CURRENT ESTIMATES
FROM THE HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY
Mary Lou Bauer, DiL*ision of Health Iiztewiew Statistics
HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE PERIOD
Acute Conditions
From July 1965 through June 1966, an esti- mated 404.4 million acute illnesses and injuries required restriction of usual activity or medical attention among the civilian, noninstitutional popu- lation of the United States (tables 1 and 4). This estimated incidence represents an average of 212.0 acute conditions per 100 persons per year, which is about the same as the incidence rate of 212.1 conditions in the preceding year.
Despite this stability in the overall rate, the incidence of specific conditions did change. The major variation was an 8.2 percent increase in the number of respiratory conditions per 100 persons, reflecting primarily the higher incidence of illnesses reported as influenza. The incidence of influenza (without digestive manifestations) was 39.3 per 100 persons for the 12-month period ending June 1966, a substantial increase from the preceding year’s rate of 30.7 per 100 persons.
AS shown in figure 1, the incidence of respiratory conditions was higher throughout the 12-month period, with peak incidence, as usual, in the January-March quarter. From December 1965 through May 1966, influenza (type A and/or B) was identified in 49 of the 50 States and it was reported to be widespread in half of them from February to April.l
Other notable changes in the incidence of acute conditions were the continued decline in the inci-
l~om~”nj~~b[e Disease center: influenza-Rc.spiratory flis-
dence of infective and parasitic diseases and a decrease in the incidence of injuries from a rate of 29.9 injuries per 100 persons to that of 25.4 for the current year. The drop in reporting of injuries has not been explained despite extensive investigation of the data and their processing.
There were no significant processing errors that would explain the differences. Even though there was a substantial change in the format of the questionnaire used for the collection of data during the period July 1965-June 1966, it was not felt that the format change would be wholIy responsible for the discrepancy. The data on injuries are therefore published as the Health Interview Sur- vey’s best estimates at the present time.
Acute illness and injury caused an average of S.2 days of restricted activity per person, including 3.7 days in bed (tables 2, 3, 5, and 6).
In addition, acute conditions were responsible for 4.6 days lost from school per child 6 to 16 years of age (table 7), and 3.7 days lost from work for each currently employed person (table 8). On all of these measures of disability, females had higher rates than males.
Persons With Chronic Conditions
An estimated 93.7 million persons in the civilian, noninstitutional population reported one or more chronic diseases or impairments (table 9). These persons constitute 49.1 percent of the population, contrasted with
46.3 percent who re-
ported chronic conditions for the preceding year.The increase occurred in all age groups and for both sexes, but the change was greater among
ditions than did males at all ages except under 17 years. For both sexes the percentage of per- sons with one or more chronic conditions in- creased with age, reaching a maximum at 65 years and older of 86.5 percent for females and 83.5 percent for males.
Persons Iniured
Approximately 45. I million persons, or a rate of 23.7 persons injured per 100 population, reported injuries during the period .July 1965 through June 1966 (table 10). This rate was ap- preciably lower than the rates of the past 2 years which were, respectively, 28.8 and 28.6 per 10CI persons. During the current year about 53.3 per- cent of the injured persons restricted their activ- ities for 1 or more days. About 39.4 percent of the persons injured had both medical attention and days of restricted activity; another 46.7 percent were only medically attended with no restriction of activity. Approximately 22.3 percent spent 1 or more days in bed as a result of injury.
The persons injured may be classified in one or more of four classes of accidents: moving motor vehicle, while at work, home, and other. The acci- dent is classified as “other” if the occurrence of injury cannot be classified in one or more of the first three classes of accident; it would include, for example, accidents occurring in public places,
such as department stores or public sidewalks or playgrounds, and accidents occurring at school,
The four classes of accidents were differ- entially
affected by the overall decline in reported injuries. Rates of home and other injuries showed the greatest decreases, while the rates for injuries from moving motor vehicles and at work actually increased slightly.For maIes, the rates of restricted activity resulting from injuries increased for all classes of accidents (table 11). The increases in restricted activity for injuries at work and from moving motor vehicles were quite substantial.
Females
showed no change in rates for these two classes of accidents, but they had much lower rates of restricted activity associated with home and other accidents.Increases in bed disability from injuries were considerably smaller than the changes in restricted activity and were confined to injuries at work and moving motor vehicle accidents (table 12). However, both sexes were affected. The in-
creased rates of both restricted activity and bed disability occurred primarily among the working population from 17 through 64 years of age.
By class of accident the percent of persons with short-term disability was as follows:
Actiuity - Bed-
‘restricting disabling
Moving motor vehicle-- 71.8 44.0
While at work --- 50.1 20.3
Home --- 49.9 17.8
Other --- 55.4 23.9
Only two of the above figures represent sizable changes from the preceding year’s estimates;
restricted activity from moving motor vehicles is considerably higher and restricted activity from “other” accidents much lower.
Hospital Discharges and Length of Stay
The estimated number of discharges from short-stay hospitals for hospitalizations of one or
more nights was 24.2 million, representing
an average of 12.7 discharges per 100 persons for the period July 1965-June 1966 (table 13).The rates by age and sex were essentially the same as those of the preceding year. These data are derived from
health interviews. They will
differ from those published in the report on hospital discharges (Series 10, No. 30) since they exclude hospitalization of decedents. They will differ also from data reported by the Hos- pital Discharge Survey because of differences in population covered and types of hospitals included.‘l%e average length of stay per discharge was 8.1 days. The
average stay for males was about one-third longer than that for females:
9.6 days contrasted
with 7.1. Males stayed longer than females at all ages except under 17 years.Disability Days
Disability days for the period ending June 1966 remained at about the same level as they had been the preceding year. From all illnesses and injuries, the population averaged 15.6 days
of restricted activity per person per year, in- cluding 6.3 days in bed (table 14). The currently employed population experienced 5.8 work710ss days per person, and children aged 6
to 16averaged 5.2 days lost from school (table 15).
Corrective Lenses
About 48.1 percent of the total population 3 years of age and older had corrective lenses (eyeglasses, contact lenses, or both). Almost all of the persons reporting corrective lenses had eyeglasses. A very small proportion ( 1.0 percent) had contact lenses either as their only visual aid or in addition to eyeglasses (table 16).
In each age category the prevalence of cor- rective lenses was higher among females than males. The least differential occurred in the 3-16-year age group. The majority of both sexes 45 years and over’ had corrective lenses: 84.0 percent of the males and 91.5 percent of the fe- males.
Seasonal Variation
Tables 18-20 and figures 1-3 present quar- terly trends of three health topics: acute condi- tions, persons injured, and person-disability days.
SOURCE AND LIMITATIONS OF DATA
The information contained in this publication is derived from household interviews conducted by the Health Interview Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of the Census in a probability sample of the civilian, noninstitutional population of the United States. The sample is designed so that interviews are conducted during every week of the year. During the 52-week period from July 1965 through June 1966, the sample was composed of approximately 42,000 households containing about 134,000 persons living at the time of the interview.
A description of the design of the survey, the methods used in estimation, and general qualifi- cations of the data obtained from surveys is presented in Appendix I. Since the estimates shown in this report are based on a sampIe of
fore, ptmticular attention should be paid to the section entitled “Reliability of Estimates. ” Sam- pling errors for most of the estimates are of relatively low magnitude. However, where an estimated number or the numerator or de- nominator of a rate or percentage is small, the
sampling error may be high. Charts of relative sampling errors and instructions for their use wre shown in Appendix L
Certain terms used in this report are defined in Appendix H. Some of the terms have special- ized meanings for the purpose of the survey. For example, estimates of the incidence of acute con- ditions include, with certain exceptions, those con- ditions which had started within 2 weeks and which involved either medical attention or restricted ac- tivity. The exceptions, which are listed in Appendix II, are certain conditions such as heart trouble and diabetes which are always considered to be chron- ic, regardless of duration or onset.
Estimates of the number of disability days associated with acute conditions are derived from the number of days of disability experienced during the 2-week period prior to the week of interview and include all such days reported, even if the acute condition causing the disability had its onset prior to the 2-week period. Dis- ability days associated with acute conditions are recorded on a condition basis. If an individual has more than one acute condition on the same day, the count of disability days will exceed the actual number of days disabled, i.e., person days of disability.
The questionnaire used during the 12 months of data collection is illustrated in Appendix 111. Information about acute conditions, persons with one or more chronic conditions, persons injured, and disability days was derived from the responses to the illness-recall questions (ques- tions 6-12 on the worksheet) and the condition pages. Information about hospital discharges was obtained from the hospital page, and data on cor- rective lenses from the eyeglass page.
Annual estimates shown were obtained by
consolidating data tabulated on a quarterly basis
and, due to rounding of numbers, may, in some
instances, differ slightly from those prepared
from annual tabulations to be released at a later
date. In order to release provisional data quickly,
