Proposed Project

The National Health and Nutrition

Examination Survey (NHANES) OMB

No. 0920–0237—Revision—The

National Health and Nutrition

Examination Survey (NHANES) has

been conducted in several cycles since

1970 by the National Center for Health

Statistics (NCHS), Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention (CDC). The

current cycle of NHANES began in

February 1999. The survey will now be

conducted on a continuous, rather than

episodic, basis. About 6,700 individuals

receive a health interview in their

homes annually; of these, 5,000 persons

complete a physical examination.

Participation in the survey is voluntary

and confidential.

NHANES programs produce

descriptive statistics which measure the

health and nutritional status of the U.S.

population. Through the use of

questionnaires, physical examinations,

and laboratory tests, NHANES studies

the relationship between diet, nutrition

and health in a representative sample of

the United States civilian,

noninstitutionalized population.

NHANES monitors the prevalence of

chronic conditions and risk factors such

as coronary heart disease, arthritis,

osteoporosis, pulmonary and infectious

diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure,

high cholesterol, obesity, smoking, drug

and alcohol use, environmental

exposures, and diet. NHANES data are

used to establish the norms for the

general population against which health

care providers can compare such patient

characteristics as height, weight, and

nutrient levels in the blood. Data from

NHANES can be compared to those

from previous surveys to monitor

changes in the health of the U.S.

population. NHANES will also establish

a national probability sample of genetic

material for future genetic research for

susceptibility to disease.

Users of NHANES data include

Congress; the World Health

Organization; Federal agencies such as

NIH, EPA, and USDA; private groups

such as the American Heart Association;

schools of public health; private

businesses; individual practitioners; and

administrators. NHANES data are used

to establish, monitor, and evaluate longterm national health objectives, food

fortification policies, programs to limit

environmental exposures, immunization

guidelines and health education and

disease prevention programs.

The annualized burden for this

collection is 51,741 hours.
