NHANES II (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1976-1980) Hematology and Biochemistry Data Tape: Laboratory Procedures Used by the Clinical Chemistry Division, Centers for Disease Control, for the the Second Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES II) 1976-1980

摘要

The Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II), conducted during the period 1976-1980, was designed to measure and monitor the nutritional survey, NHANES I, was conducted from 1971-1975. During NHANES 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. This data tape contains demographic characteristics of 20,322 examined sample persons ages 6 months through 74 years and selected hematological and biochemical blood findings from NHANES II. The determinations include hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell count, white blood cell count, serum iron, serum total iron-binding capacity, transferrin saturation, serum albumin, serum vitamin C, serum zinc, serum copper, serum vitamin A, erythrocyte protoporphyrin, lead and carboxyhemoglobin.
