Component Description

The medical conditions section (variable name prefix MCQ) provides self- and proxy-reported personal interview data on a broad range of health conditions and medical history for both children and adults. The NHANES MCQ questionnaire section is generally modeled on the “Medical Conditions” questionnaire section of the U.S. National Health Interview Survey.

Major Topics in the MCQ Section:
Asthma, Childhood and Adult
Hay fever
Anemia
Overweight
Blood transfusions
Menses onset
Arthritis
Gout
Heart diseases (i.e., congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease, angina, and heart attack)
Stroke
Lung diseases (i.e., chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
Thyroid problems
Liver disease
Jaundice
Cancer (multiple varieties)
History of internal metal objects

Additional topics covered in this section include family history of select health conditions (asthma, heart attack/angina, and diabetes) and lifestyle modifications to reduce disease.

Eligible Sample

The target sample for questions in this section varies by age and gender. Please review the questionnaire and codebook carefully. Frequency counts were verified during the preparation of the file.

Interview Setting and Mode of Administration

These questions were asked, in the home, by trained interviewers using the Computer-Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) system. The survey questionnaire is available on the NHANES website.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

The CAPI system is programmed with built-in consistency checks to reduce data entry errors. CAPI also uses online help screens to assist interviewers in defining key terms used in the questionnaire.

Data Processing and Editing

The data were reviewed and edited for completeness, consistency, and illogical values.

Analytic Notes

A number of additional questions occur in MCQ that are logically related to other questionnaire sections or exam segments. Analysts should refer to these other NHANES sections as part of any data analysis.

Although these data were collected as part of the household questionnaire, if they are merged with the MEC exam data, exam sample weights should be used for the analyses.

Please refer to the NHANES Analytic Guidelines and the online NHANES Tutorial for further details on the use of sample weights and other analytic issues.
