All study participants who are 40 years of age and older are asked to respond to this section.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

Data Processing and Editing

Data for CDQ031, CDQ041, CDQ051 and CDQ071 were only asked of study participants 40-49 years of age, and are not being publicly released due to the increased risk of inadvertent disclosure.

Analytic Notes

The variables in this section are comparable to the variables released for 2001-2002. Other than question CDQ010, these questions are not comparable to the CDQ questions for NHANES 1999-2000, which focused on symptoms related to congestive heart failure.

Rose questionnaire criteria:
Grade 1 Angina is defined as CDQ001 = 1 and CDQ002 = 1 (but CDQ003 ≠ 1) and CDQ004 = 1 and CDQ005 = 1 and CDQ006 = 1, plus either (CDQ009D = 4 or CDQ009E = 5) or (CDQ009F = 6 and CDQ009G = 7).
Grade 2 Angina is defined as CDQ001 = 1 and CDQ002 = 1 and CDQ003 = 1 and CDQ004 = 1 and CDQ005 = 1 and CDQ006 = 1, plus either (CDQ009D = 4 or CDQ009E = 5) or (CDQ009F = 6 and CDQ009G = 7).
