a

Crude and age-adjusted prevalence and 95% CIs were directly estimated by using sampling weights. Includes data from the 50 US states and the District of Columbia. Age-adjusted estimates were standardized to the 2000 projected US population aged ≥18 years in 4 groups (18–24, 25–44, 45–64, ≥65) for all characteristics except age group (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/statnt/statnt20.pdf). Categories may not sum to sample total because of missing responses.

b

Significant difference in crude prevalence across all age-group comparisons assessed by pairwise t tests; P <.05 considered significant.

c

Significant difference in crude and age-adjusted prevalence between male and female assessed by pairwise t tests; P <.05 considered significant.

d

Significant differences in crude and age-adjusted prevalence found for most pairwise comparisons across racial and ethnic subgroups (assessed by pairwise t tests and P <.05 considered significant). Pairwise differences were not significant for the comparison of crude and age-adjusted prevalence for non-Hispanic White compared with non-Hispanic Asian; non-Hispanic Black compared with non-Hispanic Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander; Hispanic compared with non-Hispanic Asian; non-Hispanic multiracial compared with American Indian or Alaska Native and non-Hispanic Other; and non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native compared with non-Hispanic Other. Comparison of the age-adjusted prevalence was not significant, while the comparison of the crude prevalence was significant for non-Hispanic White compared with Hispanic.

e

Significant difference in crude and age-adjusted prevalence across all marital status subgroup comparisons assessed by pairwise t tests (P <.05 considered significant).

f

Significant differences in crude and age-adjusted prevalence found for most pairwise comparisons across education subgroups (assessed by pairwise t tests, P <.05 considered significant). Pairwise differences were not significant for the comparison of crude prevalence for “less than high school diploma” with “high school graduate.”

g

Significant linear and quadratic trend in crude and age-adjusted prevalence using orthogonal polynomial contrasts trend tests (P <.05 considered significant). Indicates a nonlinear variation in addition to an overall increase as income attainment decreases.

h

Urban–rural classification defined by the National Center for Health Statistics 2013 urban–rural classification scheme (www.cdc.gov/nchs/data_access/urban_rural.htm). Significant linear trend in crude and age-adjusted prevalence using orthogonal polynomial contrasts trend tests (P <.05).
