摘要

From 1982 through 1984 a Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES) was conducted to obtain data on the health and nutritional status of three Hispanic groups: Mexican Americans from Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and California; Cuban Americans from Dade County, Florida; and Puerto Ricans from the New York City area, including parts of New Jersey and Connecticut. In the Mexican-American portion of the survey, there were 9,894 persons sampled, of which 8,554 were interviewed and 7,462 examined. In the Cuban-American portion, 2,244 persons were sampled, of which 1,766 were interviewed and 1,357 examined. In the Puerto Rican portion, 3,786 persons were sampled, of which 3,369 were interviewed and 2,834 examined. During HHANES, data collection began with a household interview which included basic demographic and health history information. Later, in a Mobile Examination Center, two questionnaires were administered and an examination performed. The examination included a variety of tests and procedures and the questionnaires collected dietary data and information on mental health, reproductive history, and use of alcohol and drugs.
