Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Measurement and Interpretationof Electrocardiograms, Ages 20 Years-74 Years, Version 1. (Tape Number 6540)

摘要

From 1982 through 1984 a Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(HHANES) was conducted to obtain data on the health and nutritional status of three Hispanic groups: Mexican Americans from Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and California; Cuban Americans from Dade County, Florida; and Puerto Ricans from the New York City area, including parts of New Jersey and Connecticut. Data collection began with a household interview which included basic demographic and health history information. Later, in a Mobile Examination Center, two questionnaires were administered and an examination performed. The examination included a variety of tests and procedures and the questionnaires collected dietary data and information on mental health, reproductive history, and use of alcohol and drugs. The documentation contains demographic information and information derived from the electrocardiograms, including Minnesota code and wave amplitude and duration measurements.
