目标.本研究的目的是比较全国健康访谈调查（NHIS）和行为危险因素监测系统（BRFSS）的全国估计值。作者比较了两次调查的吸烟、身高、体重、体重指数、糖尿病、高血压、免疫接种、缺乏保险覆盖、医疗费用障碍和健康状况的数据。在审查的14项措施中，13项的国家总体估计数相似。根据人口统计学特征，身高和体重指数差异较小，健康状况差异较大。虽然各分组的估计数不同，但BRFSS提供的国家估计数与NHIS的估计数相当。BRFSS国家数据可以提供快速可用的信息，以指导国家政策和方案决策。
Objectives. The purpose of this study was to compare national estimates from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS).Methods. The authors compared data from the 2 surveys on smoking, height, weight, body mass index, diabetes, hypertension, immunization, lack of insurance coverage, cost as a barrier to medical care, and health status.Results. Overall national estimates were similar for 13 of the 14 measures examined. Small differences according to demographic characteristics were found for height and body mass index, with larger differences for health status.Conclusions. Although estimates differed within subgroups, the BRFSS provided national estimates comparable to those of the NHIS. BRFSS national data could provide rapidly available information to guide national policy and program decisions.
