2021 NHANES Dry Run Health Measurements

You are participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) health examination as a dry run participant. We are pleased that you are interested in learning more about the survey by actually being examined at our Mobile Examination Center. Information collected as part of your examination will not be part of NHANES.

You will only have the test if your age falls within the ages shown in parenthesis. You may not receive all the exams or tests listed here. This can vary by the date of your appointment, type of appointment, or the study number you are assigned.

Depending on what appointment type or study number you have, you will receive the results of health measures shown with a black diamond (♦).

Two diamonds (♦♦) means you will receive the test result only if high or abnormal.
