Anthropometry was taken in the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HHANES) to provide reference data for the determination of growth patterns for Hispanic children and to help estimate the prevalence of obesity in the United States Hispanic population. A major aspect of data collection in the HHANES was quality control to reduce systematic and random errors in the data and to quantify residual error. In general, the anthropometric data in the HHANES are as reliable as corresponding data from cycle III of the National Health Examination Survey (NHES III) and the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES II).

Key Words: Hispanic • survey • anthropometry • reliability • measurement error
