|||||||||||||||||||||||
Use the Health Indicator by Demographic Variables tables to determine if the prevalence of a health indicator differs by age, race/ethnicity, or education groups. These tables provide age-specific, race/ethnicity-specific, and education-specific prevalence for a health indicator and can be used to compare across populations and to identify health problems or improvements in health indicators in a subpopulation.
PedNSS Health Indicator by Demographic Variables tables include:
PNSS Health Indicator by Demographic Variables tables include:
These tables can be used to answer questions such as:
The following paragraphs provide general information about the table data that will help you with interpretation.
Title
For PedNSS, the table titles show the health indicators that are analyzed in
the table.
For PNSS, the table title includes a group of health indicators but only
selected health indicators are included in the group.
Review the
PNSS table titles.
Stratification of Data or Subpopulations
In these tables, the population is broken down (or stratified) into
specific subpopulations or categories. Prevalence is then calculated for
each subpopulation.
In the PedNSS tables, the health indicators are stratified by the
demographic variables of age or race/ethnicity as well as by age groups
within race/ethnicity categories:
In the PNSS tables, the health indicators are stratified by mother’s education as well as age or race/ethnicity.
We're going to look at sections of the PedNSS Table 8C, Health Indicator by Demographic Variables. You can click on the View Sample Table link below each portion to review the entire table. The sample table is numbered to match the portions shown below.
Low and High Birthweight, Short Stature, Underweight, Overweight, (children) >2 Years (of age) Overweight (85th to <95th and >95th ) and Anemia data are stratified by either race/ethnicity or age or both. |

The Anemia prevalence (%) for 2-year-old children (24-35 months) is 13.3%. This age group has 24,544 records with valid hemoglobin or hematocrit data. |

We're going to look at sections of the PedNSS Table 16C, Growth and Anemia Indicators by Race/Ethnicity and Age. You can click on the View Sample Table link below each portion to review the entire table. The sample table is numbered to match the portions shown below.
Short Stature, Underweight, Overweight, (children) >2 Years (of age) Overweight data are stratified by age within specific race/ethnicity categories. |

The prevalence of Overweight (greater than or equal to 95th) among Hispanic children older than or equal to 2 years of age (24–59 Months) is 18.1%. There are 24.861 records with valid height and weight data for Hispanic children older than or equal to 2 years of age. |
