^Φ

p<.01;

^¶

p<.001 for the difference between the risk profile and a risk profile of zero;

^†

p<.05;

^‡

p<.01;

^§

p<.001 for the difference between the risk profile and its preceding risk profile (e.g. three risk factors versus two risk factors).

^∥

Reported visit in the past year.

^**

Assessed for adolescents ages 12–17.

^††

For adolescents, four and five risk factors were combined into a single risk profile because of the smaller sample size.

Ex/Vg, excellent/very good; PR, prevalence ratio; CI, 95% confidence interval.
