We sought to evaluate the contribution of the New York City Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NYC-HANES) to local public health surveillance. Methods. Examination-diagnosed estimates of key health conditions from the 2004 NYC-HANES were compared with the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003-2004 national estimates. Findings were also compared with self-reported estimates from the Community Health Survey (CHS), an annually conducted local telephone survey. Results. NYC-HANES estimated that among NYC adults, 25.6% had hypertension, 25.4% had hypercholesterolemia, 12.5% had diabetes, and 25.6% were obese. Compared with US adults, NYC residents had less hypertension and obesity but more herpes simplex 2 and environmental exposures (P<. obesity was higher and hypertension lower than chs self-report estimates nyc-hanes self-reported diabetes were similar vs conclusions. national differed for key chronic infectious environmental indicators suggesting the need local data. examination surveys may provide more accurate information underreported conditions telephone surveys. community-level health nutrition complement existing data providing critical targeting interventions.>
