CURRENT ESTIMATES

FROM THE HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY

Mary IL Wilder, Division of Hsalth Ini%rview Statistics

INTRODUCTION

National provisional estimates of the basic health variables collected in the 1970 Health h- terview Survey of the civilian, noninstitutional population are presented in this report. While the detailed tables in this report contain data by age and sex categories, later reports will present more detailed analysis of similar data by addi- tional selected demographic variables. The text tables present data for 1968 and 1969 as well as for 1970; however, the discussion is limited to changes occurring in 1970 since the previous re- port (Current Estimates, Series 10, No. 63) com- pares the 1968 and 1969 data.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE PERIOD

Acute Conditions

Approximately 203.4 acute conditions per 100 persons per year were reported in 1970; the rate of 200.8 for 1969 was comparable (table A). These rates were based on estimates of 406.5 million acute conditions in 1970 and 396.5 million acute conditions in 1969. Acute conditions are those ill- nesses and injuries which had their onset in the 2 weeks prior to the interview week and for which the person either sought medical attention or had 1 day or more Qfrestricted ac,tivi~. Although there was no marked increase in the overall incidence of acute conditions between the 2 years, the in- cidence of acute injuries increased from 25.5 in-

juries per 100 persons in 1969 to 29.6 injuries per 100 persons in 1970. Injuries among females were primarily responsible for this increase (table 1).

Generally, no change occurred in the rates of restricted activity and bed disability days asso- ciated with acute conditions from 1969 to 1970.

However, work-loss days for the currently em- ployed population increased from 347.7 days per 100 persons in 1969 to 378.0 days per persons in 1970. Most of this increase was among female workers who lost time as a result of acute res- piratory conditions and injuries. Children 6-16 years of age lost fewer days from school as the result of acute conditions in 1970 than in 1969 with the rate dropping from 490.6 days per 100 children to 426.8 days per 100 children.

The above-mentioned increase in the inci- dence of acute injuries was also reflected in a 13.4 percent increase in the number of persons injured with a rate of 28.0 persons injured per 100 persons in 1970. This increase was caused primarily by accidents occurring in places other than in the home, at work, or in moving motor vehicles. In general, for the “person injured”

measure a person is counted only once for each accident regardless of the number of injuries sus- tained, whereas each separate injury is counted in the incidence of acute injuries. Detailed data on acute conditions and associated disability days may be found in tables 1-8 and 10-12. Data on acute conditions are to be shown in more detail for July 1969-June 1970 in Series 10, No. 77.

Disability

Table B summarizes days of disability and limitation of activity for 1968, 1969, and 1970.

Disability refers to any temporary or long-term reduction of a person’s activity due to acute or chronic conditions. Restricted activity, bed dis- ability, work-loss days, and school-loss days are reported in the health interview in association with specific acute and chronic conditions. Since it is possible for a particular day of disability to be attributed to more than one condition, the person- day measure counts each day of disability only

once regardless of the number of conditions caus- ing disability on that day. A day of restricted ac- tivity is one on which a person substantially re- duces his normal activity for the whole day due to an illness or injury. Each day spent in bed for all or most of the day is also counted as a day of restricted activity, but the converse is not neces- sarily true. Similarly, each day lost from work or school is a day of restricted activity.

An estimated 14.6 days of restricted activity per person was reported in 1970. Each person had an average of 6.1 bed days in 1970. Approxi- mately 5.4 days were lost from work for each

currently employed person 17 years of age and over. While the overall rate for restricted activity, bed days, and work loss are comparable to the 1969 levels, females averaged more work loss in 1970 (5.9 days) than in 1969 (5.2 days). Chil- dren 6-16 years lost less time from school due to illness and injury in 1970 than in 1969;

the rate of school-loss days for 1970 was 4.9 days per child compared with 5.4 days in 1969.

This decrease was primarily among females.

Detailed data for person days of disability are shown in tables 16 and 17.

During 1970 approximately 23.6 million per- sons representing 11.8 percent of the civilian, noninstitutional population had some degree of limitation of activity as the result of one chronic condition or more. This estimate included 8.9 percent who were limited in their major activity (working, keeping house, or going to school). Limi- tation of activity is a measure of long-term re- duction in activity resulting from chronic disease or impairment and is defined as inability to carry on the usual activity for one’s age-sex group, such as working, keeping house, or going to school, restriction in the amount or kind of usual activity, or restriction in relation to other activities (civic, church, or recreation). The proportion of the population with limitation of activity was approximately the same in both 1970 and 1969. Detailed information on activity limitation is shown in table 9.

Utilization of Medical Services

Table C summarizes measures of health services collected during the latest 3 years of the Health Interview Survey for which data are available.

The number of discharges from short-stay hospitals was 13.3 per 100 persons reported in 1970. The rate of discharges in 1970 was about the same as that in 1969, and there was little change within age groups in the rate of hospitali- zation. The average length of stay remained about the same in 1970—an estimated 8.6 days for both sexes, 10.0 days for males, and 7.6 days for fe- males. However, among persons 65 years and over the average length of stay dropped from 14.9 days in 1969 to 13.1 days in 1970.

About 10.3 percent of the population had one hospital episode or more during the y&ar, the same rate as during the previous year. The majority of these persons had only one hospitalization dur- ing the year. The average number of days in the hospital for persons with one episode or more was 10.0 days. Females generally averaged fewer days than did males. Detailed data on hospitali- zations may be found in tables 13-15.

An estimated 303.6 million visits to dentists were made by the civilian, noninstitutional popu- lation in 1970. This was an average of 1.5 visits per person during the year. While the average number of dental visits per person remained the same as in 1969, the percent of the population who saw a dentist within a year prior to the inter- view increased from 45.0 percent to 46.8 percent in 1970. About 12.7 percent of the population had never seen a dentist, with the figures ranging from 34.5 for children under 17 to 0.9 for persons 45-64 years of age (table 19).

During 1970 an estimated 926.9 million visits were made to physicians. These included visits to doctors’ offices, hospital emergency rooms or outpatient clinics, and industrial and school clinics, home calls, and telephone calls but excluded physicians seen by a’ hospital in- patient. This was an average of 4.6 “visits per person during 1970 as compared with 4.3 visits per person in the previous year. As in earlier years, the number of visits per person generally increased with advancing age.

Approximately 71.9 percent of the population consulted a physician during the 12 months prior to interview in 1970—a slight increase from1969.

Proportionately more females saw physicians during the year preceding the time of interview than did males. Detailed physician visit data are shown in tables 20 and 21.

Seasonal Variation

Tables 22-24 and figures 1-3 show quarterly

estimates for incidence of acute conditions, per-

sons injured, and disability days. The patterns by

quarter for incidence of acute conditions and

rates of disability days are essentially the same

in 1970 as in the previous year. However, the

number of persons injured per 100 persons by

(12)

quarter was slightly higher for 1970 than for the corresponding quarter in 1969. This was due to the higher rate each quarter for females.

CONTENTS OF 1971 QUESTIONNAIRE 1 limi - Data on incidence of acute conditions,

tation of activity, persons injured, hospitalization, disability days, dental visits, and physician visits are now collected yearly in the Health Interview Survey and are shown in this publication. A list

of the publications containing detailed data on these items for previous years is shown at the end of the text of this publication. Periodic reports up- date data on these health topics and selected unpublished data are also available upon request.

Chronic condition data resulting in activity limitation is collected in the survey each year.

Procedure used to collect information on the prevalence of chronic respiratory conditions is similar to that used for the digestive system in 1968 and the musculoskeletal system in 1969 (see question 16 of questionnaire in appendix III).

Other new data collected on the 1970 ques- tionnaire included information on the smoking experience of persons 17 years of age and over, data on health insurance and Medicare coverage (first and fourth quarters of 1970), and the volume of medical and dental X-ray visits, including place of visit and area of body exposure (second and third quarter). Again, recent publications contain- ing detailed data on these supplementary items are shown at the end of the text of this publication.

Demographic items collected during 1970, in addition to age and sex shown in this publication, are race, family relationship, marital status, usual activity status, education, veteran status, current employment status, industry and occupa- tion, family income, and place of residence (metropolitan or nonmetropolitan area and geo- graphic region).

1The present report is the second in this series to use the Eighth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases, Adapted (lCDA), in the classification of conditions resulting in illneis, hospitalization, physician visits, etc. This provides data comparable to that collected in 1969, and as long as broad conditions group are used the categories are generally comparable to earlier years. For a discussion of the major changes in the ICDA and the impact on Health Interview Survey data, see appendix 111, Series 10, No. 69.

SOURCE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA

The information from the Health Interview Survey presented in this report is based on data collected in a continuing nationwide survey con- ducted by household interview. Each week a probability sample of households is interviewed by trained personnel of the U.S. Bureau of the Census to obtain information about the health and other characteristics of each member of the household in the civilian, noninstitutional popula- tion of the United States. During 1970 data were collected for 45 of the 52-week period. The first quarter contained a sample reduction of 7 weeks due to budgetary restrictions, whereas the re- maining quarters each contained the full 13 weeks.

During the 45 weeks in 1970 the sample was com- posed of approximately 37,000 households con- taining about 116,000 persons living at the time of the interview. Comparability with previous annual estimates are not affected by the reduced sample since the weighting procedure employed by the Health Interview Survey adjusts for the missing weeks, although the sampling errors are slightly higher in 1970 (see statement on adjustment of relative sampling error in appendix I).

A description of the design of the survey, the methods used in estimation, and general quali- fications of the data obtained from surveys is presented in appendix I. Since the estimates shown in this report are based on a sample of the population, they are subject to sampling er- ror. Therefore particular attention should be paid to the section entitled “Reliability of Estimates.”

Sampling errors for most of the estimates are of relatively low magnitude. However, where an estimated number or the numerator or denomi- nator of a rate or percentage is small, the samp- ling error may be high. Charts of relative samp- ling errors and instructions for their use are shown in appendix I.

Certain terms used in this report are defined in appendix II. Some of the terms have specified meanings for the purpose of the survey. For example, estimates of the incidence of acute conditions include, with certain exceptions, those conditions which had started within 2 weeks and which involved either medical attention or re- stricted activity. The exceptions, which are listed

5

(13)

in appendix H, are certain conditions such as heart trouble and diabetes which are always con- sidered to be chronic 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 dur- ing the 2-week period prior to the week of inter- view and include all such days reported even if the acute condition causing the disability had its onset prior to the 2-week period. Disability days associated wtih acute conditions are recorded on a condition basis. If an individual reports more than one illness or injury on the same day, the count of disability days will exceed the actual number of days disabled, i.e., person-days of disability.

Appendix III contains the questionnaire used in the interview. Also shown are the cards used by the interviewer in asking certain questions.

The estimates contained in this report are provisional.
