The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the Centers for Disease     
Control and Prevention (CDC) collects, analyzes, and disseminates data on       
the health status of U.S. residents.  The results of surveys, analyses, and     
studies are made known through a number of data release mechanisms              
including publications, mainframe computer data files, CD-ROMs (Search and      
Retrieval Software, Statistical Export and Tabulation System (SETS)), and the   
Internet (http://www.cdc.gov/nchswww/nchshome.htm).                             
                                                                                
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a periodic     
survey conducted by NCHS.  The third National Health and Nutrition              
Examination Survey (NHANES III), conducted from 1988 through 1994, was the      
seventh in a series of these surveys based on a complex, multi-stage sample     
plan.  It was designed to provide national estimates of the health and          
nutritional status of the United States' civilian, noninstitutionalized         
population aged two months and older.                                           
                                                                                
Data from NHANES III are being released in five public release data files:

This document includes the documentation for the NHANES III Foods Data          
File and also contains a general overview of the survey and the use of the      
data files.  The general overview includes five sections.  The first            
section, entitled "Guidelines for Data Users," contains important information   
about the use of the data files.  The second section, "Survey Description,"     
is a brief overview of the survey plan and operation.  The third section,       
"Sample Design and Analysis Guidelines," describes some technical aspects of    
the sampling plan and discusses some analytic issues particularly related to    
the use of data from complex sample surveys.  The "Data Preparation and         
Processing Procedures" section describes the editing conventions and the        
codes used to represent the data.  The last and fifth section, "General         
References," includes a reference list for the survey overview sections of      
the document.

o    The Plan and Operation of the Third National Health and Nutrition          
     Examination Survey, 1988-94, (NCHS, 1994; U.S. DHHS, 1996) provides an     
     overview of the survey and includes copies of the survey forms.

     the NHANES III Reference Manuals and Reports CD-ROM (U.S. DHHS, 1996)      
     discuss the reasons that sample weights and the complex survey design      
     should be taken into account when conducting any analysis.                 
                                                                                
o    Instruction manuals, laboratory procedures, and other NHANES III           
     reference manuals on the NHANES III Reference Manuals and Reports          
     CD-ROM(U.S. DHHS, 1996) are also available for further information on      
     the details of the survey.                                                 
                                                                                
                                                                                
Analytic Data Set Preparation                                                   
                                                                                
o    Most NHANES III survey design and demographic variables are found only     
     on the Adult and Youth Household Data Files.  In preparing a data set      
     for analysis, other data files must be merged with either or both of       
     these files to obtain many important analytic variables.                   
                                                                                
o    All of the NHANES III public use data files are linked with the common     
     survey participant identification number (SEQN).  Merging information      
     from multiple NHANES III data files using this variable ensures that       
     the appropriate information for each survey participant is linked          
     correctly.                                                                 
                                                                                
o    NHANES III public use data files do not have the same number of            
     records on each file.  The Household Questionnaire Files (divided into     
     two files, Adult and Youth) contain more records than the Examination      
     Data File because not everyone who was interviewed completed the           
     examination. The Laboratory Data File contains data only for persons       
     aged one year and older.  The Individual Foods Data File based on the      
     dietary recall has multiple records for each person rather than the one    
     record per sample person contained in the other data files.                
                                                                                
o    For each data file, SAS program code with standard variable names and      
     labels is provided as separate text files on the CD-ROM that contains      
     the data files.  This SAS program code can be used to create a SAS         
     data set from the data file.                                               
                                                                                
o    Modifications were made to items in the questionnaires, laboratory,        
     and examination components over the course of the survey; as a result,     
     data may not be available for certain variables for the full six years.    
     In addition, variables may differ by phase since some changes were         
     implemented between phases.  Users are encouraged to read the Notes        
     sections of this document carefully for information about changes.         
                                                                                
o    Extremely high and low values have been verified whenever possible,        
     and numerous consistency checks have been performed.  Nonetheless, users   
     should examine the range and frequency of values before analyzing          
     data.                                                                      
                                                                               
o    Some data were not ready for release at the time of this publication       
     due to continued processing of the data or analysis of laboratory          
     specimens.  A listing of those data are available in the general           
     information section of each data file.                                     
                                                                                
o    Confidential and administrative data are not being released to the         
     public.  Additionally, some variables have been recoded to help            
     protect the confidentiality of the survey participants.  For example,      
     all age-related variables were recoded to 90+ years for persons who were   
     90 years of age and older.                                                 
                                                                                
o    Some variable names may differ from those used in the Phase 1 NHANES       
     III Provisional Data Release and some variables included in the Phase 1    
     provisional release may not appear on these files.                         
                                                                                
o    Although the data files have been edited carefully, errors may be          
     detected.  Please notify NCHS staff (301-436-8500) of any errors in        
     the data file or the documentation.                                        
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                               
Analytic Considerations                                                         
                                                                                
o    NHANES III (1988-94) was designed so that the survey's first three         
     years, 1988-91, its last three years, 1991-94, and the entire six          
     years were national probability samples.  Analysts are encouraged to use   
     all six years of survey results.                                           
                                                                                
o    Sample weights are available for analyzing NHANES III data.  One of        
     the following three sample weights will be appropriate for nearly all      
     analyses:  interviewed sample final weight (WTPFQX6), examined sample      
     final weight (WTPFEX6), and mobile examination center (MEC)- and           
     home-examined sample final weight (WTPFHX6).  Choosing which of these      
     sample weights to use in any analysis depends on the variables being       
     used.  A good rule of thumb is to use "the least common denominator"       
     approach.  In this approach, the user checks the variables of              
     interest.  The variable that was collected on the smallest number of       
     persons is the "least common denominator," and the sample weight that      
     applies to that variable is the appropriate one to use for that            
     analysis.  For more detailed information, see the Analytic and Reporting   
     Guidelines for NHANES III (U.S. DHHS, 1996).

                         SURVEY DESCRIPTION                                     
                                                                                
                                                                                
The third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) was     
the seventh in a series of large health examination surveys conducted in        
the United States beginning in 1960.  Three of these surveys, the National      
Health Examination Surveys (NHES), were conducted in the 1960's (NCHS, 1965;    
NCHS, 1967; NCHS, 1969).  In 1970, an expanded nutrition component was added    
to provide data with which to assess nutritional status and dietary             
practices, and the name was changed to the National Health and Nutrition        
Examination Survey (Miller, 1973; Engel, 1978; McDowell, 1981).  A special      
survey of Hispanic populations in the United States was conducted during        
1982-1984 (NCHS, 1985).                                                         
                                                                                
The general structure of the NHANES III sample design was similar to that       
of the previous NHANES.  All of the surveys used complex, multi-stage,          
stratified, clustered samples of civilian, noninstitutionalized                 
populations.  NHANES III was the first NHANES without an upper age limit; in    
fact, the age range for the survey was two months and older.  A home            
examination option was employed for the first time in order to obtain           
examination data for very young children and for elderly persons who were       
unable to visit the mobile examination center (MEC).  The home examination      
included only a subset of the components used in the full MEC examination       
since it would have been difficult to collect some types of data in a home      
setting.  A detailed description of design specifications and copies of the     
data collection forms can be found in the Plan and Operation of the Third       
National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-1994 (NCHS, 1994; U.S.   
DHHS, 1996).                                                                    
                                                                                
NHANES III was conducted from October 1988 through October 1994 in two          
phases, each of which comprised a national probability sample.  The first       
phase was conducted from October 18, 1988, through October 24, 1991, at 44      
locations.  The second phase was conducted from September 20, 1991, through     
October 15, 1994, at 45 different locations.  In NHANES III, 39,695 persons     
were selected over the six years; of those, 33,994 (86%) were interviewed       
in their homes.  All interviewed persons were invited to the MEC for a          
medical examination.  Seventy-eight percent (30,818) of the selected persons    
were examined in the MEC, and an additional 493 persons were given a special,   
limited examination in their homes.                                             
                                                                                
Data collection began with a household interview.  Several questionnaires       
were administered in the household:  Household Screener Questionnaire,          
Family Questionnaire, Household Adult Questionnaire, and Household Youth        
Questionnaire.                                                                  
                                                                                
At the MEC, an examination was performed, and five automated questionnaires     
or interviews were administered:  MEC Adult Questionnaire, MEC Youth            
Questionnaire, MEC Proxy Questionnaire, 24-Hour Dietary Recall, and Dietary     
Food Frequency (ages 12-16 years).  The health examination component            
included a variety of tests and procedures.  The examinee's age at the time     
of the interview and other factors determined which procedures were             
administered.  Blood and urine specimens were obtained, and a number of tests   
and measurements were performed including body measurements, spirometry,        
fundus photography, x-rays, electrocardiography, allergy and glucose            
tolerance tests, and ultrasonography.  Measurements were taken of bone          
density, hearing, and physical, cognitive, and central nervous system           
functions.  A physician performed a limited standardized medical examination    
and a dentist performed a standardized dental examination.  While some of the   
blood and urine analyses were performed in the MEC laboratory, most analyses    
were conducted elsewhere by contract laboratories.                              
                                                                                
                                                                               
A home examination was conducted for those sample persons aged 2-11 months      
and aged 20 years or older who were unable to visit the mobile examination      
center.  The home examination consisted of an abbreviated version of the        
tests and interviews performed in the MEC.  Depending on age of the sample      
person, the components included body measurements, blood pressure,              
spirometry, venipuncture, physical function evaluation, and a questionnaire     
to inquire about infant feeding, selected health conditions, cognitive          
function, tobacco use, and reproductive history.

Sample Design                                                                   
                                                                                
The general structure of the NHANES III sample design is the same as that       
of the previous NHANES.  Each of these surveys used a stratified, multi-stage   
probability design.  The major design parameters of the two previous NHANES     
and the special Hispanic HANES, as well as NHANES III, have been previously     
summarized (Miller, 1973; McDowell, 1981; NCHS, 1985; NCHS, 1994).  The         
NHANES III sample was designed to be self-weighting within a primary            
sampling unit (PSU) for subdomains (age, sex, and race-ethnic groups).  While   
the sample was fairly close to self-weighting nationally for each of these      
subdomain groups, it was not representative of the total population, which      
includes institutionalized, non-civilian persons that were outside the          
scope of the survey.                                                            
                                                                                
The NHANES III sample represented the total civilian, noninstitutionalized      
population, two months of age or over, in the 50 states and the District of     
Columbia of the United States.  The first stage of the design consisted of      
selecting a sample of 81 PSU's that were mostly individual counties.  In a      
few cases, adjacent counties were combined to keep PSU's above a minimum        
population size.  The PSU's were stratified and selected with probability       
proportional to size (PPS).  Thirteen large counties (strata) were chosen       
with certainty (probability of one).  For operational reasons, these 13         
certainty PSU's were divided into 21 survey locations.  After the 13            
certainty strata were designated, the remaining PSU's in the United States      
were grouped into 34 strata, and two PSU's were selected per stratum (68        
survey locations).  The selection was done with PPS and without                 
replacement.  The NHANES III sample therefore consists of 81 PSU's or 89        
locations.                                                                      
                                                                                
The 89 locations were randomly divided into two groups, one for each phase.     
The first group consisted of 44 and the other of 45 locations.  One set         
of PSU's was allocated to the first three-year survey period (1988-91) and      
the other set to the second three-year period (1991-94).  Therefore,            
unbiased estimates (from the point of view of sample selection) of health and   
nutrition characteristics can be independently produced for both Phase 1        
and Phase 2 as well as for both phases combined.                                
                                                                                
For most of the sample, the second stage of the design consisted of area        
segments composed of city or suburban blocks, combinations of blocks, or        
other area segments in places where block statistics were not produced in       
the 1980 Census.  In the first phase of NHANES III, the area segments were      
used only for a sample of persons who lived in housing units built before       
1980.  For units built in 1980 and later, the second stage consisted of sets    
of addresses selected from building permits issued in 1980 or later.  These     
are referred to as "new construction segments."  In the second phase, 1990      
Census data and maps were used to define the area segments.  Because the        
second phase followed within a few years of the 1990 Census, new construction   
did not account for a significant part of the sample, and the entire sample     
came from the area segments.                                                    
                                                                                
                                                                               
The third stage of sample selection consisted of households and certain         
types of group quarters, such as dormitories.  All households and eligible      
group quarters in the sample segments were listed, and a subsample was          
designated for screening to identify potential sample persons.  The             
subsampling rates enabled production of a national, approximately               
equal-probability sample of households in most of the United States with        
higher rates for the geographic strata with high Mexican-American               
populations.  Within each geographic stratum, there was a nearly                
equal-probability sample of households across all 89 stands.                    
                                                                                
Persons within the sample of households or group quarters were the fourth       
stage of sample selection.  All eligible members within a household were        
listed, and a subsample of individuals was selected based on sex, age, and      
race or ethnicity.  The definitions of the sex, age, race or ethnic             
classes, subsampling rates, and designation of potential sample persons         
within screened households were developed to provide approximately              
self-weighting samples for each subdomain within geographic strata and at the   
same time to maximize the average number of sample persons per sample           
household.  Previous NHANES indicated that this increased the overall           
participation rate.  Although the exact sample sizes were not known until       
data collection was completed, estimates were made.  Below is a summary of      
the sample sizes for the full six-year NHANES III at each stage of selection:

More detailed information on the sample design and weighting and estimation     
procedures for NHANES III can be found in the Plan and Operation of the         
Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988-94 (NCHS, 1994;    
U.S. DHHS, 1996) and in the Analytic and Reporting Guidelines: Third National   
Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), 1988-94 (U.S. DHHS,       
1996).                                                                          
                                                                                
Analysis Guidelines                                                             
                                                                                
Because of the complex survey design used in NHANES III, traditional            
methods of statistical analysis based on the assumption of a simple random      
sample are not applicable.  Detailed descriptions of this issue and possible    
analytic methods for analyzing NHANES data have been described earlier (NCHS,   
1985; Yetley, 1987; Landis, 1982; Delgado, 1990).  Recent analytic and          
reporting guidelines that should be used for most NHANES III analyses and       
publications are contained in Analytic and Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS,     
1996).  These recommendations differ slightly from those used by analysts for   
previous NHANES surveys.  These suggested guidelines provide a framework to     
users for producing estimates that conform to the analytic design of the        
survey.  All users are strongly urged to review these analytic and reporting    
guidelines before beginning any analyses of NHANES III data.                    
                                                                                
                                                                               
It is important to remember that this set of statistical guidelines is not      
absolute.  When conducting analyses, the analyst needs to use his/her           
subject matter knowledge (including methodological issues) as well as           
information about the survey design.  The more one deviates from the original   
analytic categories defined in the sample design, the more important it is to   
evaluate the results carefully and to interpret the findings cautiously.        
                                                                                
In NHANES III, 89 survey locations were randomly divided into two sets or       
phases, the first consisting of 44 and the other of 45 locations.  One set      
of PSU's was allocated to the first three-year survey period (1988-91) and      
the other set to the second three-year period (1991-94).  Therefore, unbiased   
national estimates of health and nutrition characteristics can be               
independently produced for each phase as well as for both phases combined.      
Computation of national estimates from both phases combined (i.e., total        
NHANES III) is the preferred option; individual phase estimates may be          
highly variable.  In addition, individual phase estimates are not               
statistically independent.  It is also difficult to evaluate whether            
differences in individual phase estimates are real or due to methodological     
differences.  That is, differences may be due to changes in sampling methods    
or data collection methodology over time.  At this time, there is no valid      
statistical test for examining differences between Phase 1 and Phase 2.         
Therefore, although point estimates can be produced separately for each         
phase, no test is available to test whether those estimates are                 
significantly different from each other.                                        
                                                                                
NHANES III is based on a complex, multi-stage probability sample design.        
Several aspects of the NHANES design must be taken into account in data         
analysis, including the sample weights and the complex survey design.           
Appropriate sample weights are needed to estimate prevalence, means,            
medians, and other statistics.  Sample weights are used to produce correct      
population estimates because each sample person does not have the same          
probability of selection.  The sample weights incorporate the differential      
probabilities of selection and include adjustments for noncoverage and          
nonresponse.  A detailed discussion of nonresponse adjustments and issues       
related to survey coverage have been published (U.S. DHHS, 1996).  With the     
large oversampling of young children, older persons, black persons, and         
Mexican-Americans in NHANES III, it is essential that the sample weights be     
used in all analyses.  Otherwise, a misinterpretation of results is highly      
likely.  Other aspects of the design that must be taken into account in data    
analyses are the strata and PSU pairings from the sample design.  These         
pairings should be used to estimate variances and test for statistical          
significance.  For weighted analyses, analysts can use special computer         
software packages that use an appropriate method for estimating variances for   
complex samples such as SUDAAN (Shah, 1995) and WesVarPC (Westat, 1996).        
                                                                                
Although initial exploratory analyses may be performed on unweighted data       
using standard statistical packages and assuming simple random sampling,        
final analyses should be done on weighted data using appropriate sample         
weights.  A summary of the weighting methodology and the type of sample         
weights developed for NHANES III is included in Weighting and Estimation        
Methodology (U.S. DHHS, 1996).                                                  
                                                                                
The purpose of weighting the sample data is to permit analysts to produce       
estimates of statistics that would have been obtained if the entire             
sampling frame (the United States) had been surveyed.  Sample weights can be    
considered as measures of the number of persons the particular sample           
observation represents.  Weighting takes into account several features of       
the survey:  the specific probabilities of selection for the individual         
domains that were oversampled as well as nonresponse and differences between    
the sample and the total U.S. population.  Differences between the sample and   
                                                                                
                                                                               
the population may arise due to sampling variability, differential              
undercoverage in the survey among demographic groups, and possibly other        
types of response errors, such as differential response rates or                
misclassification errors.  Sample weighting in NHANES III was used to:          
                                                                                
1.   Compensate for differential probabilities of selection among subgroups     
     (i.e., age-sex-race-ethnicity subdomains where persons living in           
     different geographic strata were sampled at different rates);              
2.   Reduce biases arising from the fact that nonrespondents may be             
     different from those who participate;                                      
3.   Bring sample data up to the dimensions of the target population            
     totals;                                                                    
4.   Compensate, to the extent possible, for inadequacies in the sampling       
     frame (resulting from omissions of some housing units in the listing       
     of area segments, omissions of persons with no fixed address, etc.); and   
5.   To reduce variances in the estimation procedure by using auxiliary         
     information that is known with a high degree of accuracy.                  
                                                                                
In NHANES III, the sample weighting was carried out in three stages.  The       
first stage involved the computation of weights to compensate for unequal       
probabilities of selection (objective 1, above).  The second stage adjusted     
for nonresponse (objective 2).  The third stage used poststratification of      
the sample weights to Census Bureau estimates of the U.S. population to         
accomplish the third, fourth, and fifth objectives simultaneously.  In          
NHANES III, several types of sample weights (see the sample weights table       
that follows) were computed for the interviewed and examined sample and are     
included in the NHANES III data file.  Also, sample weights were computed       
separately for Phase 1 (1988-91), Phase 2 (1991-94), and total NHANES III       
(1988-94) to facilitate analysis of items collected only in Phase 1, only       
in Phase 2, and over six years of the survey.  Three sets of pseudo strata      
and PSU pairings are provided to use with SUDAAN in variance estimation.        
Since NHANES III is based on a complex, multi-stage sample design,              
appropriate sample weights should be used in analyses to produce national       
estimates of prevalence and associated variances while accounting for           
unequal probability of selection of sample persons.  For example, the final     
interview weight, WTPFQX6, should be used for analysis of the items or          
questions from the family or household questionnaires, and the final MEC        
examination weight, WTPFEX6, should be used for analysis of the                 
questionnaires and measurements administered in the MEC.  Furthermore, for a    
combined analysis of measurements from the MEC examinations and associated      
medical history questions from the household interview, the final MEC           
examination weight, WTPFEX6, should be used.  We recommend using SUDAAN         
(Shah, 1995) to estimate statistics of interest and the associated variance.    
However, one can also use other published methods for variance estimation.      
Application of SUDAAN and alternative methods, such as the average design       
effect approach, balance repeated replication (BRR) methods, or jackknife       
methods for variance estimation, are discussed in Weighting and Estimation      
Methodology (U.S. DHHS, 1996).

Automated data collection procedures for the survey were introduced in          
NHANES III.  In the mobile examination centers, data for the interview and      
examination components were recorded directly onto a computerized data          
collection form.  With the exception of a few independently automated           
systems, the system was centrally integrated.  This operation allowed for       
ongoing monitoring of much of the data.  Before the introduction of the         
computer-assisted personal interview (CAPI), the household questionnaire        
data were reviewed manually by field editors and interviewers.  CAPI            
(1992-1994 only) questionnaires featured built-in edits to prevent entering     
inconsistencies and out-of-range responses.  The multi-level data               
collection and quality control systems are discussed in detail in the Plan      
and Operation of the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey,    
1988-1994 (NCHS, 1994; U.S. DHHS, 1996).  All interview, laboratory, and        
examination data were sent to NCHS for final processing.                        
                                                                                
Guidelines were developed that provided standards for naming variables,         
filling missing values and coding conventional responses, handling missing      
records, and standardizing two-part quantity/unit questionnaire variables.      
NCHS staff, assisted by contract staff, developed data editing                  
specifications that checked data sets for valid codes, ranges, and skip         
pattern consistencies and examined the consistency of values between            
interrelated variables.  Comments, collected in both interviews and             
examination components, were reviewed and recoded when possible.  Responses     
to "Other" and "Specify" were recoded either to existing code categories or     
to new categories.  The documentation for each data set includes notes for      
those variables that have been recoded and standardized and for those           
variables that differ significantly from what appears in the original data      
collection instrument.  While the data have undergone many quality control      
and editing procedures, there still may be values that appear extreme or        
illogical.  Values that varied considerably from what was expected were         
examined by analysts who checked for comments or other responses that might     
help to clarify unusual values.  Generally, values were retained unless they    
could not possibly be true, in which case they were changed to "Blank but       
applicable."  Therefore, the user must review each data set for extreme or      
inconsistent values and determine the status of each value for analysis.        
                                                                                
Several editing conventions were used in the creation of final analytic         
data sets:                                                                      
                                                                                
1.   Standardized variables were created to replace all two-part                
     quantity/unit questions using standard conversion factors.                 
     Standardized variables have the same name as the variable of the           
     two-part question with an "S" suffix.  For instance, MAPF18S (Months       
     received WIC benefits) in the MEC Adult Questionnaire was created from     
     the two-part response option to question F18, "How long did you receive    
     benefits from the WIC program?," using the conversion factor 12 months     
     per year.                                                                  
                                                                                
2.   Recoded variables were created by combining responses from two or more     
     like variables, or by collapsing responses to create a summary             
     variable for the purpose of confidentiality.  Recoded variables have the   
     original variable name with an R suffix.  For example, place of birth      
     variable (HFA6X) in the Family Questionnaire was collapsed to a three      
     level response category (U.S., Mexico, Other) and renamed HFA6XR.          
     Generally, only the recoded variable has been included in the data file.   
                                                                                
                                                                               
3.   Fill values, a series of one or more digits, were used to represent        
     certain specific conditions or responses.  Below is a list of the fill     
     values that were employed.  Some of the fill values pertain only to        
     questionnaire data, although 8-fill and blank-fill values are found in     
     all data sets.  Other fill values, not included in this list, are used     
     to represent component-specific conditions.                                
                                                                                
     6-fills = Varies/varied. (Questionnaires only)                             
                                                                                
     7-fills = Fewer than the smallest number that could be reported within     
     the question structure (e.g., fewer than one cigarette per day).           
     (Questionnaires only)                                                      
                                                                                
     8-fills = Blank but applicable/cannot be determined.  This means that      
     a respondent was eligible to receive the question, test, or component      
     but did not because of refusal, lack of time, lack of staff, loss of       
     data, broken vial, language barrier, unreliability, or other similar       
     reasons.                                                                   
                                                                                
     9-fills = Don't know.  This fill was used only when a respondent did       
     not know the response to a question and said, "I don't know."              
     (Questionnaires only)                                                      
                                                                                
     Blank fills = Inapplicable.  If a respondent was not eligible for a        
     questionnaire, test, or component because of age, gender, or specific      
     reason, the variable was blank-filled.  In the questionnaire, if a         
     respondent was not asked a question because of a skip-pattern,             
     variables corresponding to the question were blank-filled.  For            
     examination or laboratory components, if a person was excluded by a        
     defined protocol (e.g., screening exclusion questions) and these           
     criteria are included in the data set, then the corresponding              
     variables were blank-filled for that person.  For home examinees,          
     variables for examination components and blood tests not performed as      
     part of the home examination protocol were blank-filled.                   
                                                                                
4.   For variables describing discrete data, codes of zero (0) were used to     
     mean "none," "never," or the equivalent.  Value labels for which "0"       
     is used include:  "has not had," "never regularly," "still taking," or     
     "never stopped using."  Unless otherwise labeled, for variables            
     containing continuous data, "zero" means "zero.                            
                                                                                
5.   Where there are logical skip patterns in the flow of the questionnaire     
     or examination component, the skip was indicated by placing the            
     variable label of the skip destination in parentheses as part of the       
     value label of the response generating the skip.  For example, in the      
     Physical Function Evaluation, the variable PFPWC (in wheelchair) has a     
     value label, "2  No (PFPSCOOT)" that means that the next item for          
     persons not in a wheelchair would be represented by the variable,          
     PFPSCOOT.                                                                  
                                                                                
                                                                                
Variable Nomenclature                                                           
                                                                                
A unique name was assigned to every NHANES III variable using a standard        
convention.  By following this naming convention, the origin of each            
variable is clear, and there is no chance of overlaying similar variables       
across multiple components.  Variables range in length from three to eight      
characters.  The first two variable characters represent the topic (e.g.,       
analyte, questionnaire instrument, examination component) and are listed        
below alphabetically by topic.  For questionnaires administered in the          
household, the remainder of the variable name following the first two           
                                                                               
characters indicates the question section and number.  For example, data        
for the response to the Household Adult Questionnaire question B1 are           
contained in the variable HAB1.  For most laboratory and examination            
variables, as well as some other variables, a "P" in the third position         
refers to "primary" and the remainder of the variable name is a brief           
description of the item.  For instance, in the Laboratory Data File,            
information on the length of time the person fasted before the first blood      
draw is contained in the variable PHPFAST.  The variable PHPFAST was derived    
as follows:  characters 1-2 (PH) refer to "phlebotomy," character 3 (P)         
refers to "primary," characters 4-8 (FAST) refer to an abbreviation for         
"fasting."

NHANES III Dietary Interview Component                                          
                                                                                
Dietary interviews were administered to all examinees by a trained dietary      
interviewer in the mobile examination center (MEC).  Respondents reported all   
foods and beverages consumed except plain drinking water (i.e., not bottled) for
the previous 24-hour time period (midnight to midnight).  An automated,         
microcomputer-based dietary interview and coding system known as the NHANES III 
Dietary Data Collection (DDC) System was used to collect all NHANES III dietary 
recall data.  The DDC system was developed for use in the survey by the         
University of Minnesota's Nutrition Coordinating Center (NCC).                  
                                                                                
The dietary interviews were conducted in English and Spanish by                 
bilingual dietary interviewers in a private room to ensure                      
confidentiality.  Proxy respondents were permitted for infants and children aged
two months through five years and for other respondents who were unable to      
report on their own.  Children aged six to 11 years were permitted to report    
their own intake if the interviewer deemed it acceptable and appropriate, but   
many interviewers for respondents in this age category were completed by proxy  
or with the child and a proxy.  The dietary interviewers contacted other        
information sources such as care providers and schools to obtain complete       
dietary intake data for respondents.                                            
                                                                                
The primary source of food composition data for NHANES III is the U.S.          
Department of Agriculture (USDA) Survey Nutrient Database; two nutrient files   
were provided by USDA for use in NHANES III (USDA 1993, 1995). Each USDA file   
contained food composition values that were appropriate for the time period     
during which the NHANES III data were collected. Additionally, food composition 
data for a small number of herbs and spices were obtained from NCC (NCC, 1996). 
                                                                                
The DDC system's foods database was designed specifically to handle time-related
changes in food descriptions, food amounts, and recipes; updated information was
applied retrospectively to data collected in the early part of NHANES III.  As  
was mentioned earlier, two USDA food composition databases were used to assign  
nutrient values to the NHANES III dietary recalls (USDA 1993; USDA, 1995).  In  
addition to data changes that occurred in the nutrient values of foods due to   
food product reformulations, recipe changes, and so forth, the U.S. marketplace 
underwent tremendous growth and change as new food product lines were introduced
and new food components were added to the food                                  
supply (e.g., fat substitutes and artificial sweeteners).  The impact of these  
and other changes may require additional analysis.                              
                                                                                
Dietary recall interviews were edited by the interviewers to ensure that they   
were as complete as possible.  NCHS completed all final editing and             
determinations regarding the completeness and reliability of the dietary        
recalls.  Analysts should note that the data reported are self-reported data.   
Extreme values were verified.                                                   
                                                                                
Information pertaining to the use of nutritional supplements and                
antacids was reported separately during the Household Adult and                 
Household Youth Interviews.                                                     
                                                                                
                                                                               
A number of quality-control monitoring techniques were employed during the      
survey.  The techniques for monitoring the Dietary Interview component included 
observations of actual dietary interviews and reviews of audiotape interviews by
NCHS and contractor staff. In addition, the dietary interviewers worked in      
two-person teams; there was one team in each MEC.  The dietary interviewers     
performed 10-percent cross-check reviews of their partners' work using printed  
recall reports.  Finally, newsletters, field memoranda, telephone calls, and    
staff retraining sessions were other methods used to maintain quality control   
during the survey.  Refer to the NHANES III Dietary Interviewer's Training      
Manual for the dietary interview protocol (U.S. DHHS, 1996b).                   
                                                                                
Analysts are encouraged to use six years of survey data in their                
analyses.  The reliability of estimates is improved when larger sample sizes are
used.  For more detailed information, see the Analytic and Reporting Guidelines 
for NHANES III (U.S. DHHS, 1996b).  In addition, MEC final examination weights  
(WTPFEX6) should be used when analyzing the total nutrient intake data and      
related questionnaire data in this file.  For more information on the use of    
sample weights in NHANES III data analysis, refer to the NHANES III Analytic and
Reporting Guidelines (U.S. DHHS, 1996b).

NCHS prepared 4 datasets that are based on the 24-hr dietary recall interview.  
Total nutrient intakes were reported in the NHANES III Examination Data file    
(Catalog 76200).  Three foods files were prepared; three files are found in     
Catalog 76700: NHANES III Individual Foods Data File from the Dietary Recall;   
NHANES III Combination Foods Data File from the Dietary Recall; NHANES III      
(Variable) Ingredients Data File from the Dietary Recall.  Documentation was    
prepared for each of the foods data files. Data users are encouraged to review  
all of the documentation prior to using the data files.

Textual descriptions for several NHANES III Foods Data File numeric code

data file documentation for the Foods Data Files.  Computer code is provided so 
that data users can merge the foods data files with the information in the      
Appendix/look-up tables.                                                        
                                                                                
                                                                               
                             COMBINATION FOODS FILE                             
                                                                                
                                                                                
Multi-component combination foods are foods that are comprised of more than one 
component food.  Any food in the NHANES III Individual Foods File that is       
comprised of more than one component food is considered to be a multi-component 
combination food. Approximately 85,000 multi-component foods were reported      
during NHANES III.  Fifteen combination food type codes (DRPTCC) were developed 
for use in NHANES III; the dietary interviewers assigned codes to all multi-    
component combination foods reported during NHANES III.  Some examples of       
combination type codes include beverage combinations (DRPTCC=7), sandwich       
combinations (DRPTCC=1), mixed dish combinations (DRPTCC=4) and salad           
combinations (DRPTCC=3).  A cheese sandwich entered by its components: bread,   
cheese, mustard, and lettuce would have a DRPTCC=1.                             
                                                                                
In addition to the multi-component type of combination foods, there were single 
component combination foods reported during the survey.  Single component       
combination foods were entered into the DDC System using generic or brand name  
product food entry selections in the DDC system.  If a respondent ate a sandwich
or mixed dish in a restaurant and could not provide any details about the food, 
the DDC System's generic combination food selections were used.  A cheese       
sandwich or beef taco could be entered as such using the appropriate selections 
in the DDC system; generic combination food options were available for many     
combination foods.  A second example would be for a sandwich eaten in a "fast   
food restaurant:; if the restaurant was one of the commercial establishments in 
the DDC System, the interviewers could select the restaurant menu item directly 
as long as the respondent ate the sandwich as prepared.                         
                                                                                
The NHANES III Individual Foods File lists the food records and component food  
records for single and multi-component combination foods.  Multi-component      
combination foods have a Combination Food Flag (DRPCFF) value equal to 1.       
Single component combination foods have DRPCFF=0.  Some multi-component foods   
are comprised of a single component combination food plus additional food       
components and have a DRPCFF=1 because the food is a multi-component food.      
                                                                                
The CFF provides a single, summary data record for multi-component combination  
foods reported in the survey; descriptive information and nutrient values for   
multi-component combination foods are included in the CFF records.  The CFF was 
produced by combining component food data in the Individual Foods File into a   
single combination food record.  In the sandwich combination example described  
earlier, the CFF data for the "sandwich" were derived by summing food gram      
weights and nutrient values for the bread, cheese, mustard, and lettuce         
components of the sandwich.  A single food record for the "cheese sandwich"     
would appear in the CFF for this combination food.  Food energy and nutrient    
values for CFF records have distinctive variable names to distinguish them from 
IFF food energy and nutrient variables.                                         
                                                                                
Two criteria were required for inclusion in the CFF.  First, the final dietary  
recall status code (DRPSTAT) for the dietary recall had to be equal to 1, 2, or 
5.  Second, a multi-component food had to have been reported during the dietary 
interview.  Only the foods that were multi-component foods in the Individual    
Foods File are included in the CFF.  Some NHANES III examinees do not have any  
records in the CFF because their recall did not include  multi-component foods. 
                                                                                
                                                                                
The single component combination foods have single component record foods in the
Individual Foods File; the Combination Food Flag (DRPCFF) value for single      
component combination foods is equal to zero.  When respondents were unable to  
                                                                                
                                                                               
describe the components of a combination food such as a sandwich, the DDC       
System's generic food entries were selected during the dietary interview.  Many 
brand name combination foods are single component combination foods.  When the  
generic and brand name combination food entries were selected, a standard foods 
database recipe was used to assign the food code and nutrient values to the     
combination food.                                                               
                                                                                
Single component generic and brand name combination foods were not included in  
the CFF unless component foods were added to or were omitted from the base food.
                                                                                
For example, if a respondent added avocado slices to a base food item such as a 
"fast food restaurant" sandwich, the resulting food was a combination food that 
consisted of avocado and the restaurant sandwich.  If major sandwich components 
(salad dressing, cheese, etc.) were removed or omitted from a "fast food        
restaurant" sandwich, the component foods that were eaten were entered          
individually into the DDC System, thus creating a multi-component combination   
food.  The Individual Foods File and CFF data may be combined to identify all   
reports of specific combination foods.  The DRPFCODE in the Individual Foods    
File, and the DRPCCODE in the CFF can be used to accomplish this.               
                                                                                
The CFF data include food gram weights, nutrient data, and descriptive          
information about the combination foods.  A combination food code (DRPCCODE) was
assigned to many combination foods.  The DRPCCODE was either a USDA food code or
a special food code that was developed by NCHS.  NCHS created a small number of 
special food codes because many combination foods reported during NHANES III    
could not be coded with existing USDA food codes.  For example, there were      
numerous reports of tortilla combinations containing eggs and meat.  NCHS also  
added a small number of food codes for unusual food combinations.  All          
combination food codes (DRPCCODE) are linked to food code descriptions.  The    
look-up table called "Codebook" can be used to obtain text descriptions for     
DRPCCODE.                                                                       
                                                                                
Seven of the fifteen combination food types (DRPTCC) were assigned combination  
food codes (DRPCCODE): sandwiches; mixed dishes; mixed dishes with additions;   
meat, fish, and poultry with additions; soups and stews; other foods eaten      
together; and tortilla combinations.  The DRPCCODE was assigned by NCHS to      
provide a means of describing the combination foods reported during NHANES III. 
Many of the combination foods reported during the survey were difficult to code 
due to the fact that unusual combinations were reported, equal amounts of       
multiple components were reported as components of a combination food, and      
numerous variations of foods were reported.                                     
                                                                                
Eight combination food types have generic combination foods descriptions that   
are based on their combination food type label (DRPTCC).  Beverage combinations,
cereal with additions, vegetables with additions, desserts, vegetable           
combinations, bread with additions, frozen meals, and salads have generic       
combination type descriptions that are associated with DRPTCC.  Many of the     
combination foods reported in these categories were comprised of equal amounts  
of component foods.  Second, there were no USDA food codes for many of these    
combination foods.  For example, ready-to-eat breakfast cereals eaten with sugar
and fresh fruit, or unusual vegetable combinations, for example, do not have    
USDA food codes.  Additionally, many combination foods were foods eaten in      
combination with other foods instead of being components of a single "food" such
as a sandwich, taco or stew.                                                    
                                                                                
                                                                               
It is suggested that analysts check the Individual Foods File first to review   
the frequency of occurrence of single component and multi-component combination 
foods.  The food code, brand name, and food identification codes (DRPFCODE,     
DRPCOMM, and DRPFID) variables are useful to describe single component          
combination foods as well as specific components of multi-component combination 
foods. A particular component food may appear in several combination type codes.
                                                                                
The CFF combination type code (DRPTCC) and combination food code (DRPCCODE)     
variables are useful for planning analyses involving multi-component combination
foods.  Detailed documentation is provided to describe the DRPCCODEs.           
                                                                                
                                                                               
Notes to Analysts                                                               
                                                                                
There are two exceptions to the basic combination foods coding procedures       
described earlier.  The approach NCHS used to handle these data entry exceptions
is described.                                                                   
                                                                                
Exception #1:  There are single component foods in the CFF that were prepared   
with more than one type of ingredient.  In such cases, the only way to capture  
specific ingredient information reported by the respondent using the DDC System 
was to enter the food as a multi- component or combination food.  One example   
was homemade cookies prepared with equal amounts of butter and margarine.  The  
dietary interviewers were instructed to enter half of the total amount of       
cookies eaten using margarine as an ingredient (component 1) and half of the    
amount eaten using butter as an ingredient (component 2).  To describe this     
particular "combination," the combination type code (DRPTCC) "Other foods eaten 
together" was used.                                                             
                                                                                
Exception #2- Modified Recipe Foods:  The second example of single component    
foods appearing as combination foods were those with modified recipes -- e.g.,  
homemade cornbread prepared without fat.  To report this modified cornbread,    
NCHS and NCC developed a fat-free cornbread recipe.  The ingredients were       
entered into the DDC System as separate food components resulting in a          
"combination food" as follows:  corn meal (component 1), egg (component 2), milk
(component 3), and so forth.  Modified recipe foods were coded using DRPTCC=8 or
"other foods eaten together".                                                   
                                                                                
In summary, combination foods were reported either as single component foods or 
multi-component foods in the Individual Foods File.  The CFF provides a single  
record summary of the multi- component foods reported in the survey.  The CFF   
provides total gram weight and nutrient data for many combination foods reported
during the survey.  The CFF is sorted by case number (CASE), meal number        
(DRPMN), and food number(DRPFN).

          Meal numbers in recalls that were complete and reliable (DRPSTAT=1)   
          always begin with meal number=1; meal numbers increase by one for each
          consecutive meal or snack reported during the dietary interview.  If a
          recall was coded reliable, but incomplete, (DRPSTAT=2) the meal       
          numbers may not be consecutive; information is reported for meals that
          were reported during the dietary interview.  Meal numbers are not     
          sorted by the time of day.

          Every food has a food number.  Foods are numbered within meals.  If   
          the recall was coded complete and reliable (DRPSTAT=1), the first food
          in each meal has a food number=1, and the other foods reported in the 
          same meal are numbered consecutively.  If the recall was coded        
          reliable, but incomplete, (DRPSTAT=2) the food numbers may not be     
          consecutive; information is reported for all foods that were reported 
          by the respondent.

          Foods are comprised of one or more components.  An example of a single
          component food is a slice of bread.  A sandwich is an example of a    
          multi-component food or combination food; in this example, the        
          component foods consist of bread and sandwich filling components.     
          If a recall was coded reliable and complete (DRPSTAT=1), all          
          components are numbered consecutively within a given food; the        
          component numbering sequence for the first food begins with component 
          number=1 and increases by one for each additional component in the    
          food.  The numbering sequence is repeated for each additional food    
          reported.  If the recall was coded reliable, but                      
          incomplete,(DRPSTAT=2) the component numbers may not be consecutive;  
          information is reported for the components that were reported by the  
          respondent.

          NCHS assigned combination food codes to 7 of the 15 combination food  
          types.  DRPCCODE text descriptions are found in a look-up table called
          "Codebook".  Special documentation was prepared for the CFF to provide
          data users with additional information on combination foods coding.   
          The coding information is found in an Appendix section to the CFF.
