1U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control, Hyattsville, Maryland.
Summary
This study provides clinical chemistry data for Hispanic populations in the U.S. The findings detail health indicators by age and sex from a 1982-84 survey.
Area of Science:
- Clinical Chemistry
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
Background:
- The Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES) collected health data from Hispanic populations in the U.S.
- Understanding clinical chemistry profiles is crucial for assessing population health.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present descriptive data on clinical chemistry profiles.
- To analyze these profiles based on age and sex demographics.
Main Methods:
- Descriptive analysis of clinical chemistry data.
- Utilized data from the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES).
- Data collected between 1982 and 1984.
Main Results:
- Provides baseline clinical chemistry values for a specific Hispanic cohort.
- Highlights variations in biochemical markers across different age groups and sexes.
Conclusions:
- Establishes reference ranges for clinical chemistry parameters in the surveyed Hispanic population.
- Informs future health assessments and targeted interventions for Hispanic communities.
