Objectives This report presents both age-
adjusted and unadjusted health statistics from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States Estimates are disaggregated by sex age race Hispanic origin education family income poverty status health insurance coverage (where appropriate) place of residence and region of residence The topics covered are respondent-assessed health status limitations in activities special education or early intervention services injury and poisoning episodes health care access and utilization and health insurance coverage
Data Source NHIS is a household multistage
probability sample survey conducted annually by interviewers of the US Census Bureau for the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos National Center for Health Statistics In 2010 household interviews were completed for 89976 persons living in 34329 households reflecting a household response rate of 795
Selected Highlights Nearly 7 in 10 persons were in
excellent or very good health in 2010 About 38 million persons (12) were limited in their usual activities due to one or more chronic health conditions About 5 million persons (2) required the help of another person with activities of daily living and about 9 million persons (4) required the help of another person with instrumental activities of daily living About 7 of children received special education or early intervention services Among persons under age 65 years about 48 million (19) did not have any health insurance coverage The most common reason for lacking health insurance was cost followed by a change in employment

Introduction
This report is one in a set of reports summarizing data from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) NHIS is a multipurpose health survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) This report provides national estimates for a broad range of health measures for the US civilian noninstitutionalized population The other two reports in this set provide estimates of selected health measures for children (1) and for adults (2) These three volumes of descriptive statistics and highlights are published for each year of NHIS (3ndash5) and since 1997 have replaced the annual one-volume Current Estimates series (6)
Estimates are derived from the Family Core component of the annual NHIS Basic Module and are presented for respondent-assessed health status limitations in activities special education or early intervention services injury and poisoning episodes health care access and utilization and health insurance coverage These estimates are shown in Tables 1ndash25 for various subgroups of the population including those defined by sex age race Hispanic origin educational attainment for persons aged 25 years and over family income poverty status health insurance coverage place of residence and region of residence Estimates for other characteristics of special relevance are also included where appropriate Appendix I contains brief technical
otes on methods including information bout age adjustment and unknown alues (Tables IndashIV) Appendix II rovides definitions of terms used in his report and Appendix III contains ables of unadjusted (crude) estimates Tables VndashXIX)
NHIS has been an important source f information about health and health are in the United States since it was irst conducted in 1957 Because of the ver-changing nature of the US opulation the NHIS questionnaire has een revised every 10ndash15 years with he latest revision occurring in 1997 he first sample design changes were
ntroduced in 1973 and the first rocedural changes in 1975 (7) In 1982 he NHIS questionnaire and data reparation procedures of the survey ere extensively revised In some cases
he basic concepts of NHIS changed nd in other cases the concepts were easured in a different way [For a ore complete explanation of the 1982
hanges see lsquolsquoCurrent Estimates From he National Health Interview Survey nited States 1982rsquorsquo Appendix IV (8)]
n 1985 a new sample design for NHIS nd a different method of presenting ampling errors were introduced (910) n 1995 another change in the sample esign was introduced including the versampling of black and Hispanic ersons (11)
In 1997 the NHIS questionnaire as substantially revised and the means f administration was changed to omputer-assisted personal interviewing his new design improved the ability of HIS to provide important health
nformation However comparisons of

data from 1997 through 2010 with data from 1996 and earlier years should not be undertaken without a careful examination of the changes across survey instruments (6810)
In response to the changing demographics of the US population in 1997 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued new standards for collecting data on race and Hispanic or Latino origin (12) Most notably these standards allow respondents to the census and federal surveys to indicate more than one race group in answering questions on race Additionally the category lsquolsquoAsian or Pacific Islanderrsquorsquo is now split into two distinct categoriesmdash lsquolsquoAsianrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanderrsquorsquomdashfor data collection purposes Although NHIS had allowed respondents to choose more than one race group for many years the survey became fully compliant with the 1997 OMB race and ethnicity standards with the fielding of the 1999 NHIS The tables in the present report reflect the current (1997) standards The text in the present report uses shorter versions of the 1997 OMB race and Hispanic or Latino origin terms for conciseness but the tables use the complete terms For example the category lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latino black or African American single racersquorsquo in the tables is referred to as lsquolsquonon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo in the text Although the tables contain information for persons of two or more races the lsquolsquoSelected Highlightsrsquorsquo section focuses on persons reporting one race
The NHIS sample is redesigned and redrawn about every 10 years to better measure the changing US population and to meet new survey objectives A new sample design for NHIS was implemented in 2006 and continues in use The fundamental structure of this design is very similar to the previous 1995ndash2005 NHIS sample design including state-level stratification The current design reduces the NHIS sample size by about 13 compared with the 1995ndash2005 NHIS In 2006 and beyond oversampling of the black and Hispanic populations has been retained to allow for more precise estimation of health characteristics in these growing minority populations The current sample design also oversamples the Asian population
In addition the sample adult selection process has been revised so that when black Hispanic or Asian persons aged 65 and over are in the family they have an increased chance of being selected as the sample adult
Additionally beginning with the 2003 NHIS editing procedures were changed to maintain consistency with the US Census Bureau procedures for collecting and editing data on race and ethnicity As a result of these changes in cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo is mentioned along with one or more OMB race groups the lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo response is dropped and the OMB race group information is retained on the NHIS data file In cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was the only race response it is treated as missing and the race is imputed Although this change has resulted in an increase in the number of persons in the OMB race category lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo because this is numerically the largest group the change is not expected to have a substantial effect on the estimates in this report More information about the raceethnicity editing procedures used by the Census Bureau can be found at http wwwcensusgovpopestdatahistorical filesMRSF-01-US1pdf
Since 2004 imputation has been performed for injury and poisoning episodes for which the respondent did not provide sufficient information to determine a month day and year of occurrence Imputation was done so that for all episodes it would be possible to calculate a specific elapsed time in days between the date of the injury or poisoning episode and the date the injury or poisoning questions were asked For further details about changes to the injury and poisoning questions and analytic methods see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Methods
Data Source The main objective of NHIS is to
monitor the health of the US
population through the collection and analysis of data on a broad range of health topics The target population for NHIS is the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States Persons excluded are patients in long-term care institutions (eg nursing homes for the elderly hospitals for the chronically ill or physically or intellectually disabled and wards for abused or neglected children) correctional facilities (eg prisons or jails juvenile detention centers and halfway houses) active-duty Armed Forces personnel (although their civilian family members are included) and US nationals living in foreign countries Each year a representative sample of households across the country is selected for NHIS using a multistage cluster sample design Details on sample design can be found in lsquolsquoDesign and Estimation for the National Health Interview Survey 1995ndash2004rsquorsquo (11) Trained interviewers from the US Census Bureau visit each selected household and administer NHIS in person Detailed interviewer instructions can be found in the NHIS field representativersquos manual (14)
The annual NHIS questionnaire (also called the Basic Module or Core) consists of three main components the Family Core the Sample Adult Core and the Sample Child Core The Family Core the source of data for this report collects information for all family members regarding household composition and sociodemographic characteristics along with basic indicators of health status limitation in activities and utilization of health care services One responsible family member whose age is equal to or greater than the age of majority for a given state responds to questions about all family members in the Family Core In most states this age is 18 years but in Alabama and Nebraska it is 19 years and in Mississippi it is 21 years Although considerable effort is made to ensure accurate reporting the information from both proxies and self-respondents may be inaccurate because the respondent is unaware of relevant information has forgotten it does not wish to reveal it to an interviewer or does not understand the intended meaning of the question
Series 10 No 251 [ Page 3
The Sample Adult and Sample Child Cores obtain additional information on the health of one randomly selected adult (the lsquolsquosample adultrsquorsquo) and one randomly selected child (the lsquolsquosample childrsquorsquo) in the family Sample adults respond for themselves and a knowledgeable adult in the family provides proxy responses for the sample child In rare instances when the sample adult is mentally or physically incapable of responding proxy responses are accepted for this person
The interviewed sample for 2010 consisted of 34329 households which yielded 89976 persons in 35177 families The total noninterview rate was205 of which 129 was the result of respondent refusal and unacceptable partial interviews The remainder was primarily the result of failure to locate an eligible respondent at home after repeated calls (15)
Estimation Procedures The estimates presented in this
report are weighted using the Person Record Weight to provide national health estimates For each health measure both weighted frequencies and percentages (or rates) for all persons andfor various subgroups of the population are shown All counts are expressed in thousands Counts for persons of unknown status with respect to each health characteristic of interest are not shown separately in the tables nor are they included in the calculation of percentages (or rates) to make the presentation of the data more straightforward For all health measures in this report the weighted percentages with unknown values are typically small (generally 1 or less) and are shown in Appendix I (Tables IIndashIV) Nevertheless these unknown cases are included in the total population counts shown in selected tables Note that readers may obtain slightly different percentages than those shown in the tables if they elect to calculate percentages based on the frequencies and population counts presented in the tables
Additionally some of the sociodemographic variables used to delineate various subgroups of the population have unknown values For
most of these variables the percentage unknown is small However in the case of family income no income information is available for about 5 of respondents in the 2010 survey and about 20 of respondents provided only a broad range for their familyrsquos income (refer to the lsquolsquoIncome and Poverty Status Changesrsquorsquo section for more information) As a result poverty status which is based on family income has a high nonresponse rate (see Appendix I Table IV) (16) Missing data on family income and personal earnings in NHIS have been imputed by NCHS analysts using multiple-imputation methodology Five ASCII data sets containing imputed values for the survey year and additional information about the imputed income files can be found at http wwwcdcgovnchsnhishtm However income and poverty estimates in the present report are based on reported income only and may differ from other measures that are based on imputed income data (which were not available when this report was prepared) Health estimates for persons with unknown sociodemographic characteristics are not shown in the tables See Appendix I for more information on the extent of unknown data for income and poverty status
Injuries and Poisonings Since 2004 imputation has been
performed for injury and poisoning episodes for which the respondent did not provide sufficient information to determine a month day and year of occurrence Imputation was done so that for all episodes it was possible to calculate a specific elapsed time in days between the date of the injury or poisoning episode and the date the injury or poisoning questions were asked
From 1997 through 2003 injury and poisoning estimates were calculated using the full 3-month recall period to which the questions referred A study by Warner et al (17) showed that as the recall period increases the annualized number of injuries and poisonings reported decreases because respondents tend to forget less serious injuries and poisonings Based on recommendations
from this study beginning in 2004 injury and poisoning estimates have been calculated using only those injuries and poisonings that occurred 5 weeks or less before the date the injury and poisoning questions were asked
Because of changes in the injury and poisoning section imputation of unknown dates of injury and poisoning episodes and the use of a 5-week reference period rather than a 3-month recall period to calculate annualized estimates used in this report estimates for 2004 and subsequent years are not comparable with estimates from prior years For further details about changes to the injury and poisoning questions and analytic methods effective with 2004 see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Transition to the 2000 Census-based Weights
In Summary Health Statistics reports prior to 2003 the weights for the NHIS data were derived from 1990 census-based postcensal population estimates Beginning with the 2003 data NHIS transitioned to weights derived from the 2000 census-based population estimates The impact of this transition was assessed for the 2002 NHIS by comparing estimates for selected health characteristics using the 1990 census-based weights with those using the 2000 census-based weights Although the effect of new population controls on survey estimates differed by type of health characteristic the effect of this change on health characteristic rates was small but was somewhat larger for weighted frequencies (18)
Age Adjustment Beginning with the 2002 report
estimates are provided in two sets of tables Unless otherwise specified percentages and rates in the first set (Tables 1ndash25) were age adjusted using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population Age adjustment was used to permit comparison among various sociodemographic subgroups
Page 4 [ Series 10 No 251
that may have different age structures (1920) Unless otherwise noted the age groups used for age adjustment are the same age groups presented in the tables The age-adjusted estimates in this report may not match age-adjusted estimates for the same health characteristic in other reports if different age groups were used for age adjustment Appendix III provides Tables VndashXIX containing unadjusted estimates so that readers can compare current estimates with those published in the 1997ndash2001 Summary Health Statistics reports and can see the effects of age adjustment on the 2010 estimates (see Appendix I for details on age adjustment) Frequency tables have been removed from the set of unadjusted data tables in Appendix III to eliminate redundancy in the report
Sample Size Changes in NHIS
In 2002ndash2004 and 2006ndash2008 the size of the NHIS sample was reduced due to budget shortfalls Following a reduction of approximately 50 during JanuaryndashMarch 2009 newly available funding later in 2009 permitted an expansion during OctoberndashDecember to increase that quarterrsquos normal sample size by approximately 50 The net effect of the JanuaryndashMarch reduction and the OctoberndashDecember expansion was that the 2009 NHIS sample size was approximately the same as it would have been if the sample had been maintained at a normal level during the entire calendar year
In 2010 the NHIS sample was expanded by approximately 25 during JanuaryndashMarch There were no further expansions or reductions in the remaining months of that year resulting in a 2010 NHIS sample size that was slightly larger than the 2009 NHIS sample size
Income and Poverty Status Changes
Starting with the 2007 NHIS the income amount follow-up questions that had been in place since 1997 were replaced with a series of unfolding bracket questions This decision was
based on the relatively poor performance of the 1997ndash2006 versions of the follow-up income amount questions and on the results of a 2006 field test that compared unfolding bracket follow-up questions with the income amount follow-up questions used since 1997 For more information about the 2006 field test see Appendix I
The unfolding bracket method utilized a series of closed-ended income range questions (eg lsquolsquoIs it less than $50000rsquorsquo) for respondents who failed to provide the exact amount of the familyrsquos income The closed-ended income range questions were constructed so that each successive question established a smaller range for the amount of the familyrsquos income in the last calendar year
Based on results from the 2006 field test the unfolding bracket follow-up income questions performed better than the follow-up income questions used from 1997 to 2006 For example the percentage of unknown responses for a three-category poverty status variable was 17 using the income bracket follow-up questions compared with 31 using the income follow-up questions used from 1997 to 2006
Because of these positive results the unfolding bracket income follow-up questions were implemented during the first quarter of the 2007 NHIS Because of the differences in the income follow-up questions between 1997ndash2006 and 2007ndash2010 income and poverty status estimates from 2007ndash2010 may not be comparable with those from prior years
Data Limitations As mentioned previously the
redesigned NHIS is quite different in content format and mode of data collection from earlier versions of the survey These changes can make it complex to compare 1997ndash2010 NHIS estimates with those of earlier years The 2006ndash2010 NHIS is based on a different sample designmdashincluding the oversampling of the Asian population and of Hispanic black or Asian sample adults at least 65 years of age as well
as a permanent sample reduction of 13mdashcompared with the 1997ndash2005 NHIS The change in sample design should be considered when comparing estimates from the 2006ndash2010 NHIS with those from earlier years Beginning in 2003 NHIS uses weights derived from the 2000 census-based population estimates Those who compare NHIS frequencies across this transition (eg comparing 2005 with 2002) need to recognize that some of the observed differences may be due to the change in the population estimates Unadjusted percentage estimates shown in the Appendix III tables may be compared with those published in Summary Health Statistics reports of 1997ndash2001 which did not contain age-adjusted estimates Age-adjusted estimates in this report should not be compared with earlier unadjusted estimates unless it can be demonstrated that the effect of age adjustment is minimal
It is important to note that frequencies are underestimates due to item nonresponse and unknowns both of which are excluded from the tables (with the exception of the lsquolsquoAll personsrsquorsquo or lsquolsquoTotalrsquorsquo columns shown in each table) See Appendix I Tables IIndashIV for more information about the number of unknowns with respect to each health characteristic
Estimates should be interpreted only after reviewing Appendix I which contains important information about the methods used to obtain the estimates changes in the survey instrument and measurement issues that are currently being evaluated
Variance Estimation and Significance Testing
Because NHIS data are based on a sample of the population they are subject to sampling error Standard errors are reported to indicate the reliability of the estimates Estimates and standard errors were calculated using SUDAAN software (21) which takes into account the complex sampling design of NHIS The Taylor series linearization method was used for variance estimation in SUDAAN
Series 10 No 251 [ Page 5
Standard errors are shown for all rates and percentages in the tables (but not for the frequencies) Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 30 and less than or equal to 50 are indicated with an asterisk () and should be used with caution as they do not meet standards of reliability or precision Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 50 are indicated with a dagger (dagger) and are not shown The statistical significance of differences between point estimates was evaluated using two-sided t tests at the 005 level and assuming independence Terms such as lsquolsquogreater thanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoless thanrsquorsquo lsquolsquomore likelyrsquorsquo lsquolsquoless likelyrsquorsquo lsquolsquocompared withrsquorsquo or lsquolsquoopposed torsquorsquo indicate a significant difference between estimates whereas lsquolsquosimilarrsquorsquo lsquolsquono differencersquorsquo or lsquolsquocomparablersquorsquo indicate that the estimates are not significantly different A lack of commentary about any two estimates should not be interpreted to mean that a t test was performed and the difference was found to be not significant Furthermore these tests did not take into account multiple comparisons

Selected Highlights
This section presents brief bulleted summaries of the estimates shown in Tables 1ndash25 Estimated percentages and rates were age adjusted by the direct method using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population In most cases the age groups used to adjust estimated percentages and rates are the same age groups presented in the tables (see table notes for age-adjustment groups) All estimates were calculated using the Person Record Weight variable which is calibrated by NCHS staff to produce numbers consistent with the population estimates of the United States by age sex and raceethnicity based on projections from the 2000 US Census
Respondent-assessed Health Status (Tables 1 and 2) + Nearly 7 in 10 persons were in
excellent or very good health and fewer than 1 in 10 persons were in fair or poor health
+ Nearly 3 in 10 adults aged 75 years and over were in fair or poor health
+ White (38) and Asian (36) persons were more likely than black persons (28) to be in excellent health
+ The percentage of persons in excellent health increased with increased levels of education and family income
+ College graduates (39) were more than twice as likely as persons who had not graduated from high school (16) to be in excellent health
+ Persons with family incomes of $100000 or more (49) were almost twice as likely as those with family incomes of less than $35000 (26) to be in excellent health

Appendix I Technical Notes on Methods (including Tables IndashIV)
This report is one of a set of statistical reports published by the staff of the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) It is based on data contained in the 2010 in-house Person File that are derived from the Family Core component of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) All estimates were weighted using the Person Record Weight and the in-house data file The detailed sample design information was used to produce the most accurate variance estimates possible Note that estimates and variances may differ depending on the weight used
All data used in the report are also available from the NHIS public-use data files (15) with the exception of detailed information on race and Hispanic or Latino origin place of residence and sample design Detailed sample design variables place of residence variables and detailed information on race and Hispanic or Latino origin cannot be made available on the public-use files due to potential disclosure of confidential information
Standard errors produced using the SUDAAN statistical package (21) are shown for all percentages and rates in the tables Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 30 and less than or equal to 50 are indicated with an asterisk () and should be used with caution because they do not meet standards of reliability or precision Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 50 are indicated with a dagger (dagger) and are not shown The relative standard errors are calculated as follows
Relative standard error = (SEEst)100
where SE is the standard error of the estimate and Est is the estimate (percent rate or frequency) Because the reliability of frequencies and the reliability of the corresponding percentages (or rates) are determined independently it is possible for a particular frequency to be reliable and its associated percentage (or rate) to be unreliable and vice versa In most
instances however both estimates were reliable (or unreliable) simultaneously
Age Adjustment Unless otherwise specified the
percentages and rates shown in Tables 1ndash25 were age adjusted using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population provided by the US Census Bureau (1920) Age adjustment was used to allow comparison among various population subgroups that have different age structures This is particularly important for demographic characteristics such as race and ethnicity education and marital status It is also helpful in regard to other characteristics
Age-adjusted rates are calculated by the direct method as follows
n
r pi ii=1 Est = n
pii=1
where ri = rate in age group i in the population of interest
pi = standard population in age group i
n = total number of age groups used for age adjustment
and Est = the age-adjusted rate
The standard age distribution used for age adjusting estimates from NHIS is the projected 2000 US population as the standard population Table I shows the age distributions used in the DESCRIPT and RATIO procedures of SUDAAN to perform age adjustment Unless otherwise noted the age groups used to adjust estimates are the same age groups presented in the tables Using different age groups for age adjustment may result in slightly different estimates For this reason age-adjusted estimates for health characteristics in this report may not match age-adjusted estimates for the same health characteristics in other reports Unadjusted estimates were also calculated and are provided in Appendix III
For more information on the derivation of age-adjustment weights for use with NCHS survey data see Klein and Schoenborn (20) which is available through NCHS at httpwwwcdcgov nchsdatastatntstatnt20pdf The year 2000 projected US standard resident population is available through the US Census Bureau at http wwwcensusgovprod1popp25-1130 p251130pdf
Treatment of Unknown Values
In the tables all unknown values (ie respondents coded as lsquolsquorefusedrsquorsquo lsquolsquodonrsquot knowrsquorsquo or lsquolsquonot ascertainedrsquorsquo) with respect to each tablersquos variables of interest were removed from the denominators when calculating row percentages (or rates) In most instances the overall number of unknowns is quite small and would not have supported disaggregation by the demographic characteristics included in the table Because these unknowns are not shown separately users calculating their own percentages based on the frequencies and population counts presented in the tables may obtain slightly different results To aid understanding of the data weighted counts (in thousands) and weighted percentages of unknowns (with respect to the variables of interest in each table) are shown in Tables II and III
Unknowns with respect to the demographic characteristics used in each table are not shown due to small cell counts However unknowns for both family income and poverty status typically include a sizable number of persons regardless of the health outcome shown in the table Missing data on family income and personal earnings in NHIS have been imputed by NCHS analysts using multiple-imputation methodology Five ASCII data sets containing imputed values for the survey year and additional information about the imputed income files are available at http wwwcdcgovnchsnhishtm However

NOTE Standard as specified in Shalala DE HHS policy for changing the population standard for age adjusting death rates Memorandum from the Secretary August 261998
income and poverty estimates in the present report are based on reported income only and may differ from other measures that are based on imputed data (which were not available when this report was prepared) Because it is difficult to interpret the relationship between unknown income (or poverty status) and the health outcomes displayed in the tables counts of persons in these unknown categories are not shown in the tables Table IV shows
weighted counts (in thousands) and weighted percentages of persons in the US population with unknown values for family income and poverty status as well as for education and health insurance coverage
The lsquolsquoIncome and Assetsrsquorsquo section in the Family Core of the NHIS instrument allows respondents to report their family income in several ways Respondents are first asked to provide their familyrsquos total combined income before taxes
from all sources for the previous calendar year in a dollar amount (from $0 up to $999995) Any family income responses greater than $999995 are entered as $999995 From 1997 to 2006 respondents who did not know or refused to state an amount were then asked if their familyrsquos combined income in the previous calendar year was $20000 or more or less than $20000 If they again refused to answer or said that they did not know they were not

asked any more questions about their family income Respondents who repliedto the lsquolsquoabovebelow $20000rsquorsquo question were then handed a list of detailed income categories (top-coded at $75000 or more) and asked to select the interval containing their best estimate of their familyrsquos combined income
However starting with survey year 2007 the income follow-up questions were changed Modifications to the 1997ndash2006 income follow-up questions were explored because the 1997ndash2006 income follow-up questions had not
appreciably increased the analytic usability of family income data or of the poverty ratio in NHIS During the second quarter of 2006 in an attempt to decrease the frequency of unknown responses to family income and poverty status variables in NHIS a portion of the NHIS sample participated in a field test that evaluated an alternative way to ask respondents about family income Based on the results of the 2006 field test the NHIS family income questions were modified starting with the first quarter of 2007
In the 2010 NHIS respondents who did not know or refused to state an income amount were asked if their familyrsquos combined income in the previous calendar year was $50000 or more or less than $50000 If they again refused to answer or said that they did not know they were not asked any more questions about their familyrsquos income If the respondent indicated that the familyrsquos income was less than $50000 at most two additional follow-up questions were asked (a) if the family income was less than (or at least) $35000 and (b) if the family income was less than $35000 whether the family income was less than the poverty threshold The familyrsquos poverty threshold was prefilled by the computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) instrument using information on the familyrsquos size collected earlier in the interview
If the respondent initially indicated that the family income was $50000 or more at most two additional follow-up questions were asked (a) if the family income was less than (or at least) $100000 and (b) if the family income was less than $100000 whether the family income was less than (or at least) $75000
NHIS respondents thus fall into one of four categories with respect to income information (a) those who supplied a dollar amount (75 of the 2010 sample) (b) those who indicated a
Page 78 [ Series 10 No 251
range for their income by answering all of the applicable follow-up questions (17 of the sample) (c) those who indicated a less precise range for their familyrsquos income by only answering some of the applicable follow-up questions (3 of the sample) and (d) those who provided no income information (5 of the sample)(unweighted results)
Respondents who stated that their family income was below $35000 are included in the lsquolsquoLess than $35000rsquorsquo category under lsquolsquoFamily incomersquorsquo in the tables in this report along with respondents who gave an income range that was less than $35000 Likewise respondents who stated that their family income was at or above $35000 are included in the lsquolsquo$35000 or morersquorsquo category under lsquolsquoFamily incomersquorsquo along with those respondents who gave an income range that was $35000 or more Users will note that the counts for the detailed (indented) amounts do not sum to the count shown for lsquolsquo$35000 or morersquorsquo for this reason
A poverty status variable was created for all respondents Poverty status is the ratio of the family income in the previous calendar year to the appropriate 2009 poverty threshold (given the family size and number of children) defined by the US Census Bureau (16) Different poverty thresholds were used in creating the poverty ratios for respondents who provided a dollar amount and respondents who specified only an income category in the follow-up questions In a small number of cases (less than 05) there may be inconsistencies in the categorical assignment of families in the detailed poverty ratio variables reflecting the source of the income information For further information consult the 2010 NHIS Survey Description Document at ftpftpcdcgovpubHealth_Statistics NCHSDataset_DocumentationNHIS 2010srvydescpdf
Persons categorized as lsquolsquoPoorrsquorsquo had a ratio less than 10 that is their family incomes were strictly below the poverty threshold The lsquolsquoNear poorrsquorsquo category includes persons with family incomes of 100 to less than 200 of the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNot poorrsquorsquo persons have
family incomes that are 200 of the poverty threshold or greater The remaining groups of respondentsmdashthose who did not supply sufficient income information in the follow-up questions to categorize as a three-category poverty status variable as well as those who refused to provide any income informationmdashare by necessity coded as lsquolsquounknownrsquorsquo with respect to poverty status Family income information is missing for 5 of the US population and poverty status information is missing for 12 of the US population (weighted results) Five percent of the NHIS sample is missing information on income and 12 of the NHIS sample is missing information on poverty status (unweighted results)
NCHS analysts have ascertained that hospitalizations for newborns with a normal birth and for women with a normal delivery have been undercounted Therefore the estimates associated with hospitalizations reported here are smaller than would be obtained if all hospitalizations for births and deliveries were counted
Estimates of injury and poisoning episodes by their cause are derived from the International Classification of Diseases 9th Revision Clinical Modification (ICDndash9ndashCM) external cause codes (E codes) that describe the cause of the episode A person may experience multiple injury or poisoning episodes
Because of changes in the injury and poisoning section imputation of unknown dates of injury and poisoning episodes and the use of a 5-week reference period rather than a 3-month recall period to calculate annualized estimates used in this report estimates for 2004 and subsequent years are not comparable with estimates from prior years For further details about changes to the injury or poisoning questions and analytic methods effective with 2004 see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Frequencies presented in Tables 8 9 11 and 13 were annualized by multiplying the counts for the 5-week reference period by 104 to produce annualized frequencies Rates presented
in Tables 8 10 12 14 and XIndashXIII were calculated using the annualized frequencies
Hypothesis Tests Two-tailed tests of significance
were performed on all the comparisons mentioned in the lsquolsquoSelected Highlightsrsquorsquo section of this report (no adjustments were made for multiple comparisons) The test statistic used to determine statistical significance of the difference between two percentages was
|Xa ndash Xb|Z = Sa
2 + Sb 2 radic
where Xa and Xb are the two percentages being compared and Sa and Sb are the SUDAAN-calculated standard errors of those percentages The critical value used for two-sided tests at the 005 level was 196

Appendix II Definitions of Selected Terms
Sociodemographic Terms AgemdashThe age recorded for each
person is the age at his or her last birthday Age is recorded in single years and grouped using a variety of age categories depending on the purpose of the table
EducationmdashThe categories of education are based on the years of school completed or highest degree obtained for persons aged 25 years and over Only years completed in a school that advances a person toward an elementary or high school diploma General Educational Development high school equivalency diploma (GED) or college university or professional degree are included Education in other schools or home schooling is counted only if the credits are accepted in a regular school system
Family incomemdashEach member of a family is classified according to the total income of all family members Family members are all persons within the household related to each other by blood marriage cohabitation or adoption The income recorded is the total income received by all family members in the previous calendar year Income from all sources includes wages salaries military pay (when an Armed Forces member lives in the family) pensions government payments child support or alimony dividends and help from relatives Unrelated individuals living in the same household (eg roommates) are considered to be separate families and are classified according to their own incomes
Health insurance coveragemdash National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) respondents were asked about their health insurance coverage at the time of interview Respondents reported whether they were covered by private insurance (obtained through an employer or workplace purchased directly or purchased through a local or community program) Medicare Medigap (supplemental Medicare coverage) Medicaid Childrenrsquos Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Indian Health Service (IHS) military coverage (including VA
TRICARE or CHAMPndashVA) a state-sponsored health plan another government program or any single-service plans This information was used to form two health insurance hierarchies one for those under age 65 years and another for those aged 65 years and over
For persons under age 65 years a health insurance hierarchy of four mutually exclusive categories was developed (2223) Persons with more than one type of health insurance were assigned to the first appropriate category in the following hierarchy
Private coveragemdashIncludes persons who had any comprehensive private insurance plan (including health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations) These plans include those obtained through an employer purchased directly or purchased through local or community programs
MedicaidmdashIncludes persons who do not have private coverage but who have Medicaid or other state-sponsored health plans including CHIP
Other coveragemdashIncludes persons who do not have private coverage or Medicaid (or other public coverage) but who have any type of military health plan (includes VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) or Medicare This category also includes persons who are covered by other government programs
UninsuredmdashIncludes persons who have not indicated that they are covered at the time of the interview under private health insurance (from employer or workplace purchased directly or through a state local government or community program) Medicare Medicaid CHIP a state-sponsored health plan other government programs or military health plan (includes VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) This category also includes persons covered by IHS only or who only have a plan that pays for one type
of service such as accidents or dental care
For persons aged 65 years and over a health insurance hierarchy of five mutually exclusive categories was developed (24) Persons with more than one type of health insurance were assigned to the first appropriate category in the following hierarchy
Private coveragemdashIncludes older persons who have both Medicare and any comprehensive private health insurance plan (including health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations) These plans include those obtained through a current or former employer purchased directly or purchased through local or community programs This category also includes persons with private insurance only
Medicare and MedicaidmdashIncludes older persons who do not have any private coverage but who have both Medicare and Medicaid or other state-sponsored health plans including CHIP
Medicare onlymdashIncludes older persons who only have Medicare coverage
Other coveragemdashIncludes older persons who have not been previously classified as having private Medicare and Medicaid or Medicare-only coverage It includes older persons who have only Medicaid other state-sponsored health plans or CHIP as well as persons who have any type of military health plan (VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) with or without Medicare
UninsuredmdashIncludes persons who have not indicated that they are covered at the time of the interview under private health insurance (from employer or workplace purchased directly or obtained through a state local government or community program) Medicare Medicaid CHIP a state-sponsored health plan
Page 80 [ Series 10 No 251
other government programs or military health plan (VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) This category also includes persons who are covered by IHS only or who only have a plan that pays for one type of service such as accidents or dental care
For approximately 1 of respondents coverage status (ie whether they are insured or uninsured) is unknown Weighted frequencies indicate that approximately 077 of the population under 65 years of age and approximately 049 of the population aged 65 and over fall into this lsquolsquoUnknownrsquorsquo category
Hispanic or Latino origin and racemdashThese are two separate and distinct concepts Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin may be of any race Hispanic or Latino origin includes persons of Mexican Puerto Rican Cuban Central and South American or Spanish origin All tables show Mexican or Mexican-American persons as a subset of Hispanic or Latino Other groups are not shown for reasons of confidentiality or statistical reliability
In the 1997 and 1998 Summary Health Statistics reports (25ndash30) Hispanic ethnicity was shown as a part of raceethnicity which also included categories for lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic whitersquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic otherrsquorsquo (some tables showed Mexican American persons as a subset of Hispanic persons) Beginning in 1999 the categories for race were expanded to be consistent with the 1997 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) federal guidelines (12) and a distinction is now made between the characteristics of race and of Hispanic or Latino origin and race In addition to reporting estimates according to race estimates are reported for groups classified by Hispanic or Latino origin and race Hispanic or Latino origin and race is divided into lsquolsquoHispanic or Latinorsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latinorsquorsquo lsquolsquoHispanic or Latinorsquorsquo includes the subset lsquolsquoMexican or Mexican Americanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latinorsquorsquo is further divided into lsquolsquoWhite single racersquorsquo and lsquolsquoBlack or African American single racersquorsquo Persons in these categories
indicated only a single race group (see the definition of race in this appendix for more information) Data are not shown for other lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latino single racersquorsquo persons or for multiple-race persons due to statistical unreliability as measured by the relative standard errors of the estimates (but are included in the total for lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latinorsquorsquo)
The text in this report uses shorter versions of the current (1997) OMB race and Hispanic or Latino origin terms for conciseness and the tables use the complete terms For example the category lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latino black or African American single racersquorsquo in the tables is referred to as lsquolsquonon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo in the text
Place of residencemdashClassified in this report in three categories lsquolsquoLarge MSArsquorsquo (metropolitan statistical area) of 1 million or more persons lsquolsquoSmall MSArsquorsquo of less than 1 million persons and lsquolsquoNot in MSArsquorsquo Generally an MSA consists of a county or group of counties containing at least one urbanized area of 50000 or more population In addition to the county or counties that contain all or part of the urbanized area an MSA may contain adjacent counties that are economically and socially integrated with the central city The number of adjacent counties included in an MSA is not limited and boundaries may cross state lines
OMB defines MSAs according to published standards that are applied to US Census Bureau data The definition of an MSA is periodically reviewed For NHIS data for 1995ndash2005 the MSA definitions were based on the June 1993 MSA definitions that resulted from application of the 1990 OMB standards to the 1990 census Beginning in 2006 the June 2003 metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area definitions which resulted from application of the 2000 OMB standards to Census 2000 are used for National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data The 2000 criteria for designating MSAs differ from the 1990 criteria in substantial ways including simplification of the classification criteria of metropolitan statistical areas as well as the addition of a new categorymdashmicropolitan statistical areamdashfor some
nonmetropolitan counties These changes may lessen the comparability of estimates by place of residence in 2006ndash2010 with estimates from earlier years Those who compare NHIS frequencies across this transition in OMB standards need to recognize that some of the differences may be due to change in the definitions of metropolitan areas In the tables for this report place of residence is based on variables in the 2010 in-house Household data file indicating MSA status and MSA size These variables are collapsed into three categories based on Census 2000 population MSAs with a population of 1 million or more MSAs with a population of less than 1 million and areas that are not within an MSA Areas not in an MSA include both micropolitan areas and areas outside the core-based statistical areas For additional information about MSAs visit the US Census Bureau website at httpwwwcensusgovpopulationmetro
Poverty statusmdashBased on family income and family size using the US Census Bureaursquos poverty thresholds lsquolsquoPoorrsquorsquo persons are defined as below the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNear poorrsquorsquo persons have incomes of 100 to less than 200 of the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNot poorrsquorsquo persons have incomes that are 200 of the poverty threshold or greater See Appendix I for information on the measurement of family income and poverty status
RacemdashIn the 1997 and 1998 Summary Health Statistics reports (25ndash30) raceethnicity consisted of four categories lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic whitersquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic otherrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoHispanicrsquorsquo (some tables showed Mexican-American persons as a subset of Hispanic persons) Beginning in 1999 the categories for race were expanded to be consistent with the 1997 OMB federal guidelines (12) which now distinguish persons of one race from persons of two or more races The category lsquolsquoOne racersquorsquo refers to persons who indicated only a single race group and it includes subcategories for lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo lsquolsquoBlack or African Americanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoAmerican Indian or Alaska Nativersquorsquo lsquolsquoAsianrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanderrsquorsquo The category lsquolsquoTwo or more racesrsquorsquo refers to persons
Series 10 No 251 [ Page 81
who indicated more than one race group Data for multiple-race combinations can only be reported to the extent that the estimates meet the requirements for confidentiality and statistical reliability In this report three categories are shown for multiple-race individualsmdasha summary category and two multiple-race categories lsquolsquoBlack or African American and whitersquorsquo and lsquolsquoAmerican Indian or Alaska Native and whitersquorsquo Other combinations are not shown separately due to statistical unreliability as measured by the relative standard errors of the estimates (but they are included in the total for lsquolsquoTwo or more racesrsquorsquo)
Prior to 2003 lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was a separate race response on NHIS although it was not shown separately in the tables of the Summary Health Statistics reports Beginning with the 2003 NHIS however editing procedures were changed to maintain consistency with the US Census Bureau procedures for collecting and editing data on race and ethnicity As a result in cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was mentioned along with one or more OMB race groups the lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo response is dropped and the OMB race group information is retained on the NHIS data file In cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo is the only race response it is treated as missing and the race is imputed Although this change has resulted in an increase in the number of persons in the OMB race category lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo because this is numerically the largest group the change is not expected to have a substantial effect on the estimates in this report More information about the raceethnicity editing procedures used by the US Census Bureau can be found at httpwwwcensusgovpopestdata historicalfilesMRSF-01-US1pdf
The text in this report uses shorter versions of the current (1997) OMB race terms for conciseness and the tables use the complete terms For example the category lsquolsquoBlack or African American single racersquorsquo in the tables is referred to as lsquolsquoblackrsquorsquo in the text

Objectives This report presents both age-
adjusted and unadjusted health statistics from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States Estimates are disaggregated by sex age race Hispanic origin education family income poverty status health insurance coverage (where appropriate) place of residence and region of residence The topics covered are respondent-assessed health status limitations in activities special education or early intervention services injury and poisoning episodes health care access and utilization and health insurance coverage
Data Source NHIS is a household multistage
probability sample survey conducted annually by interviewers of the US Census Bureau for the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos National Center for Health Statistics In 2010 household interviews were completed for 89976 persons living in 34329 households reflecting a household response rate of 795
Selected Highlights Nearly 7 in 10 persons were in
excellent or very good health in 2010 About 38 million persons (12) were limited in their usual activities due to one or more chronic health conditions About 5 million persons (2) required the help of another person with activities of daily living and about 9 million persons (4) required the help of another person with instrumental activities of daily living About 7 of children received special education or early intervention services Among persons under age 65 years about 48 million (19) did not have any health insurance coverage The most common reason for lacking health insurance was cost followed by a change in employment

Introduction
This report is one in a set of reports summarizing data from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) NHIS is a multipurpose health survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) This report provides national estimates for a broad range of health measures for the US civilian noninstitutionalized population The other two reports in this set provide estimates of selected health measures for children (1) and for adults (2) These three volumes of descriptive statistics and highlights are published for each year of NHIS (3ndash5) and since 1997 have replaced the annual one-volume Current Estimates series (6)
Estimates are derived from the Family Core component of the annual NHIS Basic Module and are presented for respondent-assessed health status limitations in activities special education or early intervention services injury and poisoning episodes health care access and utilization and health insurance coverage These estimates are shown in Tables 1ndash25 for various subgroups of the population including those defined by sex age race Hispanic origin educational attainment for persons aged 25 years and over family income poverty status health insurance coverage place of residence and region of residence Estimates for other characteristics of special relevance are also included where appropriate Appendix I contains brief technical
otes on methods including information bout age adjustment and unknown alues (Tables IndashIV) Appendix II rovides definitions of terms used in his report and Appendix III contains ables of unadjusted (crude) estimates Tables VndashXIX)
NHIS has been an important source f information about health and health are in the United States since it was irst conducted in 1957 Because of the ver-changing nature of the US opulation the NHIS questionnaire has een revised every 10ndash15 years with he latest revision occurring in 1997 he first sample design changes were
ntroduced in 1973 and the first rocedural changes in 1975 (7) In 1982 he NHIS questionnaire and data reparation procedures of the survey ere extensively revised In some cases
he basic concepts of NHIS changed nd in other cases the concepts were easured in a different way [For a ore complete explanation of the 1982
hanges see lsquolsquoCurrent Estimates From he National Health Interview Survey nited States 1982rsquorsquo Appendix IV (8)]
n 1985 a new sample design for NHIS nd a different method of presenting ampling errors were introduced (910) n 1995 another change in the sample esign was introduced including the versampling of black and Hispanic ersons (11)
In 1997 the NHIS questionnaire as substantially revised and the means f administration was changed to omputer-assisted personal interviewing his new design improved the ability of HIS to provide important health
nformation However comparisons of

data from 1997 through 2010 with data from 1996 and earlier years should not be undertaken without a careful examination of the changes across survey instruments (6810)
In response to the changing demographics of the US population in 1997 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued new standards for collecting data on race and Hispanic or Latino origin (12) Most notably these standards allow respondents to the census and federal surveys to indicate more than one race group in answering questions on race Additionally the category lsquolsquoAsian or Pacific Islanderrsquorsquo is now split into two distinct categoriesmdash lsquolsquoAsianrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanderrsquorsquomdashfor data collection purposes Although NHIS had allowed respondents to choose more than one race group for many years the survey became fully compliant with the 1997 OMB race and ethnicity standards with the fielding of the 1999 NHIS The tables in the present report reflect the current (1997) standards The text in the present report uses shorter versions of the 1997 OMB race and Hispanic or Latino origin terms for conciseness but the tables use the complete terms For example the category lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latino black or African American single racersquorsquo in the tables is referred to as lsquolsquonon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo in the text Although the tables contain information for persons of two or more races the lsquolsquoSelected Highlightsrsquorsquo section focuses on persons reporting one race
The NHIS sample is redesigned and redrawn about every 10 years to better measure the changing US population and to meet new survey objectives A new sample design for NHIS was implemented in 2006 and continues in use The fundamental structure of this design is very similar to the previous 1995ndash2005 NHIS sample design including state-level stratification The current design reduces the NHIS sample size by about 13 compared with the 1995ndash2005 NHIS In 2006 and beyond oversampling of the black and Hispanic populations has been retained to allow for more precise estimation of health characteristics in these growing minority populations The current sample design also oversamples the Asian population
In addition the sample adult selection process has been revised so that when black Hispanic or Asian persons aged 65 and over are in the family they have an increased chance of being selected as the sample adult
Additionally beginning with the 2003 NHIS editing procedures were changed to maintain consistency with the US Census Bureau procedures for collecting and editing data on race and ethnicity As a result of these changes in cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo is mentioned along with one or more OMB race groups the lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo response is dropped and the OMB race group information is retained on the NHIS data file In cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was the only race response it is treated as missing and the race is imputed Although this change has resulted in an increase in the number of persons in the OMB race category lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo because this is numerically the largest group the change is not expected to have a substantial effect on the estimates in this report More information about the raceethnicity editing procedures used by the Census Bureau can be found at http wwwcensusgovpopestdatahistorical filesMRSF-01-US1pdf
Since 2004 imputation has been performed for injury and poisoning episodes for which the respondent did not provide sufficient information to determine a month day and year of occurrence Imputation was done so that for all episodes it would be possible to calculate a specific elapsed time in days between the date of the injury or poisoning episode and the date the injury or poisoning questions were asked For further details about changes to the injury and poisoning questions and analytic methods see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Methods
Data Source The main objective of NHIS is to
monitor the health of the US
population through the collection and analysis of data on a broad range of health topics The target population for NHIS is the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States Persons excluded are patients in long-term care institutions (eg nursing homes for the elderly hospitals for the chronically ill or physically or intellectually disabled and wards for abused or neglected children) correctional facilities (eg prisons or jails juvenile detention centers and halfway houses) active-duty Armed Forces personnel (although their civilian family members are included) and US nationals living in foreign countries Each year a representative sample of households across the country is selected for NHIS using a multistage cluster sample design Details on sample design can be found in lsquolsquoDesign and Estimation for the National Health Interview Survey 1995ndash2004rsquorsquo (11) Trained interviewers from the US Census Bureau visit each selected household and administer NHIS in person Detailed interviewer instructions can be found in the NHIS field representativersquos manual (14)
The annual NHIS questionnaire (also called the Basic Module or Core) consists of three main components the Family Core the Sample Adult Core and the Sample Child Core The Family Core the source of data for this report collects information for all family members regarding household composition and sociodemographic characteristics along with basic indicators of health status limitation in activities and utilization of health care services One responsible family member whose age is equal to or greater than the age of majority for a given state responds to questions about all family members in the Family Core In most states this age is 18 years but in Alabama and Nebraska it is 19 years and in Mississippi it is 21 years Although considerable effort is made to ensure accurate reporting the information from both proxies and self-respondents may be inaccurate because the respondent is unaware of relevant information has forgotten it does not wish to reveal it to an interviewer or does not understand the intended meaning of the question
Series 10 No 251 [ Page 3
The Sample Adult and Sample Child Cores obtain additional information on the health of one randomly selected adult (the lsquolsquosample adultrsquorsquo) and one randomly selected child (the lsquolsquosample childrsquorsquo) in the family Sample adults respond for themselves and a knowledgeable adult in the family provides proxy responses for the sample child In rare instances when the sample adult is mentally or physically incapable of responding proxy responses are accepted for this person
The interviewed sample for 2010 consisted of 34329 households which yielded 89976 persons in 35177 families The total noninterview rate was205 of which 129 was the result of respondent refusal and unacceptable partial interviews The remainder was primarily the result of failure to locate an eligible respondent at home after repeated calls (15)
Estimation Procedures The estimates presented in this
report are weighted using the Person Record Weight to provide national health estimates For each health measure both weighted frequencies and percentages (or rates) for all persons andfor various subgroups of the population are shown All counts are expressed in thousands Counts for persons of unknown status with respect to each health characteristic of interest are not shown separately in the tables nor are they included in the calculation of percentages (or rates) to make the presentation of the data more straightforward For all health measures in this report the weighted percentages with unknown values are typically small (generally 1 or less) and are shown in Appendix I (Tables IIndashIV) Nevertheless these unknown cases are included in the total population counts shown in selected tables Note that readers may obtain slightly different percentages than those shown in the tables if they elect to calculate percentages based on the frequencies and population counts presented in the tables
Additionally some of the sociodemographic variables used to delineate various subgroups of the population have unknown values For
most of these variables the percentage unknown is small However in the case of family income no income information is available for about 5 of respondents in the 2010 survey and about 20 of respondents provided only a broad range for their familyrsquos income (refer to the lsquolsquoIncome and Poverty Status Changesrsquorsquo section for more information) As a result poverty status which is based on family income has a high nonresponse rate (see Appendix I Table IV) (16) Missing data on family income and personal earnings in NHIS have been imputed by NCHS analysts using multiple-imputation methodology Five ASCII data sets containing imputed values for the survey year and additional information about the imputed income files can be found at http wwwcdcgovnchsnhishtm However income and poverty estimates in the present report are based on reported income only and may differ from other measures that are based on imputed income data (which were not available when this report was prepared) Health estimates for persons with unknown sociodemographic characteristics are not shown in the tables See Appendix I for more information on the extent of unknown data for income and poverty status
Injuries and Poisonings Since 2004 imputation has been
performed for injury and poisoning episodes for which the respondent did not provide sufficient information to determine a month day and year of occurrence Imputation was done so that for all episodes it was possible to calculate a specific elapsed time in days between the date of the injury or poisoning episode and the date the injury or poisoning questions were asked
From 1997 through 2003 injury and poisoning estimates were calculated using the full 3-month recall period to which the questions referred A study by Warner et al (17) showed that as the recall period increases the annualized number of injuries and poisonings reported decreases because respondents tend to forget less serious injuries and poisonings Based on recommendations
from this study beginning in 2004 injury and poisoning estimates have been calculated using only those injuries and poisonings that occurred 5 weeks or less before the date the injury and poisoning questions were asked
Because of changes in the injury and poisoning section imputation of unknown dates of injury and poisoning episodes and the use of a 5-week reference period rather than a 3-month recall period to calculate annualized estimates used in this report estimates for 2004 and subsequent years are not comparable with estimates from prior years For further details about changes to the injury and poisoning questions and analytic methods effective with 2004 see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Transition to the 2000 Census-based Weights
In Summary Health Statistics reports prior to 2003 the weights for the NHIS data were derived from 1990 census-based postcensal population estimates Beginning with the 2003 data NHIS transitioned to weights derived from the 2000 census-based population estimates The impact of this transition was assessed for the 2002 NHIS by comparing estimates for selected health characteristics using the 1990 census-based weights with those using the 2000 census-based weights Although the effect of new population controls on survey estimates differed by type of health characteristic the effect of this change on health characteristic rates was small but was somewhat larger for weighted frequencies (18)
Age Adjustment Beginning with the 2002 report
estimates are provided in two sets of tables Unless otherwise specified percentages and rates in the first set (Tables 1ndash25) were age adjusted using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population Age adjustment was used to permit comparison among various sociodemographic subgroups
Page 4 [ Series 10 No 251
that may have different age structures (1920) Unless otherwise noted the age groups used for age adjustment are the same age groups presented in the tables The age-adjusted estimates in this report may not match age-adjusted estimates for the same health characteristic in other reports if different age groups were used for age adjustment Appendix III provides Tables VndashXIX containing unadjusted estimates so that readers can compare current estimates with those published in the 1997ndash2001 Summary Health Statistics reports and can see the effects of age adjustment on the 2010 estimates (see Appendix I for details on age adjustment) Frequency tables have been removed from the set of unadjusted data tables in Appendix III to eliminate redundancy in the report
Sample Size Changes in NHIS
In 2002ndash2004 and 2006ndash2008 the size of the NHIS sample was reduced due to budget shortfalls Following a reduction of approximately 50 during JanuaryndashMarch 2009 newly available funding later in 2009 permitted an expansion during OctoberndashDecember to increase that quarterrsquos normal sample size by approximately 50 The net effect of the JanuaryndashMarch reduction and the OctoberndashDecember expansion was that the 2009 NHIS sample size was approximately the same as it would have been if the sample had been maintained at a normal level during the entire calendar year
In 2010 the NHIS sample was expanded by approximately 25 during JanuaryndashMarch There were no further expansions or reductions in the remaining months of that year resulting in a 2010 NHIS sample size that was slightly larger than the 2009 NHIS sample size
Income and Poverty Status Changes
Starting with the 2007 NHIS the income amount follow-up questions that had been in place since 1997 were replaced with a series of unfolding bracket questions This decision was
based on the relatively poor performance of the 1997ndash2006 versions of the follow-up income amount questions and on the results of a 2006 field test that compared unfolding bracket follow-up questions with the income amount follow-up questions used since 1997 For more information about the 2006 field test see Appendix I
The unfolding bracket method utilized a series of closed-ended income range questions (eg lsquolsquoIs it less than $50000rsquorsquo) for respondents who failed to provide the exact amount of the familyrsquos income The closed-ended income range questions were constructed so that each successive question established a smaller range for the amount of the familyrsquos income in the last calendar year
Based on results from the 2006 field test the unfolding bracket follow-up income questions performed better than the follow-up income questions used from 1997 to 2006 For example the percentage of unknown responses for a three-category poverty status variable was 17 using the income bracket follow-up questions compared with 31 using the income follow-up questions used from 1997 to 2006
Because of these positive results the unfolding bracket income follow-up questions were implemented during the first quarter of the 2007 NHIS Because of the differences in the income follow-up questions between 1997ndash2006 and 2007ndash2010 income and poverty status estimates from 2007ndash2010 may not be comparable with those from prior years
Data Limitations As mentioned previously the
redesigned NHIS is quite different in content format and mode of data collection from earlier versions of the survey These changes can make it complex to compare 1997ndash2010 NHIS estimates with those of earlier years The 2006ndash2010 NHIS is based on a different sample designmdashincluding the oversampling of the Asian population and of Hispanic black or Asian sample adults at least 65 years of age as well
as a permanent sample reduction of 13mdashcompared with the 1997ndash2005 NHIS The change in sample design should be considered when comparing estimates from the 2006ndash2010 NHIS with those from earlier years Beginning in 2003 NHIS uses weights derived from the 2000 census-based population estimates Those who compare NHIS frequencies across this transition (eg comparing 2005 with 2002) need to recognize that some of the observed differences may be due to the change in the population estimates Unadjusted percentage estimates shown in the Appendix III tables may be compared with those published in Summary Health Statistics reports of 1997ndash2001 which did not contain age-adjusted estimates Age-adjusted estimates in this report should not be compared with earlier unadjusted estimates unless it can be demonstrated that the effect of age adjustment is minimal
It is important to note that frequencies are underestimates due to item nonresponse and unknowns both of which are excluded from the tables (with the exception of the lsquolsquoAll personsrsquorsquo or lsquolsquoTotalrsquorsquo columns shown in each table) See Appendix I Tables IIndashIV for more information about the number of unknowns with respect to each health characteristic
Estimates should be interpreted only after reviewing Appendix I which contains important information about the methods used to obtain the estimates changes in the survey instrument and measurement issues that are currently being evaluated
Variance Estimation and Significance Testing
Because NHIS data are based on a sample of the population they are subject to sampling error Standard errors are reported to indicate the reliability of the estimates Estimates and standard errors were calculated using SUDAAN software (21) which takes into account the complex sampling design of NHIS The Taylor series linearization method was used for variance estimation in SUDAAN
Series 10 No 251 [ Page 5
Standard errors are shown for all rates and percentages in the tables (but not for the frequencies) Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 30 and less than or equal to 50 are indicated with an asterisk () and should be used with caution as they do not meet standards of reliability or precision Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 50 are indicated with a dagger (dagger) and are not shown The statistical significance of differences between point estimates was evaluated using two-sided t tests at the 005 level and assuming independence Terms such as lsquolsquogreater thanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoless thanrsquorsquo lsquolsquomore likelyrsquorsquo lsquolsquoless likelyrsquorsquo lsquolsquocompared withrsquorsquo or lsquolsquoopposed torsquorsquo indicate a significant difference between estimates whereas lsquolsquosimilarrsquorsquo lsquolsquono differencersquorsquo or lsquolsquocomparablersquorsquo indicate that the estimates are not significantly different A lack of commentary about any two estimates should not be interpreted to mean that a t test was performed and the difference was found to be not significant Furthermore these tests did not take into account multiple comparisons

Selected Highlights
This section presents brief bulleted summaries of the estimates shown in Tables 1ndash25 Estimated percentages and rates were age adjusted by the direct method using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population In most cases the age groups used to adjust estimated percentages and rates are the same age groups presented in the tables (see table notes for age-adjustment groups) All estimates were calculated using the Person Record Weight variable which is calibrated by NCHS staff to produce numbers consistent with the population estimates of the United States by age sex and raceethnicity based on projections from the 2000 US Census

lsquolsquoOtherrsquorsquo includes fireburnscald related animal or insect bite machinery and other (not specified) The category lsquolsquoPoisoningrsquorsquo excludes food poisoning and allergic reaction Rates of episodes have been annualized in this table (see Appendix I) Beginning in 2004 annualized frequencies and rates are based only on episodes that occurred less than or equal to 5 weeks before the date the injurypoisoning questions were asked (see Appendix I) Some date information was imputed so that it would be possible to calculate a specific elapsed time in days between the date of the injurypoisoning episode and the date the injurypoisoning questions were asked for all episodes Estimates for 2004 and beyond should not be compared with estimates from prior years 2Includes unknown causes 3Includes other races not shown separately and persons with unknown education family income poverty status and health insurance characteristics 4Estimates for age groups are not age adjusted 5In accordance with the 1997 standards for federal data on race and Hispanic or Latino origin (see Appendix II) the category lsquolsquoOne racersquorsquo refers to persons who indicated only a single race group Persons who indicated a single race other than the groups shown are included in the total for lsquolsquoOne racersquorsquo but are not shown separately due to small sample sizes Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin may be of any race or combination of races The tables in this report use the current (1997) Office of Management and Budget race and Hispanic origin terms and the text uses shorter versions of these terms for conciseness For example the category lsquolsquoOne race Black or African Americanrsquorsquo in the tables is referred to as lsquolsquoblack personsrsquorsquo in the text 6Refers to all persons who indicated more than one race group Only two combinations of multiple race groups are shown due to small sample sizes for other combinations 7Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin may be of any race or combination of races Similarly the category lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latinorsquorsquo refers to all persons who are not of Hispanic or Latino origin regardless of race 8Shown only for persons aged 25 years and over Estimates are age adjusted using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population and using four age groups

lsquolsquo$35000 or morersquorsquo include both persons reporting dollar amounts and persons reporting only that their incomes were within one of these two categories (see Appendix I) The indented categories include only those persons who reported dollar amounts Because of the different income questions used in 2007 and beyond income estimates may not be comparable with those from earlier years 11Based on family income and family size using the US Census Bureaursquos poverty thresholds for the previous calendar year lsquolsquoPoorrsquorsquo persons are defined as below the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNear poorrsquorsquo persons have incomes of 100 to less than 200 of the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNot poorrsquorsquo persons have incomes that are 200 of the poverty threshold or greater Because of the different income questions used in 2007 and beyond poverty ratio estimates may not be comparable with those from earlier years 12Based on a hierarchy of mutually exclusive categories Persons with more than one type of health insurance were assigned to the first appropriate category in the hierarchy Persons under age 65 years and those aged 65 years and over were classified separately due to the predominance of Medicare coverage in the older population The category lsquolsquoPrivatersquorsquo includes persons who had any type of private coverage either alone or in combination with other coverage For example for persons aged 65 years and over lsquolsquoPrivatersquorsquo includes persons with only private coverage or private in combination with Medicare coverage The category lsquolsquoUninsuredrsquorsquo includes persons who had no coverage as well as those who had only Indian Health Service coverage or had only a private plan that paid for one type of service such as accidents or dental care (see Appendix II) Estimates are age adjusted using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population and using four age groups 0ndash11 years 12ndash17 years 18ndash44 years and 45ndash64 years for persons under age 65 and using two age groups 65ndash74 years and 75 years and over for persons aged 65 years and over 13MSA is metropolitan

Appendix I Technical Notes on Methods (including Tables IndashIV)
This report is one of a set of statistical reports published by the staff of the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) It is based on data contained in the 2010 in-house Person File that are derived from the Family Core component of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) All estimates were weighted using the Person Record Weight and the in-house data file The detailed sample design information was used to produce the most accurate variance estimates possible Note that estimates and variances may differ depending on the weight used
All data used in the report are also available from the NHIS public-use data files (15) with the exception of detailed information on race and Hispanic or Latino origin place of residence and sample design Detailed sample design variables place of residence variables and detailed information on race and Hispanic or Latino origin cannot be made available on the public-use files due to potential disclosure of confidential information
Standard errors produced using the SUDAAN statistical package (21) are shown for all percentages and rates in the tables Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 30 and less than or equal to 50 are indicated with an asterisk () and should be used with caution because they do not meet standards of reliability or precision Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 50 are indicated with a dagger (dagger) and are not shown The relative standard errors are calculated as follows
Relative standard error = (SEEst)100
where SE is the standard error of the estimate and Est is the estimate (percent rate or frequency) Because the reliability of frequencies and the reliability of the corresponding percentages (or rates) are determined independently it is possible for a particular frequency to be reliable and its associated percentage (or rate) to be unreliable and vice versa In most
instances however both estimates were reliable (or unreliable) simultaneously
Age Adjustment Unless otherwise specified the
percentages and rates shown in Tables 1ndash25 were age adjusted using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population provided by the US Census Bureau (1920) Age adjustment was used to allow comparison among various population subgroups that have different age structures This is particularly important for demographic characteristics such as race and ethnicity education and marital status It is also helpful in regard to other characteristics
Age-adjusted rates are calculated by the direct method as follows
n
r pi ii=1 Est = n
pii=1
where ri = rate in age group i in the population of interest
pi = standard population in age group i
n = total number of age groups used for age adjustment
and Est = the age-adjusted rate
The standard age distribution used for age adjusting estimates from NHIS is the projected 2000 US population as the standard population Table I shows the age distributions used in the DESCRIPT and RATIO procedures of SUDAAN to perform age adjustment Unless otherwise noted the age groups used to adjust estimates are the same age groups presented in the tables Using different age groups for age adjustment may result in slightly different estimates For this reason age-adjusted estimates for health characteristics in this report may not match age-adjusted estimates for the same health characteristics in other reports Unadjusted estimates were also calculated and are provided in Appendix III
For more information on the derivation of age-adjustment weights for use with NCHS survey data see Klein and Schoenborn (20) which is available through NCHS at httpwwwcdcgov nchsdatastatntstatnt20pdf The year 2000 projected US standard resident population is available through the US Census Bureau at http wwwcensusgovprod1popp25-1130 p251130pdf
Treatment of Unknown Values
In the tables all unknown values (ie respondents coded as lsquolsquorefusedrsquorsquo lsquolsquodonrsquot knowrsquorsquo or lsquolsquonot ascertainedrsquorsquo) with respect to each tablersquos variables of interest were removed from the denominators when calculating row percentages (or rates) In most instances the overall number of unknowns is quite small and would not have supported disaggregation by the demographic characteristics included in the table Because these unknowns are not shown separately users calculating their own percentages based on the frequencies and population counts presented in the tables may obtain slightly different results To aid understanding of the data weighted counts (in thousands) and weighted percentages of unknowns (with respect to the variables of interest in each table) are shown in Tables II and III
Unknowns with respect to the demographic characteristics used in each table are not shown due to small cell counts However unknowns for both family income and poverty status typically include a sizable number of persons regardless of the health outcome shown in the table Missing data on family income and personal earnings in NHIS have been imputed by NCHS analysts using multiple-imputation methodology Five ASCII data sets containing imputed values for the survey year and additional information about the imputed income files are available at http wwwcdcgovnchsnhishtm However

NOTE Standard as specified in Shalala DE HHS policy for changing the population standard for age adjusting death rates Memorandum from the Secretary August 261998
income and poverty estimates in the present report are based on reported income only and may differ from other measures that are based on imputed data (which were not available when this report was prepared) Because it is difficult to interpret the relationship between unknown income (or poverty status) and the health outcomes displayed in the tables counts of persons in these unknown categories are not shown in the tables Table IV shows
weighted counts (in thousands) and weighted percentages of persons in the US population with unknown values for family income and poverty status as well as for education and health insurance coverage
The lsquolsquoIncome and Assetsrsquorsquo section in the Family Core of the NHIS instrument allows respondents to report their family income in several ways Respondents are first asked to provide their familyrsquos total combined income before taxes
from all sources for the previous calendar year in a dollar amount (from $0 up to $999995) Any family income responses greater than $999995 are entered as $999995 From 1997 to 2006 respondents who did not know or refused to state an amount were then asked if their familyrsquos combined income in the previous calendar year was $20000 or more or less than $20000 If they again refused to answer or said that they did not know they were not

asked any more questions about their family income Respondents who repliedto the lsquolsquoabovebelow $20000rsquorsquo question were then handed a list of detailed income categories (top-coded at $75000 or more) and asked to select the interval containing their best estimate of their familyrsquos combined income
However starting with survey year 2007 the income follow-up questions were changed Modifications to the 1997ndash2006 income follow-up questions were explored because the 1997ndash2006 income follow-up questions had not
appreciably increased the analytic usability of family income data or of the poverty ratio in NHIS During the second quarter of 2006 in an attempt to decrease the frequency of unknown responses to family income and poverty status variables in NHIS a portion of the NHIS sample participated in a field test that evaluated an alternative way to ask respondents about family income Based on the results of the 2006 field test the NHIS family income questions were modified starting with the first quarter of 2007
In the 2010 NHIS respondents who did not know or refused to state an income amount were asked if their familyrsquos combined income in the previous calendar year was $50000 or more or less than $50000 If they again refused to answer or said that they did not know they were not asked any more questions about their familyrsquos income If the respondent indicated that the familyrsquos income was less than $50000 at most two additional follow-up questions were asked (a) if the family income was less than (or at least) $35000 and (b) if the family income was less than $35000 whether the family income was less than the poverty threshold The familyrsquos poverty threshold was prefilled by the computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) instrument using information on the familyrsquos size collected earlier in the interview
If the respondent initially indicated that the family income was $50000 or more at most two additional follow-up questions were asked (a) if the family income was less than (or at least) $100000 and (b) if the family income was less than $100000 whether the family income was less than (or at least) $75000
NHIS respondents thus fall into one of four categories with respect to income information (a) those who supplied a dollar amount (75 of the 2010 sample) (b) those who indicated a
Page 78 [ Series 10 No 251
range for their income by answering all of the applicable follow-up questions (17 of the sample) (c) those who indicated a less precise range for their familyrsquos income by only answering some of the applicable follow-up questions (3 of the sample) and (d) those who provided no income information (5 of the sample)(unweighted results)
Respondents who stated that their family income was below $35000 are included in the lsquolsquoLess than $35000rsquorsquo category under lsquolsquoFamily incomersquorsquo in the tables in this report along with respondents who gave an income range that was less than $35000 Likewise respondents who stated that their family income was at or above $35000 are included in the lsquolsquo$35000 or morersquorsquo category under lsquolsquoFamily incomersquorsquo along with those respondents who gave an income range that was $35000 or more Users will note that the counts for the detailed (indented) amounts do not sum to the count shown for lsquolsquo$35000 or morersquorsquo for this reason
A poverty status variable was created for all respondents Poverty status is the ratio of the family income in the previous calendar year to the appropriate 2009 poverty threshold (given the family size and number of children) defined by the US Census Bureau (16) Different poverty thresholds were used in creating the poverty ratios for respondents who provided a dollar amount and respondents who specified only an income category in the follow-up questions In a small number of cases (less than 05) there may be inconsistencies in the categorical assignment of families in the detailed poverty ratio variables reflecting the source of the income information For further information consult the 2010 NHIS Survey Description Document at ftpftpcdcgovpubHealth_Statistics NCHSDataset_DocumentationNHIS 2010srvydescpdf
Persons categorized as lsquolsquoPoorrsquorsquo had a ratio less than 10 that is their family incomes were strictly below the poverty threshold The lsquolsquoNear poorrsquorsquo category includes persons with family incomes of 100 to less than 200 of the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNot poorrsquorsquo persons have
family incomes that are 200 of the poverty threshold or greater The remaining groups of respondentsmdashthose who did not supply sufficient income information in the follow-up questions to categorize as a three-category poverty status variable as well as those who refused to provide any income informationmdashare by necessity coded as lsquolsquounknownrsquorsquo with respect to poverty status Family income information is missing for 5 of the US population and poverty status information is missing for 12 of the US population (weighted results) Five percent of the NHIS sample is missing information on income and 12 of the NHIS sample is missing information on poverty status (unweighted results)
NCHS analysts have ascertained that hospitalizations for newborns with a normal birth and for women with a normal delivery have been undercounted Therefore the estimates associated with hospitalizations reported here are smaller than would be obtained if all hospitalizations for births and deliveries were counted
Estimates of injury and poisoning episodes by their cause are derived from the International Classification of Diseases 9th Revision Clinical Modification (ICDndash9ndashCM) external cause codes (E codes) that describe the cause of the episode A person may experience multiple injury or poisoning episodes
Because of changes in the injury and poisoning section imputation of unknown dates of injury and poisoning episodes and the use of a 5-week reference period rather than a 3-month recall period to calculate annualized estimates used in this report estimates for 2004 and subsequent years are not comparable with estimates from prior years For further details about changes to the injury or poisoning questions and analytic methods effective with 2004 see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Frequencies presented in Tables 8 9 11 and 13 were annualized by multiplying the counts for the 5-week reference period by 104 to produce annualized frequencies Rates presented
in Tables 8 10 12 14 and XIndashXIII were calculated using the annualized frequencies
Hypothesis Tests Two-tailed tests of significance
were performed on all the comparisons mentioned in the lsquolsquoSelected Highlightsrsquorsquo section of this report (no adjustments were made for multiple comparisons) The test statistic used to determine statistical significance of the difference between two percentages was
|Xa ndash Xb|Z = Sa
2 + Sb 2 radic
where Xa and Xb are the two percentages being compared and Sa and Sb are the SUDAAN-calculated standard errors of those percentages The critical value used for two-sided tests at the 005 level was 196

Appendix II Definitions of Selected Terms
Sociodemographic Terms AgemdashThe age recorded for each
person is the age at his or her last birthday Age is recorded in single years and grouped using a variety of age categories depending on the purpose of the table
EducationmdashThe categories of education are based on the years of school completed or highest degree obtained for persons aged 25 years and over Only years completed in a school that advances a person toward an elementary or high school diploma General Educational Development high school equivalency diploma (GED) or college university or professional degree are included Education in other schools or home schooling is counted only if the credits are accepted in a regular school system
Family incomemdashEach member of a family is classified according to the total income of all family members Family members are all persons within the household related to each other by blood marriage cohabitation or adoption The income recorded is the total income received by all family members in the previous calendar year Income from all sources includes wages salaries military pay (when an Armed Forces member lives in the family) pensions government payments child support or alimony dividends and help from relatives Unrelated individuals living in the same household (eg roommates) are considered to be separate families and are classified according to their own incomes
Health insurance coveragemdash National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) respondents were asked about their health insurance coverage at the time of interview Respondents reported whether they were covered by private insurance (obtained through an employer or workplace purchased directly or purchased through a local or community program) Medicare Medigap (supplemental Medicare coverage) Medicaid Childrenrsquos Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Indian Health Service (IHS) military coverage (including VA
TRICARE or CHAMPndashVA) a state-sponsored health plan another government program or any single-service plans This information was used to form two health insurance hierarchies one for those under age 65 years and another for those aged 65 years and over
For persons under age 65 years a health insurance hierarchy of four mutually exclusive categories was developed (2223) Persons with more than one type of health insurance were assigned to the first appropriate category in the following hierarchy
Private coveragemdashIncludes persons who had any comprehensive private insurance plan (including health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations) These plans include those obtained through an employer purchased directly or purchased through local or community programs
MedicaidmdashIncludes persons who do not have private coverage but who have Medicaid or other state-sponsored health plans including CHIP
Other coveragemdashIncludes persons who do not have private coverage or Medicaid (or other public coverage) but who have any type of military health plan (includes VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) or Medicare This category also includes persons who are covered by other government programs
UninsuredmdashIncludes persons who have not indicated that they are covered at the time of the interview under private health insurance (from employer or workplace purchased directly or through a state local government or community program) Medicare Medicaid CHIP a state-sponsored health plan other government programs or military health plan (includes VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) This category also includes persons covered by IHS only or who only have a plan that pays for one type
of service such as accidents or dental care
For persons aged 65 years and over a health insurance hierarchy of five mutually exclusive categories was developed (24) Persons with more than one type of health insurance were assigned to the first appropriate category in the following hierarchy
Private coveragemdashIncludes older persons who have both Medicare and any comprehensive private health insurance plan (including health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations) These plans include those obtained through a current or former employer purchased directly or purchased through local or community programs This category also includes persons with private insurance only
Medicare and MedicaidmdashIncludes older persons who do not have any private coverage but who have both Medicare and Medicaid or other state-sponsored health plans including CHIP
Medicare onlymdashIncludes older persons who only have Medicare coverage
Other coveragemdashIncludes older persons who have not been previously classified as having private Medicare and Medicaid or Medicare-only coverage It includes older persons who have only Medicaid other state-sponsored health plans or CHIP as well as persons who have any type of military health plan (VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) with or without Medicare
UninsuredmdashIncludes persons who have not indicated that they are covered at the time of the interview under private health insurance (from employer or workplace purchased directly or obtained through a state local government or community program) Medicare Medicaid CHIP a state-sponsored health plan
Page 80 [ Series 10 No 251
other government programs or military health plan (VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) This category also includes persons who are covered by IHS only or who only have a plan that pays for one type of service such as accidents or dental care
For approximately 1 of respondents coverage status (ie whether they are insured or uninsured) is unknown Weighted frequencies indicate that approximately 077 of the population under 65 years of age and approximately 049 of the population aged 65 and over fall into this lsquolsquoUnknownrsquorsquo category
Hispanic or Latino origin and racemdashThese are two separate and distinct concepts Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin may be of any race Hispanic or Latino origin includes persons of Mexican Puerto Rican Cuban Central and South American or Spanish origin All tables show Mexican or Mexican-American persons as a subset of Hispanic or Latino Other groups are not shown for reasons of confidentiality or statistical reliability
In the 1997 and 1998 Summary Health Statistics reports (25ndash30) Hispanic ethnicity was shown as a part of raceethnicity which also included categories for lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic whitersquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic otherrsquorsquo (some tables showed Mexican American persons as a subset of Hispanic persons) Beginning in 1999 the categories for race were expanded to be consistent with the 1997 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) federal guidelines (12) and a distinction is now made between the characteristics of race and of Hispanic or Latino origin and race In addition to reporting estimates according to race estimates are reported for groups classified by Hispanic or Latino origin and race Hispanic or Latino origin and race is divided into lsquolsquoHispanic or Latinorsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latinorsquorsquo lsquolsquoHispanic or Latinorsquorsquo includes the subset lsquolsquoMexican or Mexican Americanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latinorsquorsquo is further divided into lsquolsquoWhite single racersquorsquo and lsquolsquoBlack or African American single racersquorsquo Persons in these categories

Place of residencemdashClassified in this report in three categories lsquolsquoLarge MSArsquorsquo (metropolitan statistical area) of 1 million or more persons lsquolsquoSmall MSArsquorsquo of less than 1 million persons and lsquolsquoNot in MSArsquorsquo Generally an MSA consists of a county or group of counties containing at least one urbanized area of 50000 or more population In addition to the county or counties that contain all or part of the urbanized area an MSA may contain adjacent counties that are economically and socially integrated with the central city The number of adjacent counties included in an MSA is not limited and boundaries may cross state lines
OMB defines MSAs according to published standards that are applied to US Census Bureau data The definition of an MSA is periodically reviewed For NHIS data for 1995ndash2005 the MSA definitions were based on the June 1993 MSA definitions that resulted from application of the 1990 OMB standards to the 1990 census Beginning in 2006 the June 2003 metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area definitions which resulted from application of the 2000 OMB standards to Census 2000 are used for National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data The 2000 criteria for designating MSAs differ from the 1990 criteria in substantial ways including simplification of the classification criteria of metropolitan statistical areas as well as the addition of a new categorymdashmicropolitan statistical areamdashfor some
nonmetropolitan counties These changes may lessen the comparability of estimates by place of residence in 2006ndash2010 with estimates from earlier years Those who compare NHIS frequencies across this transition in OMB standards need to recognize that some of the differences may be due to change in the definitions of metropolitan areas In the tables for this report place of residence is based on variables in the 2010 in-house Household data file indicating MSA status and MSA size These variables are collapsed into three categories based on Census 2000 population MSAs with a population of 1 million or more MSAs with a population of less than 1 million and areas that are not within an MSA Areas not in an MSA include both micropolitan areas and areas outside the core-based statistical areas For additional information about MSAs visit the US Census Bureau website at httpwwwcensusgovpopulationmetro
Poverty statusmdashBased on family income and family size using the US Census Bureaursquos poverty thresholds lsquolsquoPoorrsquorsquo persons are defined as below the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNear poorrsquorsquo persons have incomes of 100 to less than 200 of the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNot poorrsquorsquo persons have incomes that are 200 of the poverty threshold or greater See Appendix I for information on the measurement of family income and poverty status
RacemdashIn the 1997 and 1998 Summary Health Statistics reports (25ndash30) raceethnicity consisted of four categories lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic whitersquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic otherrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoHispanicrsquorsquo (some tables showed Mexican-American persons as a subset of Hispanic persons) Beginning in 1999 the categories for race were expanded to be consistent with the 1997 OMB federal guidelines (12) which now distinguish persons of one race from persons of two or more races The category lsquolsquoOne racersquorsquo refers to persons who indicated only a single race group and it includes subcategories for lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo lsquolsquoBlack or African Americanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoAmerican Indian or Alaska Nativersquorsquo lsquolsquoAsianrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanderrsquorsquo The category lsquolsquoTwo or more racesrsquorsquo refers to persons

who indicated more than one race group Data for multiple-race combinations can only be reported to the extent that the estimates meet the requirements for confidentiality and statistical reliability In this report three categories are shown for multiple-race individualsmdasha summary category and two multiple-race categories lsquolsquoBlack or African American and whitersquorsquo and lsquolsquoAmerican Indian or Alaska Native and whitersquorsquo Other combinations are not shown separately due to statistical unreliability as measured by the relative standard errors of the estimates (but they are included in the total for lsquolsquoTwo or more racesrsquorsquo)
Prior to 2003 lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was a separate race response on NHIS although it was not shown separately in the tables of the Summary Health Statistics reports Beginning with the 2003 NHIS however editing procedures were changed to maintain consistency with the US Census Bureau procedures for collecting and editing data on race and ethnicity As a result in cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was mentioned along with one or more OMB race groups the lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo response is dropped and the OMB race group information is retained on the NHIS data file In cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo is the only race response it is treated as missing and the race is imputed Although this change has resulted in an increase in the number of persons in the OMB race category lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo because this is numerically the largest group the change is not expected to have a substantial effect on the estimates in this report More information about the raceethnicity editing procedures used by the US Census Bureau can be found at httpwwwcensusgovpopestdata historicalfilesMRSF-01-US1pdf
The text in this report uses shorter versions of the current (1997) OMB race terms for conciseness and the tables use the complete terms For example the category lsquolsquoBlack or African American single racersquorsquo in the tables is referred to as lsquolsquoblackrsquorsquo in the text

Objectives This report presents both age-
adjusted and unadjusted health statistics from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States Estimates are disaggregated by sex age race Hispanic origin education family income poverty status health insurance coverage (where appropriate) place of residence and region of residence The topics covered are respondent-assessed health status limitations in activities special education or early intervention services injury and poisoning episodes health care access and utilization and health insurance coverage
Data Source NHIS is a household multistage
probability sample survey conducted annually by interviewers of the US Census Bureau for the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos National Center for Health Statistics In 2010 household interviews were completed for 89976 persons living in 34329 households reflecting a household response rate of 795
Selected Highlights Nearly 7 in 10 persons were in
excellent or very good health in 2010 About 38 million persons (12) were limited in their usual activities due to one or more chronic health conditions About 5 million persons (2) required the help of another person with activities of daily living and about 9 million persons (4) required the help of another person with instrumental activities of daily living About 7 of children received special education or early intervention services Among persons under age 65 years about 48 million (19) did not have any health insurance coverage The most common reason for lacking health insurance was cost followed by a change in employment

Summary Health Statistics for the US Population National Health Interview Survey 2010 by Patricia F Adams Michael E Martinez MPH MHSA Jackline L Vickerie MGA and Whitney K Kirzinger MPH Division of Health Interview Statistics
Introduction
This report is one in a set of reports summarizing data from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) NHIS is a multipurpose health survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) This report provides national estimates for a broad range of health measures for the US civilian noninstitutionalized population The other two reports in this set provide estimates of selected health measures for children (1) and for adults (2) These three volumes of descriptive statistics and highlights are published for each year of NHIS (3ndash5) and since 1997 have replaced the annual one-volume Current Estimates series (6)
Estimates are derived from the Family Core component of the annual NHIS Basic Module and are presented for respondent-assessed health status limitations in activities special education or early intervention services injury and poisoning episodes health care access and utilization and health insurance coverage These estimates are shown in Tables 1ndash25 for various subgroups of the population including those defined by sex age race Hispanic origin educational attainment for persons aged 25 years and over family income poverty status health insurance coverage place of residence and region of residence Estimates for other characteristics of special relevance are also included where appropriate Appendix I contains brief technical
otes on methods including information bout age adjustment and unknown alues (Tables IndashIV) Appendix II rovides definitions of terms used in his report and Appendix III contains ables of unadjusted (crude) estimates Tables VndashXIX)
NHIS has been an important source f information about health and health are in the United States since it was irst conducted in 1957 Because of the ver-changing nature of the US opulation the NHIS questionnaire has een revised every 10ndash15 years with he latest revision occurring in 1997 he first sample design changes were
ntroduced in 1973 and the first rocedural changes in 1975 (7) In 1982 he NHIS questionnaire and data reparation procedures of the survey ere extensively revised In some cases
he basic concepts of NHIS changed nd in other cases the concepts were easured in a different way [For a ore complete explanation of the 1982
hanges see lsquolsquoCurrent Estimates From he National Health Interview Survey nited States 1982rsquorsquo Appendix IV (8)]
n 1985 a new sample design for NHIS nd a different method of presenting ampling errors were introduced (910) n 1995 another change in the sample esign was introduced including the versampling of black and Hispanic ersons (11)
In 1997 the NHIS questionnaire as substantially revised and the means f administration was changed to omputer-assisted personal interviewing his new design improved the ability of HIS to provide important health
nformation However comparisons of

data from 1997 through 2010 with data from 1996 and earlier years should not be undertaken without a careful examination of the changes across survey instruments (6810)
In response to the changing demographics of the US population in 1997 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued new standards for collecting data on race and Hispanic or Latino origin (12) Most notably these standards allow respondents to the census and federal surveys to indicate more than one race group in answering questions on race Additionally the category lsquolsquoAsian or Pacific Islanderrsquorsquo is now split into two distinct categoriesmdash lsquolsquoAsianrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanderrsquorsquomdashfor data collection purposes Although NHIS had allowed respondents to choose more than one race group for many years the survey became fully compliant with the 1997 OMB race and ethnicity standards with the fielding of the 1999 NHIS The tables in the present report reflect the current (1997) standards The text in the present report uses shorter versions of the 1997 OMB race and Hispanic or Latino origin terms for conciseness but the tables use the complete terms For example the category lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latino black or African American single racersquorsquo in the tables is referred to as lsquolsquonon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo in the text Although the tables contain information for persons of two or more races the lsquolsquoSelected Highlightsrsquorsquo section focuses on persons reporting one race
The NHIS sample is redesigned and redrawn about every 10 years to better measure the changing US population and to meet new survey objectives A new sample design for NHIS was implemented in 2006 and continues in use The fundamental structure of this design is very similar to the previous 1995ndash2005 NHIS sample design including state-level stratification The current design reduces the NHIS sample size by about 13 compared with the 1995ndash2005 NHIS In 2006 and beyond oversampling of the black and Hispanic populations has been retained to allow for more precise estimation of health characteristics in these growing minority populations The current sample design also oversamples the Asian population
In addition the sample adult selection process has been revised so that when black Hispanic or Asian persons aged 65 and over are in the family they have an increased chance of being selected as the sample adult
Additionally beginning with the 2003 NHIS editing procedures were changed to maintain consistency with the US Census Bureau procedures for collecting and editing data on race and ethnicity As a result of these changes in cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo is mentioned along with one or more OMB race groups the lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo response is dropped and the OMB race group information is retained on the NHIS data file In cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was the only race response it is treated as missing and the race is imputed Although this change has resulted in an increase in the number of persons in the OMB race category lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo because this is numerically the largest group the change is not expected to have a substantial effect on the estimates in this report More information about the raceethnicity editing procedures used by the Census Bureau can be found at http wwwcensusgovpopestdatahistorical filesMRSF-01-US1pdf
Since 2004 imputation has been performed for injury and poisoning episodes for which the respondent did not provide sufficient information to determine a month day and year of occurrence Imputation was done so that for all episodes it would be possible to calculate a specific elapsed time in days between the date of the injury or poisoning episode and the date the injury or poisoning questions were asked For further details about changes to the injury and poisoning questions and analytic methods see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Methods
Data Source The main objective of NHIS is to
monitor the health of the US
population through the collection and analysis of data on a broad range of health topics The target population for NHIS is the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States Persons excluded are patients in long-term care institutions (eg nursing homes for the elderly hospitals for the chronically ill or physically or intellectually disabled and wards for abused or neglected children) correctional facilities (eg prisons or jails juvenile detention centers and halfway houses) active-duty Armed Forces personnel (although their civilian family members are included) and US nationals living in foreign countries Each year a representative sample of households across the country is selected for NHIS using a multistage cluster sample design Details on sample design can be found in lsquolsquoDesign and Estimation for the National Health Interview Survey 1995ndash2004rsquorsquo (11) Trained interviewers from the US Census Bureau visit each selected household and administer NHIS in person Detailed interviewer instructions can be found in the NHIS field representativersquos manual (14)
The annual NHIS questionnaire (also called the Basic Module or Core) consists of three main components the Family Core the Sample Adult Core and the Sample Child Core The Family Core the source of data for this report collects information for all family members regarding household composition and sociodemographic characteristics along with basic indicators of health status limitation in activities and utilization of health care services One responsible family member whose age is equal to or greater than the age of majority for a given state responds to questions about all family members in the Family Core In most states this age is 18 years but in Alabama and Nebraska it is 19 years and in Mississippi it is 21 years Although considerable effort is made to ensure accurate reporting the information from both proxies and self-respondents may be inaccurate because the respondent is unaware of relevant information has forgotten it does not wish to reveal it to an interviewer or does not understand the intended meaning of the question
Series 10 No 251 [ Page 3
The Sample Adult and Sample Child Cores obtain additional information on the health of one randomly selected adult (the lsquolsquosample adultrsquorsquo) and one randomly selected child (the lsquolsquosample childrsquorsquo) in the family Sample adults respond for themselves and a knowledgeable adult in the family provides proxy responses for the sample child In rare instances when the sample adult is mentally or physically incapable of responding proxy responses are accepted for this person
The interviewed sample for 2010 consisted of 34329 households which yielded 89976 persons in 35177 families The total noninterview rate was205 of which 129 was the result of respondent refusal and unacceptable partial interviews The remainder was primarily the result of failure to locate an eligible respondent at home after repeated calls (15)
Estimation Procedures The estimates presented in this
report are weighted using the Person Record Weight to provide national health estimates For each health measure both weighted frequencies and percentages (or rates) for all persons andfor various subgroups of the population are shown All counts are expressed in thousands Counts for persons of unknown status with respect to each health characteristic of interest are not shown separately in the tables nor are they included in the calculation of percentages (or rates) to make the presentation of the data more straightforward For all health measures in this report the weighted percentages with unknown values are typically small (generally 1 or less) and are shown in Appendix I (Tables IIndashIV) Nevertheless these unknown cases are included in the total population counts shown in selected tables Note that readers may obtain slightly different percentages than those shown in the tables if they elect to calculate percentages based on the frequencies and population counts presented in the tables
Additionally some of the sociodemographic variables used to delineate various subgroups of the population have unknown values For
most of these variables the percentage unknown is small However in the case of family income no income information is available for about 5 of respondents in the 2010 survey and about 20 of respondents provided only a broad range for their familyrsquos income (refer to the lsquolsquoIncome and Poverty Status Changesrsquorsquo section for more information) As a result poverty status which is based on family income has a high nonresponse rate (see Appendix I Table IV) (16) Missing data on family income and personal earnings in NHIS have been imputed by NCHS analysts using multiple-imputation methodology Five ASCII data sets containing imputed values for the survey year and additional information about the imputed income files can be found at http wwwcdcgovnchsnhishtm However income and poverty estimates in the present report are based on reported income only and may differ from other measures that are based on imputed income data (which were not available when this report was prepared) Health estimates for persons with unknown sociodemographic characteristics are not shown in the tables See Appendix I for more information on the extent of unknown data for income and poverty status
Injuries and Poisonings Since 2004 imputation has been
performed for injury and poisoning episodes for which the respondent did not provide sufficient information to determine a month day and year of occurrence Imputation was done so that for all episodes it was possible to calculate a specific elapsed time in days between the date of the injury or poisoning episode and the date the injury or poisoning questions were asked
From 1997 through 2003 injury and poisoning estimates were calculated using the full 3-month recall period to which the questions referred A study by Warner et al (17) showed that as the recall period increases the annualized number of injuries and poisonings reported decreases because respondents tend to forget less serious injuries and poisonings Based on recommendations
from this study beginning in 2004 injury and poisoning estimates have been calculated using only those injuries and poisonings that occurred 5 weeks or less before the date the injury and poisoning questions were asked
Because of changes in the injury and poisoning section imputation of unknown dates of injury and poisoning episodes and the use of a 5-week reference period rather than a 3-month recall period to calculate annualized estimates used in this report estimates for 2004 and subsequent years are not comparable with estimates from prior years For further details about changes to the injury and poisoning questions and analytic methods effective with 2004 see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Transition to the 2000 Census-based Weights
In Summary Health Statistics reports prior to 2003 the weights for the NHIS data were derived from 1990 census-based postcensal population estimates Beginning with the 2003 data NHIS transitioned to weights derived from the 2000 census-based population estimates The impact of this transition was assessed for the 2002 NHIS by comparing estimates for selected health characteristics using the 1990 census-based weights with those using the 2000 census-based weights Although the effect of new population controls on survey estimates differed by type of health characteristic the effect of this change on health characteristic rates was small but was somewhat larger for weighted frequencies (18)
Age Adjustment Beginning with the 2002 report
estimates are provided in two sets of tables Unless otherwise specified percentages and rates in the first set (Tables 1ndash25) were age adjusted using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population Age adjustment was used to permit comparison among various sociodemographic subgroups
Page 4 [ Series 10 No 251
that may have different age structures (1920) Unless otherwise noted the age groups used for age adjustment are the same age groups presented in the tables The age-adjusted estimates in this report may not match age-adjusted estimates for the same health characteristic in other reports if different age groups were used for age adjustment Appendix III provides Tables VndashXIX containing unadjusted estimates so that readers can compare current estimates with those published in the 1997ndash2001 Summary Health Statistics reports and can see the effects of age adjustment on the 2010 estimates (see Appendix I for details on age adjustment) Frequency tables have been removed from the set of unadjusted data tables in Appendix III to eliminate redundancy in the report
Sample Size Changes in NHIS
In 2002ndash2004 and 2006ndash2008 the size of the NHIS sample was reduced due to budget shortfalls Following a reduction of approximately 50 during JanuaryndashMarch 2009 newly available funding later in 2009 permitted an expansion during OctoberndashDecember to increase that quarterrsquos normal sample size by approximately 50 The net effect of the JanuaryndashMarch reduction and the OctoberndashDecember expansion was that the 2009 NHIS sample size was approximately the same as it would have been if the sample had been maintained at a normal level during the entire calendar year
In 2010 the NHIS sample was expanded by approximately 25 during JanuaryndashMarch There were no further expansions or reductions in the remaining months of that year resulting in a 2010 NHIS sample size that was slightly larger than the 2009 NHIS sample size
Income and Poverty Status Changes
Starting with the 2007 NHIS the income amount follow-up questions that had been in place since 1997 were replaced with a series of unfolding bracket questions This decision was
based on the relatively poor performance of the 1997ndash2006 versions of the follow-up income amount questions and on the results of a 2006 field test that compared unfolding bracket follow-up questions with the income amount follow-up questions used since 1997 For more information about the 2006 field test see Appendix I
The unfolding bracket method utilized a series of closed-ended income range questions (eg lsquolsquoIs it less than $50000rsquorsquo) for respondents who failed to provide the exact amount of the familyrsquos income The closed-ended income range questions were constructed so that each successive question established a smaller range for the amount of the familyrsquos income in the last calendar year
Based on results from the 2006 field test the unfolding bracket follow-up income questions performed better than the follow-up income questions used from 1997 to 2006 For example the percentage of unknown responses for a three-category poverty status variable was 17 using the income bracket follow-up questions compared with 31 using the income follow-up questions used from 1997 to 2006
Because of these positive results the unfolding bracket income follow-up questions were implemented during the first quarter of the 2007 NHIS Because of the differences in the income follow-up questions between 1997ndash2006 and 2007ndash2010 income and poverty status estimates from 2007ndash2010 may not be comparable with those from prior years
Data Limitations As mentioned previously the
redesigned NHIS is quite different in content format and mode of data collection from earlier versions of the survey These changes can make it complex to compare 1997ndash2010 NHIS estimates with those of earlier years The 2006ndash2010 NHIS is based on a different sample designmdashincluding the oversampling of the Asian population and of Hispanic black or Asian sample adults at least 65 years of age as well
as a permanent sample reduction of 13mdashcompared with the 1997ndash2005 NHIS The change in sample design should be considered when comparing estimates from the 2006ndash2010 NHIS with those from earlier years Beginning in 2003 NHIS uses weights derived from the 2000 census-based population estimates Those who compare NHIS frequencies across this transition (eg comparing 2005 with 2002) need to recognize that some of the observed differences may be due to the change in the population estimates Unadjusted percentage estimates shown in the Appendix III tables may be compared with those published in Summary Health Statistics reports of 1997ndash2001 which did not contain age-adjusted estimates Age-adjusted estimates in this report should not be compared with earlier unadjusted estimates unless it can be demonstrated that the effect of age adjustment is minimal
It is important to note that frequencies are underestimates due to item nonresponse and unknowns both of which are excluded from the tables (with the exception of the lsquolsquoAll personsrsquorsquo or lsquolsquoTotalrsquorsquo columns shown in each table) See Appendix I Tables IIndashIV for more information about the number of unknowns with respect to each health characteristic
Estimates should be interpreted only after reviewing Appendix I which contains important information about the methods used to obtain the estimates changes in the survey instrument and measurement issues that are currently being evaluated
Variance Estimation and Significance Testing
Because NHIS data are based on a sample of the population they are subject to sampling error Standard errors are reported to indicate the reliability of the estimates Estimates and standard errors were calculated using SUDAAN software (21) which takes into account the complex sampling design of NHIS The Taylor series linearization method was used for variance estimation in SUDAAN
Series 10 No 251 [ Page 5
Standard errors are shown for all rates and percentages in the tables (but not for the frequencies) Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 30 and less than or equal to 50 are indicated with an asterisk () and should be used with caution as they do not meet standards of reliability or precision Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 50 are indicated with a dagger (dagger) and are not shown The statistical significance of differences between point estimates was evaluated using two-sided t tests at the 005 level and assuming independence Terms such as lsquolsquogreater thanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoless thanrsquorsquo lsquolsquomore likelyrsquorsquo lsquolsquoless likelyrsquorsquo lsquolsquocompared withrsquorsquo or lsquolsquoopposed torsquorsquo indicate a significant difference between estimates whereas lsquolsquosimilarrsquorsquo lsquolsquono differencersquorsquo or lsquolsquocomparablersquorsquo indicate that the estimates are not significantly different A lack of commentary about any two estimates should not be interpreted to mean that a t test was performed and the difference was found to be not significant Furthermore these tests did not take into account multiple comparisons

Selected Highlights
This section presents brief bulleted summaries of the estimates shown in Tables 1ndash25 Estimated percentages and rates were age adjusted by the direct method using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population In most cases the age groups used to adjust estimated percentages and rates are the same age groups presented in the tables (see table notes for age-adjustment groups) All estimates were calculated using the Person Record Weight variable which is calibrated by NCHS staff to produce numbers consistent with the population estimates of the United States by age sex and raceethnicity based on projections from the 2000 US Census
Respondent-assessed Health Status (Tables 1 and 2) + Nearly 7 in 10 persons were in
excellent or very good health and fewer than 1 in 10 persons were in fair or poor health
+ Nearly 3 in 10 adults aged 75 years and over were in fair or poor health
+ White (38) and Asian (36) persons were more likely than black persons (28) to be in excellent health

Limitation in Usual Activities (Tables 3 and 4) + About 381 million persons (12)
were limited in their usual activities due to one or more chronic health conditions
+ Prevalence of limitation in usual activities due to one or more chronic conditions increased with age 7 of children under age 12 years had an activity limitation compared with 17 of adults aged 45ndash64 years and 43 of adults aged 75 years and over
+ Asian persons were the least likely to be limited in their usual activities due to one or more chronic conditions compared with white black American Indian or Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander persons
+ Persons with the least education and the lowest family incomes were the most likely to have an activity limitation
+ Persons under age 65 years who had private health insurance as well as those who were uninsured were less likely than persons who had Medicaid or some other type of health insurance to have an activity limitation
+ Persons aged 65 years and over with both Medicare and Medicaid were more likely to have an activity limitation than persons with private health insurance Medicare only or some other type of health care coverage
Limitation in Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (Table 5) + About 49 million adults (2)
required the help of another person with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as eating dressing or bathing and 91 million (4)
Page 6 [ Series 10 No 251
required help with instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) such as household chores or shopping
+ Among adults aged 75 years and over about 11 required the help of another person with ADLs and 19 required help with IADLs
+ Poor adults were about four times as likely as those who were not poor to require help with ADLs and IADLs
+ Persons under age 65 years who had private health insurance as well as those who were uninsured were less likely to need help with ADLs or IADLs than were persons who had Medicaid or some other type of health insurance
+ Among persons aged 65 years and over those who had both Medicaid and Medicare were more than twice as likely as those with private health insurance Medicare only or some other type of health care coverage to need help with ADLs and IADLs
Limitation in Work Activity (Table 6) + About 129 million adults aged
18ndash69 years (6) were unable to work due to health problems and 67 million (3) were limited in the kind or amount of work they could do because of their health
+ Persons aged 45ndash64 years and 65ndash69 years were about three times as likely to be unable to work due to health reasons as persons aged 18ndash44 years
+ About 2 of Asian adults aged 18ndash69 years were unable to work for health reasons compared with 6 of white adults and 9 of black adults
+ Persons with the least education and the lowest incomes were the most likely to be unable to work due to health problems
+ Persons under age 65 years who had private health insurance were less likely to be limited in their work activity than persons who had Medicaid or other types of health insurance
+ Poor non-Hispanic white persons (22) and poor non-Hispanic black
persons (21) were about three times as likely as poor Hispanic persons (8) to be unable to work
Special Education or Early Intervention Services (Table 7) + About 52 million children under
age 18 years were receiving special education or early intervention services in 2010
+ Overall 7 of US children received special education or early intervention services with boys being almost twice as likely as girls to receive such services
+ Children in poor families (9) and near-poor families (8) were more likely than children in not-poor families (6) to receive special education or early intervention services
+ Children covered by Medicaid were more likely than children with private health insurance or children without any health insurance to receive special education or early intervention services
+ Children in the Northeast (10) and Midwest (8) were more likely than children in the South (6) or West (6) to receive special education or early intervention services

Appendix I Technical Notes on Methods (including Tables IndashIV)
This report is one of a set of statistical reports published by the staff of the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) It is based on data contained in the 2010 in-house Person File that are derived from the Family Core component of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) All estimates were weighted using the Person Record Weight and the in-house data file The detailed sample design information was used to produce the most accurate variance estimates possible Note that estimates and variances may differ depending on the weight used
All data used in the report are also available from the NHIS public-use data files (15) with the exception of detailed information on race and Hispanic or Latino origin place of residence and sample design Detailed sample design variables place of residence variables and detailed information on race and Hispanic or Latino origin cannot be made available on the public-use files due to potential disclosure of confidential information
Standard errors produced using the SUDAAN statistical package (21) are shown for all percentages and rates in the tables Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 30 and less than or equal to 50 are indicated with an asterisk () and should be used with caution because they do not meet standards of reliability or precision Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 50 are indicated with a dagger (dagger) and are not shown The relative standard errors are calculated as follows
Relative standard error = (SEEst)100
where SE is the standard error of the estimate and Est is the estimate (percent rate or frequency) Because the reliability of frequencies and the reliability of the corresponding percentages (or rates) are determined independently it is possible for a particular frequency to be reliable and its associated percentage (or rate) to be unreliable and vice versa In most
instances however both estimates were reliable (or unreliable) simultaneously
Age Adjustment Unless otherwise specified the
percentages and rates shown in Tables 1ndash25 were age adjusted using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population provided by the US Census Bureau (1920) Age adjustment was used to allow comparison among various population subgroups that have different age structures This is particularly important for demographic characteristics such as race and ethnicity education and marital status It is also helpful in regard to other characteristics
Age-adjusted rates are calculated by the direct method as follows
n
r pi ii=1 Est = n
pii=1
where ri = rate in age group i in the population of interest
pi = standard population in age group i
n = total number of age groups used for age adjustment
and Est = the age-adjusted rate
The standard age distribution used for age adjusting estimates from NHIS is the projected 2000 US population as the standard population Table I shows the age distributions used in the DESCRIPT and RATIO procedures of SUDAAN to perform age adjustment Unless otherwise noted the age groups used to adjust estimates are the same age groups presented in the tables Using different age groups for age adjustment may result in slightly different estimates For this reason age-adjusted estimates for health characteristics in this report may not match age-adjusted estimates for the same health characteristics in other reports Unadjusted estimates were also calculated and are provided in Appendix III
For more information on the derivation of age-adjustment weights for use with NCHS survey data see Klein and Schoenborn (20) which is available through NCHS at httpwwwcdcgov nchsdatastatntstatnt20pdf The year 2000 projected US standard resident population is available through the US Census Bureau at http wwwcensusgovprod1popp25-1130 p251130pdf
Treatment of Unknown Values
In the tables all unknown values (ie respondents coded as lsquolsquorefusedrsquorsquo lsquolsquodonrsquot knowrsquorsquo or lsquolsquonot ascertainedrsquorsquo) with respect to each tablersquos variables of interest were removed from the denominators when calculating row percentages (or rates) In most instances the overall number of unknowns is quite small and would not have supported disaggregation by the demographic characteristics included in the table Because these unknowns are not shown separately users calculating their own percentages based on the frequencies and population counts presented in the tables may obtain slightly different results To aid understanding of the data weighted counts (in thousands) and weighted percentages of unknowns (with respect to the variables of interest in each table) are shown in Tables II and III
Unknowns with respect to the demographic characteristics used in each table are not shown due to small cell counts However unknowns for both family income and poverty status typically include a sizable number of persons regardless of the health outcome shown in the table Missing data on family income and personal earnings in NHIS have been imputed by NCHS analysts using multiple-imputation methodology Five ASCII data sets containing imputed values for the survey year and additional information about the imputed income files are available at http wwwcdcgovnchsnhishtm However

NOTE Standard as specified in Shalala DE HHS policy for changing the population standard for age adjusting death rates Memorandum from the Secretary August 261998
income and poverty estimates in the present report are based on reported income only and may differ from other measures that are based on imputed data (which were not available when this report was prepared) Because it is difficult to interpret the relationship between unknown income (or poverty status) and the health outcomes displayed in the tables counts of persons in these unknown categories are not shown in the tables Table IV shows
weighted counts (in thousands) and weighted percentages of persons in the US population with unknown values for family income and poverty status as well as for education and health insurance coverage
The lsquolsquoIncome and Assetsrsquorsquo section in the Family Core of the NHIS instrument allows respondents to report their family income in several ways Respondents are first asked to provide their familyrsquos total combined income before taxes
from all sources for the previous calendar year in a dollar amount (from $0 up to $999995) Any family income responses greater than $999995 are entered as $999995 From 1997 to 2006 respondents who did not know or refused to state an amount were then asked if their familyrsquos combined income in the previous calendar year was $20000 or more or less than $20000 If they again refused to answer or said that they did not know they were not

asked any more questions about their family income Respondents who repliedto the lsquolsquoabovebelow $20000rsquorsquo question were then handed a list of detailed income categories (top-coded at $75000 or more) and asked to select the interval containing their best estimate of their familyrsquos combined income
However starting with survey year 2007 the income follow-up questions were changed Modifications to the 1997ndash2006 income follow-up questions were explored because the 1997ndash2006 income follow-up questions had not
appreciably increased the analytic usability of family income data or of the poverty ratio in NHIS During the second quarter of 2006 in an attempt to decrease the frequency of unknown responses to family income and poverty status variables in NHIS a portion of the NHIS sample participated in a field test that evaluated an alternative way to ask respondents about family income Based on the results of the 2006 field test the NHIS family income questions were modified starting with the first quarter of 2007
In the 2010 NHIS respondents who did not know or refused to state an income amount were asked if their familyrsquos combined income in the previous calendar year was $50000 or more or less than $50000 If they again refused to answer or said that they did not know they were not asked any more questions about their familyrsquos income If the respondent indicated that the familyrsquos income was less than $50000 at most two additional follow-up questions were asked (a) if the family income was less than (or at least) $35000 and (b) if the family income was less than $35000 whether the family income was less than the poverty threshold The familyrsquos poverty threshold was prefilled by the computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) instrument using information on the familyrsquos size collected earlier in the interview
If the respondent initially indicated that the family income was $50000 or more at most two additional follow-up questions were asked (a) if the family income was less than (or at least) $100000 and (b) if the family income was less than $100000 whether the family income was less than (or at least) $75000
NHIS respondents thus fall into one of four categories with respect to income information (a) those who supplied a dollar amount (75 of the 2010 sample) (b) those who indicated a
Page 78 [ Series 10 No 251
range for their income by answering all of the applicable follow-up questions (17 of the sample) (c) those who indicated a less precise range for their familyrsquos income by only answering some of the applicable follow-up questions (3 of the sample) and (d) those who provided no income information (5 of the sample)(unweighted results)
Respondents who stated that their family income was below $35000 are included in the lsquolsquoLess than $35000rsquorsquo category under lsquolsquoFamily incomersquorsquo in the tables in this report along with respondents who gave an income range that was less than $35000 Likewise respondents who stated that their family income was at or above $35000 are included in the lsquolsquo$35000 or morersquorsquo category under lsquolsquoFamily incomersquorsquo along with those respondents who gave an income range that was $35000 or more Users will note that the counts for the detailed (indented) amounts do not sum to the count shown for lsquolsquo$35000 or morersquorsquo for this reason
A poverty status variable was created for all respondents Poverty status is the ratio of the family income in the previous calendar year to the appropriate 2009 poverty threshold (given the family size and number of children) defined by the US Census Bureau (16) Different poverty thresholds were used in creating the poverty ratios for respondents who provided a dollar amount and respondents who specified only an income category in the follow-up questions In a small number of cases (less than 05) there may be inconsistencies in the categorical assignment of families in the detailed poverty ratio variables reflecting the source of the income information For further information consult the 2010 NHIS Survey Description Document at ftpftpcdcgovpubHealth_Statistics NCHSDataset_DocumentationNHIS 2010srvydescpdf
Persons categorized as lsquolsquoPoorrsquorsquo had a ratio less than 10 that is their family incomes were strictly below the poverty threshold The lsquolsquoNear poorrsquorsquo category includes persons with family incomes of 100 to less than 200 of the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNot poorrsquorsquo persons have
family incomes that are 200 of the poverty threshold or greater The remaining groups of respondentsmdashthose who did not supply sufficient income information in the follow-up questions to categorize as a three-category poverty status variable as well as those who refused to provide any income informationmdashare by necessity coded as lsquolsquounknownrsquorsquo with respect to poverty status Family income information is missing for 5 of the US population and poverty status information is missing for 12 of the US population (weighted results) Five percent of the NHIS sample is missing information on income and 12 of the NHIS sample is missing information on poverty status (unweighted results)
NCHS analysts have ascertained that hospitalizations for newborns with a normal birth and for women with a normal delivery have been undercounted Therefore the estimates associated with hospitalizations reported here are smaller than would be obtained if all hospitalizations for births and deliveries were counted
Estimates of injury and poisoning episodes by their cause are derived from the International Classification of Diseases 9th Revision Clinical Modification (ICDndash9ndashCM) external cause codes (E codes) that describe the cause of the episode A person may experience multiple injury or poisoning episodes
Because of changes in the injury and poisoning section imputation of unknown dates of injury and poisoning episodes and the use of a 5-week reference period rather than a 3-month recall period to calculate annualized estimates used in this report estimates for 2004 and subsequent years are not comparable with estimates from prior years For further details about changes to the injury or poisoning questions and analytic methods effective with 2004 see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Frequencies presented in Tables 8 9 11 and 13 were annualized by multiplying the counts for the 5-week reference period by 104 to produce annualized frequencies Rates presented
in Tables 8 10 12 14 and XIndashXIII were calculated using the annualized frequencies
Hypothesis Tests Two-tailed tests of significance
were performed on all the comparisons mentioned in the lsquolsquoSelected Highlightsrsquorsquo section of this report (no adjustments were made for multiple comparisons) The test statistic used to determine statistical significance of the difference between two percentages was
|Xa ndash Xb|Z = Sa
2 + Sb 2 radic
where Xa and Xb are the two percentages being compared and Sa and Sb are the SUDAAN-calculated standard errors of those percentages The critical value used for two-sided tests at the 005 level was 196

Appendix II Definitions of Selected Terms
Sociodemographic Terms AgemdashThe age recorded for each
person is the age at his or her last birthday Age is recorded in single years and grouped using a variety of age categories depending on the purpose of the table
EducationmdashThe categories of education are based on the years of school completed or highest degree obtained for persons aged 25 years and over Only years completed in a school that advances a person toward an elementary or high school diploma General Educational Development high school equivalency diploma (GED) or college university or professional degree are included Education in other schools or home schooling is counted only if the credits are accepted in a regular school system
Family incomemdashEach member of a family is classified according to the total income of all family members Family members are all persons within the household related to each other by blood marriage cohabitation or adoption The income recorded is the total income received by all family members in the previous calendar year Income from all sources includes wages salaries military pay (when an Armed Forces member lives in the family) pensions government payments child support or alimony dividends and help from relatives Unrelated individuals living in the same household (eg roommates) are considered to be separate families and are classified according to their own incomes
Health insurance coveragemdash National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) respondents were asked about their health insurance coverage at the time of interview Respondents reported whether they were covered by private insurance (obtained through an employer or workplace purchased directly or purchased through a local or community program) Medicare Medigap (supplemental Medicare coverage) Medicaid Childrenrsquos Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Indian Health Service (IHS) military coverage (including VA
TRICARE or CHAMPndashVA) a state-sponsored health plan another government program or any single-service plans This information was used to form two health insurance hierarchies one for those under age 65 years and another for those aged 65 years and over
For persons under age 65 years a health insurance hierarchy of four mutually exclusive categories was developed (2223) Persons with more than one type of health insurance were assigned to the first appropriate category in the following hierarchy
Private coveragemdashIncludes persons who had any comprehensive private insurance plan (including health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations) These plans include those obtained through an employer purchased directly or purchased through local or community programs
MedicaidmdashIncludes persons who do not have private coverage but who have Medicaid or other state-sponsored health plans including CHIP
Other coveragemdashIncludes persons who do not have private coverage or Medicaid (or other public coverage) but who have any type of military health plan (includes VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) or Medicare This category also includes persons who are covered by other government programs
UninsuredmdashIncludes persons who have not indicated that they are covered at the time of the interview under private health insurance (from employer or workplace purchased directly or through a state local government or community program) Medicare Medicaid CHIP a state-sponsored health plan other government programs or military health plan (includes VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) This category also includes persons covered by IHS only or who only have a plan that pays for one type
of service such as accidents or dental care
For persons aged 65 years and over a health insurance hierarchy of five mutually exclusive categories was developed (24) Persons with more than one type of health insurance were assigned to the first appropriate category in the following hierarchy
Private coveragemdashIncludes older persons who have both Medicare and any comprehensive private health insurance plan (including health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations) These plans include those obtained through a current or former employer purchased directly or purchased through local or community programs This category also includes persons with private insurance only
Medicare and MedicaidmdashIncludes older persons who do not have any private coverage but who have both Medicare and Medicaid or other state-sponsored health plans including CHIP
Medicare onlymdashIncludes older persons who only have Medicare coverage
Other coveragemdashIncludes older persons who have not been previously classified as having private Medicare and Medicaid or Medicare-only coverage It includes older persons who have only Medicaid other state-sponsored health plans or CHIP as well as persons who have any type of military health plan (VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) with or without Medicare
UninsuredmdashIncludes persons who have not indicated that they are covered at the time of the interview under private health insurance (from employer or workplace purchased directly or obtained through a state local government or community program) Medicare Medicaid CHIP a state-sponsored health plan
Page 80 [ Series 10 No 251
other government programs or military health plan (VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) This category also includes persons who are covered by IHS only or who only have a plan that pays for one type of service such as accidents or dental care
For approximately 1 of respondents coverage status (ie whether they are insured or uninsured) is unknown Weighted frequencies indicate that approximately 077 of the population under 65 years of age and approximately 049 of the population aged 65 and over fall into this lsquolsquoUnknownrsquorsquo category
Hispanic or Latino origin and racemdashThese are two separate and distinct concepts Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin may be of any race Hispanic or Latino origin includes persons of Mexican Puerto Rican Cuban Central and South American or Spanish origin All tables show Mexican or Mexican-American persons as a subset of Hispanic or Latino Other groups are not shown for reasons of confidentiality or statistical reliability
In the 1997 and 1998 Summary Health Statistics reports (25ndash30) Hispanic ethnicity was shown as a part of raceethnicity which also included categories for lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic whitersquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic otherrsquorsquo (some tables showed Mexican American persons as a subset of Hispanic persons) Beginning in 1999 the categories for race were expanded to be consistent with the 1997 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) federal guidelines (12) and a distinction is now made between the characteristics of race and of Hispanic or Latino origin and race In addition to reporting estimates according to race estimates are reported for groups classified by Hispanic or Latino origin and race Hispanic or Latino origin and race is divided into lsquolsquoHispanic or Latinorsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latinorsquorsquo lsquolsquoHispanic or Latinorsquorsquo includes the subset lsquolsquoMexican or Mexican Americanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latinorsquorsquo is further divided into lsquolsquoWhite single racersquorsquo and lsquolsquoBlack or African American single racersquorsquo Persons in these categories

Place of residencemdashClassified in this report in three categories lsquolsquoLarge MSArsquorsquo (metropolitan statistical area) of 1 million or more persons lsquolsquoSmall MSArsquorsquo of less than 1 million persons and lsquolsquoNot in MSArsquorsquo Generally an MSA consists of a county or group of counties containing at least one urbanized area of 50000 or more population In addition to the county or counties that contain all or part of the urbanized area an MSA may contain adjacent counties that are economically and socially integrated with the central city The number of adjacent counties included in an MSA is not limited and boundaries may cross state lines
OMB defines MSAs according to published standards that are applied to US Census Bureau data The definition of an MSA is periodically reviewed For NHIS data for 1995ndash2005 the MSA definitions were based on the June 1993 MSA definitions that resulted from application of the 1990 OMB standards to the 1990 census Beginning in 2006 the June 2003 metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area definitions which resulted from application of the 2000 OMB standards to Census 2000 are used for National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data The 2000 criteria for designating MSAs differ from the 1990 criteria in substantial ways including simplification of the classification criteria of metropolitan statistical areas as well as the addition of a new categorymdashmicropolitan statistical areamdashfor some
nonmetropolitan counties These changes may lessen the comparability of estimates by place of residence in 2006ndash2010 with estimates from earlier years Those who compare NHIS frequencies across this transition in OMB standards need to recognize that some of the differences may be due to change in the definitions of metropolitan areas In the tables for this report place of residence is based on variables in the 2010 in-house Household data file indicating MSA status and MSA size These variables are collapsed into three categories based on Census 2000 population MSAs with a population of 1 million or more MSAs with a population of less than 1 million and areas that are not within an MSA Areas not in an MSA include both micropolitan areas and areas outside the core-based statistical areas For additional information about MSAs visit the US Census Bureau website at httpwwwcensusgovpopulationmetro
Poverty statusmdashBased on family income and family size using the US Census Bureaursquos poverty thresholds lsquolsquoPoorrsquorsquo persons are defined as below the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNear poorrsquorsquo persons have incomes of 100 to less than 200 of the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNot poorrsquorsquo persons have incomes that are 200 of the poverty threshold or greater See Appendix I for information on the measurement of family income and poverty status
RacemdashIn the 1997 and 1998 Summary Health Statistics reports (25ndash30) raceethnicity consisted of four categories lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic whitersquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic otherrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoHispanicrsquorsquo (some tables showed Mexican-American persons as a subset of Hispanic persons) Beginning in 1999 the categories for race were expanded to be consistent with the 1997 OMB federal guidelines (12) which now distinguish persons of one race from persons of two or more races The category lsquolsquoOne racersquorsquo refers to persons who indicated only a single race group and it includes subcategories for lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo lsquolsquoBlack or African Americanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoAmerican Indian or Alaska Nativersquorsquo lsquolsquoAsianrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanderrsquorsquo The category lsquolsquoTwo or more racesrsquorsquo refers to persons

who indicated more than one race group Data for multiple-race combinations can only be reported to the extent that the estimates meet the requirements for confidentiality and statistical reliability In this report three categories are shown for multiple-race individualsmdasha summary category and two multiple-race categories lsquolsquoBlack or African American and whitersquorsquo and lsquolsquoAmerican Indian or Alaska Native and whitersquorsquo Other combinations are not shown separately due to statistical unreliability as measured by the relative standard errors of the estimates (but they are included in the total for lsquolsquoTwo or more racesrsquorsquo)
Prior to 2003 lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was a separate race response on NHIS although it was not shown separately in the tables of the Summary Health Statistics reports Beginning with the 2003 NHIS however editing procedures were changed to maintain consistency with the US Census Bureau procedures for collecting and editing data on race and ethnicity As a result in cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was mentioned along with one or more OMB race groups the lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo response is dropped and the OMB race group information is retained on the NHIS data file In cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo is the only race response it is treated as missing and the race is imputed Although this change has resulted in an increase in the number of persons in the OMB race category lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo because this is numerically the largest group the change is not expected to have a substantial effect on the estimates in this report More information about the raceethnicity editing procedures used by the US Census Bureau can be found at httpwwwcensusgovpopestdata historicalfilesMRSF-01-US1pdf
The text in this report uses shorter versions of the current (1997) OMB race terms for conciseness and the tables use the complete terms For example the category lsquolsquoBlack or African American single racersquorsquo in the tables is referred to as lsquolsquoblackrsquorsquo in the text

Objectives This report presents both age-
adjusted and unadjusted health statistics from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) for the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States Estimates are disaggregated by sex age race Hispanic origin education family income poverty status health insurance coverage (where appropriate) place of residence and region of residence The topics covered are respondent-assessed health status limitations in activities special education or early intervention services injury and poisoning episodes health care access and utilization and health insurance coverage
Data Source NHIS is a household multistage
probability sample survey conducted annually by interviewers of the US Census Bureau for the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos National Center for Health Statistics In 2010 household interviews were completed for 89976 persons living in 34329 households reflecting a household response rate of 795
Selected Highlights Nearly 7 in 10 persons were in
excellent or very good health in 2010 About 38 million persons (12) were limited in their usual activities due to one or more chronic health conditions About 5 million persons (2) required the help of another person with activities of daily living and about 9 million persons (4) required the help of another person with instrumental activities of daily living About 7 of children received special education or early intervention services Among persons under age 65 years about 48 million (19) did not have any health insurance coverage The most common reason for lacking health insurance was cost followed by a change in employment

Summary Health Statistics for the US Population National Health Interview Survey 2010 by Patricia F Adams Michael E Martinez MPH MHSA Jackline L Vickerie MGA and Whitney K Kirzinger MPH Division of Health Interview Statistics
Introduction
This report is one in a set of reports summarizing data from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) NHIS is a multipurpose health survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) This report provides national estimates for a broad range of health measures for the US civilian noninstitutionalized population The other two reports in this set provide estimates of selected health measures for children (1) and for adults (2) These three volumes of descriptive statistics and highlights are published for each year of NHIS (3ndash5) and since 1997 have replaced the annual one-volume Current Estimates series (6)
Estimates are derived from the Family Core component of the annual NHIS Basic Module and are presented for respondent-assessed health status limitations in activities special education or early intervention services injury and poisoning episodes health care access and utilization and health insurance coverage These estimates are shown in Tables 1ndash25 for various subgroups of the population including those defined by sex age race Hispanic origin educational attainment for persons aged 25 years and over family income poverty status health insurance coverage place of residence and region of residence Estimates for other characteristics of special relevance are also included where appropriate Appendix I contains brief technical
otes on methods including information bout age adjustment and unknown alues (Tables IndashIV) Appendix II rovides definitions of terms used in his report and Appendix III contains ables of unadjusted (crude) estimates Tables VndashXIX)
NHIS has been an important source f information about health and health are in the United States since it was irst conducted in 1957 Because of the ver-changing nature of the US opulation the NHIS questionnaire has een revised every 10ndash15 years with he latest revision occurring in 1997 he first sample design changes were
ntroduced in 1973 and the first rocedural changes in 1975 (7) In 1982 he NHIS questionnaire and data reparation procedures of the survey ere extensively revised In some cases
he basic concepts of NHIS changed nd in other cases the concepts were easured in a different way [For a ore complete explanation of the 1982
hanges see lsquolsquoCurrent Estimates From he National Health Interview Survey nited States 1982rsquorsquo Appendix IV (8)]
n 1985 a new sample design for NHIS nd a different method of presenting ampling errors were introduced (910) n 1995 another change in the sample esign was introduced including the versampling of black and Hispanic ersons (11)
In 1997 the NHIS questionnaire as substantially revised and the means f administration was changed to omputer-assisted personal interviewing his new design improved the ability of HIS to provide important health
nformation However comparisons of

data from 1997 through 2010 with data from 1996 and earlier years should not be undertaken without a careful examination of the changes across survey instruments (6810)
In response to the changing demographics of the US population in 1997 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued new standards for collecting data on race and Hispanic or Latino origin (12) Most notably these standards allow respondents to the census and federal surveys to indicate more than one race group in answering questions on race Additionally the category lsquolsquoAsian or Pacific Islanderrsquorsquo is now split into two distinct categoriesmdash lsquolsquoAsianrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanderrsquorsquomdashfor data collection purposes Although NHIS had allowed respondents to choose more than one race group for many years the survey became fully compliant with the 1997 OMB race and ethnicity standards with the fielding of the 1999 NHIS The tables in the present report reflect the current (1997) standards The text in the present report uses shorter versions of the 1997 OMB race and Hispanic or Latino origin terms for conciseness but the tables use the complete terms For example the category lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latino black or African American single racersquorsquo in the tables is referred to as lsquolsquonon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo in the text Although the tables contain information for persons of two or more races the lsquolsquoSelected Highlightsrsquorsquo section focuses on persons reporting one race
The NHIS sample is redesigned and redrawn about every 10 years to better measure the changing US population and to meet new survey objectives A new sample design for NHIS was implemented in 2006 and continues in use The fundamental structure of this design is very similar to the previous 1995ndash2005 NHIS sample design including state-level stratification The current design reduces the NHIS sample size by about 13 compared with the 1995ndash2005 NHIS In 2006 and beyond oversampling of the black and Hispanic populations has been retained to allow for more precise estimation of health characteristics in these growing minority populations The current sample design also oversamples the Asian population
In addition the sample adult selection process has been revised so that when black Hispanic or Asian persons aged 65 and over are in the family they have an increased chance of being selected as the sample adult
Additionally beginning with the 2003 NHIS editing procedures were changed to maintain consistency with the US Census Bureau procedures for collecting and editing data on race and ethnicity As a result of these changes in cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo is mentioned along with one or more OMB race groups the lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo response is dropped and the OMB race group information is retained on the NHIS data file In cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was the only race response it is treated as missing and the race is imputed Although this change has resulted in an increase in the number of persons in the OMB race category lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo because this is numerically the largest group the change is not expected to have a substantial effect on the estimates in this report More information about the raceethnicity editing procedures used by the Census Bureau can be found at http wwwcensusgovpopestdatahistorical filesMRSF-01-US1pdf
Since 2004 imputation has been performed for injury and poisoning episodes for which the respondent did not provide sufficient information to determine a month day and year of occurrence Imputation was done so that for all episodes it would be possible to calculate a specific elapsed time in days between the date of the injury or poisoning episode and the date the injury or poisoning questions were asked For further details about changes to the injury and poisoning questions and analytic methods see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Methods
Data Source The main objective of NHIS is to
monitor the health of the US
population through the collection and analysis of data on a broad range of health topics The target population for NHIS is the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States Persons excluded are patients in long-term care institutions (eg nursing homes for the elderly hospitals for the chronically ill or physically or intellectually disabled and wards for abused or neglected children) correctional facilities (eg prisons or jails juvenile detention centers and halfway houses) active-duty Armed Forces personnel (although their civilian family members are included) and US nationals living in foreign countries Each year a representative sample of households across the country is selected for NHIS using a multistage cluster sample design Details on sample design can be found in lsquolsquoDesign and Estimation for the National Health Interview Survey 1995ndash2004rsquorsquo (11) Trained interviewers from the US Census Bureau visit each selected household and administer NHIS in person Detailed interviewer instructions can be found in the NHIS field representativersquos manual (14)
The annual NHIS questionnaire (also called the Basic Module or Core) consists of three main components the Family Core the Sample Adult Core and the Sample Child Core The Family Core the source of data for this report collects information for all family members regarding household composition and sociodemographic characteristics along with basic indicators of health status limitation in activities and utilization of health care services One responsible family member whose age is equal to or greater than the age of majority for a given state responds to questions about all family members in the Family Core In most states this age is 18 years but in Alabama and Nebraska it is 19 years and in Mississippi it is 21 years Although considerable effort is made to ensure accurate reporting the information from both proxies and self-respondents may be inaccurate because the respondent is unaware of relevant information has forgotten it does not wish to reveal it to an interviewer or does not understand the intended meaning of the question
Series 10 No 251 [ Page 3
The Sample Adult and Sample Child Cores obtain additional information on the health of one randomly selected adult (the lsquolsquosample adultrsquorsquo) and one randomly selected child (the lsquolsquosample childrsquorsquo) in the family Sample adults respond for themselves and a knowledgeable adult in the family provides proxy responses for the sample child In rare instances when the sample adult is mentally or physically incapable of responding proxy responses are accepted for this person
The interviewed sample for 2010 consisted of 34329 households which yielded 89976 persons in 35177 families The total noninterview rate was205 of which 129 was the result of respondent refusal and unacceptable partial interviews The remainder was primarily the result of failure to locate an eligible respondent at home after repeated calls (15)
Estimation Procedures The estimates presented in this
report are weighted using the Person Record Weight to provide national health estimates For each health measure both weighted frequencies and percentages (or rates) for all persons andfor various subgroups of the population are shown All counts are expressed in thousands Counts for persons of unknown status with respect to each health characteristic of interest are not shown separately in the tables nor are they included in the calculation of percentages (or rates) to make the presentation of the data more straightforward For all health measures in this report the weighted percentages with unknown values are typically small (generally 1 or less) and are shown in Appendix I (Tables IIndashIV) Nevertheless these unknown cases are included in the total population counts shown in selected tables Note that readers may obtain slightly different percentages than those shown in the tables if they elect to calculate percentages based on the frequencies and population counts presented in the tables
Additionally some of the sociodemographic variables used to delineate various subgroups of the population have unknown values For
most of these variables the percentage unknown is small However in the case of family income no income information is available for about 5 of respondents in the 2010 survey and about 20 of respondents provided only a broad range for their familyrsquos income (refer to the lsquolsquoIncome and Poverty Status Changesrsquorsquo section for more information) As a result poverty status which is based on family income has a high nonresponse rate (see Appendix I Table IV) (16) Missing data on family income and personal earnings in NHIS have been imputed by NCHS analysts using multiple-imputation methodology Five ASCII data sets containing imputed values for the survey year and additional information about the imputed income files can be found at http wwwcdcgovnchsnhishtm However income and poverty estimates in the present report are based on reported income only and may differ from other measures that are based on imputed income data (which were not available when this report was prepared) Health estimates for persons with unknown sociodemographic characteristics are not shown in the tables See Appendix I for more information on the extent of unknown data for income and poverty status
Injuries and Poisonings Since 2004 imputation has been
performed for injury and poisoning episodes for which the respondent did not provide sufficient information to determine a month day and year of occurrence Imputation was done so that for all episodes it was possible to calculate a specific elapsed time in days between the date of the injury or poisoning episode and the date the injury or poisoning questions were asked
From 1997 through 2003 injury and poisoning estimates were calculated using the full 3-month recall period to which the questions referred A study by Warner et al (17) showed that as the recall period increases the annualized number of injuries and poisonings reported decreases because respondents tend to forget less serious injuries and poisonings Based on recommendations
from this study beginning in 2004 injury and poisoning estimates have been calculated using only those injuries and poisonings that occurred 5 weeks or less before the date the injury and poisoning questions were asked
Because of changes in the injury and poisoning section imputation of unknown dates of injury and poisoning episodes and the use of a 5-week reference period rather than a 3-month recall period to calculate annualized estimates used in this report estimates for 2004 and subsequent years are not comparable with estimates from prior years For further details about changes to the injury and poisoning questions and analytic methods effective with 2004 see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Transition to the 2000 Census-based Weights
In Summary Health Statistics reports prior to 2003 the weights for the NHIS data were derived from 1990 census-based postcensal population estimates Beginning with the 2003 data NHIS transitioned to weights derived from the 2000 census-based population estimates The impact of this transition was assessed for the 2002 NHIS by comparing estimates for selected health characteristics using the 1990 census-based weights with those using the 2000 census-based weights Although the effect of new population controls on survey estimates differed by type of health characteristic the effect of this change on health characteristic rates was small but was somewhat larger for weighted frequencies (18)
Age Adjustment Beginning with the 2002 report
estimates are provided in two sets of tables Unless otherwise specified percentages and rates in the first set (Tables 1ndash25) were age adjusted using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population Age adjustment was used to permit comparison among various sociodemographic subgroups
Page 4 [ Series 10 No 251
that may have different age structures (1920) Unless otherwise noted the age groups used for age adjustment are the same age groups presented in the tables The age-adjusted estimates in this report may not match age-adjusted estimates for the same health characteristic in other reports if different age groups were used for age adjustment Appendix III provides Tables VndashXIX containing unadjusted estimates so that readers can compare current estimates with those published in the 1997ndash2001 Summary Health Statistics reports and can see the effects of age adjustment on the 2010 estimates (see Appendix I for details on age adjustment) Frequency tables have been removed from the set of unadjusted data tables in Appendix III to eliminate redundancy in the report
Sample Size Changes in NHIS
In 2002ndash2004 and 2006ndash2008 the size of the NHIS sample was reduced due to budget shortfalls Following a reduction of approximately 50 during JanuaryndashMarch 2009 newly available funding later in 2009 permitted an expansion during OctoberndashDecember to increase that quarterrsquos normal sample size by approximately 50 The net effect of the JanuaryndashMarch reduction and the OctoberndashDecember expansion was that the 2009 NHIS sample size was approximately the same as it would have been if the sample had been maintained at a normal level during the entire calendar year
In 2010 the NHIS sample was expanded by approximately 25 during JanuaryndashMarch There were no further expansions or reductions in the remaining months of that year resulting in a 2010 NHIS sample size that was slightly larger than the 2009 NHIS sample size
Income and Poverty Status Changes
Starting with the 2007 NHIS the income amount follow-up questions that had been in place since 1997 were replaced with a series of unfolding bracket questions This decision was
based on the relatively poor performance of the 1997ndash2006 versions of the follow-up income amount questions and on the results of a 2006 field test that compared unfolding bracket follow-up questions with the income amount follow-up questions used since 1997 For more information about the 2006 field test see Appendix I
The unfolding bracket method utilized a series of closed-ended income range questions (eg lsquolsquoIs it less than $50000rsquorsquo) for respondents who failed to provide the exact amount of the familyrsquos income The closed-ended income range questions were constructed so that each successive question established a smaller range for the amount of the familyrsquos income in the last calendar year
Based on results from the 2006 field test the unfolding bracket follow-up income questions performed better than the follow-up income questions used from 1997 to 2006 For example the percentage of unknown responses for a three-category poverty status variable was 17 using the income bracket follow-up questions compared with 31 using the income follow-up questions used from 1997 to 2006
Because of these positive results the unfolding bracket income follow-up questions were implemented during the first quarter of the 2007 NHIS Because of the differences in the income follow-up questions between 1997ndash2006 and 2007ndash2010 income and poverty status estimates from 2007ndash2010 may not be comparable with those from prior years
Data Limitations As mentioned previously the
redesigned NHIS is quite different in content format and mode of data collection from earlier versions of the survey These changes can make it complex to compare 1997ndash2010 NHIS estimates with those of earlier years The 2006ndash2010 NHIS is based on a different sample designmdashincluding the oversampling of the Asian population and of Hispanic black or Asian sample adults at least 65 years of age as well
as a permanent sample reduction of 13mdashcompared with the 1997ndash2005 NHIS The change in sample design should be considered when comparing estimates from the 2006ndash2010 NHIS with those from earlier years Beginning in 2003 NHIS uses weights derived from the 2000 census-based population estimates Those who compare NHIS frequencies across this transition (eg comparing 2005 with 2002) need to recognize that some of the observed differences may be due to the change in the population estimates Unadjusted percentage estimates shown in the Appendix III tables may be compared with those published in Summary Health Statistics reports of 1997ndash2001 which did not contain age-adjusted estimates Age-adjusted estimates in this report should not be compared with earlier unadjusted estimates unless it can be demonstrated that the effect of age adjustment is minimal
It is important to note that frequencies are underestimates due to item nonresponse and unknowns both of which are excluded from the tables (with the exception of the lsquolsquoAll personsrsquorsquo or lsquolsquoTotalrsquorsquo columns shown in each table) See Appendix I Tables IIndashIV for more information about the number of unknowns with respect to each health characteristic
Estimates should be interpreted only after reviewing Appendix I which contains important information about the methods used to obtain the estimates changes in the survey instrument and measurement issues that are currently being evaluated
Variance Estimation and Significance Testing
Because NHIS data are based on a sample of the population they are subject to sampling error Standard errors are reported to indicate the reliability of the estimates Estimates and standard errors were calculated using SUDAAN software (21) which takes into account the complex sampling design of NHIS The Taylor series linearization method was used for variance estimation in SUDAAN
Series 10 No 251 [ Page 5
Standard errors are shown for all rates and percentages in the tables (but not for the frequencies) Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 30 and less than or equal to 50 are indicated with an asterisk () and should be used with caution as they do not meet standards of reliability or precision Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 50 are indicated with a dagger (dagger) and are not shown The statistical significance of differences between point estimates was evaluated using two-sided t tests at the 005 level and assuming independence Terms such as lsquolsquogreater thanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoless thanrsquorsquo lsquolsquomore likelyrsquorsquo lsquolsquoless likelyrsquorsquo lsquolsquocompared withrsquorsquo or lsquolsquoopposed torsquorsquo indicate a significant difference between estimates whereas lsquolsquosimilarrsquorsquo lsquolsquono differencersquorsquo or lsquolsquocomparablersquorsquo indicate that the estimates are not significantly different A lack of commentary about any two estimates should not be interpreted to mean that a t test was performed and the difference was found to be not significant Furthermore these tests did not take into account multiple comparisons

Selected Highlights
This section presents brief bulleted summaries of the estimates shown in Tables 1ndash25 Estimated percentages and rates were age adjusted by the direct method using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population In most cases the age groups used to adjust estimated percentages and rates are the same age groups presented in the tables (see table notes for age-adjustment groups) All estimates were calculated using the Person Record Weight variable which is calibrated by NCHS staff to produce numbers consistent with the population estimates of the United States by age sex and raceethnicity based on projections from the 2000 US Census
Respondent-assessed Health Status (Tables 1 and 2) + Nearly 7 in 10 persons were in
excellent or very good health and fewer than 1 in 10 persons were in fair or poor health
+ Nearly 3 in 10 adults aged 75 years and over were in fair or poor health
+ White (38) and Asian (36) persons were more likely than black persons (28) to be in excellent health

Limitation in Usual Activities (Tables 3 and 4) + About 381 million persons (12)
were limited in their usual activities due to one or more chronic health conditions
+ Prevalence of limitation in usual activities due to one or more chronic conditions increased with age 7 of children under age 12 years had an activity limitation compared with 17 of adults aged 45ndash64 years and 43 of adults aged 75 years and over
+ Asian persons were the least likely to be limited in their usual activities due to one or more chronic conditions compared with white black American Indian or Alaska Native or Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander persons
+ Persons with the least education and the lowest family incomes were the most likely to have an activity limitation
+ Persons under age 65 years who had private health insurance as well as those who were uninsured were less likely than persons who had Medicaid or some other type of health insurance to have an activity limitation
+ Persons aged 65 years and over with both Medicare and Medicaid were more likely to have an activity limitation than persons with private health insurance Medicare only or some other type of health care coverage
Limitation in Activities of Daily Living and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (Table 5) + About 49 million adults (2)
required the help of another person with activities of daily living (ADLs) such as eating dressing or bathing and 91 million (4)
Page 6 [ Series 10 No 251
required help with instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) such as household chores or shopping
+ Among adults aged 75 years and over about 11 required the help of another person with ADLs and 19 required help with IADLs
+ Poor adults were about four times as likely as those who were not poor to require help with ADLs and IADLs
+ Persons under age 65 years who had private health insurance as well as those who were uninsured were less likely to need help with ADLs or IADLs than were persons who had Medicaid or some other type of health insurance
+ Among persons aged 65 years and over those who had both Medicaid and Medicare were more than twice as likely as those with private health insurance Medicare only or some other type of health care coverage to need help with ADLs and IADLs
Limitation in Work Activity (Table 6) + About 129 million adults aged
18ndash69 years (6) were unable to work due to health problems and 67 million (3) were limited in the kind or amount of work they could do because of their health
+ Persons aged 45ndash64 years and 65ndash69 years were about three times as likely to be unable to work due to health reasons as persons aged 18ndash44 years
+ About 2 of Asian adults aged 18ndash69 years were unable to work for health reasons compared with 6 of white adults and 9 of black adults
+ Persons with the least education and the lowest incomes were the most likely to be unable to work due to health problems
+ Persons under age 65 years who had private health insurance were less likely to be limited in their work activity than persons who had Medicaid or other types of health insurance
+ Poor non-Hispanic white persons (22) and poor non-Hispanic black
persons (21) were about three times as likely as poor Hispanic persons (8) to be unable to work
Special Education or Early Intervention Services (Table 7) + About 52 million children under
age 18 years were receiving special education or early intervention services in 2010
+ Overall 7 of US children received special education or early intervention services with boys being almost twice as likely as girls to receive such services
+ Children in poor families (9) and near-poor families (8) were more likely than children in not-poor families (6) to receive special education or early intervention services
+ Children covered by Medicaid were more likely than children with private health insurance or children without any health insurance to receive special education or early intervention services
+ Children in the Northeast (10) and Midwest (8) were more likely than children in the South (6) or West (6) to receive special education or early intervention services
+ Non-Hispanic white children who were poor or near poor were more likely than those who were not poor to receive special education or early intervention services
+ Poor Hispanic children (6) were less likely than poor non-Hispanic white children (14) to receive special education or early intervention services

Appendix I Technical Notes on Methods (including Tables IndashIV)
This report is one of a set of statistical reports published by the staff of the Centers for Disease Control and Preventionrsquos (CDC) National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) It is based on data contained in the 2010 in-house Person File that are derived from the Family Core component of the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) All estimates were weighted using the Person Record Weight and the in-house data file The detailed sample design information was used to produce the most accurate variance estimates possible Note that estimates and variances may differ depending on the weight used
All data used in the report are also available from the NHIS public-use data files (15) with the exception of detailed information on race and Hispanic or Latino origin place of residence and sample design Detailed sample design variables place of residence variables and detailed information on race and Hispanic or Latino origin cannot be made available on the public-use files due to potential disclosure of confidential information
Standard errors produced using the SUDAAN statistical package (21) are shown for all percentages and rates in the tables Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 30 and less than or equal to 50 are indicated with an asterisk () and should be used with caution because they do not meet standards of reliability or precision Estimates with a relative standard error greater than 50 are indicated with a dagger (dagger) and are not shown The relative standard errors are calculated as follows
Relative standard error = (SEEst)100
where SE is the standard error of the estimate and Est is the estimate (percent rate or frequency) Because the reliability of frequencies and the reliability of the corresponding percentages (or rates) are determined independently it is possible for a particular frequency to be reliable and its associated percentage (or rate) to be unreliable and vice versa In most
instances however both estimates were reliable (or unreliable) simultaneously
Age Adjustment Unless otherwise specified the
percentages and rates shown in Tables 1ndash25 were age adjusted using the projected 2000 US population as the standard population provided by the US Census Bureau (1920) Age adjustment was used to allow comparison among various population subgroups that have different age structures This is particularly important for demographic characteristics such as race and ethnicity education and marital status It is also helpful in regard to other characteristics
Age-adjusted rates are calculated by the direct method as follows
n
r pi ii=1 Est = n
pii=1
where ri = rate in age group i in the population of interest
pi = standard population in age group i
n = total number of age groups used for age adjustment
and Est = the age-adjusted rate
The standard age distribution used for age adjusting estimates from NHIS is the projected 2000 US population as the standard population Table I shows the age distributions used in the DESCRIPT and RATIO procedures of SUDAAN to perform age adjustment Unless otherwise noted the age groups used to adjust estimates are the same age groups presented in the tables Using different age groups for age adjustment may result in slightly different estimates For this reason age-adjusted estimates for health characteristics in this report may not match age-adjusted estimates for the same health characteristics in other reports Unadjusted estimates were also calculated and are provided in Appendix III
For more information on the derivation of age-adjustment weights for use with NCHS survey data see Klein and Schoenborn (20) which is available through NCHS at httpwwwcdcgov nchsdatastatntstatnt20pdf The year 2000 projected US standard resident population is available through the US Census Bureau at http wwwcensusgovprod1popp25-1130 p251130pdf
Treatment of Unknown Values
In the tables all unknown values (ie respondents coded as lsquolsquorefusedrsquorsquo lsquolsquodonrsquot knowrsquorsquo or lsquolsquonot ascertainedrsquorsquo) with respect to each tablersquos variables of interest were removed from the denominators when calculating row percentages (or rates) In most instances the overall number of unknowns is quite small and would not have supported disaggregation by the demographic characteristics included in the table Because these unknowns are not shown separately users calculating their own percentages based on the frequencies and population counts presented in the tables may obtain slightly different results To aid understanding of the data weighted counts (in thousands) and weighted percentages of unknowns (with respect to the variables of interest in each table) are shown in Tables II and III
Unknowns with respect to the demographic characteristics used in each table are not shown due to small cell counts However unknowns for both family income and poverty status typically include a sizable number of persons regardless of the health outcome shown in the table Missing data on family income and personal earnings in NHIS have been imputed by NCHS analysts using multiple-imputation methodology Five ASCII data sets containing imputed values for the survey year and additional information about the imputed income files are available at http wwwcdcgovnchsnhishtm However

NOTE Standard as specified in Shalala DE HHS policy for changing the population standard for age adjusting death rates Memorandum from the Secretary August 261998
income and poverty estimates in the present report are based on reported income only and may differ from other measures that are based on imputed data (which were not available when this report was prepared) Because it is difficult to interpret the relationship between unknown income (or poverty status) and the health outcomes displayed in the tables counts of persons in these unknown categories are not shown in the tables Table IV shows
weighted counts (in thousands) and weighted percentages of persons in the US population with unknown values for family income and poverty status as well as for education and health insurance coverage
The lsquolsquoIncome and Assetsrsquorsquo section in the Family Core of the NHIS instrument allows respondents to report their family income in several ways Respondents are first asked to provide their familyrsquos total combined income before taxes
from all sources for the previous calendar year in a dollar amount (from $0 up to $999995) Any family income responses greater than $999995 are entered as $999995 From 1997 to 2006 respondents who did not know or refused to state an amount were then asked if their familyrsquos combined income in the previous calendar year was $20000 or more or less than $20000 If they again refused to answer or said that they did not know they were not

asked any more questions about their family income Respondents who repliedto the lsquolsquoabovebelow $20000rsquorsquo question were then handed a list of detailed income categories (top-coded at $75000 or more) and asked to select the interval containing their best estimate of their familyrsquos combined income
However starting with survey year 2007 the income follow-up questions were changed Modifications to the 1997ndash2006 income follow-up questions were explored because the 1997ndash2006 income follow-up questions had not
appreciably increased the analytic usability of family income data or of the poverty ratio in NHIS During the second quarter of 2006 in an attempt to decrease the frequency of unknown responses to family income and poverty status variables in NHIS a portion of the NHIS sample participated in a field test that evaluated an alternative way to ask respondents about family income Based on the results of the 2006 field test the NHIS family income questions were modified starting with the first quarter of 2007
In the 2010 NHIS respondents who did not know or refused to state an income amount were asked if their familyrsquos combined income in the previous calendar year was $50000 or more or less than $50000 If they again refused to answer or said that they did not know they were not asked any more questions about their familyrsquos income If the respondent indicated that the familyrsquos income was less than $50000 at most two additional follow-up questions were asked (a) if the family income was less than (or at least) $35000 and (b) if the family income was less than $35000 whether the family income was less than the poverty threshold The familyrsquos poverty threshold was prefilled by the computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) instrument using information on the familyrsquos size collected earlier in the interview
If the respondent initially indicated that the family income was $50000 or more at most two additional follow-up questions were asked (a) if the family income was less than (or at least) $100000 and (b) if the family income was less than $100000 whether the family income was less than (or at least) $75000
NHIS respondents thus fall into one of four categories with respect to income information (a) those who supplied a dollar amount (75 of the 2010 sample) (b) those who indicated a
Page 78 [ Series 10 No 251
range for their income by answering all of the applicable follow-up questions (17 of the sample) (c) those who indicated a less precise range for their familyrsquos income by only answering some of the applicable follow-up questions (3 of the sample) and (d) those who provided no income information (5 of the sample)(unweighted results)
Respondents who stated that their family income was below $35000 are included in the lsquolsquoLess than $35000rsquorsquo category under lsquolsquoFamily incomersquorsquo in the tables in this report along with respondents who gave an income range that was less than $35000 Likewise respondents who stated that their family income was at or above $35000 are included in the lsquolsquo$35000 or morersquorsquo category under lsquolsquoFamily incomersquorsquo along with those respondents who gave an income range that was $35000 or more Users will note that the counts for the detailed (indented) amounts do not sum to the count shown for lsquolsquo$35000 or morersquorsquo for this reason
A poverty status variable was created for all respondents Poverty status is the ratio of the family income in the previous calendar year to the appropriate 2009 poverty threshold (given the family size and number of children) defined by the US Census Bureau (16) Different poverty thresholds were used in creating the poverty ratios for respondents who provided a dollar amount and respondents who specified only an income category in the follow-up questions In a small number of cases (less than 05) there may be inconsistencies in the categorical assignment of families in the detailed poverty ratio variables reflecting the source of the income information For further information consult the 2010 NHIS Survey Description Document at ftpftpcdcgovpubHealth_Statistics NCHSDataset_DocumentationNHIS 2010srvydescpdf
Persons categorized as lsquolsquoPoorrsquorsquo had a ratio less than 10 that is their family incomes were strictly below the poverty threshold The lsquolsquoNear poorrsquorsquo category includes persons with family incomes of 100 to less than 200 of the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNot poorrsquorsquo persons have
family incomes that are 200 of the poverty threshold or greater The remaining groups of respondentsmdashthose who did not supply sufficient income information in the follow-up questions to categorize as a three-category poverty status variable as well as those who refused to provide any income informationmdashare by necessity coded as lsquolsquounknownrsquorsquo with respect to poverty status Family income information is missing for 5 of the US population and poverty status information is missing for 12 of the US population (weighted results) Five percent of the NHIS sample is missing information on income and 12 of the NHIS sample is missing information on poverty status (unweighted results)
NCHS analysts have ascertained that hospitalizations for newborns with a normal birth and for women with a normal delivery have been undercounted Therefore the estimates associated with hospitalizations reported here are smaller than would be obtained if all hospitalizations for births and deliveries were counted
Estimates of injury and poisoning episodes by their cause are derived from the International Classification of Diseases 9th Revision Clinical Modification (ICDndash9ndashCM) external cause codes (E codes) that describe the cause of the episode A person may experience multiple injury or poisoning episodes
Because of changes in the injury and poisoning section imputation of unknown dates of injury and poisoning episodes and the use of a 5-week reference period rather than a 3-month recall period to calculate annualized estimates used in this report estimates for 2004 and subsequent years are not comparable with estimates from prior years For further details about changes to the injury or poisoning questions and analytic methods effective with 2004 see both the lsquolsquoMethodsrsquorsquo section and Appendix I of the 2004 Summary Health Statistics report for the US population (13)
Frequencies presented in Tables 8 9 11 and 13 were annualized by multiplying the counts for the 5-week reference period by 104 to produce annualized frequencies Rates presented
in Tables 8 10 12 14 and XIndashXIII were calculated using the annualized frequencies
Hypothesis Tests Two-tailed tests of significance
were performed on all the comparisons mentioned in the lsquolsquoSelected Highlightsrsquorsquo section of this report (no adjustments were made for multiple comparisons) The test statistic used to determine statistical significance of the difference between two percentages was
|Xa ndash Xb|Z = Sa
2 + Sb 2 radic
where Xa and Xb are the two percentages being compared and Sa and Sb are the SUDAAN-calculated standard errors of those percentages The critical value used for two-sided tests at the 005 level was 196

Appendix II Definitions of Selected Terms
Sociodemographic Terms AgemdashThe age recorded for each
person is the age at his or her last birthday Age is recorded in single years and grouped using a variety of age categories depending on the purpose of the table
EducationmdashThe categories of education are based on the years of school completed or highest degree obtained for persons aged 25 years and over Only years completed in a school that advances a person toward an elementary or high school diploma General Educational Development high school equivalency diploma (GED) or college university or professional degree are included Education in other schools or home schooling is counted only if the credits are accepted in a regular school system
Family incomemdashEach member of a family is classified according to the total income of all family members Family members are all persons within the household related to each other by blood marriage cohabitation or adoption The income recorded is the total income received by all family members in the previous calendar year Income from all sources includes wages salaries military pay (when an Armed Forces member lives in the family) pensions government payments child support or alimony dividends and help from relatives Unrelated individuals living in the same household (eg roommates) are considered to be separate families and are classified according to their own incomes
Health insurance coveragemdash National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) respondents were asked about their health insurance coverage at the time of interview Respondents reported whether they were covered by private insurance (obtained through an employer or workplace purchased directly or purchased through a local or community program) Medicare Medigap (supplemental Medicare coverage) Medicaid Childrenrsquos Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Indian Health Service (IHS) military coverage (including VA
TRICARE or CHAMPndashVA) a state-sponsored health plan another government program or any single-service plans This information was used to form two health insurance hierarchies one for those under age 65 years and another for those aged 65 years and over
For persons under age 65 years a health insurance hierarchy of four mutually exclusive categories was developed (2223) Persons with more than one type of health insurance were assigned to the first appropriate category in the following hierarchy
Private coveragemdashIncludes persons who had any comprehensive private insurance plan (including health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations) These plans include those obtained through an employer purchased directly or purchased through local or community programs
MedicaidmdashIncludes persons who do not have private coverage but who have Medicaid or other state-sponsored health plans including CHIP
Other coveragemdashIncludes persons who do not have private coverage or Medicaid (or other public coverage) but who have any type of military health plan (includes VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) or Medicare This category also includes persons who are covered by other government programs
UninsuredmdashIncludes persons who have not indicated that they are covered at the time of the interview under private health insurance (from employer or workplace purchased directly or through a state local government or community program) Medicare Medicaid CHIP a state-sponsored health plan other government programs or military health plan (includes VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) This category also includes persons covered by IHS only or who only have a plan that pays for one type
of service such as accidents or dental care
For persons aged 65 years and over a health insurance hierarchy of five mutually exclusive categories was developed (24) Persons with more than one type of health insurance were assigned to the first appropriate category in the following hierarchy
Private coveragemdashIncludes older persons who have both Medicare and any comprehensive private health insurance plan (including health maintenance organizations and preferred provider organizations) These plans include those obtained through a current or former employer purchased directly or purchased through local or community programs This category also includes persons with private insurance only
Medicare and MedicaidmdashIncludes older persons who do not have any private coverage but who have both Medicare and Medicaid or other state-sponsored health plans including CHIP
Medicare onlymdashIncludes older persons who only have Medicare coverage
Other coveragemdashIncludes older persons who have not been previously classified as having private Medicare and Medicaid or Medicare-only coverage It includes older persons who have only Medicaid other state-sponsored health plans or CHIP as well as persons who have any type of military health plan (VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) with or without Medicare
UninsuredmdashIncludes persons who have not indicated that they are covered at the time of the interview under private health insurance (from employer or workplace purchased directly or obtained through a state local government or community program) Medicare Medicaid CHIP a state-sponsored health plan
Page 80 [ Series 10 No 251
other government programs or military health plan (VA TRICARE and CHAMPndashVA) This category also includes persons who are covered by IHS only or who only have a plan that pays for one type of service such as accidents or dental care
For approximately 1 of respondents coverage status (ie whether they are insured or uninsured) is unknown Weighted frequencies indicate that approximately 077 of the population under 65 years of age and approximately 049 of the population aged 65 and over fall into this lsquolsquoUnknownrsquorsquo category
Hispanic or Latino origin and racemdashThese are two separate and distinct concepts Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin may be of any race Hispanic or Latino origin includes persons of Mexican Puerto Rican Cuban Central and South American or Spanish origin All tables show Mexican or Mexican-American persons as a subset of Hispanic or Latino Other groups are not shown for reasons of confidentiality or statistical reliability
In the 1997 and 1998 Summary Health Statistics reports (25ndash30) Hispanic ethnicity was shown as a part of raceethnicity which also included categories for lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic whitersquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic otherrsquorsquo (some tables showed Mexican American persons as a subset of Hispanic persons) Beginning in 1999 the categories for race were expanded to be consistent with the 1997 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) federal guidelines (12) and a distinction is now made between the characteristics of race and of Hispanic or Latino origin and race In addition to reporting estimates according to race estimates are reported for groups classified by Hispanic or Latino origin and race Hispanic or Latino origin and race is divided into lsquolsquoHispanic or Latinorsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latinorsquorsquo lsquolsquoHispanic or Latinorsquorsquo includes the subset lsquolsquoMexican or Mexican Americanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoNot Hispanic or Latinorsquorsquo is further divided into lsquolsquoWhite single racersquorsquo and lsquolsquoBlack or African American single racersquorsquo Persons in these categories

Place of residencemdashClassified in this report in three categories lsquolsquoLarge MSArsquorsquo (metropolitan statistical area) of 1 million or more persons lsquolsquoSmall MSArsquorsquo of less than 1 million persons and lsquolsquoNot in MSArsquorsquo Generally an MSA consists of a county or group of counties containing at least one urbanized area of 50000 or more population In addition to the county or counties that contain all or part of the urbanized area an MSA may contain adjacent counties that are economically and socially integrated with the central city The number of adjacent counties included in an MSA is not limited and boundaries may cross state lines
OMB defines MSAs according to published standards that are applied to US Census Bureau data The definition of an MSA is periodically reviewed For NHIS data for 1995ndash2005 the MSA definitions were based on the June 1993 MSA definitions that resulted from application of the 1990 OMB standards to the 1990 census Beginning in 2006 the June 2003 metropolitan and micropolitan statistical area definitions which resulted from application of the 2000 OMB standards to Census 2000 are used for National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) data The 2000 criteria for designating MSAs differ from the 1990 criteria in substantial ways including simplification of the classification criteria of metropolitan statistical areas as well as the addition of a new categorymdashmicropolitan statistical areamdashfor some
nonmetropolitan counties These changes may lessen the comparability of estimates by place of residence in 2006ndash2010 with estimates from earlier years Those who compare NHIS frequencies across this transition in OMB standards need to recognize that some of the differences may be due to change in the definitions of metropolitan areas In the tables for this report place of residence is based on variables in the 2010 in-house Household data file indicating MSA status and MSA size These variables are collapsed into three categories based on Census 2000 population MSAs with a population of 1 million or more MSAs with a population of less than 1 million and areas that are not within an MSA Areas not in an MSA include both micropolitan areas and areas outside the core-based statistical areas For additional information about MSAs visit the US Census Bureau website at httpwwwcensusgovpopulationmetro
Poverty statusmdashBased on family income and family size using the US Census Bureaursquos poverty thresholds lsquolsquoPoorrsquorsquo persons are defined as below the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNear poorrsquorsquo persons have incomes of 100 to less than 200 of the poverty threshold lsquolsquoNot poorrsquorsquo persons have incomes that are 200 of the poverty threshold or greater See Appendix I for information on the measurement of family income and poverty status
RacemdashIn the 1997 and 1998 Summary Health Statistics reports (25ndash30) raceethnicity consisted of four categories lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic whitersquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic blackrsquorsquo lsquolsquoNon-Hispanic otherrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoHispanicrsquorsquo (some tables showed Mexican-American persons as a subset of Hispanic persons) Beginning in 1999 the categories for race were expanded to be consistent with the 1997 OMB federal guidelines (12) which now distinguish persons of one race from persons of two or more races The category lsquolsquoOne racersquorsquo refers to persons who indicated only a single race group and it includes subcategories for lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo lsquolsquoBlack or African Americanrsquorsquo lsquolsquoAmerican Indian or Alaska Nativersquorsquo lsquolsquoAsianrsquorsquo and lsquolsquoNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanderrsquorsquo The category lsquolsquoTwo or more racesrsquorsquo refers to persons

who indicated more than one race group Data for multiple-race combinations can only be reported to the extent that the estimates meet the requirements for confidentiality and statistical reliability In this report three categories are shown for multiple-race individualsmdasha summary category and two multiple-race categories lsquolsquoBlack or African American and whitersquorsquo and lsquolsquoAmerican Indian or Alaska Native and whitersquorsquo Other combinations are not shown separately due to statistical unreliability as measured by the relative standard errors of the estimates (but they are included in the total for lsquolsquoTwo or more racesrsquorsquo)
Prior to 2003 lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was a separate race response on NHIS although it was not shown separately in the tables of the Summary Health Statistics reports Beginning with the 2003 NHIS however editing procedures were changed to maintain consistency with the US Census Bureau procedures for collecting and editing data on race and ethnicity As a result in cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo was mentioned along with one or more OMB race groups the lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo response is dropped and the OMB race group information is retained on the NHIS data file In cases where lsquolsquoother racersquorsquo is the only race response it is treated as missing and the race is imputed Although this change has resulted in an increase in the number of persons in the OMB race category lsquolsquoWhitersquorsquo because this is numerically the largest group the change is not expected to have a substantial effect on the estimates in this report More information about the raceethnicity editing procedures used by the US Census Bureau can be found at httpwwwcensusgovpopestdata historicalfilesMRSF-01-US1pdf
The text in this report uses shorter versions of the current (1997) OMB race terms for conciseness and the tables use the complete terms For example the category lsquolsquoBlack or African American single racersquorsquo in the tables is referred to as lsquolsquoblackrsquorsquo in the text
