on computer tapes.

Currently, the data are sent to NCHS through the

Vital Statistics Cooperative Program (VSCP), following the same procedures as the CHSS. The

number of participating States grew from 6 in 1972

to 46 in 1984, All 50 States and the District of

Columbia have been participating in the VSCP

since in 1985.

The standard certificates of birth, death, and

fetal death recommended by NCHS are modified in

each registration area to serve the area’s needs.

However, most certificates conform closely in content and arrangement to the standard certificate, and

all certificates contain a minimum data set specified

by NCHS.

Health Statistics, Vital Statistics of the United States,

Population estimates for death rates

The U.S. Bureau of the Census publishes annual

population estimates needed as denominators to

calculate national death rates for the white and

black populations. See appendix II, table I for resident population from 1960 to 1990.

Statistical considerations

Reliability of the survey estimates

Because many of the estimates in this report are

based on a sample survey, they may dtier somewhat from the figures that would have been obtained

if a complete census had been taken using the same

survey and processing procedures. There are two

types of errors possible in an estimate based on a

sample survey: sampling and nonsampling errors.

To the extent possible, these types of errors are kept

to a minimum by methods built into the survey

procedures.

Rounding of numbers

In published tables, the figures are rounded to

the nearest thousand. Derived statistics, such as

rates and percent distributions, are computed before

the estimates on which these are based have been

rounded to the nearest thousand.

Estimation of standard errors

The standard error is primarily a measure of

sampling error, that is, the variations that might

occur by chance because only a sample of the

population is surveyed. The chances are about 68 in

100 that an estimate from the sample would differ

from a complete census by less than the standard

error. The chances are about 95 in 100 that the

difference would be less than twice the standard

error and about 99 in 100 that it would be less than

2.5 times as large.

Standard errors for the computed statistics on

data fi-om the National Health Interview Survey

(NHIS), the National Nursing Home Survey(N’NHS),

andthe National Hospital Discharge Surveys (NHDS)

were derived from the figures of approximate relative standard errors in the particular survey’s documentation. These standard errors are provided for a

wide variety of estimates rather than for a particular

statistic.

The data presented on mortality are the actual

population figures, not estimates.

Relative standard errors

As in other NCHS documents, a particular estimate is considered statistically unreliable, and is so

indicated by an asterisk to the left of the estimate, if

the relative standard error (RSE) is greater than

30 percent. The RSE of an estimate is obtained by

dividing the standard error (SE) of the estimate by

the estimate itself (l). The RSE is expressed as a

percent of the estimate:

SE (X) RSE =100 —x

For NHDS data a particular estimate is considered unreliable, and is so indicated by an asterisk, if

317
it is based on fewer than 30 discharges. Estimates

based on 30-59 dischrages are presented with an

asterisk to indicate that they may not be reliable.

Tests of significance

In this report, terms relating to dillerences, such

as “higher” and “less, “ indicate that the dfierences

are statistically significant (at 0.05 level of significance). Terms such as “similar” or “no difference”

mean that no statistically significant difference exists

between the estimates being compared. A lack of

comment on the difference between any two estimates does not mean that the difference was tested

and found not to be significant.

Statistical statement form

The validity of all statistical statements made in

this document was evaluated according to protocols

developed at NCHS (2). Statistical statements

encountered herein are either descriptive or comparative (3). A descriptive statement is one in which

only estimates of parameters are presented, and a

comparative statement examines the relationship

between parameters (3). Many of the statistical

comparisons made in this document are singlecomparison statements that do not specify the magnitude of the difference between the two parameters.

For example, females 65 years of age and over have

a higher incidence of respondent-reported arthritis

than do males 65 years of age and over. The

statistical tests performed were two-tailed tests unless

the authors had an a priori one-tailed hypothesis. All

statistical comparisons were tested at the 5-percent

level of significance.

The format of the two-tailed statistical test is as

where

Xm=

Xf=

S:m=

s:.=

respondent-reported incidence of

arthritis for females

respondent-reported incidence of

arthritis for males

standard error of X~

standard error of Xf

If a one-tailed test was applicable, then the

critical value used was 1.645.

Other statistical comparisons were multiplecomparison statements that do not specify the magnitudes of the differences between the pairs of

parameters. For example, the days-of-care rate is

higher for widowed persons than for married persons (3). The format of the statistical test is the

same as already described, however, the critical

value, which depends on the number of possible

pairwise comparisons, differs from the 1.96. Using

the previous example, there are five subdomains of

marital status (married, single, widowed, divorced,

or separated), two of which are being compared.

Although the statement makes only one comparison, there are 10 possible pairwise comparisons for

the marital-stati.s subdomains, and the appropriate

critical value fcx a two-sided test would be 2.81 (3).

Tables with the appropriate critical value for a

particular combination of comparisons are available

in other NCHS documents (3).

Appendix II

Definition of general terms

Social and demographic terms

Age—Age is reported as age at last birthday,

that is, age in completed years, often calculated by

subtracting date of birth from the reference date,

with the reference date being the date of the interview or other contact with an individual, or hospital

or nursing home records.

Age adjustment—Age-adjusted death rates are

used to make comparisons of relative mortality risks

across groups and over time. However, these rates

should be viewed as constructs or indexes rather

than as direct w actual measures of mortality risk.

Statistically they are weighted averages of the agespecific death rates, where the weights represent the

fixed population proportions by age (see: National

Center for Health Statistics, M Feinleib and AO

Zarate, eds. Reconsidering age adjustment procedures: Workshop proceedings. Wal and Health

Statistics, Series 4, No. 29. 1992). The age-adjusted

rates in this report were computed by the direct

method, that is, by applying the age-specific death

rates for a given cause of death to the U.S. standard

million population (relative age distribution of 1940

enumerated population of the United States totaling

1,000,000. See table II. For more information see

RD Grove and AM Hetzel. Vital statistics rates in

the United States, 1940-60. National Center for

Health Statistics. Washington: Public Health Service. 1968). By using the same standard population,

the rates for the total population and for each

race-sex group were adjusted separately. The ageadjusted rates were based on 10-year age groups. It

is important not to compare age-adjusted death rates

with crude rates.

Race—Beginning in 1976, the Federal Government’s data systems classified individuals into the

following racial groups: American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asian or Pacific Islander, black, and

white.

Depending on the data source, the classification

by race may be based on self-classification, observation by an interviewer or other persons filling out

the questionnaire, hospital or nursing home records,

or information recorded in a health record.

Population—The U.S. Bureau of the Census

collects and publishes data on several dtierent

types of population in the United States. Various

statistical systems then use the appropriate population in calculating rates.

Total population is the population of the United

States, including all members of the Armed

Forces living in foreign countries, Puerto Rico,

Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Other Americans abroad (for example, civilian Federal

employees and dependents of members of the

Armed Forces or other Federal employees) are

not included.

Resident population is the population of U.S.

residents living in the United States. This includes

members of the Armed Forces stationed in the

United States and their families. It excludes

foreign military, naval, and diplomatic personnel and their families located here and residing

in embassies or similar quarters as well as

foreigners working or studying here; and Americans living abroad. The resident population is

the denominator when calculating birth and death

rates and incidence of disease.

319
Civilian population is the resident population

excluding members of the Armed Forces, however, families of members of the Armed Forces

are included. This population is the denominator

in rates calculated for the NCHS National Hospital Discharge Survey.

Civilian noninstitutionalized population is the

civilian population not residing in institutions.

Institutions include correctional institutions,

detention homes, and training schools for juvenile delinquents; homes for the aged and dependent (for example, nursing homes and

convalescent homes); homes for dependent and

neglected children; homes and schools for the

mentally or physically handicapped; homes for

unwed mothers; psychiatric, tuberculosis, and

chronic disease hospitals; and residential treatment centers. This population is the denominator in rates calculated for the NCHS National

Health Interview Survey (NHIS).

The population estimates used for data from the

1992 NHIS are inflated to national population controls by age, race, and sex. The population controls

are based on the 1980 census carried forward to

1992. Therefore, estimates may differ from 1990

census results brought forward to the survey date.

Population controls incorporating census results will

be used for survey estimation beginning later in the

decade,

Geographic terms

Geographic division and region—The 50 States

and the District of Columbia are grouped for statistical purposes by the U.S. Bureau of the Census into

4 regions. The groupings are as follows:

●

●

Northeast-Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,

Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New

South—Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, West Vkginia, North Carolina,

South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas

West—Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado,

New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, and Hawaii

Metropolitan statistical area (i14SA)-The definitions and titles of MSA’S are established by the

U.S. Office of Management and Budget with the

advice of the Federal Committee on Metropolitan

Statistical Areas. Generally speaking, an MSA consists of a county or group of counties containing at

least one city (or twin cities) having a population of

50,000 or more, plus adjacent counties that are

metropolitan in character and are economically and

socially integrated with the central city. In New

England, towns and cities rather than counties are

the units used in defining MSA’S. There is no limit

to the number of adjacent counties included in the

MSA as long as they are integrated with the central

city, nor is an MSA limited to a single State;

boundaries may cross State lines. The metropolitan

population in this report is based on MSA’S as

defined in the 1980 census and does not include any

subsequent additions or changes.
