| Abstract | National estimates on physical health status, health problems, or abnormal conditions of approximately 13,887 noninstitutionalized American children, 6 to 11 years of age in 1963 through 1965, and adolescents, 12 to 17 years of age in 1966 through 1970, were derived from pediatric examinations in the National Health Examination survey and from parent ratings of children's present and past medical history. The two surveys involved samples of children and adolescents representative of the population with respect to such characteristics as age, sex, race, region, and size of place of residence. Major findings showed that parents considered 52% of the children (earlier survey) and 67% of the adolescents (later survey) to be in very good health; that pediatricians found only one of eight children to have one or more significant problems (such as cardiovascular or physical abnormality) compared with one youth in five for the older group; that serious accidents increased with consistent significance with increased age; that approximately 4% of both groups had hearing problems; and that 7% of the youths (slightly higher in the younger groups) had vision problems. Additional major findings indicated that Negro children and youths more frequently were found to be in the abnormal range than their white counterparts; that children in the West were less and children in the South were more frequently abnormal than children elsewhere; and that the proportion of abnormal conditions in children decreased consistently as family income level increased. (Appendixes contain tabular material such as statistical notes, history forms, and socioeconomic terms.) (MC) |
