NOTES: Data are for the civilian noninstitutionalized population. Persons who reported more than one condition were counted in each category. Conditions refer to response categories in the National Health Interview Survey; some conditions include several response categories. Conditions were determined by asking if a doctor or other health professional ever told the respondent that they had a specified condition. Persons reporting borderline diabetes are recoded to not diabetic. Heart disease includes coronary heart disease, angina or angina pectoris, or heart attack or myocardial infarction. Hypertension is told on two or more different visits. Percent of poverty level is based on family income and family size and composition using U.S. Census Bureau poverty thresholds. Missing family income data were imputed for 37% of adults 45 years of age and over in 2007. (See Appendix II, Family income; Poverty.)
