Additionally, there are 72 other conditions sample adults only could report treating with yoga, Tai chi, or Qi gong, and 28 other conditions that could be reported for sample children only. For the full list of conditions, see YTQTREAT.

Yoga, Tai chi, or Qi gong is one of 16 modalities of alternative medicine that were included in the 2002 and 2007 Alternative Health Supplements. Persons could report treating gum disease by 15 of those methods. (The omitted alternative method is prayer, which was included as a treatment for specific health problems in the 2002 survey only. See PRASELFEV for more information.) Analysts interested in the treatment of gum disease by other alternative therapies should see YTQYOGYR for the full list of alternative medicine treatments and a summary of other questions related to yoga, Tai chi, or Qi gong, as well as definitions.

For sample children, interviewers asked, "DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS, for what health problems or conditions did [fill: sample child's name] use yoga/Tai chi/Qi gong?" This difference in question wording is minimized, however, because the questions for sample adults preceding YTQTGUM (YTQYOGYR, YTQTAIYR, or YTQIGYR and YTQNO) did specify the 12 month time frame. Persons were only asked the question for YTQTGUM if they had earlier indicated that they had in fact practiced yoga, Tai chi, or Qi gong during the past 12 months.
