NHES Data -- National Health Examination Survey Data

These Stata and SAS data files were created by data@nber.org at the NBER to make to the CDCs' National Health Examination Survey (NHES) Data Files a bit easier.

The compressed plain ASCII text files, Documenation, and SAS code are a mirror of files available from the CDC's web site.

The binary data files (SAS or Stata) can be converted to other formats using software such as Stat/Transfer or DBMS/Copy.

Internal users can access the programs and data in a UNIX shell at /homes/data/nhanes/nhes, or
on an NBER PC at Network Neighborhood --> NBER --> home --> data --> nhanes --> nhes
To download files in Internet Explorer, right click on them and select "Save Target As...".
