Statistical effects of varying sample size on the precision of percentile estimates

Article Abstract:

Research indicates that reasonable precision of percentile estimates for the National Center for Health Statistics 1977 Growth Charts is dependent on the pooling of both NCHS survey data and The Third National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey, which was conducted between 1988 and 1991.

Weight, stature, and body mass index data for Mexican Americans from the The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III, 1988 - 1994)

Article Abstract:

Mexican American children ages 1-18 years were examined in order to compare health statistics with those recorded during the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, or NHANES. Research shows that Mexican American children tend to be shorter and heavier after preschool years than those children examined in the NHANES; implication for future health risks due to such factors as weight and stature are also discussed.
