abstract="This report brings together statistics on a variety of health topics for the population under 25 years of age-the children and youth of the Nation. Summary information relating to the amount and kind of illness, injury, and disability experienced by young persons is presented by topic. Information about the utilization of medical services and about health insurance coverage is also presented. The effect on some of these health characteristics of such variables as sex, residence, family in-come, and color is considered. Estimates from an earlier report, &quot;Children and Youth, Selected Health Characteristics, United States, July 1957-June 1958&quot; (Health Statistics From the U.S. National Health Survey, Series C, No. l), are presented in this report along with estimates updated to the most recent year for which comparable data are currently available. ln general, the estimates for the most recent year are based on data collected during 1968; however, for certain topics estimates are shown for either the July 1967-June 1968 period or the July 1966-June 1967 period. Health insurance data are shown for 1968 only since this type of information was not collected during July 1957-June 1958. All estimates presented were derived from information collected in household interviews for the Health Interview Survey.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
