Bar graph — Age-adjusted prevalence of clinical risk factors for Alaska EARTH Study participants, 2004-2006, compared with Alaska NHANES participants, 1999-2004. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Direct age standardization is based on the 2000 census standard population for adults aged 20 years or older using age groups 20 to 34 years, 35 to 44 years, 45 to 54 years, 55 to 64 years, and 65 years or older. Clinical risk factor categories for EARTH Study participants are based on recommendations from the American Diabetes Association and the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (12,13). Clinical risk factor categories for NHANES participants are based on Health, United States, 2007 (16) and Cowie et al (17). Abbreviations: EARTH, Education and Research Towards Health; NHANES, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
