Description

For sample persons aged 18 and older who were employed in the past 1-2 week(s), who worked for a private company or for the federal, state, or local government, who worked at a location or facility that had more than 50 employees, and whose employer made exercise facilities available, WEFNONEUS reports if the person used none of the exercise facilities offered by his/her employer at work. Examples of exercise facilities in the survey include gymnasium or exercise room, weight lifting equipment, exercise equipment, walking or jogging path, parcours or fitness trails, bike path, bike racks, swimming pool, showers, lockers, or any other exercise facilities.

Comparability

A slight change in universe between 1994 and 1998 samples may affect comparability between samples. Changes in survey design (e.g., quarters in which the supplement was collected) may affect raw frequencies, but do not affect comparability of the variable. As always, data users should use the prescribed IPUMS NHIS weights.
