The New York City Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NYC HANES) was a population based sample of New York City adults collected in 2004. To determine seroprevalence to 2009 H1N1 antibody, as well as viruses from prior pandemics, a 400 person subsample of repository serum was selected for inclusion in the study, representing persons who were 23 or older in 2004. All specimens were tested by hemagglutination inhibition assays for 1918 H1N1, 1957 H2N2, 1968 H3N2, and 2009 H1N1 pandemic influenza viruses.
