Descriptive Statistics Assignment 1 CDC HNANES Database Survey Example
Please read the database survey information and review the Excel dataset from NHANES 2017-2018.
"The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a program of studies designed to assess the health and nutritional status of adults and children in the United States. The survey is unique in that it combines interviews and physical examinations. NHANES is a major program of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). NCHS is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and has the responsibility for producing vital and health statistics for the Nation.
The NHANES interview includes demographic, socioeconomic, dietary, and health-related questions. Examination component consists of medical, dental, physiological measurements, and laboratory tests.
Findings from this survey will be used to determine the prevalence and risk factors for diseases. Information will be used to assess nutritional status and its association with health promotion and disease prevention. NHANES findings are also the basis for national standards for measurements as height, weight, and blood pressure. Data used in epidemiological studies and health sciences research, which help develop public health policy, direct and design health programs, and services, and expand health knowledge for the Nation."

The attached Excel file is a partial dataset from the NHANES 2017-2018 survey and contains the following variables: gender, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, BMI, general health question, BMI, hypertension.
Coding chart
Gender - 1=female, 2=male
General Health question - "How would you rate your health on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 indicating excellent health and 5 indicating poor health?"
3. Using the table below. indicate the Levels of Measurement for each of the variables.
4. Using the table below, indicate whether the variables are continuous or categorical.
| Levels of Measurement Category | ||||||
| Variable | Nominal | Ordinal | Interval | Ratio | Continuous | Categorical |
| Patient ID | unique identifiers without a meaningful order or numerical value. . | Patient ID is categorial | ||||
| Gender | This divides patients into groups (such as male and female) with no order. | Gender is a categorial without a meaningful order. | ||||
| BMI | BMI is a continuous variable with a true zero point, and the differences between values are meaningful | BMI is a continuous variable | ||||
| Systolic BP (Blood Pressure) | Systolic blood pressure is a continuous variable with a true zero point. | Systolic BP is continuous | ||||
| Diastolic BP (Blood Pressure) | Diastolic blood pressure is also a continuous variable with a true zero point. | |||||
| General Health | General health is often measured on a scale (e.g., poor, fair, good, excellent) that has a meaningful order but not equal intervals. | General health is categorial | ||||
| BMI Group | BMI groups (ex. underweight, normal weight, overweight, obese) have a meaningful order but not equal intervals. | BMI group is categorial | ||||
| Hypertension | Hypertension is a categorical variable indicating the presence or absence of the condition. | Hypertension is categorial |
5. Provide the sample (n), frequency, percentage, and cumulative percentage for the following variables. (Patients 1-100)
| Variable | n | frequency | percentage | cumulative percentage |
| Gender | ||||
| Female (1) | 100 | 48 | 48% | 48% |
| Male (2) | 100 | 52 | 52% | 100% |
| BMI | ||||
| < 21 | 100 | 4 | 4 | 4 |
| 21-30.9 | 100 | 65 | 65 | 65 |
| 31-40.9 | 100 | 29 | 29% | 98 |
| >40.9 | 100 | 2 | 2 | 100 |
| General Health | ||||
| 1 | 100 | 6 | 6% | 6% |
| 2 | 100 | 24 | 24% | 30% |
| 3 | 100 | 42 | 42% | 72% |
| 4 | 100 | 17 | 17% | 89% |
| 5 | 100 | 4 | 4% | 93% |
| missing data | 100 | 7 | 7% | 100% |
| BMI Group | ||||
| 1. Normal | 100 | 32 | 32% | 32% |
| 2. Overweight | 100 | 30 | 30% | 62% |
| 3. Obese | 100 | 38 | 38% | 100% |
| Hypertension | ||||
| yes | 100 | 21 | 21% | 21% |
| no | 100 | 79 | 79% | 100% |
6. What does the data in this table regarding general health tell you?
7. In patients that have hypertension, calculate the frequency, percentage, and cumulative percentage of BMI category (Patients 1-100):
| Variable n frequency percentage cumulative percentage | ||||
| BMI | ||||
| normal | 10 | 10 | 47.6 | 47.6 |
| overweight | 47.6 + overweight percentage | |||
| obese | 100 | |||
8. In one sentence, what does this tell you about the relationship between weight and hypertension?
9. In one or two sentences, please explain the main purpose of descriptive statistics.
