1 8/6/213 South African National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey (-1) FUNDERS TEAM Purpose The South African National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey () was established as a repeated population health survey in order to address the changing health needs in the country and provide a broader and more comprehensive platform to study the health and nutritional status of the nation on a regular basis. 1

2 8/6/213 Objectives To investigate the: Knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of South Africans with respect to non-communicable and communicable diseases. Nutritional status of South Africans as it relates to food security, dietary intake/behaviour including the consumption of alcohol, and body weight management. Behavioural (smoking, diet, physical inactivity) and social determinants of health and nutrition (demographic, socioeconomic status and geolocation) and relate these to the health and nutritional status of the SA population. General perceptions of health and health care services. METHODS 2

3 8/6/213 Study Design -1 was a cross-sectional survey providing baseline data for repeated surveys and also for future longitudinal (prospective) analysis. A prospective cohort approach will be able to address the relationships between medical, nutritional and behavioural/societal risk factors assessed in the first survey phase (-1) and subsequent morbidity, mortality and changes in risk factors at the national level. Population and Sampling Individuals of all age groups living in SA households, excluding those living in institutions Multi-stage disproportionate, stratified cluster sampling 5 enumeration areas (EA) 2 households per EA All persons in the household were eligible to participate 3

4 8/6/213 Geographic distribution of EAs selected Data collection -1 obtained data through: Interviews based on questionnaires administered by fieldworkers Clinical examination by doctors, nurses and clinic assistants (free-of-charge) in a variety of settings measuring: Physical examinations: blood pressure, step fitness test, anthropometry Laboratory tests: blood samples for biomarker testing (full blood count, HbA1c, cholesterol, triglycerides, C-reactive protein, cotinine, vitamin A, ferritin) 4

5 8/6/213 Data management and analyses Questionnaire data: Children (-14 years), adults (15 years and older) double entered and verified using Census Survey Processing System Clinical Examination data: custom-designed forms Laboratory data: blood samples for biomarker analysis using for serum lipids, ferritin [Roche Modular, Immulite 2, BioRad D1, Abbott Architect]); High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) (HbA1c, vitamin A, cotinine) Analytical quality control documentation indicated that the coefficient of variation for the analyses ranged from % All data were analysed using SPSS and STATA Data were weighed and benchmarked against the 212 midyear population estimate PATHCARE Laboratories Laboratory tests LANCET Laboratories 5
