| Annotation | Previous research has shown significant differences between minority ethnic groups. The 1999 Health Survey has been designed to augment existing research, by interviewing a large-scale representative sample of 7,798 minority ethnic adults and 1,824 children throughout England, and by covering an extensive range of health issues. Volume 1 presents the findings, including: self-reported health and psychosocial well-being; prevalence of cardiovascular disease; smoking; alcohol consumption; anthropometry; blood pressure; physical activity; eating habits; use of health services; and non-fatal accidents. Methodological issues are covered in Volume 2. The summary volume presents selected findings from the survey, including comparisons between minority ethnic groups and the general population. Throughout the report, the oldest population is classified as those aged 55 and over. (RH). |
