Values are mean ± SEM (n = 25,351). Survey weights and adjustment for the complex survey design were properly applied allowing inference to the noninstitutionalized U.S. population. Total numbers do not always add to sample size due to missing values. Percentages do not always add to 100 due to rounding.
