Dannemiller 2 1 Hawaii Department of Health, Office of Health Status Monitoring, 2 SMS Research and Marketing Services Inc., Honolulu How does Hawai‘i fare with chronic disease? Will there be an increase burden of those suffering from a chronic disease? To answer this question data was analyzed from the Hawai‘i Health Survey, an annual telephone survey of Hawaii's people living in households with landlines. The years 1998-2005 were analyzed for trends in arthritis, asthma, diabetes, HBP, and HBC. Data included are from the adult respondent and also their answers for each household member. Hawai‘i has a multiethnic and multicultural society. Prevalence of chronic Years 1998 through 2005 were analyzed to provide estimates on prevalence of selected chronic conditions of the population. The questions asked are roster questions: Has anyone in the household been told by a physician or medical professional that they have high cholesterol? Who are they? Information on ethnicity is provided by coding the responses to Of what ethnic background is [household member's mother? Father?] 2 Over eight responses may be coded to determine whether the person is full or part ethnicity. Figures 2,3 present data by gender, age, and year from the HHS. The pattern illustrates that: Health information presented includes both chronic conditions and risk factor information. The five health conditions include arthritis, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure (HBP), and high blood cholesterol (HBC). The data have been age adjusted to the population of the US Census as Hawaii's population for the period of 1998-2005 is aging thus the trend information presented is an actual increase in prevalence not a result of aging of the population. Are the chronic conditions and risk factor prevalence increasing over the period from 1998-2005 as measured by the HHS? 1 US Census Bureau.

Internet Release April 1, 2005 We would like to thank the people of Hawai‘i who kindly gave their time and information so that this survey is possible. Introduction Results - Age Results –Disease The Hawai‘i Health Survey, initiated in 1968, was originally modeled after the National Health Interview Survey as a ‘face to face’ survey and became a telephone survey in 1996. It is implemented through the Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH), Office of Health Status Monitoring (OHSM). SMS Research and Marketing Services Inc., Honolulu, does the actual telephone interviewing by a Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) system. By year the sample includes over 6,000 adults with approximately 15,000 household members (Table 1). The survey response is approximately 50%. For further information please see the survey manual 3 . Population not surveyed includes households without telephones, homeless, group quarters, and the island of Ni‘ihau. Sample data are weighted and adjusted using Census data, vital record data from OHSM, and proprietary information from SMS Research. Sample numbers are weighted to represent households, adults, or the population of Hawai‘i. Data are analyzed using SAS and SUDAAN taking into account the complex survey design. Hawaii Health Survey Literature Cited Acknowledgements What does the increase in population by Census projections suggest for prevalence of the selected health conditions in 2030? By applying the prevalence proportion estimates from the HHS 2003-2005 average population by gender and age to the projections of the population by age and gender from the Census, estimates were calculated for the projected prevalence of the health conditions. All estimates are projected to almost double in numbers a percent increase of from 96.5 to 97.6%. Prevalence 2030?

The increase was statistically significant (pairwise statistical comparison at (а<0.05). The prevalence of diabetes is similar for males and females. * Age and Gender adjusted to 65-74, 75-84, and >84 years. Variance Estimation Method: Taylor Series (WR) The prevalence of asthma has increased from 1998 to 2005 (6.05 to 7.5%. However, the increase was not statistically significant (pairwise statistical comparison (а<0.05). Prevalence of asthma is highest among females. Prevalence of arthritis in the 65 year population is not showing an increase. Prevalence is highest for the female population. HBP has increased for both males and females from 1998 to 2005. The increase was statistically significant (pairwise statistical comparison at (а<0.05). Hawai’s population over 65 is projected to increase along with the population of the United States as a whole (Figure 1) 1 . The state of Hawai‘i was ranked 16th in the nation in 2000 for the percentage of population 65 years. By the year 2010 it is projected Hawaii’s rank will be 12th in the Nation 2 . That is an increase in numbers of >30,000 people. By the year 2030 the Census projects that the increase in the population 65 for Hawai‘i will be over 160,000 people. Figure 1.

How does Hawai‘i fare with chronic disease? Will there be an increase burden of those suffering from a chronic disease? To answer this question data was analyzed from the Hawai‘i Health Survey, an annual telephone survey of Hawaii's people living in households with landlines. The years 1998-2005 were analyzed for trends in arthritis, asthma, diabetes, HBP, and HBC. Data included are from the adult respondent and also their answers for each household member. Hawai‘i has a multiethnic and multicultural society. Prevalence of chronic disease may vary by ethnicity. This will also be briefly presented.

Years 1998 through 2005 were analyzed to provide estimates on prevalence of selected chronic conditions of the population. The questions asked are roster questions: Has anyone in the household been told by a physician or medical professional that they have high cholesterol? Who are they? Information on ethnicity is provided by coding the responses to Of what ethnic background is [household member's mother? Father?]2 Over eight responses may be coded to determine whether the person is full or part ethnicity.

Figures 2,3 present data by gender, age, and year from the HHS. The pattern illustrates that:

Health information presented includes both chronic conditions and risk factor information. The five health conditions include arthritis, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure (HBP), and high blood cholesterol (HBC). The data have been age adjusted to the population of the US Census as Hawaii's population for the period of 1998-2005 is aging thus the trend information presented is an actual increase in prevalence not a result of aging of the population.

Are the chronic conditions and risk factor prevalence increasing over the period from 1998-2005 as measured by the HHS?

Introduction Results - Age Results –Disease

The Hawai‘i Health Survey, initiated in 1968, was originally modeled after the National Health Interview Survey as a ‘face to face’ survey and became a telephone survey in 1996. It is implemented through the Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH), Office of Health Status Monitoring (OHSM). SMS Research and Marketing Services Inc., Honolulu, does the actual telephone interviewing by a Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) system. By year the sample includes over 6,000 adults with approximately 15,000 household members (Table 1). The survey response is approximately 50%. For further information please see the survey manual3.Population not surveyed includes households without telephones, homeless, group quarters, and the island of Ni‘ihau.

What does the increase in population by Census projections suggest for prevalence of the selected health conditions in 2030?

By applying the prevalence proportion estimates from the HHS 2003-2005 average population by gender and age to the projections of the population by age and gender from the Census, estimates were calculated for the projected prevalence of the health conditions. All estimates are projected to almost double in numbers a percent increase of from 96.5 to 97.6%.

Among 65 years diabetes has increased from 1998 to 2005. The increase was statistically significant (pairwise statistical comparison at (а<0.05). The prevalence of diabetes is similar for males and females.

* Age and Gender adjusted to 65-74, 75-84, and >84 years. Variance Estimation Method: Taylor Series (WR)

The prevalence of asthma has increased from 1998 to 2005 (6.05 to 7.5%. However, the increase was not statistically significant (pairwise statistical comparison (а<0.05). Prevalence of asthma is highest among females.

Prevalence of arthritis in the 65 year population is not showing an increase. Prevalence is highest for the female population.

HBP has increased for both males and females from 1998 to 2005. The increase was statistically significant (pairwise statistical comparison at (а<0.05).

Hawai’s population over 65 is projected to increase along with the population of the United States as a whole (Figure 1)1. The state of Hawai‘i was ranked 16th in the nation in 2000 for the percentage of population 65 years. By the year 2010 it is projected Hawaii’s rank will be 12th in the Nation2. That is an increase in numbers of >30,000 people. By the year 2030 the Census projects that the increase in the population 65 for Hawai‘i will be over 160,000 people.

The Hawai‘i Health Survey, initiated in 1968, was originally modeled after the National Health Interview Survey as a ‘face to face’ survey and became a telephone survey in 1996. It is implemented through the Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH), Office of Health Status Monitoring (OHSM). SMS Research, Honolulu, does the actual telephone interviewing by a Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) system. By year the sample includes over 6,000 adults with approximately 15,000 household members. The survey response is approximately 50%.

Population not surveyed include households without telephones, homeless, group quarters, and the island of Ni‘ihau. Sample data are weighted and adjusted using Census data, vital record data from OHSM, and proprietary information from SMS Research. Sample numbers are weighted to represent the households in Hawai‘i adult population,, or the population of Hawai‘i. Data are analyzed using SAS and SUDAAN taking into account the complex survey design.

Ethnicity Summary

Prevalence of asthma, diabetes, HBP, and HBC are increasing in the 65 population of Hawai‘i. The female population may have a different pattern of increase when compared to the males.

It is projected that the population 65 years will increase in Hawai‘i but also the prevalence of selected health conditions. The numbers for projections for prevalence estimates for the year 2030 suggested here may be conservative as the increasing prevalence of asthma, diabetes, HBP, and HBC are not taken into account. In addition, patterns vary considerably by ethnicity.

Limitations: Prevalence for health conditions are self reported and proxy information for other than the respondent. Group quarters (hospitals, nursing, care homes), homeless, and households without telephones are not sampled.

Data was also examined by full and part ethnicity for the Hawaiian, Filipino, Japanese, and White population of Hawai‘i. There are distinct differences. Table 4 summarizes some of the highest increases in prevalence by full/part ethnicity. Please see our Web site listed below for further information.
