	N = 2080^b

SD = Standard deviation.

Unweighted N’s and weighted percentages and medians were reported. Percentages may not add up to 100 due to rounding.

Except for the percentage of respondents that have a RSOC all percents and medians are based on the sample of individuals used for the check-up analyses (n = 2080). There is little difference in the basic descriptive statistics between these two samples.

Respondents were classified as having a chronic condition if they reported ever being told by a doctor they had high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, chronic lung disease, heart attack, coronary heart disease, arthritis, asthma or major depression.
