A nurse on each survey team will measure blood pressure, pulse, height, weight and waist size.
A blood sample will be taken to measure cholesterol and blood sugar.
A hair sample, to measure mercury levels, will be taken from women of childbearing age and participants 60 and older.
Participants will be given a $45 gift card for their help in the survey. Officials are not seeking volunteers; participants are being chosen to represent the diverse population of the state.
The survey is being financed by an $800,000 grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Kansas and Arkansas also were awarded survey grants.
Interesting...

It's intrusive, and ridiculous. This is what allowing government into healthcare wreaks.
Somebody bring back self-government. Please?

(I think so, Brain, but if we give peas a chance, won't the lima beans feel left out?)
