^*We compared receipt of the preventive health measures above by age and health status after adjusting for sociodemographic factors (race, education, income level, insurance status, and geographical region) and access to care (having a usual provider and number of clinic visits in the past year).

^†Perceived health, functional limitations, and a comorbidity count were used to classify women as either above average, average, or below average in health (page 7).
