Health History

Currently the NNSD5, NNSD6 and NNSD6S address Health History.These questions ask about illnesses and injuries subjects have experienced, and any consequences of health issues on activities. If the subject answers that their health is good or excellent in the NNSD6, the health history questions are skipped, since this data was collected in the NNSD5. Questions are categorized by variable at the top and by NNSD year below, where the data dictionary version of the question includes the variable name, variable type, number of digits in code, formula, range, and variable label.
