Harmonized US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1988-2018 for high throughput exposome-health discovery.

ABSTRACT: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) provides data on the health and environmental exposure of the non-institutionalized US population. Such data have considerable potential to understand how the environment and behaviors impact human health. These data are also currently leveraged to answer public health questions such as prevalence of disease.

Thus, we developed a set of c
