OBJECTIVE: To compare the prevalence estimates of selected health indicators and chronic diseases or conditions among three national health surveys in the United States. METHODS: Data from adults aged 18years or older who participated in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in 2007 and 2008 (n=807,524), the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) in 2007 and 2008 (n=44,262), and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during 2007 and 2008 (n=5871) were analyzed. RESULTS: After adjustment for demographic characteristics, the prevalence estimates of current smoking, obesity, hypertension, and no health insurance were similar across the three surveys, with absolute differences ranging from 0.7% to 3.9% (relative differences: 2.3% to 20.2%). The prevalence estimate of poor or fair health from BRFSS was similar to that from NHANES, but higher than that from NHIS. The prevalence estimates of diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke were similar across the three surveys, with absolute differences ranging from 0.0% to 0.8% (relative differences: 0.2% to 17.1%). CONCLUSION: While the BRFSS continues to provide invaluable health information at state and local level, it is reassuring to observe consistency in prevalence estimates of key health indicators of similar caliber between BRFSS and other national surveys.
