The 2004 Health Survey for England was the second survey in the
series to focus on the health of minority ethnic groups. The
findings from this survey build on information that was obtained in
the 1999 survey.
As in previous years, core modules of questions were asked of all
participants, including topics such as fruit and vegetable
consumption, alcohol consumption and smoking. For adults,
additional questions were asked about cardiovasular disease and
diabetes. For children, questions on respiratory health were
included.
Only participants from minority ethnic groups were eligible for a
nurse visit, where key measurements such as blood pressure and
waist and hip circumference were recorded. Of those participants
who gave consent, a blood sample and urine sample was also obtained
by the nurse.
