POWR'95 was designed to provide baseline health and risk factor information to estimate the prevalence of a wide range of physical and mental health conditions and to make relevant comparisons both within military subpopulations and between military and civilian populations. The three components of POWR'95 consisted of self-report questionnaires that were mailed to approximately 25,000 randomly-sampled active-duty Navy and Marine Corps personnel, physical measurements that were taken on 1,300 subjects who participated in the survey, and a
