A Comparison of National Estimates From the National Health Interview Survey and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to compare national estimates from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Methods. The authors compared data from the 2 surveys on smoking, height, weight, body mass index, diabetes, hypertension, immunization, lack of insurance coverage, cost as a barrier to medical care, and health status. Results. Overall national estimates were similar f…
Health care coverage and use of preventive services among the near elderly in the United States
OBJECTIVES: It has been proposed that individuals aged 55 to 64 years be allowed to buy into Medicare. This group is more likely than younger adults to have marginal health status, to be separating from the workforce, to face high premiums, and to risk financial hardship from major medical illness. The present study examined prevalence of health insurance coverage by demographic characteristics and examined how lack of insurance may affect use of…
Female labor force participation and suicide
The quality of life in the year before death
OBJECTIVES. Most Americans wish to live a long healthy life, but fear disease and dependency in their last years. Until recently, little has been known about the prevalence of opposite extremes of health in old age, particularly in the period leading up to death. METHODS. We used results from the 1986 National Mortality Follow-back Survey to estimate proportions of elderly decedents who were "fully functional" or "severely restricted" in the last…
Race of parents and infant birthweight in the United States
Detailed 1977 national natality data are used to investigate social, demographic, and genetic effects on birthweight differentials. Analysis of birthweight differences among infants with white, black, and mixed black-white parents indicates that a portion of the observed weight differentials appear to be due to biologic factors. Infants with a black mother and father have the lowest mean birthweights, while infants with two white parents have the…

A comparison of gestational age reporting methods based on physician estimate and date of last normal menses from fetal death reports
Utilizing 10,587 cases from the 1980 National Center for Health Statistics Fetal Death Statistics File, we examined the comparability of two methods of determining the gestational age of a fetal death, the calculated interval from date of last normal menses (DLNM) and the physician's estimate. The physician estimated gestational age distribution exhibits even number digit preference and a distinct clustering at the 40-week value. The DLNM distrib…
Variations in the reporting of gestational age at induced termination of pregnancy
Utilizing the 1980 Induced Abortion File maintained by the National Center for Health Statistics, we compared gestational age from date of last normal menses and the physician-based estimate of gestational age. An average .51 week difference between the two methods was observed. Beyond seven weeks gestation, the date of last normal menses value was underestimated by the physician-based estimate with a markedly greater divergence after 20 weeks. A…
Sociodemographic determinants of abortion in The United States
In recent years, both the absolute number of abortions and the abortion rate have increased steadily in the United States. Between 1972 and 1982, the number of legal abortions grew from approximately 0.6 to 1.6 million per year. Correspondingly, the abortion rate increased from 13.2 per 1,000 women in 1972 to 28.8 in 1982 (Centers for Disease Control, 1974, 1976; Henshaw, Forrest, and Blaine, 1984). The rise in the number of legal abortions among…
A closer examination of neonatal mortality rates among the Texas Spanish surname population
Considering the poor socioeconomic status of the Spanish surnamed population in Texas, the Spanish surname neonatal mortality rate seems surprisingly low. During five of the last 10 years, the neonatal mortality rate for Texas Spanish surnamed population was actually lower than for Anglos. It is often suggested that the low Spanish surname neonatal mortality rate is due in part to reporting problems peculiar to the Spanish surname population in T…
