CDC/NCHS documentation supports continuity of the core NHANES anthropometry protocol across Continuous NHANES. Indexed differences for body weight are limited to dataset context and documentation wording, not a confirmed measurement discontinuity.

Praxis harmonization actions
  • Pool body weight across calibrated cycles without a method adjustment when no substantive variable-level change is present. Review weight comment codes, amputation handling, pregnancy considerations, and cycle-appropriate survey weights.
