Title of Collaborative Activity:

National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Cardiovascular Component

Description of Collaborative Activity:

The purpose of this collaboration is to inform the NIH and the Nation on the status of key measures of cardiovascular, pulmonary, and sleep health and disease prevalent in the US civilian population, such as blood pressure, serum lipid levels, risk factors for disease, airway flow limitation, reports of efforts to control weight, and reports of sleep disturbances. The NIH identifies the most key cost-effective basic measures for these conditions and behaviors, relevant to its mission and amenable to being utilized in a mobile hospital setting. NIH staff work with National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) staff to implement the most cost-effective of the measures, to monitor and help manage the survey in progress, and to evaluate and publish the resulting data.
