Description
For persons with at least one reported foot problem during the past 12 months, PODPROB1NO indicates the number of time units of the duration of the person's first foot problem. This variable should be used in conjunction with PODPROB1TP, which indicates the time period.
PODPROB1NO is part of the NHIS Podiatry Supplement, introduced in 1990. The purpose of this supplement is to obtain current data concerning problems with the feet, access to foot care, and the amount, frequency, and type of foot care obtained. For related variables and more information about this supplement, please use the IPUMS NHIS search function and drop-down menus.
