Introduction

Serum cholesterol and lipoproteins are associated with

the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) (1-3).

Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that total serum

cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol

(LDL-C) are directly related to CHD but that highdensity

lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is inversely related to this

disease (4$). Serum triglycerides, although directly associated with cardiovascular diseases has not been shown to be

an independent risk factor in CHD (6).

At the present time, little is known about the distribution of serum lipids and lipoproteins among Hispanic

Americans. A better understanding of the distribution of

these risk factors in the Hispanic population may help to

elucidate differences in CHD morbidity and mortality

among subgroups.

This report presents basic reference data on TC, HDLC, the ratio of serum cholesterol to HDL-C, serum triglyceride and calculated values of LDL-C of Hispanic

Americans, including distributions of total serum choksterol and LDL cholesterol by the cutpoints recommended

by the Adult Treatment Panel (ATP) of the National

Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) for the classification of aduks. The data were obtained in the Hispanic

Health and Nutrition I&mination Survey (HHANES ).

This survey, conducted by the National Center for Health

Statistics (NCHS) during the years 1982-84, focused on

three Hispanic subgroups Mexican Americans, Cuban%

and Puerto Ricans.

From 1960 through 1980 the National Center for

Health Statistics (NCHS) conducted five population-based,

national health examination surveys (tables A and 7-9). A

m!&jqr objective of these surveys has been to record a

vari&y of laboratory and clinical measurements including

total serum cholesterol. In addition, other data were collected in each survey, using a medical history, a physical

examination, and a variety of body measurements. These

questionnaire and medical examination components have

been designed to support analyses of data on certain

targeted conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and iron

deficiency anemia.

Beginning with the first National Health and Nutrition

Examination Survey (NHANES I) (10), a major nutritional

assessment component was added to the health examination surveys to obtain information on overall nutritional

status and dietary practices. This component was designed

to enhance the quality and quantity of biochemical, clinical,

anthropometrie, and dietary data as they pertain to nutritional status.

Both the NHANES I and its successor, the

NHANES II (11), conducted from 1976 through 1980,

focused on a national sample of the U.S. population. The

numbers of Hispanic and other ethnic groups in these

sampl~ however, were insuffkient to enable adequate

estimation of their health and nutritional status. Therefore,

from 1982 through 1984, a Hispax@ Health and Nutrition

Examination Survey (HHANES) was conducted to obtain

data on the health and nutritional status of the three largest

Hispanic subgroups residing in households in distinct geographic areas of the United States Mexican Americans in

selected counties in five Southwest States—Texas, Colorado, New Mexieo, Arizon~ and Californi& Cubans from

Dade County (Miami), Floridrg and Puerto Ricans from

the “NewYork City area, including parts of New York, New

1
Jersey, and Connecticut (12).Although HHANES was not

intended to be a national probability sample, it is the first

large-scale study of the health examination surveys covering

the health and nutritional status of the three Hispanic

subgroups.

The survey design of HHANES was a stratified, multistage, probability cluster sample of civilian noninstitutionalized persons ages 6 months through 74 years residing in

households in three defined geographic areas of the United

States. Even though HHANES was not designed as a

national Hispanic survey, and no national estimates for the

Hispanic population can be made, the three HHANES

universes include approximately 76 percent of the 1980

Hispanic-origin population in the United States. More

detail on the sample design and conduct of the survey is

presented in appendix I.

Total serum cholesterol has been determined from

sera collected in each health examination survey, except for

the second National Health Examination Survey. During

NHANES II, NCHS and the National Heart, Lung, and

Blood Institute (NHLBI) for the first time collected and

analytically processed serum specimens for HDL-C and

serum triglyceride in addition to TC. Values for LDL-C

were calculated using the equation of Friedewald, et al.

(13). The serum lipid data from NHANES 11 have been

published (14-16). During HI-LANES, TC, HDL-C, and

serum triglyceride were also determined from sera and

serum specimens collected during that survey. Values of

LDL-C were also calculated by the Friedewald equation

(13).

Data for TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, and serum triglycerides

were determined only for adults ages 20-74 years in

HHANES. TC and HDL-C were scheduled to be measured

in all Hispanic adults ages 20–74 years examined in

HHANES, but serum triglycerides were scheduled to be

measured only in that half of the examined adults ages

20–74 years who were to receive the oral glucose tolerance

test. This “half sample” was also designed to be representative of Hispanics in the designated areas. Persons in the

half sample were asked to fast overnight for 10-16hours.

No fasting instructions were given to those in the other half

sample.

The health examinations, including the collection of

serum for conducting lipid analysis, were conducted by

highly trained teams of health personnel in specially

equipped mobile examination centers (MEC’S). Lipid analyses were performed at the Johns Hopkins University Lipid

Research Clinic according to the protocol described by the

Lipid Research Clinic (LRC) program. The blood determinations have undergone numerous quality control and editing procedures in both the data collection and data

processing phases of the survey. All unusual values have

been checked and verified by the laborato~.

Although TC was scheduled to be measured on all

adults examined in HHANES, and serum triglyceride on all

adults in the fasting sample, a small percent have missing

lipid determinations (see appendix I).

Estimates of the mean, the standard error of the mean,

and selected percentiles are presented for serum lipid and

lipoprotein determinations by sex and age for each Hispanic subgroup. These include TC, HDL-C, and serum

triglyceride. In addition, calculated values of the ratio of

total serum cholesterol to HDL cholesterol and calculated

values of LDL-C (13) are included. The ratio of serum

cholesterol to HDL-C was found in the Framingham Study

to be a useful summary ‘of the joint contribution of these

lipids to CHD risk (17). Estimates of TC, HDL-C, and the

ratio of TC to HDL-C are presented for all examined

persons 20–74 years of age, whereas estimates of serum

triglyceride and LDL-C are presented for examined adults

:fasting 12 hours or more prior to the examination.

Cumulative percent distributions for these variables

are also presented by Hispanic origin, se% and age. Selected results from these tables are highlighted in tables

showingthepercentdistributions by selected cutpoints that

are of importance with regard to CHD. These results

include

a The percents with a serum cholesterol level of less than

200 milligrams per deciliter (m#dl), 200-239 mg/dl,

and 240 mg/dl or more (2).

. The percent with an HDL-C level of less than 35 mgjdl

(2).

. The percent with a ratio of TC to HDL-C greater than

or equal to 4.5 (18).

o The percents with an LDL-C level of less than 130

mg/dl, 130-159 n@dl, and 160 mg/dl or more (2).

The percent of Hispanic persons with a serum triglyceride level between 250 and 500 mg/dl and the percent with

a serum triglyceride level of 500 mg/dl or more (6) are not

highlighted in a special table. However, these percents can

be obtained from the tables showing cumulative percents

(see determination of percents in the Analytical issues

section). Finally, estimates of the mean and the standard

error of the mean for TC, HDL-C, and the ratio of TC to

HDL-C are presented by poverty status and years of education (appendix II).

The purpose of this report is to present baseline data of

serum lipids and lipoproteins of Hispanics rather than to

compare the data from HHANES with data from previousstudies. Such comparisons will be presented in other publications.

Sample sizes for most Hispanic subgroups are large

enough to meet NCHS requirements for the presentation

of ~tatistica]ly reliable results (see appendix 111). In most

instances where these requirements are not satisfied, an

asterisk (*) is shown in place of these estimates. In some

instances an asterisk is placed beside the mean or percent.

The lipid data from this survey have been coded and

edited. These data will be released soon. Persons interested

in more detailed analyses will be able to purchase this tape

Sources

The Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES), conducted from July 1982 through December 1984, is the most recent in a series of health

examination surveys conducted by NCHS. The major difference between HHAk and the previous health examination surveys is that” HHANES was a survey of three

special subgroups of the population in selected areas of the

United States rather than a national probability sample.

The target population for HHANES ideally would have

included all households with at least one member of Hispanic ‘origin. However, the United States includes States

and counties with very sm@ numbers or proportions of

Hispanic persons. Therefore, HHANES was restricted to

those counties in the three target areas of the muntry that

had a sufficient number or proportion of Hispanic persons

to permit the efficient operation of the survey. Thus 97

percent of the 1980 Mexican-American population in the

five Southwest States, 96 percent of the Cuban population

in the Dade County are% and 90 percent of the Puerto

Rican population in the New York City area were eligiile

for inclusion in HHANES.

Selected households were screened to identi$ eligiile

Hispanic families and to select sample persons from these

families to be interviewed and examined. Eligibility for the

survey’ was determined by the family unit. A family was

considered eligible if at least one family member’s reported

national origin or ancestry met the criteria for eligibility

appropriate to the survey location. These criteria were as

follows:

Sunq area Nationaloriginor ancestry

Southwest area . . . . . . Mexican or Mexicano,

Mexican-American, Chicano,

Hispano, Spanish-American,

or Spanish (when no other

country of origin was

mentioned)

Dade County, Fla.,

area . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Cuban or Cuban-American

New York City

area . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Puerto Rican or Boricuan

cases where multiple origins were reported for the same

considered eligible if any one of the reported origins met

these criteria.

If a family was eligiile for the survey, all members of

that family were eligible to be selected for the interview and

examination components. Therefore, some non-Hispanic

persons residing in Hispanic households and some Hispanic

persons not meeting the above criteria were selected and

“examined in each of the three geographic areas. For this

report, however, all findings are based on the examined

persons within the households who were defined as being of

Mexican origin or ancestry in the Southwest, of Cuban

origin or ancestry in Dade County, Florida, and of Puerto

Rican origin or ancestry in the New York City area. This

report, therefore, excludes persons in the total sample who

were non-HXic or of an origin that did not” meet the

eligibility criteria. Appendix II presents a more detailed

description of how the Hispanic-origin recode used for this

report was determined.

Tables B and C show the sample sizes and response

rates for each of the three survey areas in HHANES. In

table B, the results are presented for both the total sample

(including non-Hispanic persons) and for the specific-origin

sample. Table C shows the sample sizes and response rates

for Hispanic adults in the fasting sample.

HHANES, like previous examination surveys, consisted of tsvo major components. Household interviews

formed the first component; the second consisted of physical examinations and additional interviews in examination

centers. All interviews, examinations, tests, procedures, and

laboratory determinations were performed following standardized protocols.

The household interview component involved collecting socioeconomic and demographic information from the

family and sample persons within the family and completing

a medical history questionnaire for sample persons. Interviewers employed by the contract agency conducting the

HHANES performed the initial household interviews and

aided in the scheduling of appointments for examination.

The examination component was performed in mobile

examination centers specially designed for this study. The

examination environment and equipment were standardized to minimize differences in findings among sample

locations. The full-time examination teams were specifically

trained to follow the study protocols, which provided for

standardization, quality control, and evaluation of team

members’ performance. The examination consisted of a

series of standardized tests and procedures that included

the following:

. General medical

sician, including

tion.

. Laboratory tests

specimens.

.

examination and screening by a phyadditional medical history informaon whole blood, serum, and urine

. Body measurements.

. Dietary interview.

. Selected diagnostic tests such as electrocardiograms,

x rays, hearing, and diagnostic ultrasound for detection

of gallstones.

Thus, HHANES provided the opportunity to assess key

aspects of the Hispanic population’s health and nutritional

status during a 2%-year period and to collect baseline data

that could be used to assess changes over time in selected

Hispanic subgroups living in the United States.

As mentioned previously, not all Hispanic adults had

known lipid determinations. The number of adults with

known lipid determinations is shown in table D.

Methods of measurement

HHANES was staffed with two highly trained examination teams and equipped with three mobile examinationclmters, which could be moved to a central location in each

of the primary sampling units. Selected sample persons for

whom appointments could be made were brought into the

examination centers. There, examinees changed fro]m their

street clothing into disposable paper examination gowns

and foam rubber slippers designed to facilitate and standardize various elements of the examination.

The various instruments were checked and calibrated

at the beginning of each survey location and preventive

maintenance was performed as scheduled, with results

recorded in an instrument log book. Technicians participa~ted in the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) proficiency testing program four times a year.

Blood samples were obtained by venipuncture from

both fasting and nonfasting subjects. The blood was allowed

to clot for 3040 minutes at room temperature, and the

samples were then centrifuged, An aliquot of serum was

transferred to a plastic, screw-capped vial, then placed in a

–2(T’C freezer within 3 hours after collection. At approximately 2-week intervals, serum specimens collected over

the preceding period were placed in a styrofoam shipping

container containing dry ice and shipped to The Johns

Hopkins University Lipid Research Clinic Laborato:~ for

analysis of TC, triglyceride, and HDL-C. Samples received

in ithe laboratory were placed in a freezer at –20”C until

they were analyzed, usually within 2 weeks after receipt.

Specimens were allowed to thaw at room temperature and

the n mixed thoroughly on a blood rotator for 30 minutes

before the sample vials were opened, All measurements

were performed according to the protocol described for the

Lipid Research Clinic program (19).

Total serum cholesterol and triglycerides

Analyses were performed in zeolite-treated isopropanol extracts of serum using an Auto-Analyzer II (AAII—

Tec’hnicon Instruments, Tarrytown, N.Y.), using the

Libmman-Burchard reaction for cholesterol measurement

and the fluorimetric method of Kessler and Lederer (19,20)

for triglyceride measurement. Isopropanol solutions

4
.

of purified cholesterol and triolein standards were provided

by the Clinical Chemistry Standardization Section of CDC.

A serum calibrator was also provided by (XX and was

used to correct the cholesterol measurement to reference

values (21).

Day-to-day quality control was maintained using two

serum control Pook one with normal and one with elevated

concentrations of cholesterol and triglycerides.These pools

were provided by CDC and amdyzcdin quadruplicate with

each analytical run (19).

HDL-C

HDL-C was measured following the precipitation of

apo B-containing lipoprotei~ with heparin and manganese

chloride final concentrations of 13 mgkll and 0.046 M,

respectively (19). The precipitate was sedimented by centrifugation for 30 minutes at 1$)0 xs An aliquot of the

clear supematant was kxtracted with iaopropanou the extract was treated with a zeolite-containing mixture to remove interfering aubstanee%and Cholesterol measured as

described above.

Quality control

AU of the cholesterol, triglyceride, and HDL choktsterol values were taken from analytical runs that were “in

control: and the Iaboratmy was standardized for the measurements according t~ the CDC-NHLBI criteria for cholesterol, triglyceride, and HDL cholesterol standardization

(22).

Ratio of TC to HDL-C

For each sample person 20-74 years of age for whom

TC and HDL-C were determined, the ratio was obtained by

dividingthe TC by the HDL-C.

.

Lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol

For persons fasting 12 hours or more prior to venipuncture, serum LDL was calculated using the Friedewald

equation (13) as followtx

LDL-C = TC - (HDL-C + serum triglyceride/5),

where *1 values are expressed in mg/dl,

Furthermore, LDLC was not calculated for individuals with a serum triglyceride value greater than 400 mgldl,

because the equation is not accurate beyond this value (13).

Analytical issues

Weighting procedures

The estimates presented in this report were weighted

for the three separate target populations. The sample

weights take into account the different sampling probabilities and adjustments for nonresponse and noncoverage. As

a result of these adjustment% the population estimates

closely approximate the targeted population at the midpoint of the respective survey period.

Estimates of TC, HDL-C, and the ratio of TC to

~L-C are based on the final examined weight. The final

examined weight is the product of the reciprocal of the

probability that an individual is in the sample times an

adjustment for nonreapoaae, times an adjustment for noncoverage, and times a poststrat&ation adjustment (used

onIyfor Mexicanhmrkana). Estimates of serum tr@yceride and LDL-C are based on special sample weights

(OGTI’ weights) which were calculated by multiplying the

reciprocal of the probability that an ezmqined person is in

the fasting sample by his fii examined weight (see

appendix I).

Determinhtg percents from the cumulative

tables

The percent of Hispanic persons with a serum triglyceride level between 250 and 500 mgkll and the percent with

a serum triglyceride level of 500 m~dl or more may be

obtained from tables 15-17 showing cumulative percent

distributions for this lipid variable. For example, the percent of Mexican-American mcn ages 20-74 years with

serum triglyceride levels between 250 and 500 mg/dl, 9.4,

may be obtained from table 15 by subtracting the percent

with a serum triglyceride level of leas than 250 mg/~ 89.6,

from the percent with a serum triglyctwidelevel of less than

500 mglw 99.0. The percent of Mexican Americans ages

20-74 years with a serum triglyceride level of 500 mghll or

more (1 percent) maybe obtained from the same table by

subtracdng the percent with a serum triglyceride level of

less than 500 mg/dl, 99, from 100.

Population esthetes

Population estimates by age and sex for the three

Hispanic subgroups in three distinct geographic regions—

Mexicaa Amerieana in the southwest United States, Puerto

Ricans in the New York City area, and Cubans in Dade

County, Florida-are prtxiented in the detailed tables showing prevalence estimates and in appendix L The prevalence

estimates ahownin the detailed tablea can be applied to the

corresponding population size estimatca to obtain the appropriate estimates. For exampkAthe percent of MexicanAmerican women ages 45-54 years with a TC of less than

2G0 mgkil is 87 (table 7). Therefore, the percent of

Mexican-American women in the Southwest with a TC of

260 mg/dl or more is 13 percent (100 - 87). The number of

Mexican-American women ages 45-54 years in the five

Southwest States with a TC of 260 mg/dl or more is

therefore 47,000, the product of 0.13 and 359,oOO(from

table V of appendix 1).

Determination of mean serum lipid and

lipoprotein levels for both sexes

The mean serum lipid levelsfor persons of a given age

group without regard to sex maybe obttined from the data

shown in the fwst five detailed tables and from table V of

appendix I. For example, to obtain the mean TC for

Mexican Americans ages 20-74 years, one would fist

obtain the weight’ sum of TC for Mexican-Americanmen

5
and women ages 20-74 years and divide it by the total

number of Mexican-American men and women in the

population. The weighted sum of TC for

Mexican-American men and women is obtained by taking

the sum of the mean TC level for men, 203 (from table 1)

times the number of men ages 20-74 years in the population, 2,583,000 (from table V of appendix I) and the mean

TC level of women ages 20-74 years, 202 (from table 2)

times the number of Mexican-American women in the

population (2,549,000 from table V of appendix I) or

1,039,247,000. The total number of men and women in the

population is 5,132,000 (2,583,000+ 2,549,000). Therefore, the mean TC level for Mexican Americans ages 20-74

years in the Southwest is

202 = (1,039,247,000/5,132,000).

Reliability of estimates

Estimates of percents, means, standard errors, and

nine selected percentiles (5th, 10th, 15th, 25th, 50th, 75th,

85th, 90th, and 95th) are presented for each lipid variable.

These estimates are stable only if the sample size is sufficiently large. The sample size was sufficiently large for most

subgroups; exceptions are indicated with an asterisk. The

numbers of Cubans and Puerto Ricans 20-74 years of age

fasting 12 hours or more are too small to present age- and

sex-specific distributions for serum triglyceride and LDL-C

levels. Also the numbers for these Hispanic origin groups

are too small to present age- and sex-specific distributions

for TC, HDL-C and the ratio of TC to HDL-C by poverty

income ratio and educational level, Instead, only unadjusted and age-adjusted means and percents are presented

by sex (tables 4, 5, and 24-36). See appendix 11 for a

discussion of data presentation and reliability.

The reliability of the estimated mean or percent depends not only on the sample size but also on its relative

standard error, defined as the ratio of the standard error of

the estimate to the estimate times 100. The larger the

relative standard error of the estimated mean (or percent),

the less reliable the estimate. In some instances, an estimate, although based on a “sufficiently large” number of

examined persons, may have a “large” relative standard

error.

In practice, NCHS has used 25-30 percent as the range

for an upper limit for an acceptable relative standard error

of an estimate. AU estimates of means presented in the

detailed tables of this report have relative standard errors

of less than 25 percent. However, the relative standard

errors for some of the percents that estimate the prevalence

of a “rare” event exceed this criterion, In these instances,

the estimated standard error of the percent is large in

comparison with the estimated percent. For example, the

estimated prevalence of HDL-C levels of less than 35 mg,/dl

for Cuban women ages 20-24 years is 2.7 percent, and its

standard error is 3.2. Therefore, the relative standard error

in this case is 118 percent ((3.2/2.7)x 100).

Cross-sectional nature of data

The cross-sectional data on lipids were obtained from

persons of different ages who represent different birth

cohorts. The age trends show the lipid values for successive

birth cohorts of persons who were of different ages when

examined and may reflect the effect of different environmental as well as hereditary influences. The limitations of

cross-sectional data in contrast to longitudinal data must be

recognized when considering changes with age,

Age of examinee

The chronologic age at the time of interview was the

age criterion for inclusion in the sample. me value used as

a label for each age group in the tables is the integer

referring to age at last birthday at the time of interview.

Hence, “20-24 years” means all adults 20,00 through 24.99,

years with an approximate mean value of 22.50 years.

Poverty status

Poverty status is defined using the poverty income ratio

(PIR) (see appendix IV), A PIR of less than 1 indicates an

income below poverty level; a PIR of 1 or more indicates an

income at or above poverty level.

Education level

Education is defined in terms of years of school attended (see appendix IV). The education groupings am O-8

years, 9–11 years, and 12 years or more.
Selected findings

Some important findings on serum lipids and lipoproteins by demographic (age and sex) and socioeconomic

(poverty income ratio and years of education) variables for

specific groups of Hispanic adults are summarized below.

Statistically significant differences (appendix I) in mean

serum lipid and lipoprotein levels and in the percents are

presented. A nonsignificant result does not necessarily

mean that a real difference does not exist. For a given

difference, the probability of detecting a difference when it

exists is directly related to the sample size. Thus, i! the

sample size is small, one is less likely to detect a difference

when it exists. Observed differences (which may be of

interest even though they are not statistically significant) as

well as descriptive statements about the distributions are

also presented. Estimates of means and percents of Cubans

and Puerto Ricans are based on relatively smaller numbers

of observations than estimates of Mexican Americans (see

appendix I). This is particularly true of the mean serum

triglyceride levels (table 4); mean LDL-C levels (table 5);

and percents with LDL-C less than 130 mgldl, 130-159

mgldl, and greater than or equal to 160 mg/dl (table 24). In

these tables only an unadjusted and an age-adjusted estimate are presented for Cubans and Puerto Ricans 20-74

years of age. These estimates are presented solely to give a

general profile for these Hispanic-origin groups, and comparisons should be made with caution. Smaller sample sizes

generally lead to larger sampling variability. Therefore,

differences among these subgroups may be due to chance.

However, at the present time there is no way of estimating

the standard errors of age-adjusted estimates for E&panics,

and therefore no way of determining whether age-adjusted

differences are due to chance.

These findings do not constitute an exhaustive attempt

to describe all of the tables included in this report. Rather,

they are intended to highlight the data.

The following statements highlight the findings for

Mexican-Anerican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican adults residing in each of the three major geographic areas studied.

The figures are based on Hispanic population estimates at

the midpoint of the survey in the three distinct geographic

areas: Southwest area (selected counties in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas): New York City

area (parts of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut);

and Miami (Dade County, Florida).

Serum cholesterol

● Approximately 852,000 (16.6 percent) Mexican Americans in the Southwest United States, 429,000 men

(16.6 percent) and 421,000 women (16.5 percent), have

a high serum cholesterol level (240 mg/dl or more)

(table 21).

. Approximately 60,000 (18.3 percent) Cubans in Dade

County, F1orida, 26,000 men (17.5 percent) and 34,000

women (18.8 percent), have a high serum cholesterol

level (table 21).

● Approximately 112,000 (17.7 percent) Puerto Ricans in

the New York metropolitan area, 40,000 men (16.8

percent) and 72,000 women (18.2 percent), have a high

serum cholesterol level (table 21).

Approximately 27 percent of all adults 20-74 years of age

in the United States, 27 percent of white adults and 24

percent of black adults, have serum cholesterol levels of

240 m~dl or more (16).

. In general, there were no significant sex or Hispanicorigin differences in the percents with a high TC level

by age group (table 21).

. The mean TC level of Hispanics differs by age within

sex and Hispanic-origin subgroups (table 1).

. The age-adjusted mean serum cholesterol levels of

Mexican-American, Cuban, and Puerto Rican men

ages 20–74 years are 207, 205, and 203 mgldl, respectively. For women, the corresponding values are 207,

199, and 209 mg/dl (table 1).

HDL-C

The mean age-adjusted HDL-C levels of MexicanAmerican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican men are 47.1,

43.4, and 42.3 mg/dl, respectively. For women the

corresponding values are 52.5, 52.2, and 48.7 mg/dl,

respectively (table 2).

An estimated 503,000 Mexican Americans (9.8 percent) —341,000 men (13.2 percent) and 163,000

women (6.4 percent) —have HDL-C levels of less than

35 mg/dl (table 22).

Aa estimated 38,000 Cubans (11.5 percent) –28,000

men (19.0 percent), and 10,000 women (5.3 percent)—

have HDL-C levels of less than 35 mg/dl (table 22).

7
● An estimated 141,000 Puerto Ricans (22.2 percent)–

77,000 men (32.3 percent) and 63,000 women (15.9

percent) –have HDL-C levels less than 35 mg/dl

(table 22).

. In general, the mean HDL-C levels of Hispanic men

and women are independent of age (table 2).

. Hispanic men have consistently higher percents with

HDL-C levels of less tl]an 35 mg/dl and consistently

lower mean HDL-C levels than do women of the same

Hispanic origin and age (table 22 and table 2).

Ratio of serum cholesterol to

HDL-C

●

●

●

●

●

●

The age-adjusted mean ratios of TC to HDL-C for

Mexican-American, Cuban, and Puerto Rican men are

4.70, 5.09, and 5.40, respectively. For women, the

corresponding values are 4.17, 4.01, and 4.73 (table 3).

An estimated 1.97 million Mexican Americans (38.4

percent)–1.2 million men (46.3 percent) and 775,000

women (30.4 percent) —have ratios of TC to HDL-C

greater than or equal to 4.5 (table 23).

An estimated 133,500 Cubans (40.6 percent) –83,000

men (56.6 percent) and 50,000 women (27.4 percent) —have ratios of TC to HDL-C greater than or

equal to 4.5 (table 23).

An estimated 311,000 Puerto Ricans (49.1 percent)–

138,400 men (58.4 percent) and 171,500 women (43.2

percent) —have ratios of TC to HDL-C greater than or

equal to 4.5 (table 23).

Hispanic men have consistently higher percents with

ratios of TC to HDL-C greater than or equal to 4.5 and

consistently higher mean ratios of TC to HDL-C than

do Hispanic women. These results are statistically significant in most instances (table 23 and table 3).

Puerto Rican women tend to have higher percents with

ratios of TC to HDL-C of 4.5 or more and higher mean

ratios of TC to HDL-C than do Mexican-American or

Cuban women of the same age group (tables 3 and 23).

Serum triglyceride

. The age-adjusted mean serum triglyceride levels of

Mexican-American, Cuban, and Puerto Rican men

fasting 12 hours or more are 156, 135, and 120 mg/dl,

respectively. For women, the corresponding values are

140, 104, and 119 mg/dl (table 4).

o Fewer than 3 percent of Mexican-American, Cuban,

and Puerto Rican men and women ages 20–’74 years

have serum triglyceride values of 500 mg/dl clr more,

and fewer than 11 percent have serum triglyceride

values of at least 250-500 mg/dl (table 15).

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol

o The age-adjusted mean LDL-C levels of MexicanAmerican, Cuban, and Puerto Rican men fasting 12

hours or more are 127, 137, and 145 mg/dl, respectively. For women, the corresponding values are 128,

129, and 132 mg/dl (table 5).

a An estimated 749,000 Mexican Americans (lzi.6 percent) —369,000 men (14.3 percent) and :374,000

women (14.7 percent) —have an LDL-C level of 160

mg/dl or more (table 24).

. Between 20 and 35 percent of Cuban and Puerto Rican

men and women have an LDL-C level of 160 mg/dl or

more (table 24).

Socioeconomic status

. Poverty status (income below poverty level vs. income

at or above poverty level) has no significant effect on

mean serum cholesterol, HDL-C level, or ratio of TC

to HDL-C of Mexican Americans (tables 25–30).

● There were no significant differences in mean total

serum cholesterol or HDL-C level or ratio of TC to

HDL-C between Mexican Americans with less than 9

years of education and those with 12 years of education

or more (tables 31–36).

Statistical notes

Survey design

The sample design of the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES) was similar to that of

the previous National Health and Nutrition Examination

Surveys. These studies have used complex, multistage,

stratified, probability cluster samples of civilian noninstitutionalized persons residing in households in the United

States. In hierarchical order, the stages of selection were as

follows: Primaxy sampling unit (PSU), which is a county or

a small group of contiguous counties; census enumeration

district (ED); segment (a cluster of households); household; and sample person.

The major. difference between HHANES and the previous national surveys is that HHANES was a survey of

three special subgroups of the population in selected areas

of the United States rather than a national probability

sample. Even though HHANES was not designed as a

survey representative of all Hispanic persons resicling in the

United States and national estimates cannot be made, the

three HHANES universes included approximately 76 percent of the 1980 Hispanic-origin population in the United

States.

The three subgroups and three areas covered by

HHANES were as follows:

. Mexican-American, selected counties in five Southwest

States (Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico,

and Texas).

.

● Cuban, Dade County, Florida (Miami).

. Puerto Rican, New York City area (New York, New

Jersey, and Connecticut).

There were 229 counties with a 1980 Hispanic population of at least 1,000 that were identified and grouped into

210 PSU’S, each representing a single county or a small

group of counties.

The HHANES Mexican-origin universe for the Southwest consisted of 193 PSU’S; for Puerto Rican-origin, 16

PSU’S; and for Cuban-origin, 1 PSU.

The 1980 census information for the Mexican-origin

population in the Southwest PSU’S was unavailable prior to

stratification; therefore, information based on Hispanics of

all origins was used for the stratification process. The

characteristics of the PSU’S in the Southwest area that were

used as stratification variables were:

1. Number of Hispanics.

2. Percent Hispanic.

3.

4.

5.

the

the

Ratio of the 1980 to the 1970 Hispanic population.

Median income.

Percent urban.

For the New York City area component of HHANES,

corresponding stratification variables were in terms of

number of Puerto Ricans. Stratification was not required for the Miami area component of HHANES because only one PSU, Dade Cmu@, was sampled.

A critical sample design requirement for HHANES

was that each stratum in the Southwest area consist of

appro~”mately equal Hispanic population size, and that

each stratum in the New York City area consist of approximately equal Puerto Rican population size. Equal-size

strata generalIy minimize sampling variances and, at the

same time, permit roughly the same number of sample

intem”ews and examinations at each survey location. This

requirement was satisfied by forming equal-size strata

(clusters), and then applying the same sampling fraction to

each stratum.

As mentioned previously, for the Miami area, Dade

County was the only PSU selected. For the New York City

area, one PSU per stratum was selected with probability

proportional to size (PPS). The Southwest area and the

New York City area universes of PSU’S were stratified

according to the five demographic characteristics presented

earlier.

Moreover, it was deemed desirable to maximize the

probability that the proportion of sample PSU’S in each of

the five Southwest States would correspond to the proportion of the eligible population in each State. Therefore,

during PSU selection for the Southwest area, a slightly

modified version of a procedure introduced by Goodman

and Kish (23) —and summarized in Kish (24) —was employed to obtain a balanced sample with respect to State

while retaining a true probability sample design. A detailed

description of this controlled selection process and its

application to health examination surveys is given in other

NCHS reports (25,11).

The selection of the households within a PSU was

based on the probability “selection. The first stage of sampling the in-scope population consisted of all households

and residents of group quarters (noninstitutional) containing one or more eligible Hispanic persons. Other living

quarters such as military installations and Indian reservations were considered out of scope. The minimum numbers

of eligible Hispanic persons per block group (13G) or

enumeration district (ED) were as follows: 50–100 persons

55
in the Southwest area; G-1OOpersons in the New York City

are~ and about 100 persons in the Miami area.

The main purpose of selecting the households was to

identifi eligible Hispanic families and to select sample

persons from these families to be interviewed and

examined. If the family was eligible for the survey, all

members of that family were eligible to be selected. To

ensure a sufficient sample size in the desired estimation

cells, sample persons were selected according to the sampling rates shown in table I.

The HHANES sample size and response data by age

and sex are shown in tables II–IV. These tables exclude

persons who were non-Hispanic or of an origin that did not

meet the eligibility criteria. Of the 4,735 MexicanAmerican persons 20-74 years of age included in

HHANES in the Southwest area sample, 3,935 (83 percent) were interviewed and 3,326 (70 percent) were interviewed and exqmined (table II). Among the 1,481 Cuban

persons 20-74 years of age sampled in the Miami area,

males and females and the estimated populations they

of the sample survey design, see NCHS (12).

Estimation procedures

Because the design of HHANES is a complex multistage probability sample, the estimates are derived through

a multistage estimation procedure. The procedure consisted of four components:

1.

2.

3.

4.

Inflation of sample person observations by the product

of the reciprocals of the probabilities of selection at

each stage of the design (PSU, segment, household,

and sample person).

Adjustment for nonresponse within homogeneous sociodemographic cells to reduce the potential bias attributable to nonresponse, under the assumption that

within cells the characteristics of the respondents are

similar to those of the nonrespondents.

Adjustment for noncoverage within the PSU to reduce

the potential bias due to the exclusion of BG’s and

ED’s with few Hispanic residents.

Poststratified ratio adjustment by age and sex to make

the final estimates of the population correspond to U.S.

Within each of the three survey areas, all of the examined persons (non-Hispanic as well as Hispanic) were

classified into four subgroups by age (20-44 years and

45-74 years) and sex.

For each of the 12 age, sex, and survey area subgroups

thus formed, the sum of the final examined sample

weights for the total number of sample persons (nonHispanic as well as Hispanic) ~d the sum of the final

examined sample weights for all examined persons in

the fasting sample (non-Hispanic as well as Hispanic)

were calculated.

Nonresponse bias

In any health examination survey such ss HHANES,

there exists the potential for three levels of nonresponsti

household interview nonresponse, examination mnresponse, and item nonresponse. Household interviewnonresponse occurs when the household medical history

questionnaire is not completed. Examination nonresponse

occurs when those sample persons who respond to the

household questions do not come to the examination center

for the examination. Item nonresponse results when sample

persons, interviewers, or examiners do not complete some

portion of either the household interview questionnaire or

the examination protocol.

The potential effect of any nonresponse bias is greater

when response rates are low. Therefore, intense efforts

were undertaken during ~ to develop and implement procedures and inducements that would reduce all

types of nonresponse and thereby reduce the potential for

bias in the survey estimates.

It is difficult to determine the effect of nonresponse

bias. However, rough estimates of bias can be made for an

interview and examination survey such as H13ANES by

comparing the household interview data from sample persons who were examined with interview data from those

who were not examined. Because the interview response

rate is substantially higher than the examination response

rate, nonresponse bias with respect to selected health characteristics may be estimated from the large amount of

medical history data available on nonexamined sample

persons.

Because the examination was considered the most

important analytic component of the survey, a survey “respondent” was defined as a person who had completed the

examination as well as all interviewcomponents. A “nonrespondent~ then, was a sample person who was not examined, regardless of whether any interview data had been

obtained. In the three Hispanic subgroups, 29.8 percent of

the Mexican Americans 20-74 years of age, 41.6 percent of

the Cubans 20-74 years of age, and 30.8 percent of the

Puerto Ricans 20-74 years of age did not complete the

examination. They can be divided into three groups:

1.

2.

3.

Those for whom medical and demographic interview

data were colkcted.

Those for whom only demographic information is

available.

Those about whom nothing is known.

.

59
A comparison of the interview data from these first two

groups and the examined group may provide some understanding of the extent of bias due to nonresponse to the

examination. The group for whom incomplete data are

available accounts for roughly 10 percent of the original

sample and remains a potential source of unmeasurable

error. It is possible that these persons differ substantially

from those who were located and who agreed to participate.

Several reports have been published on the health examination survey issues of nonresponse bias (2G-28) and participation factors (26,29–33).

Examination of selected characteristics of Mexican

Americans who were interviewed but not examined versus

characteristics of those who were interviewed and examined

revealed no substantial differences with respect to these

characteristics (34,35).

For this report, Hispanic examinees with known lipid

determinations were compared with those with unknown

lipid determinations with respect to selected health characteristics. No substantial differences were found.

Missing data

Examination surveys lose information not only through

failure to examine all sample persons, but also from failure

to obtain and record all items of information for examined

persons. Age, sex, and national origin were known for every

examined person. However, for a number of examinees one

or more of the lipid determinations were not available. The

extent of these missing measurements is shown in table IX.

Measures of variability

Because the statistics presented in this report are based

on a sample, they may differ from the figures that would

have been obtained if a complete census had been taken

using the same survey instruments, instructions, inteltiew

and examination personnel, and procedures. The probability design of this survey permits the estimation of standard

errors and variances although the techniques must take the

highly clustered, multistage probability sample design into

account.

Standard error of the mean or percent

The standard error of the mean or percent is primarily

a measure of the extent to which an estimate derived from

many different samples generated by the sample design

would vary fkom sample to sample. As estimated in this

report, it also reflects part of the variation that arises in the

measurement process. The possible bias of the estimate is

not included. The reader should be aware that estimates of

standard errors (and therefore variances) derived from a

complex sample are different from and generally larger

than those calculated under the assumption of simple

random sampling.

Variance

The variance is the square of the standard error of the

mean or percent.

Approach for data analysis

There are two aspects of the HHANES design that

]must be taken into account in analysis-the sample weight

i~nd the complex sample design. Weights are needed to

estimate means, medians, and other descriptive statistics.

IEach person in the sample represents a large number of

people in the target Hispanic population, The sample

weights, which incorporate the selection probabilities, a

nonresponse and noncoverage adjustment, and poststratification (Mexican Americans only), must be used to produce

the correct population estimates.

The strata and PSU from the sample design as well as

sample weights are needed to estimate the standard errors

of the means and percents and to test statistical hypotheses,

The stability of the estimated standard error for a particular

sex, age, and Hispanic origin group is directly related to the

sample size and the number of PSU’S that contain at least

one sample person. The larger the number of sample

persons and number of PSU’S upon which the estimated

standard error is based, the more stable the estimated

standard error.

Even though the total number of examined persons in

this survey is quite large, subclass analyses can lead to

estimates that are unstable, particularly estimates of variances for the Cuban and Puerto Rican samples. Examples

include Cuban females 20-24 years of age and Puerto

Rican females 65-74 years of age.

Sample design and variance estimation

The need for incorporation of the sample design is not

as readily apparent as the need for incorporating weights.

Most of the methods of statistical analysis taught in classes

depend on the assumption of simple random sampling. In

surveys with timplex sample designs, the assumption of

simple random sampling is seldom appropriate. It usually

leads to estimating smaller variances than those estimated

taking the complex sample design into account. The smaller

variances lead to finding more statistically significant differences than would be found using the complex sample

design. A design effect is often used to show the impact of

the complex sample design variance~

Design effect =

Variancea

VarianceW

where CS = complex sample and SRS = simple random

sample.

60
Preliminary analysis of various health-related variables

from HHANES indicated a large variability of design effects for sex- and age-specific subgroups (36). Therefore,

design effects for Hispanic subgroups were averaged in the

following manner:

1.

2.

3.

Design effects were run for each lipid variable by age

and sex and were then averaged over these subgroups.

Design effects were run for each lipid variable by age

and poverty status (below poverty and above poverty—

see appendix III) and were then averaged over these

subgroups.

Design effects were run for each lipid variable by age

and alcohol consumption (maximum consumption of

beer, wine, or liquor: seldom or never versus weekly or

daily, from the HHANES dietary frequency data tape)

(37) and were then averaged over these subgroups.

The average design effects obtained in items 1 and 2

and the average design effects from items 12, and 3 were

then calculated for each lipid variable and the results

compared. Because there was no appreciable difference

between the two results, the former method was used.

These design effects are shown in table X.

If the design effect is near 1, the complex sample design

has little effect on the variances and one coulcl consider

assuming simple random sampling for the analysis.

The following guidelines were used in the calculation

of the average design effects

1. Exclude all persons of non-Hispanic origin.

2. Exclude all estimates for large age ranges, such as all

ages combined or aIl adults.

3. Exclude all estimates where the proportion of the

subpopulation with the specific characteristics or condition was zero percent or 100 percent.

Design effects tend to be larger when age groups are

combined, just as they are when the sexes are combined.

(38)

To obtain the complex sample estimates of variance,

the average design effects shown in table X were multiplied

by the the simple random sample estimates of variance. The

simple random sample estimate of variance used was the

weighted scaled estimate of variance obtained by mukiplying each observation of its normalized weight where

Normalized weight =

Size of analytic sample

Sum of weights for analytic sample

x sample weight

The standard errors shown in the detailed tables were

then obtained by taking the square root of the estimates of

the complex sample variances.

The computer program SESUDAAN (39) was used to

compute the age-specific design effects that am the basis

for the average design effects. Estimates for large age

ranges, such as “all ages combined” or “all adults,” are not

included in these averages.

The statistical approach used for computing the complex sample variances in SESUDAAN is a first-order TayTable X. Average design effects for lipid determinations of

Testing statistical hypotheses

In this report, in testing the equality of means or

percents (denoted by @)–that is, in testing hypotheses of

the form

HO:91=e,

against the alternative

H+ 91# 92

the statistic

was used, where al denotes the estimated mean or percent

of subgroup 1-(for example, Mexican-American men ages

20-24 years); 9Z denotes the estimated mean or percent of

subgroup 2 (for example, Mexican-American women ages

20-24 years); and ~ VAR (91_ OJ, de otes the stand;d

error of the difference between /) ~and 8 ~

Vm (6,– ~z), the square of the denominator of (l),

was estimated by

VA.R(d,+= Var@l+vAR(6,)

= (S.E. (~1))’ + (S.E. (~,))’ (2)

where S.E. @J represents the standard-error of the mean

or percent for subgroup 1 and S.E. ((3J represents the

standard error of the mean or percent for subgroup 2, both

61
estimated by the design effect approach, which takes into

consideration the complex sample design.

The covariance is assumed to be zero. This leads to a

. .

slight overestimate of VAR (61 —Elz), because the covariance term in general is positive. Thus in borderline cases,

the null hypothesis would be less likely to be rejected (42).

The statistic given in equation 1 is assumed to have

Student’s t distribution with degrees of freedom equal to

the number of strata with observations in both paired

PSU’S. The maximum number of degrees of freedom for

this statistic in HHANES is 8. In testing hypotheses concerning the means of total serum cholesterol, HDL-C, and

the ratio of serum cholesterol to HDL-C without regard to

poverty status or education and in testing hypotheses concerning percents, this statistic was assumed to have 8

degrees of freedom. However, in testing hypotheses concerning mean serum triglycerides and LDL cholesterol and

in testing hypotheses concerning the effects of poverty and

education on total cholesterol, HDL-C, and ratio, the

degrees of freedom for this statistic were sometimes less

than 8. The numbers of degrees of freedom that is the

number of strata with observations in both paired PSU’S for

the Student’s t statistic are given in tables XI–XIV.

In testing statistical hypotheses in this report, an a level

(probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true)

of 0.05 was assumed.

years of age), the Bonforoni method was used to acljust for

multiple comparisons. In this report there were three implied comparisons: Mexican Americans versus Cubans,

Mexican Americans versus Puerto Ricans, and Cubans

versus Puerto Ricans. Therefore, to apply, the Bonforoni

method, the overall a level of 0.05 was divided ,by 3 to

obtain the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis concerning a given implied comparison when it is true. If the

probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true

for a given comparison P(AL), i = 1,2,3 is less than 0.05/3

==0.0167, the Bonforoni inequality

(3)

guarantees that the overall a level for the null hypothesis

concerning all three ethnic groups is less than 0.05.

Age adjustment

The age-adjusted means and percents presented in this

report were calculated by the direct method and were

adjusted to the age distribution of the civilian noninstitutionalized 1980 census population. Because age distributions

differ by sex and specified Hispanic origin, comparisons

should be made using age-adjusted values. Age-adjusted

data for sex and specified Hispanic origin groups can be

compared directly, as the values assume identical age distributions for all subgroups. These adjusted or standardized

values are meaningful only when comparing subgroups of

the population to control for confounding by age.

62
Appendix II

National origin recode

In the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination

Survey (HHANES), if any family member was identified as

being an eligible Hispanic person (as defined below), all

members of that person’s family, regardless of origin, were

eligible to be selected as sample persons (NCHS, 1985).

Thus, it was possible to include sample persons in the total

sample who were either non-Hispanic or Hispanic, but not

of the appropriate origin for inclusion in the analysis of a

specified subgroup in a given portion of the survey. The

national origin recode specifies whether a sample person

was considered to be “Hispanic” (recode 1), “non-eligible

Hispanic” (recode 2), or “non-Hispanic” (recode 2) for

purposes of analysis. “Hispanic” is defined as

Ma”can-American, residing in the Southwest are%

Cuban, residing in Dade County, Florid% or

PuertoRican, residing in the New York City area.

The recode was assigned as follows (see table XIV for

original codes):

Southwest area

If the original national origin or ancestry response code

(from the Household Screener Questionnaire) was 1,2,3,

8, 10, or 11, then National o~iginrecode = 1.

If the original national origin or ancestry was 4,5,6,7,

9, or O but the person specified Mexican/Mexicano, Chicano, or Mexican-American on the adult sample person

questionnaire, or if the person was the biological child of a

household member with recode equal to 1 (as determined

by questions Al-All on the Family Questionnaire), then

National otigin recode = 1.

In all other cases, National originrecode = 2.

If the original national origin or ancestry code was 4 or

5, then National originrecode = 1.

If national origin or ancestry was 1,2,3,6,7,8,9, or O

but the person specified Boricuan or Puerto Rican on the

adult sample person questionnaire (question M1O), or if

the person was the biological child of a household member

with recode equal to 1 (as determined by questions Al–All

on the Family Questionnaire), then National oriq”n

recode =1.

In all other cases, National originrecode = 2.

Use of recode

The national origin recode may be used in analysis in

one of two ways. First, selecting on recode = 1 [as has been

done for this report) will restrict analysis to “Hispanics”

only. In this case, in the Southwest area of the survey, the

weighted estimates by age and sex will approximately equal

U.S. Bureau of the Census population estimates of the

number of Mexican Americans and a small proportion of

other Hispanics assumed to be Hispaiio in the Southwest

area (selected counties in Arizona, California, Colorado,

New Mexico, and Texas) at the midpoint of the Mexican

American portion of HHANES-March 1983. The

weighted estimates for Cubans represent an independent

estimate of the number of Cubans in Dade County at the

midpoint —February 1984. The weighted estimates of

Puerto Ricans represent an independent estimate of the

number of Puerto Ricans in the sample counties in New

York, New Jersey, and Connecticut at the midpoint of the

Puerto Rican portion–September 1984.

Second, using recode greater than O,that is, all sample

persons, will include “Hispanic” and “non-Hispanic” persons; and the Southwest weighted estimates by age and sex

will overestimate the U.S. Bureau of the Census population

estimates of Mexican Americans and other Hispanics by

about 4.5 percent. In Dade County, using recode greater

than O will increase the weighted estimates by about 5.3

percent over that for Cuban Americans only; and using

recode greater than O for the New York City area will

increase the weighted estimates by about 9.2 percent over

that for Puerto Ricans ordy.

Appendix Ill

Data presentation and

reliability

The estimates in this report numerically describe the

distribution of serum lipids and lipoproteins in certain

population “groups. Among the descriptive measures are

means, percentiles, percents, percent distributions, and

standard errors of the means or percents.

The, mean value for a population group is the sum of

each value times its weight in the group divided by the sum

of the weights for that group. It is a measure of central

tendency; that is, it indicates where the center of the

distribution of observations for a given subgroup is located.

The prevalence rate for a population is the proportion of

persons believed to be at risk for a particular condition or

disease in the population or who exhibit the condition,

disease, or risk characteristic at a given time. It is estimated

using the percent of persons in the sample with that

characteristic. Age-adjusted means and percents assume

that each group has the same age distribution, thus adjusting for the effect of age and allowing comparison of combined mean values among population groups.

A percentile is a value that indicates the percent of

people in a population with a value less than or equal to the

percentile value. Of particular interest is the 50th percentile

or median, which has the property that half of the observations are less than or equal to it and half are greater than it.

This measure is used instead of the mean as a measure of

central tendency in instances where the distribution of

observations is highly skewed,

The standard error of the mean or percent is a statistic

used in constructing confidence intervals and in testing

statistical hypotheses. The accuracy of the estimate is directly related to its standard error. The estimates with

smaller standard errors are generally more accurate than

those with larger standard errors. Standard errors estimated from complex sample designs have a x distribution,

with degrees of freedom equal to the number of strata with

observations in both paired PSU’S. For further discussion

of these measures, see appendix I.

The statistical guidelines used in this report for reporting means, standard errors, and percentiles are as follows.

Means and percents:

. If the sample size in the cell was less than 25, the

estimated sample mean or percent is not reported.

. If the sample size was 25-44, the sample ]mean or

percent is reported with an asterisk (*) beside it to

indicate that the statistic does not meet the reliability

standard.

● If the sample size was 45 or more, the sample mean or

percent is presented without caveat.

Standard error of the mean or percent:

ID If the sample size in the cell was less than 25, no

estimated values for the standard error are presented.

Percentile*

Cumulative percent distributions

If the sample size is less than 25, the cumulative

percent distribution is not presented. Even though cumulative percent distributions are presented when the sample

size is between 25 and 44, percents less than specified

cutpoints are unstable and therefore should be applied with

caution. If the sample size is less than 50 or between 50 and

100, percents of less than specified cutpoints at the tails of

the distribution are unstable.

Appendix IV

Definitions of

demographic and

socioeconomic terms

Poverty level

The poverly levels used in this report are based on the

poverty income ratio (PIR). Poverty statistics published in

the U.S. Bureau of the Census reports (43) are based on

the poverty index developed by the Social Security Administration in 1961. For a detailed discussion of the Administration poverty standards, see Orshansky (44,45).

Modifications in the definition of poverty were adopted in

1969 (46). The standard data series in poverty for statistical

use by all executive departments and establishments has

been set (47).

The two components of the PIR are the total income of

the household 12 months prior to interview, adjusted for

family characteristics (numerator) and the total income

necessary to maintain a family with the given characteristics

on a nutritionally adequate food plan (denominator).

The denominator, or poverty income cut off, varies

with the number of persons in the family, the adult-child

composition of the family, the age of the reference person,

and the month and year in which the f~amily was

interviewed.

Poverty thresholds published in Bureau of Census

reports (43) are based on calendar years and were adjusted

to reflect differences caused by inflation between calendar

years and 12-month income reference periods to which the

numerator of the PIR refers, (For a more detailed expkmation of this adjustment, see pages 68 and 69 of

reference 37.)

The annual income considered to be the poverty level

increases as the family increases. If a fa&ly wi~h any

combination of characteristics has been designated as having a PIR or poverty Ievel of 1.0, then the same family with

twice the income would have a PIR of 2.0. Ratios of less

than 1.0 can be described as %elow poverty,” ratios greater

than or equal to 1.0 as “at or above poverty.”

Poverty thresholds are computed on a national basis

only. No attempt has been made to adjust these thresholds

for regional, State, or other variations in the eat of living.

Noncash public welfare benefits, such as food stamp bonuses, are not included in the income of low-income families receiving these benefits. A more detailed explanation of

the eakdation of PIR has been presented elsewhere (37).

Educational level

Educational level is defined as the highest grade attended in a regular public or private school giving formal

edueation during the day or night, on either a full-time or a

part-time basis. A “regular” school advances a person

toward an elementzuy or high school diploma or a college,

university, or professional school degree. Education reeeived in vocational, trade, or business schools outside the

regular school system was not counted in determining the

highest grade completed. For those who attended school in

a foreign country, at an ungraded school, under a tutor, or

under other speekd circumstances, the nearest equivalent

of the highest grade attended was obtained.
