For estimates by age and race and Hispanic origin, use of the following age categories is recommended for reducing the variability in the sample weights and therefore reducing the variance of the estimates: 5 years and under, 6-11 years, 12-19 years, 20-39 years, 40-59 years, 60 years and over.Īdjustment for nonresponse to the interview or exam The NHANES sample weights can be quite variable due to the oversampling of subgroups.
