Rates for females and males were age-adjusted to the 2000 projected US population using eight age categories. Overall rates were age- and sex-adjusted to the 2000 projected US population. Rates are per 100,000 population. Denominator data are based on the Rochester Epidemiology Project census (see reference in the text).
