Note. CI = confidence interval; AOR = adjusted odds ratio; nonresponse rates on income, education, and race/ethnicity included both the rates of “don’t know/not sure” and rates of “refuse to answer;” 95% CIs of weighted estimates were computed to compare item nonresponse rates by age-groups.
An adjusted logistic regression was applied to examine to compare the odds of item nonresponse on sexual orientation by age-groups with coding age 65 and older as the reference group and after controlling for gender, income, education, and race/ethnicity.
