(1) Chronic disease estimates for 2000 and 2001 CANNOT BE COMPARED TO EACH OTHER. Between the release dates of these two publications, the National Health Interview Survey completely redesigned their questionnaire and oblierated all trends. Therefore, estimates prior to 1997 cannot be compared with later estimates. The 2000 estimates were obtained from the 1996 NHIS survey while the 2001 estimates were obtained from the revised 1998 NHIS survey.
(2) 2005 was the first year those 18 and under are incorporated as a sensitive group. In previous versions, 14 and under was used.
(3) Adult asthma disease estimates for the 2002 through 2006 reports CANNOT BE COMPARED to those for 2000 and 2001.
(4) Pediatric asthma estimates for the 2004 through 2006 reports CANNOT BE COMPARED to 2000-2003 data. The 2004-2006 estimate represents current asthma prevalence while the past three years of data measured asthma attack prevalence.
