Weighted sample size is 4,137,212.
Weighted sample size is 4,695,368.
Value for CHS minus value for NYC HANES. Differences may vary by ±0.1 because of rounding.
P value <.05 indicates that CHS and NYC HANES estimates were statistically different.
P value <.05 indicates CHS and NYC HANES estimates were statistically equivalent.
Body mass index (BMI) was classified into 3 categories: overweight or obesity (BMI ≥25), obesity (BMI ≥30), and extreme obesity (BMI ≥40). BMI was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared; height and weight were self-reported in CHS and measured during the interview in NYC HANES.
Influenza vaccination was defined as reporting to have received an influenza vaccine in the previous 12 months.
Depression, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia were defined as an affirmative response to 4 questions asking respondents whether they had ever been told a by health care professional they had these conditions. The question on hyperlipidemia was restricted to men aged 40 years or older and women aged 45 years or older to be consistent with routine cholesterol testing recommendations of the US Preventive Services Task Force (17).
Smoking was defined as having smoked at least 100 cigarettes in one’s lifetime and having recently smoked every day or some days at the time of the survey.
Serious psychological distress was defined as a Kessler 6 score of at least 13 (of a possible 24) (18).
