ACUTE CONDITIONSINCIDENCE AND ASSOCIATED DISABILITY
Charles S. WiIder, Division of Health Interview Statistics
INTRODUCTION
During July 1973-June 1974 an estimated355,265,000 acute illnesses or injuries involvingeither medical attention or restriction of usualdaily activity occurred among the U.S. civilianpopulation not confined in institutions. Theincidence rate of 172.0 per 100 persons per yearwas the lowest reported in the Health InterviewSurvey since its inception in July 1957 (figure1). This incidence rate of 172.0 was about thesame as that of 175.1 reported for calendar year1973=and, abbut 13.2 percent lower than that of
198.1 for July 1972~une 1973. During calendaryeax 1974 the incidence rate was 175.7–aboutthe same as that for 1973 and July 1973-June1974. Thus, whatever caused the decline inincidence in 1973 has continued into 1974.
There is reason to believe that this sharpdecline in the estimate of acute conditionsduring the past two years may be associatedwith a chamge in the questionnaire content.Factors relating to this possibility are discussedon page 4. These factors should be thoroughlyconsidered before any conclusions are drawnregarding a possible major decrease in the

incidence o: acute conditions in the UnitedStates during the past few years.
This report is one of an annual series ofreports on the incidence of acute conditionsbased on data coIlected in the Health InterviewSurvey. The last report, Series 10, No. 98,covered the period JuIy 1972-June 1973; othersuch reports in Series 10 are Numbers 1, 10, 15,26, 38, 44, 54, 69, 77, 82, and 88. Theincidence of acute conditions on a calendar yearbasis is summarized in the Current Estimatesreports in Series 10, Numbers 52, 60, 63, 72, 79,85,95, and 100 for 1967 through 1974.
SOURCE OF DATA
The information in this report is based ondata collected in a continuing nationwide surveyconducted by household interview. Each week aprobability sample of the civilian,noninstitutionalized population is interviewedby trained personnel of the U.S. Bureau of theCensus to obtain information about the healthand other characteristics of each member of thehousehold. During July 1973-June 1974, thesample was composed of about 40,000households containing some 118,000 personsliving at the time of the interview. A descriptionof the design of the survey, the methods used inestimation, and the generaI qualifications of dataobtained from surveys is presented in appendixI.
Since estimates shown in this report arebased on a sample of the population rather thanon the entire population, they are subject tosampling error. Therefore, particular attentionshould be paid to the section entitled“Reliability of Estimates. ” Sampling errors formost of the estimates are of relatively lowmagnitude. However, where an estimatednumber of the numerator or the denominator ofa rate or percentage is small, the sampling errormay be high.
Certain terms used in this report are defiiedin appendix II. Some of the terms havespecialized meanings for the purpose of thesurvey. For example, estimates of the incidenceo f acute conditions include, with certainexceptions, only those conditions which had
started within the 2 weeks prior to the week ofinterview and which had involved either medicalattention or restricted activity. The exceptions,listed in appendix II, are certain conditions suchas heart trouble and diabetes which are alwaysconsidered chronic, regardless of duration oronset.
Annual estimates of the number of disabilitydays associated with each acute condition arederived from the number of such daysexperienced during the 2-week period prior toweek of interview and include all those reported,even if the acute ilhess causing the disabilityhad its onset prior to the 2-week period. Sinceany particular day of disability may beassociated with more than one condition, thesum of days for all conditions adds to more thanthe total number of person-days of disability.
The questionnaires used for the HealthInterview Survey during 1973 and 1974 areillustrated in the Current Estimates reports forthese years (Series 10, Numbers 95 and 100).Appendix III of this report shows the probequestions for acute conditions and the conditionpages.
INCIDENCE OFACUTE CONDITIONS AND
ASSOCIATED DISABILITY DAYS
During July 1973-June 1974 the incidenceof acute illnesses and injuries involving mediczdattention or activity restriction experienced bythe civilian, noninstitutionalized population wasestimated to be 355.3 million, or 172.0 cases per100 persons per year (table 1). As shown infigure 1, this rate was the lowest ever reportedbased on data collected in the Health InterviewSurvey. The incidence rate for the current yearwas 13.2 percent lower than that of 198.1reported for JuIy 1972-June 1973 (table A). Thedecline in the estimated incidence of acuteconditions began in the first quarter of 1973 andhas continued through 1974. The incidence ratesfor calendar years 1973 and 1974 of 175.1 and175.7 suggest that some common factor hasinfluenced the onset of acute conditions forthese two years.

Acute conditions may be reported in any ofthe probe questions in the early portion of thequestionnaire. An acute condition is defined as acondition which has lasted less than 3 monthsand which has involved either medical attentionor restricted activity. Thus, the primary sourcesof reporting of acute conditions are thedisability-day probe question 9, the injuryquestion 10, and the doctor visit question 18.The number of these acute conditions reportedto have started in the 2 weeks prior to the weekof interview is the basis on which the annualincidence of acute illnesses or injuries ismeasured.
It is of interest that the relative number ofacute conditions reported in response to theprobe questions has remained the same for thepast three years–1972 through 1974. In each ofthe three years about one acute condition lastingless than 3 months has been reported for eacheight persons in the sample of the civilian,no ninstitutionalized population. Respondentsare asked on the Condition Page for additionalinformation about the impact of the condition.One of these questions is: “When did – firstnotice his . . .“ (– refers to the person and . . .refers to the condition). In 1972 about 73.6percent of the acute conditions reported in theprobe questions were reported to have had theironset in the 2-week reference period. The inci-dence for these conditions was 219.7 conditionsper 100 persons per year for 1972. During 1973and 1974 about 56.6 percent and 57.9 percentof all reported acute conditions were reported asbeginning in the 2-week reference period. Thisreduction in conditions reported with onset inthe 2 weeks prior to interview week hasaccounted for the lower annual incidence ratesfor the past two years.
The onset question itself has beenunchanged in the past three years. The onlychange in the condition page for 1973 and 1974was the addition of item A4—a requirement tocomplete an additional supplement about theconditions first noticed during the 2-weekreference period. It is possible that more carewas exercised in finding out if an acutecondition did start within the 2-week referenceperiod or before the reference period. It isdifficult for respondents to remember exactly
when an acute illness actually &rted, especiallyone which began more than a week ago.Therefore, it is possible that because alf theaddition al requirements for completiiig asupplement for conditions starting in the 2weeks, more extensive probing of respondentswith greater use of memory aids resulted inmore precise pinpointing of the date of onset.
Since the same relative number of acuteconditions was reported in the probe questionsin 1973 and 1974 as in 1972, and the time ofonset is not considered in calculating the annualestimate, it is not surprising that the rates ofutilization of services or of disability haveremained substantially unchanged as shownbelow:

Acute conditions caused 9.2 days ofrestricted activity and 4.0 days spent in bed per

. was 5.4 days of restricted activity and 2.3 daysof bed disability (table B). Average duration percondition is computed by dividing the days percondition by the number of cases included inthe incidence of the condition.
An estimated 45.5 percent of all acute
conditions caused activity restriction but werenot medically attended (tables C and 4). About36.9 percent of the conditions were medicallyattended and caused activity restriction and theremaining 17.6 percent were medically attended zonly. During recent years the percentage ofacute conditions with only activity restrictionhas been rising.

1973-June 1974 is the highest during the 13years.
Table E and figures 2 and 3 have beenprepared to examine the relationship in theincidence rates by the measures of impact of theconditions and several demographiccharacteristics not ordinarily presented in theseacute condition reports. The purpose of thisexamination is to see whether the decline inincidence rates beginning with data collected inJanuary 1973 was caused by a reduction ofreporting of acute conditions by some segmentsof the population or whether the requirementthat an acute qondition must have beenmedically attended or activity restricting hasaccounted for some portion of the decline. Themethod of doing this has been to obtain averageannual incidence rates for the three years, July1969-June 1970, JuIy 1970-June 1971, andJuly1971-June 1972, in each of which the incidencerate exceeded 200 cases per 100 persons peryear. The information in tabIe E is summarizedin figures 2 and 3. As expected the incidencerates for JuIy 1973-June 1974 were at a lowerlevel; but the distribution of rates assumes thesame- general pattern as that for JuIy 1969-June1972 for the totalthese data suggests
incidence. Examinationthat the Iower estimate
ofof
the incidence rate of acute conditions during thecurrent year cannot be associated with anyparticular segment of the population. Also, itdoes not appear that there has been anyappreciable reduction in medical attention oractivity restriction that would account for thelower incidence rate.
Based on data in tables A and E, the fall inthe incidence of acute illnesses and injuryappears to have occurred throughout thecivilian, noninstitutionalized population. It willbe of particukir interest to see whether theincidence rates return to their previous levelsbeginning with data for January 1975 orcontinue to folIow the recent pattern, since thecondition supplement used during 1973 and1974 is no Ionger required.
In general the incidence of acute conditionsper 100 persons per year followed the usualpattern in declining with advancing age (table 5and figure 4). However, the difference in ratesby sex that is usually present in these data wasnot present in this year’s incidence rates. Duringeach of the years in table A except the currentone, the incidence rate for females exceededthat for males by a substantial margin. However,during the current year there was ordy a smalldifference in the rate, 4.4 percentage points. A

difference of this size can be explained bysampling variability.
The average duration of restricted activityand bed disability per condition rose withincreasing age (tables B, 6, and 7). Acuteconditions for persons 65 years and over caused14.2 days of restricted activity and 5.5 days inbed per acute condition compared with 3.6 and1.6 days, respectively, for children under 6years.
Acute illnesses or injuries caused 4.9 dayslost from school per child 6-16 years of age(table 8). Respiratory illnesses caused 3.0 ofthese days away from school.
The incidence rate of acute conditionsamong currently employed persons, that is,persons who worked or had a job or business atany time during the 2 weeks prior to the weekof interview, was 144.4 per 100 such persons peryear (table 9). These acute conditions caused355.8 days lost from work per 100 currentlyemployed persons per year, with an averageduration per condition of 2.5 days (table 10).
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION
The incidence of acute illnesses and injuriesper 100 persons per year was higher in theStandard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA)
than outside metropolitan areas (table 11).Following the usual pattern, persons living onfarms outside SMSA’S had the lowest incidencerates. Figure 5 shows the distribution ofincidence rates by age for each place ofresidence. The unusual age-specific rates forfarm residents aged 15-44 years of age may bedue to chance variability in rates. There was nosubstantial difference in rates of restrictedactiv’ity and bed disablity due to acuteconditions between residents of SMSA’S andnonfarm areas, but the rates for farm residentswere somewhat lower than those for residentsof SMSA’S and nonfarm areas (tables 12 and13).
Respiratory conditions accounted for abouthalf of all acute conditions among residents ofmetropolitan areas and nonfarm areas outsideSMSA’S. About three of each five conditionsreported by farm residents were respiratoryconditions (table 14). Acute respiratoryconditions caused fewer disability days per 100persons per year among farm residents than inthe other places of residence (tables 15 and 16).
The incidence rate of acute conditionsfollowed the usual pattern of being highest inthe West Region; acute conditions also causedhigher rates of disability days in the West Regionthan elsewhere (tables 17-22). Figure 6 showsthat age-specific rates of acute conditions for the

APPENDIX I
TECHNICAL NOTES ON METHODS
Background of This Report
This report is one of a series of statistical re-ports prepared by the National Center for HealthStatistics (NCHS). It is based on information col-lected in a continuing nationwide sample ofhouseholds in the Health Interview Survey (HIS).
The Health Interview Survey utilizes a ques-tionnaire which obtains information on personaland demographic characteristics, illnesses, in-
juries, impairments, chronic conditions, and otherhealth topics. As data relating to each of thesevarious broad topics are tabulated and analyzed,separate reports are issued which cover one or
more of the specific topics. The present reportis based on data collected in household interviewsduringJuly 1973-June 1974.
The population covered by the sample for theHealth Interview Survey is the civilian, non-institutionalized population of the United Statesliving at the time of the interview. The sample
does not include members of the Armed Forcesor U.S. nationals living in foreign countries. Itshould also be noted th;t the estimates shown donot represent a complete measure of any giventopic during the specified calendar period sinceda~a are not-collect~d in the interview- for personswho died during the reference period. For manytypes of statistics collected in the survey, thereference period covers the 2 weeks prior to theinterview week. For such a short period, the con-tribution by decedents to a total inventory ofconditions or services should be very small. How-ever, the contribution by decedents during a long
reference period (e.g., 1 year) might b e sizable,especially for older persons.
Statistical Design of theHealth Interview Survey
General @an.-The sampling plan of the surveyfollows a multistage probability design which per-mits a continuous sampling of the civilian, non-institutionalized population of the United States.
The sample is designed in such a way that thesample of households interviewed each week isrepresentative of the target population and thatweekly samples are additive over time. This
feature of the design permits both continuousmeasurement of characteristics of samples andmore detaiIed analysis of less common character-istics and smaller categories of health-relateditems. The continuous collection has administra-tive and operational advantages as well as techni-cal assets since it permits fieldwork to be handledwith an experienced, stable staff.
The overall sample was designed so that tabu-lations can be provided for each of the four majorgeographic regions and for urban and rural sectors
of the United States.The first stage of the sample design consists of
drawing a sample of 376 primary sampling units(PSU’S) from approximately 1,900 geographicallydefined PSU’S. A PSU consists of a county, asmall group of contiguous counties, or a standardmetropolitan statistical area. The PSU’S collec-tively cover the 50 States and the District ofColumbia.
47
With no 10SSin general understanding, the re-maining stages can be combined and treated inthis discussion as an ultimate stage. Within
PSU’S, then, ultimate stage units called segmentsare defined in such a manner that each segmentcontains an expected four households. Threegeneral types of segments are used.
Area segments which are defined geographically.
List segments, using 1970 census registers as theframe.
Permits segments, using updated lists of building
permits issued in sample PSU’S since 1970.
Census address listings were used for all areas ofthe country where addresses were well definedand could be used to locate housing units. In gen-eral the list frame included the larger urban areasof the United States from which about two-thirdsof the HIS sample was selected.
The total HIS sample of approximately 12,000segments yields a probability y sample of about
118,000 persons in 40,000 interviewed house-holds in a year.
Descriptive material on data collection, fieldprocedures, and questionnaire development in theHIS has been published as well as a detailed de-scription of the sample designz and a report onthe estimation procedure and the method usedto calculate sampling errors of estimates derivedfrom the survey.3

Census under specifications established by theNational Center for Health Statistics. In accord-ance with these specifications the Bureau of theCensus participates in survey planning, selectsthe sample, and conducts the field interviewingas an agent of NCHS. The data are coded, edited,and tabulated by NCHS.
Estimatingprocedures. –Since the design of theHIS is a complex multistage probability sample,it is necessary to use complex procedures in thederivation of estimates. Four basic operations areinvolved:
1. Inflation by the reciprocal of the probability
of selection.—The probability y of selection isthe product of the probabilities of selectionfrom each step of selection in the design(PSU, segment, and household).
2. IVonresponse adjustment.–The estimates areinflated by a multiplication factor which has
as its numerator the number of sample house-holds in a given segment and as its denonlina-tor the number of households interviewed inthat segment.
3. First-stage ratio adjustment. –Sampling the-
ory indicates that the use of auxiliary informa-tion which is highly correlated with the vari-ables being estimated improves the reliabilityof the estimates. To reduce the variability be-tween PSU’S within a region, the estimates areratio adjusted to the 1970 populations within12 color-residence classes.
4. Poststratification by age-sex-color.–The esti-mates are ratio adjusted within each of 601age-sex-color cells to an independent estimate ofthe population of each cell for the surveyperiod. These independent estimates are pre-
pared by the Bureau of the Census. Both thefirst-stage and poststratified ratio adjustmentstake the form of multiplication factors appliedto the weight of each elementary unit (person,
household, condition, and hospitalization).
The effect of the ratio-estimating process is tomake the sample more closely representative ofthe civilian, noninstitutionalized population by
48
age, sex, color, and residence, which thereby re-duces sampling variance.
As noted, each week’s sample represents thepopulation living during that week and charac-teristics of the population. Consolidation ofsamples over a time period, e.g., a calendar quar-ter, produces estimates of average characteristics
of the U.S. population for the calendar quarter.Similarly, population data for a year are averagesof the four quarterly figures.
For prevalence statistics, such as number ofpersons with’ speech impairments or number ofpersons classified by time interval since lastphysician visit, figures are first calculated for eachcalendar quarter by averaging estimates for allweeks of interviewing in the quarter. Prevalencedata for a year are then obtained by averaging thefour quarteriy figures.
For other types of statistics–namely thosemeasuring the number of occurrences during aspecified time period—such as incidence of acuteconditions, number of disability days, or num-ber of visits to a doctor or dentist, a similar com-putational procedure is used, but the statisticsare interpreted differently. For these items, thequestionnaire asks for the respondent’s experi-ence over the 2 czdendar weeks prior to the week
of interview. In such instances the estimatedquarterly total for the statistic is 6.5 times theaverage 2-week estimate produced by the 13 suc-cessive samples taken during the period. Theannuzd totzd is the sum of the four quarters. Thusthe experience of persons interviewed durz”nga
year–experience which actually occurred foreach person in a 2-calendar-week interval prior toweek of interview-is treated as though it meas-ured the totzd of such experience durz”ng the year.Such interpretation leads to no significant bias.
General Qualifications
iVonresponse.-Data were adjusted for nonre-sponse by a procedure which imputes to personsin a household which was not interviewed thecharacteristics of persons in households in thesame segment which were interviewed. The total
noninterview rate was about 3 percent—1.4 per-
cent was refusal, and the remainder was prim&lydue to the failure to find an eligible respondentat home after repeated calls.
The interview process.–The statistics pre-sented in this report are based on replies obtainedin interviews with persons in the sample house-holds. Each person 19 years of age and over pre-
sent at the time of interview was interviewedindividually. For children and for adults notpresent in the home at the time of the interview,the information was obtained from a relatedhousehold member such as a spouse or the motherof a child.
There &e limitations to the accuracy of diag-nostic and other information collected in house-hold interviews. For diagnostic information, thehousehold respondent can usually pass on to theinterviewer only the information the physicianhas given to the family. For conditions notmedically attended, diagnostic information isoften no more than a description of symptoms.However, other facts, such as the number of dis-ability days caused by the condition, can be ob-tained more accurately from household membersthan from any other source since only the per-sons concerned are in a position to report thisinformation.
Rounding of numbers.–The original tabula-tions on which the data in this report are basedshow all estimates to the nearest whole unit. Allconsolidations were made from the original tabu-lations using the estimates to the nearest unit. Inthe final published tables, the figures are roundedto the nearest thousand, although these are notnecessarily accurate to that detail. Devised sta-tistics such as rates and percent distributions arecomputed after the estimates on which these arebased have been rounded to the nearest thousand.
Population fi&.wes.-Some of the publishedtables include population figures for specifiedcategories. Except for certain overalI totals byage, sex, and color, which are adjusted to inde-
pendent estimates, these figures are based on thesample of households in the HIS. These are givenprimarily to provide denominators for rate com-putation, and for this purpose are more appro-priate for use with the accompanying measures
49
of health characteristics than other populationdata that may be available. With the exceptionof the overall totals by age, sex, and color men-tioned above, the population figures differ fromfigures (which are de;ived from &fferent sources)published in reports of the Bureau of the Census.Official population estimates are presented inBureau of the Census reports in Series P-20, P-25,and P-60.
Reliability of Estimates
Since the statistics presented in this report arebased on a sample, they will differ somewhat from
the figures that would have been obtained if acomplete census had been taken using the sameschedules, instructions, and interviewing person-nel and procedures.
As in any survey, the results are also subject toreporting and processing errors and errors due tononresponse. To the extent possible, these types
of errors were kept to a minimum by methodsbuilt into survey procedures.4 Although it isvery difficult to measure the extent of bias in theHealth Interview Survey, a number of stydleshave been conducted to study this problem. - Theresults have been published in several reports. 5-10

The standard error is primarily a measure ofsampling variability, that is, the variation thatoccurs by chance because only a sample of thepopulation is surveyed. As calculated for this re-port, the standard error also reflects part of thevariation which arises in the measurement proc-ess. However, it does not include any systematicbiases which might be in the data. The chancesare about 68 out of 100 that an estimate fromthe sample would differ from a complete censusby less than the standard error. The chances areabout 95 out of 100 that the difference would beless than twice the standard error and about 99
out of 100 that it would be less than 2Y2 times aslarge.
The relative standard error of an estimate is
obtained by dividing the standard error of theestimate by the estimate itself and is expressedas a percentage .of the estimate. For this report,asterisks are shown for any cell with more than a30-percent relative standard error. Included in
this appendix are charts from which the relativestandard errors can be determined for estimatesshown in the report. In order to derive relative
errors which would be applicable to a wide vari-ety of health statistics and which could be pre-pared at a moderate cost, a number of approxi-mations were required. As a result, the chartsprovide an estimate of the approximate relative
standard error rather than the precise error forany specific aggregate or percentage.
Three classes of statistics for the health surveyare identified for purposes of estimating variances.
Narrow range. –This class consists of(1) statistics
,which estimate a population attribute, e.g., thenumber of persons in a particular income group,and (2) statistics for which the measure for asingle individual during the reference period usedin data collection is usually either O or 1 or onoccasion may take on the value 2 or very rarely 3.Medt%m range. –This class consists of other statis-
tics for which the measure for a single individualduring the reference period used in data collectionwill rarely lie outside the range O to 5.Wide range. –This class consists of statistics forwhich the measure for a single individual during
50
the reference period used in data collection canrange from O ~o a number in excess of 5, e.g., thenumber of days of bed dkability.
In addition to classifying variables accordingto whether they are narrow-, medium-, or wide-range, statistfis in the survey are further definedas:
Type A. Statistics on prevalence and incidencefor which the period of reference in thequestionnaire is 12 months.
Type B. Incidence-type statistics for which theperiod of reference in the questionnaireis 2 weeks.
Type C. Statistics for which the reference pe-riod is 6 months.
General rules for determining relative standarderrors.-The “guide” on page 53, together withthe following rules, will enable the reader to de-termine approximate relative standard errorsfrom the charts for estimates presented in thisreport.
Rule 1. Estimates of ag~egates: Approximaterelative standard errors for estimatesof aggregates such as the number ofpersons with a given characteristic areobtained from appropriate curves onpages 54-56. The number of personsin the total U.S. population or in anage-sex-color class of the total popula-tion is adjusted to official Bureau ofthe Census figures and is not subject tosampling error.
Rule 2. Estimates of percentages in a percent
distn.bution: Relative standard errorsfor percentages in a percent distribu-
tion of a total are obtained from appro-priate curves on pages 57-59. Forvalues which do not fall on one of thecurves presented in the chart, visualinterpolation will provide a satisfactoryapproximation.
Rule 3. Estimates ofrates where the numeratoris a subclass of the denominator: Thisrule applies for prewdence rates orwhere a unit of the numerator occurs,with few exceptions, only once in theyear for any one unit in the denomina-tor. For example, in computing therate of visual impairments per 1,000population, the numerator consistingof persons with the impairment is a sub-class of the denominator, which in-cludes all persons in the population.Such rates if converted to rates per 100may be treated as though they werepercentages and the relative standarderrors obtained from the chartP4AN-M. Rates per 1,000, or on anyother base, must first be converted torates per 100; then the percentage chart
wilI provide the relative standard errorper 100.
Rule 4. Estimates ofrates where the numeratoris not a subck.rs of the denominator:This rule applies where a unit of thenumerator often occurs more thanonce for any one unit in the denomina-tor. For example, in the computationof the number of persons injured per100 currently employed persons peryear, it is possible that a person in thedenominator could have sustainedmore than one of the injuries includedin the numerator. Approximate rela-tive standard errors for rates of thiskind may be computed as follows:
(a) Where the denominator is the totalU.S. population or includes all per-sons in one or more of the age-sex-color groups of the total popula-lation, the relative error of the rate
is equivalent to the relative error ofthe numerator, which can be ob-tained directly from the appropri-ate chart.
51
(b) In other cases the relative standarderror of the numerator and of thedenominator can be obtained fromthe appropriate curve. Square each
of these relative errors, add the re-sulting values, and extract thesquare root of the sum. This pro-cedure will result in an upper
bound on the standard error andoften will overstate the error.
Rule 5. Estimates of difference between two
statistics (mean, rate, total, etc.): Thestandard error of a difference is approx-imately the square root of the sum ofthe squares of each standard error con-sidered separately. A formula for thestandard error of a difference,
d= X1– X2
is
fJd =/(% ~x ~)2 + (X* V.*)2
where Xl is the estimate for class 1, X2is the estimate for class 2, and VX~ andV%* are the relative errors of Xl andX2 respectively. This formula will
represent the actual standard errorquite accurately for the difference be-tween separate and uncorrelated char-acteristics although it is only a roughapproximation in most other cases.The relative standard error of each
estimate involved in such a differencecan be determined by one of the fourrules above, whichever is appropriate.

APPENDIX II
DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS IN THIS REPORT
Terms Relating to Conditions
Condition.–A morbidity condition, or simplya condition, is any entry on the questionnairewhich describes a departure from a state of phys-
ical or mental well-being. It results from a posi-tive response to one of a series of “medical-disability impact” or “illness-recall” questions.In the coding and tabulating process conditionsare selected or classified according to a numberof different criteria such as whether they weremedically attended, whether they resulted in dis-ability, or whether they were acute or chronic;or according to the type of disease, injury, im-pairment, or symptom reported. For the pur-
poses of each published report or set of tables,only those conditions recorded on the question-naire which satisfy certain stated criteria areincluded.
Conditions except impairments are classifiedby type according to the Eighth Revision Inter-national Classification of Diseases, A dap ted for
Use in the United States, 9 with certain modifi-cations adopted to make the code more suitablefor a household interview survey.
Acute condition.–An acute condition is de-fined as a condition which has lasted less than 3months and which has involved either medicalattention or restricted activity. Because of theprocedures used to estimate incidence, the acuteconditions included in this report are the condi-tions which had their onset during the 2 weeks

Incidence of conditions.–The incidence ofconditions is the estimated number of conditionshaving their onset in a specified time period. Aspreviously mentioned, minor acute conditions in-volving neither restricted activity nor medicalattention are excluded from the statistics. Theincidence data shown in some reports are furtherlimited to various subclasses of conditions, suchas “incidence of conditions involving bed dis-ability. ”
Onset of condition.–A condition is consideredto have had its onset when it was first noticed.This could be the time the person first felt sickor became injured, or it could be the time whenthe person or his family was first told by aphysician that he had a condition of which hewas previously unaware.
Activity-restricting condition.—An activity-
restricting condition is one which had its onset inthe past 2 weeks and which caused at least 1 dayof restricted activity during the 2 calendar weeksbefore the interview week. (See “Restricted-
activity day” under “Terms Relating toDisability.”)
Bed-disabling condition. –A condition withonset in the past 2 weeks involving at least 1 dayof bed disability is called a bed-disabling condi-tion. (See “Bed-disability day” under “Terms
Relating to Disability.”)Medicafiy attended condition.–A condition
with onset in the past 2 weeks is considered
medically attended if a physician has been con-
sulted about it either at its onset or at any timethereafter. However, when the first medical at-tention for a condition does not occur until afterthe interview, the case is necessarily treated asthough there was no medical attention. Medicalattention includes consultation either in personor by telephone for treatment or advice. Advicefrom the physician transmitted to the patientthrough the nurse is counted as well as visits tophysicians in clinics or hospitals. If during the
course of a single visit the physician is consultedabout more than one condition for each of severalpatients, each condition of each patient iscounted as medically attended.
Discussions of a child’s condition by the physi-cian and a responsible member of the householdare considered as medical attention even if thechild was not seen at that time.
For the purpose of this definition the term“physician” includes doctors of medicine andosteopathic physicians.
Terms Relating to Disability
Disability .–Disability is the general term usedto describe any temporary or long-term reductionof a person’s activity as a result of an acute or
chronic condition.Disability day.–Short-term disability days are
classified according to whether they are days ofrestricted activity, bed days, hospital days, work-10SSdays, or school-loss days. All hospital days
are, by definition, days of bed disability; all daysof bed disability are, by definition, days of re-stricted activity. The converse form of these
statements is, of course, not true. Days lost fromwork and days lost from school are special terms
which apply to the working and school-age popu-lations only, but these too are days of restrictedactivity. Hence “days of restricted activity” isthe most inclusive term used to describe disa-bility days.
Restn”cted-activ~ty day.–A day of restrictedactivity is one on which a person cuts down onhis usual activities for the whole of that day be-
cause of an illness or an injury. The term “usualactivities” for any day means the things that theperson would ordinarily do on that day. Forchildren under school age, usual activity dependson whatever the usual pattern is for the child’sday, which will in turn be affected by the age of
the child, weather conditions, and so forth. Forretired or elderly persons, usual activities mightconsist of almost no activity, but cutting downon even a small amount for as much as a day
would constitute restricted activity. On Sundaysor holidays, usual activities are the things thle per-son usually does on such days—going to church,playing golf, visiting friends or relatives, oIr stay-
62
ing at home-and listening to the radio, reading,looking at television, and so forth. Persons whohave permanently reduced their usual activitiesbecause of a chronic condition might not reportany restricted-activity days during a 2-weekperiod. Therefore absence of restricted-activitydays does not imply normal health.
Restricted activity does not imply completeinactivity, but it does imply only the minimumof usual activities. A special nap for an hour afterlunch does not constitute cutting down on usualactivities, nor does the elimination of a heavychore such as cleaning ashes out of the furnace orhanging out the wash. If a farmer or housewifecarries on only the minimum of the day’s chores,however, this is a day of restricted activity.
A day spent in bed or a day home from workor school because of illness or injury is, of course,a restricted-activit y day.
Bed-disability day.–A day of bed disability isone on which a person stays in bed for all ormost of the day because of a specific illness orinjury. All or most of the day is defined as morethan half of the daylight hours. All hospital daysfor inpatients are considered to be days of beddisability even if the patient was not actually inbed at the hospital.
Work-loss day. –A day lost from work is a dayon which a person did not work at his job or busi-ness for at least haIf of his normal workday be-cause of a specific illness or injury. The numberof days lost from work is determined only forpersons 17 years of age and over who reportedthat at any time during the 2-week period coveredby the interview they either worked at or had a
job or business. (See “Currently employed per-sons” under “Demographic Terms.”)
School-loss day.–A day lost from school is anormal school day on which a child did not at-tend school because of a specific illness or injury.The number of days lost from school is deter-
mined only for children 6-16 years of age.Condition-day. –Condition-days of restricted
activity, bed disability, and so forth are days ofthe various forms of disability associated with any
one condition. Since any particular day of dis-
ability may be assoti”ated with more than onecondition, the sum of days for conditions mayadd to more than the total number of person-days.
Demographic Terms
Age.–The age recorded for each person is theage at last birthday. Age is recorded in singleyears and grouped in a variety of distributionsdepending on the purpose of the table.
Geographic reg”on.–For the purpose of classi-fying the population by geographic area, theStates are grouped into four regions. Theseregions, ”which correspond to those used by theU.S. Bureau of the Census, are shown in figure II.

New England) which are metropolitan in charac-ter so that the periphery of the specific metro-
politan area may be determined. SMSA’S are notlimited by State boundaries. In New England
SMSA’S consist of towns and cities, rather thancounties.
Central cities. –Each SMSA must include at leastone central city. The complete title of an SMSAidentifies the central city or cities. If only onecentral city is designated, then it must have50,000 inhabitants or more. The area title mayinclude, in addition to the largest city, up to twocity names on the basis and in the order of thefollowing criteria: (1) the additional city has atleast 250,000 inhabitants or (2) the additional
city has a population of one-third or more of thatof the largest city and a minimum population of
25,000. An exception occurs where two citieshave ‘contiguous boundaries and constitute, foreconomic and social purposes, a single commu-nity of at least 50,000, the smaller of which must

In labor force.–All persons 17 years and olderwho worked at or had a job or business or werelooking for work or on layoff from work duringthe 2-week period prior to the week of intervieware in the labor f orce. The labor force consists ofpersons currently employed and those not em-ployed as defined below.
Currently emplo yed.–Persons 17 years of age andover who reported that at any time duiing the2-week period covered by the interview they
either worked at or had a job or business are cur-rently employed. Current employment includespaid work as an employee of someone else; self-employment in business, farming, or professionalpractice; and unpaid work in a family business orfarm. Persons who were temporarily absent from
a job or business because of a temporary illness,vacation, strike, or bad weather are considered ascurrently employed if they expected to work assoon as the particular event causing the absenceno longer existed.
Free-lance workers are considered currently em-
ployed if they had a definite arrangement withone employer or more to work for pay accordingto a weekly or monthly schedule, either full timeor part time.
Excluded from the currently employed popula-
tion are persons who have no definite employ-ment schedule but work only when their services
64
are needed. Also excluded from the currentlyemployed population are (1) persons receivingrevenue from an enterprise but not participatingin its operation, (2) persons doing housework orcharity work for which they receive no pay, (3)seasonal workers during the portion of the yearthey were not working, and (4) persons who werenot working, even though having a job or busi-ness, but were on layoff or looking for work.
The number of currently employed persons esti-mated from the Health Interview Survey (HIS)will differ from the estimates prepared from theCurrent Population Survey (CPS) of the U.S.Bureau of the Census for several”reasons. Inaddition to sampling variabilityy they include threeprimary conceptual differences, namely: (1) HISestimates are for persons 17 years of age and over;CPS estimates are for persons 16 years of age andover. (2) HIS uses a 2-week reference period,while CPS uses a l-week reference period. (3)
HIS is a continuing survey with separate samplestaken weekly; CPS is a monthly sample taken forthe survey week which includes the 12th of themonth.
Currently unemployed. –Persons 17 years andover who during the 2-week period prior to inter-view did not work or had no job or business butwere looking for work and those who had ajobbut were on layoff or looking for work are con-sidered currently imemployed.
Quarter.–The quarters used by the Health In-terview Survey are actually 13-week periodsrather than 3 calendar months. Since each 13-week period begins on a Monday and ends on aSunday, the actual dates of the beginning andend of each 13-week period may overlap intoanother calendar quarter. Therefore the timeperiods in the table headings are the approximaterather than the precise periods during which theinterviewing was conducted.
