Association between Race and Health Behaviors by Dataset*

NHIS EHDIC-SWB

O.R. (95% CI) O.R. (95% CI)
Physically Inactive 1.48 (1.29–1.69) 0.79 (0.50–1.24)
Current Smoking 0.77 (0.65–0.90) 0.86 (0.60–1.23)
Current Drinking 0.58 (0.50–0.67) 1.34 (0.81–2.21)
*

OR=odds ratio; CI=confidence interval; White adults are the reference category.

Only models that contained variables in both EHDIC and NHIS datasets were conducted. All estimates using NHIS data account for the stratified, multistage probability sampling design by applying the appropriate weights and strata variables. Models included race, age, marital status, insurance status, household income, education level, fair/poor health, obesity.
