Introduction

This report presents descriptive hematological and

nutritional biochemistry data by sex, race, age, and

poverty status (Poverty Index) for civilian noninstitutionalized persons ages 6 months-74 years from the

second National Health and Nutrition Examination

Survey. These descriptive data provide clinicians and

researchers with reference information that can be used

to (1) identify distributional differences among population subgroups of epidemiologic interest, (2) suggest

reference ranges for speciilc population subgroups, and

(3) identify values of patient test results that maybe of

medical concern. In addition, these data will enable

those public health officials who fonmdate health policies

and programs to identify subpopulations at risk of medicd or nutritional problems, or to identify the need for

fimther study to determine potential public health concerns that exist among spectlc groups.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination

Survey is an expansion of the National Health Examination Survey. The surveys are designed to collect data

by direct standardized examination of a sample of the

population. Direct examinations, coupled with clinical

tests and measurements, are the only source of prevalence data regarding umecoguized anduntreateddiseases

and are the best source for standardized clinical, physical,

and physiological data. The three programs of the National Health, Examination Survey (1959–1970)1-3

focused on selected aspects of illness and health for

three age groups of the ppulation. For example, each

survey obtained data on height and weight, other body

measurements, dental health, selected chronic conditions, vision and hearing levels, and other assessments

of health status.

In 1971, responsibility for monitoring the nutritional status of the population was added and the National Health Examination Survey became the National

Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The fust

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

(NHANES I), conducted from April 1971 through

June 1974, was designed to assess overall health status,

with particula emphasis on dental herdth, skin problems,

eye conditions, and the nutritional status of the population 1–74 years of aged For adults 25–74 years of

age, examinations for determiningg the prevalence of

chronic lung disease; disabling arthritis of the hip, knee,

or lower spine; cardiovascular disease; and hearing

levels were included. In addition, information on health

care needs and general well-being was obtained. This

segment of the NHANES I program was followed by a

15-month period (July 1974–October 1975) in which

an additional national sample ofpersons 25–74 years of

age was given the detailed examination to augment the

size of the sample originally included in NHANES I.

This study is referred to as the National Health and

Nutrition Examination Survey, Augmentation Cycles

The second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 11)was conducted from 1976

through 1980 and is the source of data for this report. It

provides the opportunity to assess the population’s health

and nutritional status and also to assess some aspects of

change over time.G Aspects of measuring nutritional

status included a physicisn’s examination, medical history information, body measurements, laboratory assessments on blood and serum, and a dietary interview. Also

included in NHANES II were tests and procedures that

provide data on diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease,

hypertension, cer&in allergies, disc degeneration, pulmonary function, hem-kg and speech problems, and exposure to certain potentially toxic substances.

For the second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, examinations began in February 1976

and ended in February 1980. During this period, mobile

examination centers were moved to 64 locations selected

from 1,924 primary sampling units (PSU’S) into which

the United States is divided. Each PSU is a standard

metropolitan statistical area, a county, or a group of two

or three contiguous counties. The areas and persons for

the survey were chosen by complex sampling techniques,

in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of the Census, to

1
provide a representative sample ofthe civilian noninstitutionalized population,

As in previous examination surveys, NHANES II

consisted of two components. The household interview

component involved collecting socioeccmomic and demographic information on the family and sample persons

within the family and completing a medical histo~

questionnaire for sample persons. The U.S. Bureau of

the Census performed the initial household interviews

and aided in the scheduling of appointments for examination, The examination component consisted ofinterviews

and a series of tests and procedures that included:

0 A general medical examination and screening by a

physician including additional medical history information.

o Body measurements.

o A dietary interview,

o Laboratory tests on whole blood, serum, and urine

specimens.

o Selected tests such as electrocardiograms and X-rays.

The examination component was performed in mobile examination centers specially designed for this

study. Thus, environment and equipment contributions

to differences between examination findings from one

sample location to another were minimized. The fulltime examination teams were specifically trained to

follow the study protocols, which provided for standardization and evaluation of their performance.

The entire sample consisted of 27,801 persons ages

6 months through 74 years. Of these, 20,322 persons

were interviewed and examined, a response rate of 73.1

percent. More detail on the sample design and conduct

of the survey is presented in appendix I.

The hematological and nutritional biochemistry

determinations presented in this report are defined and

described in appendix II. They are as follows:

A short summarv. of findings focusing on persons

ages 3–74 years, as well as a description of tables, is

presented in the “Selected Findings” section of this

report.

Because some of the determinations for children

ages 6 months–2 years were obtained by either skin

puncture or venipuncture procedures, these data are

presented separately from persons 3-74 years. Further,

the data for children ages 6 months–2 years are not

presented for the nutritional biochemistries because the

amount of missing data for serum iron, serum total ironbinding capacity, erytbrocyte protoporphyrin, and tmnsferrin saturation was more than 60 percent; the major

reasons for missing data were refusal by the parent to

have the venipuncture performed on the child or the

technician’s inability to obtain the venipuncture blood

sample without unduly upsetting the child.

Other NHANES II biochemical determinations,

including the anemia-related assays of serum ferritin,

serum folate, serum vitamin B, ~, and red blood cell

folate will be presented in future publications.

The income levels, which take into account family

income, family size, sex of head of household, and farnd

nonfann information specific to the household are defined as poverty and nonpovetiy, The term “poverty” is

used to describe a poverty income ratio less than 1, and

the term “nonpoverty” is used to describe a poverty

income ratio of 1 or more. A glossary of all terms is in

appendix II.
Specimen collection and

processing

Collection

Serum, plasma, and whole blood specimens were

collected from survey participants by the National Center

for Health Statistics (NCHS) field laboratory personnel and were sent to the Centers for Disease Control

(CDC), Atlanta, Ga., from 64 different field locations

during the survey. These blood specimens were inventoried and distributed for analyses to CDC laboratories

as well as to other laboratories.

Venipuncture

The primary area from which the blood was drawn

was the antecubital fess a; the dorsum of the hand was a

secondary site. The area was cleansed with alcohol and a

tourniquet was applied proximal to the site. Once the

needle was inserted into the vein, the tourniquet was

released to free the flow of blood. If a venipuncture was

unsuccessful on children under 5, a skin puncture was

attempted.

Skin puncture

One of the middle fingers was selected and cleaned

with surgical soap, sprayed with silicone (to minimize

lead contamination), and was allowed to dry for several

minutes before blood was taken. The fingertip was punctured with a lancet along the lateral side of the finger

where there are fewer nerve endings. Blood flow was

facilitated by applying a gentle pressure on the finger.

Undue milking of the finger was avoided.

Processing

The hemoglobin and hematocnt determinations and

red blood cell and white blood cell counts were performed in the mobile examination centers. All other

processed blood specimens from one “srunple person”

(with the exception of the hematology lavender-top

tube) to be analyzed at CDC were placed in a sealable

plastic bag, frozen in an upright position, and shipped to

the Nutritional Biochemishy Branch, Clinical Chemistry Division, Center for Environmental Health (formerly the Bureau of Labs), CDC, Atlanta, Ga., to be

processed. Shipments were made by priority mail, on a

daily basis, in a large shipper containing the frozen

samples and 12 pounds of cake Dry Ice.

Upon an-ival at CDC, the specimens were sorted by

planned assessment and were stored at –20”C (with the

exception of vitamin A vials, which were stored at

–70”C.

Peripheral blood smears were made in the mobile

examination center and were sent each week to the

Division of Host Factors (formerly the Hematology

Division, Bureau of Labs), Center for Infectious Diseases, CDC. Hematology tubes were refrigerated and

shipped to CDC on a weekly basis in a small shipper

with coolant to maintain sample integrity.

Brief descriptions of the analytic methods used for

the hematological and biochemical determinations are

presented in appendix III. A more detailed description

of the biochemical methods has been published.7

Data presentation and reliability

A number of statistical measures are used in this

report to numerically describe the distribution of each

hematological and biochemical variable. Among the

descriptive measures are means (arithmetic and ageadjusted), percentiles, and cumulative percent distributions.

The arithmetic mean is a measure of the average

value. The age-adjusted mean is adjusted for the effect

of age and allows comparison of overall mean values

among population subgroups. The percentiles are used

to describe the position or ranking of an individual in

comparison with the rest of the people who are in the

distribution. Finally, the cumulative percent distribution allows the users to choose their own cutoff points in

estimating prevalence categories.

The statistical guidelines used in this document for

reporting means, standard deviations, standard errors

of the means, and percentiles are as follows:

1. Means

a, If the sample size was less than 25, then the

value of the estimated sample mean is not reported.

h Jfthe sample size was 25–44, the sample mean

is reported to give an impression of the observed

distribution but an asterisk is placed beside it to

indicate that the statistic does not meet the reliability standard because the distribution of the

sampling error may not be normal in some

cases,

c. If the sample size was 45 or more, the sample

mean is presented without caveat.

2. Standard deviations and standard errors of the

means

a, Ifthe sample size was less than 25, no estimated

values for the standard deviation and standard

error of the mean are presented.

b, Ifthe sample size was 25 or more and the observations were distributed among the primary sampling units (PSU’S) so that less than 12 pseudostrata had observations in both of the paired

PSU’S, then the values are presented, but an

asterisk was placed beside them to indicate that

the estimator may be very unstable.

c. Ifthe sample size was 25 or more and the observations were distributed among the PSU’;S so

that 12 or more pseudostrata had observations

in both of the paired PSU’S, the standard deviation and standard error of the mean are presented without caveat.

3. Percentiles

a. The following sample sizes were required for

the presentation of percentile estimators given

in this report:

SamOle size Percentile

10. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . .. .. .. . 50th

20 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 25th and 75th

100 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5th and 95th

b. If these minimum sample sizes were not met,

there is an asterisk in the cell.

This report does not indicate what levels should be

used to describe the prevalence of low or high values for

each variable. It is not the intent ofthe report to set guidelines or standards, but to present the data forreferenco so

that users may review the distributions and select their

own cutoff levels.

Each detailed table in this report contains the nurnlber

of examined persons and the estimated population. There

are three types of tables, differing according to the way

the data are presented: I

1. TypeA presents the mean, standard deviation, standard error of the mean, and selected percentiles by

race and age for each sex.

2. Type II presents age-adjusted mean and standard

error of the mean by sex, age, race, and poverty

status.

3, Type C presents cumulative percent distribution by

race and age for each sex.

Selected findings

NHANES II hematological and biochemical measures represent the most recent cross-sectional data

from which estimates can be generalized to the U.S.

population. These cross-sectional data were obtained

for different age cohorts. The limitations of crosssectional data should be recognized when evaluating

differences among age cohorts as these differences include changes over time.

Statements made in this report concerning differences in mean biochemical values are of two types:

(1) statements based on results of statistical test of significance, and (2) statements based on observed differences in mean values (which are not tested for statistical

significance but may be of interest fi-om a descriptive

standpoint). Statistical methods are described in appendix I. A succinct description of each of the determinations presented in this report is found in appendix II.

Table B presents the international system of units (S1)

and the former system of units for selected assessments.

The findings presented in the text are selective and

are not exhaustive of all possible findings shown in the

detailed tables.

Hematology

The mean hemoglobin and hematocrit levels of

males and females ages 3–74 years by race and ago are

presented in tables 1–4. The age-adjusted mean hem~

globin and hematocrit levels by poverly statm, sex,

race, and selected age groups are presented in tables 5-6.

There were no significant diRerences in mean hemoglobin or mean hematocrit levels by sex for chibiren

in the age categories 3–11 years.

Males have significantly higher mean hemoglobin

and hematocrit levels than females in age categories

12–74 years. The differences varied by age group

from 0.6-2.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL) for henmglobin, and from 1.4-5,3 percent for hematocrit.

These signillcant differences in mean hemoglobin

and hematocrit levels were also found for ages 12

through 74 years between white males and females

and between black males and females.

White males in each age category had consistently

higher mean hemoglobin andhematocrit levels than

black males. The same pattemwas obsemedbetween

white and black females. The difference in mean

hemoglobin ranged from 0.4–1. 1 g./dL and the difference in mean hematocrit ranged from 0.4–1.9

percent.

Males ages 65-74 years had signitlcantly lower

mean hemoglobin levels than males in the age categories 18-64 years.

Age-adjusted mean hemoglobin values for persons

at the nonpoverty level were 0.2–0.4 g/dL higher

than those for persons at the poverty level for each

sex, Similar findings were noted for hematocrit

values, with differences ranging from 0.0-0.8

percent.

The black-white differences in age-adjusted mean

hemoglobin values were present fibo~ the pover@

and nonpoverty categories.

The mean red blood cell and white blood cell counts per

liter (L) for males and females ages 3–74 years by race

and age are shown in tables 7–1 O.Tables 11-12 show

the age-adjusted mean red blood cell and mean white

blood cell counts by poverty status, sex, race, and age.

●

●

●

The observed mean red blood cell counts were

generally the same (about 4.5 X 101Z/L) for children ages 3–1 1 years by sex, race, and age group.

For each age group 12–74 years there were significant diiTerences (0.3–0.7 X 10IZ/L) between

males and females for each race, with males having

the higher values.

There was little or no difference (O.1 X 101Z/L) in

the age-adjusted mean red blood cell counts by sex,

age, race, and poverty status.

The mean white blood cell count for females ages

12-14 years (7. 1 X 10g/L) was significantly lower

than that for females ages 3-5 years (7.9X 10g/L).

For males, the decrease was also significant (7.6X

10g/L to 6.9 X 10g/L) for the same age groups.

The mean white blood cell counts of males in age

categories 15-74 years showed no consistent pattern. The pattern for females showed a signiilcant

decrease from 7.7 X 10g/L at ages 15-17 years to

6.8 X 10g/L in the age range 55–74 years.

For each sex, black persons in tie age groups 3–74

years had consistently lower mean white blood cell

counts than white persons did. Differences ranged

from 0.6-1.3 X 10g/L between males and 0.2–1.4

X 10g/L between females.

The differences in a~e-adiusted mean white blood

cell counts between-tie ;aces were still observed

when poverty status was taken into account.

The mean corpuscukrvolume (MCV), mean corpuscuh

hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin

concentration (MCHC) by race and age are presented

for males aud females in tables 13-18. The agwuijusted

mean levels for these variables by poverty status, sex,

race, and age are shown in tables 19-21.

●

●

●

The MCV increased with age from the low eighties

to about 90 femtoliters (fL) regardless of sex and

race. The values for black persons averaged about

1 fL lower than those for white persons.

The MCH for black persons was about 1 picogram

(Pg) lower than that for whites (30 versus 29 pg).

The MCEI generally increased with age for each

race-sex group. For white persons the mean MCH

increased with age from about 28 pg to 31 pg. For

black persons the increase was from 27 to 30 pg.

The MCHC for males ages 3–74 years was 0.5

g/dL higher than that for females (34.3 versus 33.8

g/dL). Within sex groups, black persons averaged

about 1 g/dL less than white persons did.

The cumulative percent distribution of hemoglobin and

hematocrit levels, and red blood cell and white blood

cell counts of males and females by race and age are

presented in tables 22–29. The cumulative percent

distribution of the hematologic indexes (MCV, MCH,

and MCHC) of males and females by race and age are

shown in tables 30–35.

Nutritional biochemist

The mean erytbrocyte protoporphyrin levels of

males and females are presented in tables 36–37 by

race and age, and in table 38 by poverty status, sex,

race, and age. The cumulative percent distribution of

erythrocyte protoporphyrin of males and females by

race and age are presented in tables 39–40.

. The observed mean erythrocyte protoporphyrin

levels were higher for females than for males in each

age category except in 9–11 years. These differences were also observed for white males and

females in all age categories. Except for ages 6–8

and 55–64 years, black females had higher values

than black males did.

. A mean erythrocyte protoporphyrin level of 46

micrograms per deciliter red cell (pg/dL red cells)

or more was observed for males. A mean level of

53 pg/dL red cells or more was observed for females.

The highest level observed was 60 pg/dL red cells

for both males and females at ages 3–5 years.

Serum iron, serum total iron-binding capacity, and

transfenin saturation levels are shown in tables 41-46

for males and females for each race-sex group. Ageadjusted mean levels for these determinations are presented in tables 47-49 by poverty status for each sex

and each race-sex group. The cumulative percent

distributions are shown in tables 50–55.

● Mean serum iron levels were si~lcantly higher

for males than for females in all age categories 15

years and over. This same pattern was observed for

7
white males and females. Differences ranged horn

about 7–1 1 micrograms per deciliter (@dL) across

age categories for both groups. The differences in

serum iron values between black males and females

ranged from 1-21 @dL, These differences were

not always statistically signiilcant.

The mean serum iron levels of black females were

consistently lower than those of white females for

each age category. Differences ranged from about

2@dL at ages 3–5 years to about 14pg/dL at ages

55-64 yews. Except for ages 18-24 years, black

males had lower observed mean serum iron levels

than white males did. The magnitude of differences

ranged from about 2 pg/dL at ages 18–24 years to

about 17 @dL at ages 45–54 years.

Mean serum total iron-binding capacity of both

males and females ages 18 years and older generally

decreased with age from 374 to 348 Ng/dL for

males and from 394 to 360 pg/dL for females. This

pattern was observed for each race-sex group.

Males for each age category 15 years and older had

higher observed mean trrinsfenin saturation levels

than females did. This trend was reversed in age

categories less than 15 years, although the ditTerences were smaller, Mean trzmsferrin saturation

levels ranged between 28 and31 percent for males

and between 25 and 27 percent for females ages 15

years and older; between 23 and 24 percent for

males and between 23 and 26 percent for females in

age categories less than 15 years.

White persons had generally higher mean transferring

saturation levels than black persons did for comparable age and sex categories. Observed differences

were generally 4 percent or less. These differences

were maintained when the transferring saturation

values were adjusted for age,,

Serum zinc, serum copper, serum vitamin C, and serum

albumin levels of persons ages 3–74 years for each sex

and each race-sex group are shown in tables 56–63.

The age-adjusted mean levels of each of these assessments are presented in tables 64-67, and the cumulative

percent distributions are presented in tables 68-75.

0 The mean serum zinc levels of males in each age

category 15 years and over were significantly

higher than the mean levels of females. Differences

ranged from about 3 p~dL at ages 65–74 years to

11 pg/dL at 18–24 years. Differences of the same

magnitude were observed for white persons by sex,

For both males and females, black persons in the

age group 3–74 years were observed to have serum

zinc levels 2-3 @dL lower than white persons did.

This finding was not observed in each of the age

categories.

zinc levels than males at the poverty income level

(90 versus 86 pg/dL); there was, however, no observed difference in mean serum zinc of females for

the same age group. Racial di.iTerenceswere observed

within each income level, with black persons having

the lower values. The dfierences were generally of

the same magnitude (2-3 pg/dL).

Mean serum copper levels of males ages 3-11

years were si~lcantly higher than the levels of

males in the age group 12–64 years.

Females ages 15 years rmd older had significantly

higher mean serum copper levels than males of the

same age categories. Differences ranged from 38

pIzJdL in the age group 18-24 years to 12 pg/dL at

ages 65–74 years. Similar findings were ako observed for white females versus white males,, The

mean copper levels of black females ages 15 years

snd older were significantly higher than the mean

copper levels of black males for each age category

except for ages 65-74 years.

Black persons, by sex, had higher observed mean

serum copper levels than white persons, The mean

values for ages 3–74 years were 111 versus 125

@dL for white and black males, respectively, and

133 versus 146 @dL for white and black females,

respectively.

The age-adjusted mean copper levels were higher

for all sex and race-sex groups at the poverty

income level than at the nonpoverty income llevel.

The differences between income levels were less

than 11 pgjdL across all age-sex-race groups.

Mean serum copper levels of females regardless of

poverty status were statistically higher than those of

males for ages 3–74 years (117 versus 138 pg/dL

at poverty and 112 versus 133 pg/dL at nonpoverty

income levels). All age-adjusted mean levels of

females were statistically higher than those of mlsles.

A narrow range of values was observed for mean

serum vitamin C. The values of children underage

15 years ranged from 1.1-1.7 milligrams per deciliter

(mg/dL) by sex, race, and age, The mean values for

persons in the age groups 15–74 years ranged from

0.7-1.3 mpJdL for all sex and race-sex groups.

Adult males had consistently lower vitamin C

levels (O.1-0.4 mg/dL) than females for each age

category 18 through 74 years.

Mean serum vitamin C levels of black persons were

consistently lower than those for white persons by

sex and age (O.1–0.4 mg/dL for black versus white

males and O.1–0.5 mg/dL for black versus white

females).

With one exception, age-adjusted mean vitamin C

levels of males and females were higher at the nonpoverty income level than at the poverty income

Appendix 1. Statistical notes

Introduction

This report is based on data collected in the second

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

(NHANES II) from February 1976 through Februsry

1980. NHANES II, conducted by the National Center

for Heslth Statistics (NCHS), was a survey of the

civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population (including

Alaska and Hawaii) 6 months through 74 years of age.

Both interview and examination procedures were used

to collect a broad spectrum of demographic, socioeconomic, and morbidity data and related medical and

nutritional information. During household interviews,

demographic, socioeconomic, and some of the medical

history data were obtained from sample persons. Specially designed mobile examination centers, transported

to each sample location, provided standardized conditions and equipment for the dietary interview, medical

examination, and related clinical tests and procedures,

Sutvey design

NHANES II utilized a stratied, multistage design

that provided for the selection of samples at each stage

with a known probability. In hierarchical order, the

stages ofselection were primary sampling units (PSUs—

a PSU is a county or a small group of contiguous

counties); census enumeration districts (ED’s); segments

(a segment is a cluster of households); households;

eligible persons; and, finally, sample persons.

The fust-stage sampling units selected in the previous National Health Examination Survey and

NHANES I surveys were subsets of the sample PSUS

in the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS),

another major data collection program of NCHS. In

NHIS the United States is subdivided into 1,924

PSU’S, with 376 of the PSU’S being selected for the

sample. Sixty-five of these 376 sample PSU’S were

selected as the NHANES I sample. The PSUS used in

previous examination surveys were defined either as a

single county or as a group of contiguous counties

(except in certain parts of New England). Many of the

larger PSU’S were defined as standard metropolitan

statistical areas (SMSA’S) and often contained ~several

counties. The PSU’S that contained several counties

and covered a large area were not ideally suitecl for an

examination smey. Attempting to survey large geographic areas from a centrally located examination

center created a number of logistical problems,, Some

examinees had been asked to travel more than 50 miles

to be examined, while others had been asked to travel

through very congested areas. Many respondents were

reluctant to travel under such conditions. The cost of

followup visits to the households was also a function of

the distance or time from the examination center. The

results of an qnalysis of the response rates for several

locations in ~NES I supported these assumptions,

The use of smaller areas as PSU’S would reduce both

the average distance traveled to the examination, center

by examinees and the cost of the fieldwork. The~seconsiderations were the basis for redeftig and restrdifying

the PSU’S in NHANES II.

In the NHIS, 156 of the 376 PSU’S are selfkepresenting SMSA’S. It was these 156 self-representing

SMSA’S in the NHIS design that were redefined and

restratiled for the NHANES II design.

For NHANES II, the self-representing PSKJ’Sin

NHIS were fust split along county boundaries. ‘Within

each region, each of the counties was classified as being

either a self-representing or a non-self-representing

PSU. The PSU’S that were non-self-representing were

further combined into homogeneous classes or strata

equal in size to the NHIS strata containing nc~n-selfrepresenting PSUs.

The effect of subdividing the 156 self-representing

PSU’S in NHIS and redefining the PSUS by using

county boundaries resulted in a total of 397 PSU’S, of

which 198 were defined as self-representing and 199

were defined as non-self-representing. The latter were

used to form 43 non-self-representing strata, which

were combined with the other 220 non-self-representing

PSU’S in NHIS. The average population of a self164
representingPSU was reduc.dfmm 838,000to 584,000.

The average size of these PSU’S was reduced more than

60 percent in area, from 2,185 square miles to 855

square miles.

These 461 first-stage units (NHfS strata) were

further stratified into a total of 64 superstrata, snd one

PSU was selected bm each of the superstrata using a

modified Goodman-Kish mntrolled selection techniques These 64 PSU’S represented the geographic

locations visited by the mobile examination center

during the survey period.

The U.S. Bureau of the Census had the major respomdility for selecting households and sample persons

within each of the PSU’S. Three ssmpling hrnes of

housing units were used to select the sample within each

PSU. The list frsme consisted of allhousingunits based

on the 1970 Census of the Population. An area frame

wss used in areas with rapid growth (housing Units built

prior to 1970) snd in areas with slow growth (all

housing units regardless of year built). A new construction frsme was used to supplement the list fkarne for all

places built since 1970. It was also used in about hslfof

the places in the area sample which were experiencing

rapid growth.

The second stage of the design consisted ofthe selection of clusters of households (segments) within ED’s.

An ED is a geographical area that contains approximately 300 housing units. To oversimple persons with

low incomes, the ED’s within each PSU were stratified

into a poverty stratum snd a nonpoverty stratum. The

poverty strata contained ED’s with 13 percent or more

of persons below the poverty level, rind the nonpoverty

strata contied ED’s with less than 13 percent of

persons below the poverty level as determined by the

1970 Census. ED’s within each stratum were selected

proportional to their measures of size. To insure sampling reliability, clusters of 16 listed addresses were

drawn from the sampling ties rind then systematically

subsampled at a rate of 1 out of 2 to produce a final

segment of 8 household address listings.

At the third stage of sampling a list of all eligible

sample persons was made within each selected segment.

The sample of persons to be examined was selected so

that the younger and older age groups were oversampled

and so that approximately one person per sample household was selected, The sampling rates by age are as

follows:

Estimation procedures

Because the design ofNHANE S is a complex muhistage probability sample, national estimates are derived

through a mtitistage estimation procedure. The procedure has three basic components: (1) inflation by the

reciprocal of the probability of the selection, (2) adjust-.

ment for nonresponse, and (3) poststratification by age,

sex, and race. A brief description of each component

follows.

Inflation by the reciprocal of the probability

of selection

The probability of selection is the product of the

probabilities of selection from each stage of selection in

the design: PSU, segment and sample person.

Adjustment for nonresponse

The estimates are imflatedby amuhiplication factor

that brings estimates based onexaminedpersons up to a

166
level that would have been achieved if all sample

persons had been examined. The nonresponse adjustment factor was calculated by dividing the sum of the

reciprocals of the probability of selection for all selected

sample persons within each of five income groups

(under $6,000; $6,000-9,999; $10,000-14,999;

$15,000-24,999; and $25,000 rmd over), three age

groups (6 months-5 years, 6–59 years, and 60–74

years), four geographic regions, and within or outside

SMSA’S by the sum of the reciprocals ofthe probability

of selection for examined sample persons in the same

income, age, region, and SMSA groups. The percent

distribution of the nonresponse adjustment factors is as

Poststratifieation by age, sex, and race

The esthnates were ratio adjusted within each of 76

age-sex-race cells to independent estimates, provided

by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, of the population as

of March 1, 1978, approximate midpoint of the survey.

The ratio adjustment used a multiplication factor in

which the numerator was the U, S. population and the

denofiator was the sum of the weights adjusted for

nonresponse for examined persons. This ratio estimation

process bfigs &e population estimates into C1OSEagreement with the Census Bureau’s estimates of the civilian

noninstitutionalized population of the United States,

and in general reduces sampling errors of NH.ANES II

estimates.

Nonresponse bias

h any health examination survey there exists the

potential for three levels of nonresponse: ( 1) household

interview nonresponse, (2) examination nonresponse,

and (3) item nonresponse. Household interview nonresponse occurs when the household medical history .

questiomaire is not completed. Examination nom-esponse occurs when those ssmple persons who respond

to the household questions do not come to the examination center for an examination. Item nonrespcmw results

when sample persons do not complete some portion of

,either the household interview questionnaires or the

examination protocol. Intense efforts were undertaken .

during NHANES II to develop and implement proce- ,

dures and inducements that would reduce all types of

nonresponse and thereby reduce the potential for bias in

the survey estimates.

These procedures are discussed in “Plan and Operation of the Second National Health and Nutrition

Examination Survey, 1976–1980,” Vital and Health

Statistics, Series 1, No. 15.6 In NH.ANES II there was

Imputation Standard errors

If either hemoglobin (Hb) or hematocrit (Hct)

values were missing, but not both, a value was imputed

for the missing item using the other known value. For

missing Hb and lchown Hct values:

Hb = 0.34 X Hct

For missing Hct and known Hb values:

Hct = 2.95 X Hb

These formulas were derived from an analysis of the relationship of hemoglobin and hematocrit values for the

NHANES II sample persons with known results.

Imputations were done for 30 hematocrit values and

535 hemoglobin values. No imputations were done for

any other biochemical variables in this report.

Measures of variability

Because the statistics presented in this report are

based on a sample, they will dilTersomewhat from the

figures that would have been obtained had a complete

census been taken using the same survey instruments,

instructions, interview and examination personnel, and

procedures. The probability design of this survey

permits the estimation of standard deviations and errors

that conespond to the use of weighted estimates derived

from the highly clustered, multistage probability sample

of the U.S. civilisn noninstitutionalized population.

The reader should be aware that estimates of variances

snd standard errors horn this type of design are different

from and generally larger than standard errors calculated

under the assumption of simple random sampling.

Standard deviations

The stsndard deviation is a measure of the dispersion of the observations in a sample, and is useful in

describing how an individual observation compares to

the mean of the sample. As calculated for this report, it

also reflects part of the variation that arises in the measurement process. If the data are normally distributed

(that is, Gaussian), then one standard deviation above

and below the mean encompasses approximately 68

percent of the distribution; two standard deviations,

about 95 percen~ and 2% standard deviations, about 99

percent.

The estimates of standard deviations presented in

the detsiled tables were calculated using the pseud~

replication method, a balanced half-sample replication

technique that is based upon variability among random

subsamples of the total sample.ls-lG

NOTE: A list of referencesfollows the text,

The standard error is primsrily a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that migM occur

by chance because only a sample of the population is

sumeyed. As calculated for this report, the standard

emor also reflects part of the variation that arises in the

measurement process. Estimates of any bias in the data

are not included, The chances are about 68 out of 1QO

that an estimate from the sample using the same

procedures and instruments would difYerfrom a complete census by less than the standard error. The

chances are about 95 out of 100 that the differences

would be less thsn twice the standard error and about

99 out of 100 that it would be less than 2?4 times as

large.

Estimates of the standard errors of the meisns used

in this report are shown in the appropriate detailed table.

The standsrd errors of the diHerence between two

means are not presented. These standard errors of the

differences (assuming independence of the estimated

means) can be calculated in the following way. Let SE1

and SE2 be the est@ated s@darc? errqrs ofj~wo subpopulation means Xl and X2. Let d = Xl – X2 be the

estimate of the difference betweeg ,tie two subpopulation

means. The standard error of d ISestimated by

These estimates have been prepared by a balanced

repeated replication techniquels-lG that yields overall

variability through observation of variability among

random subsarnples of the total sample. However, the

standard emors of the ag~adjusted means were crdculated using a Taylor series linearization method .17This

process approximates the variance of nonlinear (or

linear) statistics (for example, means and proportions)

using the first two terms of a Taylor series expamion. If

the higher order, terms of the expmsion are negligible

and the sample is of a reasonable size for the domains of

interest, then this approximation provides variance

estimates as reliable as those from the pseudoreplication

method adapted for use in the analyses of NHAN13S II

data.1 g

The estimated standard errors do not retlect any

residual bias that might still be present after the corre&

tion for nonresponse. The need for the balanced repeated

replication or linearization technique for estimating

standard errors arises because of the complexity of

NHANES II sample survey design, which makes it inappropriate to calculate standard errors by a technique

that does not take into consideration a compleK sample

design. It should be noted that the estimates of standard

errors are themselves subject to enors that maybe large

when the number of cases is small or when the number

of strata with observations in both paired l?SU’S is

small.

Appendix II. Glossary of terms

Age.-Was recorded twice for each examinee: age

at last birthday prior to the time of examination and age

at the time of the census interview, The age criterion for

inclusion in the sample used in this survey was defined

as age at the time of census interview. The adjustment

and weighting procedures used to produce national

estimates were based on age at the intemiew. Data in

the detailed tables snd text of the report me also shown

by age at time of interview.

Race.—Was observed and recorded as “white,”

“blac~” or “other.” Other includes Japanese, Chinese,

American Indian, Korean, Eskimo, and all races other

than white and black. Persons of Mexicsn descent were

included with “white” unless definitely lmown to be

American Indian or of another race. Black persons and

persons of mixed black and other parentage were

recorded as black. When a person of mixed racial background was uncertain about his or her race, the race of

the father was recorded.

Sex.-Was recorded as observed by the interviewers.

Annual family income.—Was detenninedby asking

the respondent to select one of 12 income categories

listed on a card that represented his or her total combinedfamilyincome forthepast 12months. Respondents

were asked to include income from all sources such as

wages, salaries, social security or retirement benefits,

help horn relatives, and rent from property.

Pove@ index. —Was determined by the Pove@

Income Ratio (PIR). Poverty statistics published in the

Census Bureau reportszo-zd were based on the poverty

index developed by the Social Security Administration

(SSA) in 1964. (For a detailed discussion of the SSA

poverty standards, see references 25 and 26.) Mtilcations in the definition of poverty were adopted in

1969.27 The standard data series inpovertyfor statistical

use by all executive departments and establishments

has been set.zg

The two components of the PIR are the total income

of the household (numerato~ the median of the income

NOTE: A list of referencesfollows the text,

group for incomes $7,000 and above; the sum of the

component parts of-ti~iiicome questions for iucomes

under $7,000) snd a multiple of the total income necessary to maintain a family with given characteristics on a

nutritionally adequate food planzo (denominator). The

dollar value of the denominator of the PIR is constructed

from a food plan (economy plan) necessary to maintain

miminmrn recommended daily nutritional requirements.

The economy plan is designated by the Department of

Agriculture for “emergency or temporary use when

i%nds are low.” For families of thee or more persons,

the poverty level was set at three times the cost of the

economy food plan. For smaller families and persons

living alone, the cost of the economy fbod plsn was

adjusted by the relatively higher freed expenses of these

smaller households.

The denominator or poverty income cutoff adjusts

the family poverty income maintenance requirements

by the family size, the sex of the family head, the age of

the family head in fsmilies with one or two members,

and the place of residence (farm or nonfarm). Annual

revisions of the poverty income cutoffs are based on the

changes in the average cost of living as reflected in the

Consumer Price Index.

The annual income considered to be the poverty

level increases as the family size increases. A family

with sny combination of characteristics snd with the

same income has been designated as having a PIR or

poverty level of 1.0, The same family with twice the

income would have a PIR of 2,0. Ratios of less than

1.0 can be described as “below poverty level,’” ratios

equal to or greater than 1.0, as “at or above poverty

level.”

Poverty thresholds are computed on anationrd basis

only, No attempt has been made to adjust these

thresholds for regional, State, or other variations in the

cost of living (except for the farm, nonfarm difhence)m

None of the noncash public welfare benefits such as

food stamp bonuses are included in the income of the

low-income families receiving these benefits. PIR has

been adjusted by year and accounts in some ]partfor

inflation.

Tables of weighted average threshold poverty cutoffs for 1976 through 1980 have been published.zg

Hematoctit (packed cell volume).-Measures the

volume of red blood cells in a given volume of blood.so

Hematocrit level is often used as a diagnostic screening

tool for nutritional or iron deficiency.sl This measure

ment alone is not conclusive in detection of iron deficiency aithough it is usefid in the diagnosis of anemiq

for which there are many additional causes.

Hemoglobin concentmtio~ —IIJthe ret iron-containing chromoproteid within a circuiting mature red

blood cell that has the primary physiologic function of

oxygentransport and also plays a role incarbondioxide

transport. Measurement of hemoglobin itself is a direct

mesns of detenninin g tbe presence of anemia, which is

most frequently associated with iron deficiency.

Red bloodcellcount (RBC).-Is the number ofred

blood cells in a given volume of blood, A red blood cell

is a hemoglobin-containing deformable, biconcave

disk composed of protein-lipid stroma with a lipid

peripheral cell membrane. The mature cells do not

contain a nucleus.

White blood cell count(W13C).-Is the number of

white blood cells in a given volume of blood. ~ese are

nucleated cells that do not contain hemoglobin. White

blood cells vary in morphology, function, and chemistnfm~

Mean coipuscularvolume (MCV).-Is the average

volume ofthe red blood cellsin a givensample ofblo@

the MCV is expressed in femtoliters (10-~BL) and is

calculated as follows:

MCV =

hematocrit (in percent)

RBC per liter X 100

Mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH).—IS the

average amount of hemoglobin by weight in the red

Serum iron.-Is the measure of the iron level in

serum. The determination of serum iron is useful in

detecting irondeficient states. Low levels ofserum iron

are found not only in iron-deficiency anemia but. aiso

often in individualEwho are stiering from infectious or

chronic inflammatory diseases, or csncer.ao

Semm total iron-bindingcapacity (TIBC).-IS the

measure ofthe amount ofiron a givenserum sample csn

maximally contain. It pemits some distinction to be

made between iron deficiency, in which values are

usually elevated, and idectious, chronic inflammatory

diseases and neoplast.ic diseases, in which values are

often depressed.

ti@emh satumtion.-Is an estimation of the

degree of saturation of the iron transport protein. This

determination is more useful than serum iron or TIBC

alone in the detection of iron deficiency. In iron

deficiency anemia, the percent transferringsaturation is

usually low in infections, which oilen show a low

serum iron value, the percent transferringsa-tiation

value is more likely to be ody moderately depressed.sl

Sen4m zinc.—Is one of a group of minerals commonly termed “trace elements” because they are sup

Appendix II1. Analytical methods

Hematology

The hemoglobin determinations were performed on

a Coulter hemoglobinometer. Hematocrit determinations were performed by the spun microhematocrit

method.

Cell counts were performed on a Ccmlter Model

FN. The hematologic indexes (MCV, MCH, and

MCHC) were computergeneratedusing the spunmicre

hematocrit value. MCV values derived by electronic

counter (Coulter) are measured directly and are likely

to give somewhat difTerentresults fromthose presented

in this report. More detailed descriptions of these

methods have been -published.3738

Erythrocyte protoporphyrina

1. Principle-Erythrocyte protoporphyrin is measured by a

moditlcation of the method of Sassa and Granick39 Protoporphyrin is extracted from EDTA-whole blood into a 2:1

(v/v) mixture of ethyl acetate-acetic acid, then back-extracted

into dilute hydrochloric acid. The protoporph~ in the aqueous phase is measured fluorometrically at excitation aud

emission wavelengths of 404rmd655 nm, respectively. C~culations are based on a processed protoporphyrin IX (free acid)

stamhird curve. The final concentration of protoporphyrirr in a

specimen is expressed as micrograms per deciliter of packed

red blood cells Q.@lL RBC); a correction for the individual

hematocrit is made.

2. CDC mod$cations-The following mcditlcations of the

original methods are based on CDC optimization experiment

(a) sample size increased from 2pLto 10p~ (b) ethyl acetateacetic acid andO.43 mol/LHClvolumes increased fromO.3 mL

to 1.0 W, (c) processed protoporph~ IX standards used

(d) hydrolysis time for the dimethyl ester decreased from 48 h

to 3 h, onthebasis of the work of Culbrethet al.;~ and(e) 0.43

Serum iron and total iron-binding eapaci~

1. Princ@e.—Serum iron aud total iron-binding capacity

(TIBC) are measured by a modMcation of the automated

Technicon AAII-25 method, which is based on the produres

of Giovanniello et al.gl and Rarnsey.42 Iron is quanthted by

measuring the intensity of the violet complex formed in the

reaction between ferrozine and Fe(II) in pH 4.7 acetate buffer

at 562 nm.

2. CDC mod#lcations.-The following mcxMcations to tbe

Teclmicon M–25 method are noted (a) The reagent concentrations used and their ratios are based in procedures

developed at CDC; (b) two standard TechniconAutoAnalyzer

I type C dialysis plate assemblies are connected in series to

increase the efficiency of dialysis; (c) ferrozioe is incorporated

into the acetate butTeq aud (d) a 5&nrn flow-cell is used in the

calorimeter to maximize sensitivity.
