目标。比较美国三个国家健康调查中选定的健康指标和慢性疾病或状况的患病率估计。分析了2007年和2008年参与行为风险因素监测系统（BRFSS） （n=807,524）、2007年和2008年全国健康访谈调查（n= 44262）和2007年和2008年全国健康与营养检查调查（NHANES） （n= 5871）的18岁及以上成年人的数据。目前吸烟、肥胖、高血压和无健康保险的患病率估计在三次调查中相似，绝对差异范围为0.7%至3.9%（相对差异：2.3%至20.2%）。BRFSS对不良或一般健康状况的患病率估计与NHANES相似，但高于NHIS。糖尿病、冠心病和中风的患病率估计在三次调查中相似，绝对差异范围为0.0%至0.8%（相对差异：0.2%至17.1%）。虽然BRFSS继续在州和地方一级提供宝贵的健康信息，但令人欣慰的是，BRFSS与其他国家调查之间对类似水准的关键健康指标的流行率估计保持一致。Elsevier Inc.出版。
Objective. To compare the prevalence estimates of selected health indicators and chronic diseases or conditions among three national health surveys in the United States.Methods. Data from adults aged 18 years or older who participated in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in 2007 and 2008 (n=807,524), the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) in 2007 and 2008 (n=44,262), and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during 2007 and 2008 (n = 5871) were analyzed.Results. The prevalence estimates of current smoking, obesity, hypertension, and no health insurance were similar across the three surveys, with absolute differences ranging from 0.7% to 3.9% (relative differences: 2.3% to 20.2%). The prevalence estimate of poor or fair health from BRFSS was similar to that from NHANES, but higher than that from NHIS. The prevalence estimates of diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke were similar across the three surveys, with absolute differences ranging from 0.0% to 0.8% (relative differences: 0.2% to 17.1%).Conclusion. While the BRFSS continues to provide invaluable health information at state and local level, it is reassuring to observe consistency in the prevalence estimates of key health indicators of similar caliber between BRFSS and other national surveys.
