Notes: The second Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES II), conducted during the period 1976-1980, was designed to measure and monitor the nutritional status and health of the United States population ages 6 months through 74 years. During HANES II, data were collected by means of a household questionnaire, medical histories, dietary questionnaires, a physical examination, spirometry trials, electrocardiograms, body measurements, puretone audiometry, speech and allergy tests, x-rays, a medication/vitamin usage questionnaire, a behavior questionnaire, and laboratory analyses of blood and urine samples. There were a total of 27,801 sample persons of which 25,286 were interviewed and 20,322 were examined. Each file contains approximately 100 demographic variables, with the exception of the Model Gram and Nutrient Composition files which do not contain any demographics.
