Note. AOR = adjusted odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. Data are adjusted for age, race/ethnicity (White, African American, Hispanic, multiple race, and other), education, income, and activity limitations because of health problems. “Urban residency” and “rural residency” are defined as living inside and outside of a Metropolitan Statistical Area, respectively.
a
χ2 = 3.42; P = .064 (compared with rural residency).
b
χ2 = 7.86; P = .005 (compared with rural residency).
