Examining disparities in medical conditions in a 2004 sample of American Indians compared with North Dakota and U.S. data

^aAmerican Indian sample data were adjusted for age and gender using direct standardization to the 2000 U.S. population.

^bNorth Dakota and U.S. proportions presented are from the weighted data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

^cData from 2005 North Dakota (n=4,010) and U.S. (n=356,112) samples were substituted because data were not collected in 2004.

^dProportions are significantly different from those in the same row (p<0.05) based on Chi-square analysis.

^eThe American Indian sample proportion was not significantly different (p>0.05) from either the North Dakota (ND) or U.S. proportions, but ND and U.S. proportions were significantly different (p<0.05).
