U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.
The book answers hundreds of questions about the scope and impact of the major infectious, chronic, and malignant digestive diseases. National and special-population-based data on specific digestive diseases provide information about the prevalence, incidence, medical care, disability, mortality, and research needs. The data were compiled primarily from the surveys of the National Center for Health Statistics, supplemented by other Federal agencies and private sources.
