NHANES I A-Z Index

This index lists, in alphabetical order, the key concepts and terms used in the NHANES I tutorial. With each term is the module title and the page it can be found on. Click the hyperlinked module and page title to go the module's homepage, then  click the corresponding page link on the module homepage. Some terms have references to other terms in the A-Z Index instead of hyperlinks to modules. These terms' hyperlinks are prefaced with "see." Clicking the hyperlink will move the page to the section where you can find the referenced term.
