INTRODUCTION

This report is the first of the Current Estimates series to present data entirely from interviews using the “person approach. ” Prior to July 1967, data for this series of reports were obtained from interviews using the “condition approach.” During this period July 1967-June 1968, a split sample methodology was used, in which one-half of the sample population was interviewed using the “condition approach,” and the other half using the “person approach.” For a brief discussion of these two versions of the questionnaire design and the rationale for changes made in the collection procedure; see Appendix III, Series 10, No. 52. A forthcoming Series 2 report will present estimates based on the data coIlected during the year in which the split- sample was used and will discuss some of the implications of the change in data-collection procedures.

The present report is also the first of this series to utilize the Eighth Revision of the International Classification of Diseases, Adapted (ICDA), in the classification of acute conditions.

A more detailed discussion of the impact of this classification scheme on acute conditions data will be presented in a forthcoming report on acute conditions for the period July 1968-June 1969.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE PERIOD

Acute Conditions

During the calendar year 1969, an estimated

396.5 million aqute conditions were reported

among the civilian, noninstitutiona~ population

(table 1). The corresponding incidence rate of

200.8 conditions per 100 persons is about the

same as the 204.3 conditions per 100 persons

during calendar year 1968 when 399.1 million

acute conditions were reported. The incidence

level for females remained at its 1968 level

with 208.0 conditions per 100 persons compared

with 206.3 in 1968; while the rate for males

declined from 202.1 to 193.1 in 1969. The number

of conditions per 100 persons increased sIightly

for children 6-16 years of age, but showed a

slight decrease for persons 17-44 years (table

2). For the former group, the increase was

evident in all condition groups except influenza,

which showed a decrease of 11.5 conditions per

100 persons. For persons 17-44 years of age,

the decrease was concentrated primarily in the

number of reported cases of influenza. Influenza

also showed a corresponding decrease for the

other age groups, for both sexes. The increase

in infective and parasitic diseases is due in part

to changes in the new Eighth Revision of the

ICDA.

The overall numbers of restricted-dctivity and bed-disability days per 100 persons per year remained at their 1968 levels, as did the number of disability days for both sexes (tables 3-6). While several condition groups showed

slight increases in the numbers of restricted- activity and bed-disability days per 100 persons per year, influenza showed a very sizable de- crease. This decrease was more pronounced among males than among females. Between 1968 and 1969, days lost from school increased by approximately 58 days per 100 children 6-16 years of age; this increase was somewhat more pronounced for females than for males, and was mostly attributable to upper respiratory condi - tions and infective and parasitic diseases (table 7). Males in this age group had a greater number of days lost from school due to injuries. In general, rates of days lost from work decreased in 1969 for both males and females (table 8).

This decrease was largely associated with in- fluenza. Days lost from work due to injuries showed a moderate increase.

Persons with Limitation of Activity

During 1969, some 22.8 million persons, comprising 11.6 percent of the civilian, noninsti- tutional population, had some degree of activity limitation due to chronic conditions (table 9).

This estimate includes 9.1 percent who were limited in their major activity (working, keeping house, or going to school). The percent of persons with activity limitation increased with advancing age, with a slightly greater proportion of males than females limited at each age interval. The number of persons with limitation of activity due to chronic conditions has increased slightly since 1968.

rate of persons injured has shown no change from 1968. The number of restricted-activity days associated with injury decreased during 1969 (table 11). This decrease was more pro- nounced among males than among females. Over- all rates of bed-disability days associated with injury remained at their 1968 levels, although a decrease occurred among males (table 12).

Hospitalization

The number of discharges from short-stay hospitals per 100 persons per year increased during 1969 from an estimated 12.2 to 12.9 (table 13). Females were primarily responsible for the increase in hospital utilization, with an estimated 14.0 discharges per 100 females per year during 1968 and 15.1 during 1969.

The average length of hospital stay remained the same during 1969; an estimated 9.0 days for both sexes, 10.5 days for males, and 8.1 days for females. The average stay was longer for older persons, particularly those aged

or more years, than for younger persons.

Data on length of stay are rather unstable and have shown considerable fluctuation over the past several years. This is especially evident for males aged 25-34 years where the stay increased from 6.6 days in 1968 to 9.3 days in 1969. Vari- ations of this kind can be partially accounted for by sampling variability.

About 10.3 percent of the population had one or more hospital episodes during the year (table 14). The vast majority of hospitalized persons had only one episode. The average total number of days in the hospital during the year for persons with one or more episodes was 10.5 days (table 15). Females generally experienced a, shorter number of days per person with episodes than did males.

Persons Iniured

Disability Days

An estimated 48.7 million persons were injured during 1969, representing a rate of 24.7 persons injured per 100 persons per year (table 10). The largest proportion of these injuries occurred in the home (19.7 million). About 3.7 million persons were injured in moving motor vehicle accidents; of these persons, 3.3 million were injured in traffic accidents. The number and

The number of disability days per person resulting from acute and chronic conditions, injuries, and impairments are reported in tables 16 and 17. Person-days of disability represent unduplicated counts of condition-days of restricted activity, bed disability, work loss, and school loss.

2

Between 1968 and 1969, the rate of restrict- ed-activity days decreased from 15.3 to 14.8 days per person per year. This decrease was more pronounced among males than females, and occurred in all age groups for males. In general, the average numbers of bed-disability and work-loss days remained at their 1968 levels, although there was a drop in rate of days lost from work for females. Days lost from school averaged 5.4 days per child 6-16 years of age per year, compared with 4.9 in 1968 (table 17).

School loss was higher among females than among males; 5.8 days and 5.0 days, respectively, as compared with 5.2 days and 4.7 days in 1968.

Dental Visits

An estimated 293.3 million dental visits occurred during 1969, an average of 1.S visits.

per person per year (table 18). This is a slight increase over the 1.3 visits per person which occurred during 1968. Females in each age group visited the dentist more often than males. Rates among males were constant until age 65, after which they decreased, while rates among females were generally higher in the 17-64 age intervals.

Approximately 32.1 percent of thk population had visited the dentist during the 6 months prior to interview, and 45.0 percent within the past year (table 19). Proportionately more females than males had recently seen a dentist. About 13.3 percent of the population had never seen a dentist; this group included a higher proportion of young children.

The most recent previous data to be collected on time interval since last dental visi~ was during JuIy 1963-June 1964 (see Series 10, No. 29). For this period, approximately 28.7 percent of the population had seen a dentist during the 6 months prior to interview, and 42.0 percent within the preceding year. Approximately 16.6 percent of the population had never seen a dentist. Thus, it can be seen that in 1969, in comparison with the earlier years, a higher percentage of persons had recently seen a dentist, while the percentage of persons who had never seen a dentist has decreased.

Physician Visits

During 1969 there were an estimated 839.6 million physician visits, or 4.3 physician visits per person per year (table 20). The rate of phy- sician visits returned to the 1967 level. For both sexes, the average number of visits tended to increase. with advancing age. The estimates exclude visits as hospital inpatients, but include telephone consultations.

Approximately 54.4 percent of the population had seen a physician during the 6 months prior to interview, and 69.4 percent within the year (table 21). Except among persons under 17 years, proportionately more females than males had recently seen a physician.

Seasonal’ Variation

Tables 23-25 and figures 1-3 present quar- terly estimates of acute conditions, persons injured, and disability days.

Due to the absence of a generalized influenza epidemic, the fourth quarter of 1969 showed a decrease from the previous year in the rates of acute respiratory conditions and disability days.

SOURCE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE DATA

Health Interview Survey

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 prob- ability 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 househoId in the civilian, noninstitutional population of the United States. During the 52 weeks in 1969, 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 qualifica-

tions of the data obtained from surveys is pre- sented in appendix I. Since the estimates shown in this report are based on a sample of the pop- ulation rather than on the entire population, they are subject to sampling error. Therefore, par- ticular 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 denominator of a rate or percentage is small, the sampling error may be high. Charts of relative sampling errors and instructions for their use are shown in appendix 1.

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

which are listed in appendix II, are certain conditions such as heart trouble and diabetes which are always considered 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 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 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.

The estimates shown in this report are based on consolidation of quarterly data. Due to the provisional nature of these estimates they may, in some instances, differ slightly from revised data released at a later date.
